Maozi Pu Qingqian Temple Introduction
"Qingqian Hall" is located in the Zhuozi Pu area of Wuhu Village, Xihu Township, along the north side of Highway 119. It is the ancestral home of Mr. Zhang Qingxiu, the ninth township chief of Xihu Township. "Qingqian Hall" was initially built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing dynasty and has a history of over a hundred years. It has undergone several renovations, with the most recent major restoration occurring around the 43rd year of the Republic of China. Externally, it appears to be a spacious brick-paved three-entry courtyard building, but upon closer inspection, its layout, beams, columns, and spirit tablets exhibit a unique style distinct from typical traditional Hakka residences. The entire house is structured in a "Chang" shape, symbolizing the prosperity and flourishing of the family, and is divided into a main hall, left and right side rooms, and two courtyards. Above the main entrance of the hall are the three large characters "Qingqian Hall," flanked by two ancient stone pillars. The brackets and crossbeams are intricately carved, exuding an antique charm. "Qingqian Hall" boasts a grand layout, surrounded by lush greenery and bamboo, creating an elegant ambiance that easily evokes nostalgia. It is undoubtedly a historical residence worth preserving.
