Description of Our Community: Chengtian Temple is located in Huanggang community, Jinshan District, New Taipei City (in Northern Taiwan). On the back is Shitoushan, which was previously used as dugout shelters for air defense. There are still ruins at that time, but now it has become a popular tourist spot. Standing on Shitoushan, which is close to the Pacific Ocean, the tourists are attracted to the famous Twin Candlestick Islets.
Standing on the courtyard of Chengtian Temple, tourists are fascinated by the expansive sea. The fishing port of Huanggang is in sight. In summer, there are tourists who come here to enjoy the seascape and play with water and some of them even fish. From time to time, you can see the sight of fishing boats going out to sea. There are also hot spring clubs, youth activity centers, and community public pools in the vicinity. Chengtian Temple is located at the starting point of the ancient fish road, and it stands at the entrance to welcome tourists from downtown.
Jinshan District, surrounded by seas and mountains, is located in Northern Taiwan. It is close to the Pacific Ocean and the Taiwan Strait. Jinshan was previously known as “Jinbaoli,” a transliteration from a village of the local plain indigenous tribe. It was originally cultivated by the plain indigenous tribe. In the late Qing Dynasty, immigrants from Changchow and Chuanchow, two different regions in Fujian Province in China came here to colonize. Later on, they settled down. Today, Jinshan has highways extending in all directions, reaching Shimen and Danshui in the west, Wanli and Keelung in the east, and Yangmingshan National Park in the south. Thanks to its location in the center of the northern area, Jinshan has become a popular place for sightseeing and traveling. You can go hiking in the mountains and go swimming in the water.
Project Description: Chengtian Temple is the faith center of Huanggang Community. The main god is Yanping County Wang Zhengchenggong, better known as Koxinga. Most of the residents of the older generation here live by fishing. It is a typical fishing village. Chengtian Temple protects the residents and bless them with a good fish catch. The theme of this study focuses on a comprehensive research of the temple, including the origin of the temple, its history, the introduction of the main miracles, the characteristics of the building inside and outside, ritual activities, the introduction of the geographical location and surrounding environment. The study is done through the interviews with local elders, the collection of historical data, its literature and field surveys. We try to sort out the history of Chengtian Temple and its connection with the community so that everyone can understand the impact and importance of Chengtian Temple on Huanggang community. The team hopes that through this study, it will have a complete introduction to Chengtian Temple, and it hopes to help Chengtian Temple build complete materials so that generations can understand Chengtian Temple and achieve the purpose of passing on cultural heritage.
