Ancestor Worshipping Activities of the Chen Family in Taiwan—A Case Study of the Chen Wan-jin Family / 臺灣陳姓家族的祭祀與宗教聯誼活動--以金墩陳萬金家族為例

碩士 / 輔仁大學 / 宗教學系碩士在職專班 / 104 / The present study explores Chinese ancestor worshipping of the Chen Dexing Hall, a historical relic and century-old ancestral hall of the Chen clan.
By means of field investigation and collecting genealogy books, the genealogy of the Chen Wan-jin family is compiled. Details of ancestor tomb sweeping, ancestor worshipping and the passing-down of worshipping rites are documented. The first recorded ancestor who immigrated to Taiwan is Chen
Lian-yuan. Now there are eleven family tombs. The researcher put the collected genealogies of the Chen clan in order. What follows is a thorough discussion of the source of the two hall names, “Nan Yuan” and “Jin Dun,” mainly based on Manuscript Genealogy of the Chen Family of the Nanyuan-Jindun Branch complied by Chen Dui-hou, together with the genealogy compiled by Chen Wen-cheng. The genealogies discussed in this study are collected from filed investigation.
It is hoped that through the study, the younger generation can pay respect to their ancestors and family clans, gain a new understanding of the meaningful existence of family clans, and that the society can develop proper social values after understanding the essence of worshipping ancestors.
