Qiqing Sculpture Park Introduction
The birthplace of martial arts, witnessing the local history of the Qika area during the early development of Taiwan. In Xiluo, the local community was divided into Qika units for the protection of their homes. The practice of martial arts was prevalent in the area. In 1996, a sculpture park was established to commemorate the seven martial arts techniques, serving as a record of local history. The founder of the Qika Martial Arts Hall, Master Ashan, practiced martial arts from Shaolin Temple and excelled in the Golden Eagle Fist. During that time, rampant banditry in Taiwan posed a serious threat to the lives of the people, prompting the local martial arts halls in various villages of Qika to serve as self-defense training institutions. Currently, there are several memorial sites in Yunlin that commemorate Xiluo Qika, which are worth visiting, including Zhenxing Temple, the Ashan Master Cemetery, Qika Sculpture Park, Zhang Liao Ancestral Hall, and Guangxing Community, all of which preserve the spirit of Xiluo Qika.
