碩士 / 玄奘大學 / 宗教學系碩士在職專班 / 103 / The essay majorly focuses on Ren-hai Temple (also called New Street Mazu Temple). It discusses the origin and history of the temple. Then I try to appreciate the art and architectural pattern in this holy space. Besides, I also pay attention to both the important ceremony and the analysis of cultural and historical relics such as the valuable couplets.
Being the leading temple in Chung-li, Ren-hai Temple , having the most follwers, represents and symbolizes the rise of Chung-li New Street, which is derived to fight with the original power in Chung-li Old Street. The relationship between the Fujian people and Guangdong people has a great influence on its establisment and development. Because of the background, Chung-li Ren-hai Temple and Ping-zhen Yi-min Temple united the thirteen villages in Chung-li by forming the Chungyuan Festival rotating worship network alliance.
Ren-hai Temple, built over two hundred years, though delicated to the goddess Mazu, also enshrines and worships other gods and goddess. This phenomenon reflects human desires in every aspect of life no matter how the outer circumstances changes. It is not only a religional comforting therapy now but also a political center in the past. The temple helps unite the people, especially the Hakkas to go through the hard times: Fujians-Hakkas fighting, Japanese reign period and World War II. People here take its activites as grand events and will never miss iany of them. Therefore, people in this area also attribute the success of the thriving and prosperous economy in Chunh-li to Ren-hai Temple.
In addtion to the educational functions, Ren-hai Temple provides a great place for tourism,too. It is an art museum.The design and architeture are fantastic and magneficient. We can appreciate many great works here. Recently, Ren-hai Temple senses its responsibility and becomes very active in public benefits and hopes to help enhance the social moral standard
In 2014, Ren-hai Temple and New Street Word Pavillion apply to have the honor to become the national relics. Truly, Ren-hai Temple is doubtlessly the most important cultural treasure for the people in Taoyuan county.
