Zhang Liao Family Temple Introduction

The Zhangliao Family Temple in Xitun was proposed for construction in the 12th year of the Guangxu era (1886) and received support from the clan members. Construction began during the Japanese occupation in the 42nd year of the Meiji era (1909) and was completed in the 5th year of the Taisho era (1916). The Zhangliao Family Temple features a grand elongated facade formed by the San-chuan Hall, dragon guardians on both sides, and two mountain gates. From an aerial view, it can be seen that the San-chuan Hall connects with the worship hall and main hall through two water corridors, creating a closed space that highlights its sacredness during ritual ceremonies. The exquisite wooden structure is adorned with colorful paintings, unique lion seats that serve to ward off evil and stabilize the beams, as well as blue circular windows complemented by gray-striped swastika patterns, showcasing a harmonious and rustic architectural style.
