Dian'an Temple

Beidou Dian'an Temple (Chinese: 北斗奠安宮; pinyin: Běidǒu Diànān Gōng) is a temple located in Beidou Township, Changhua County, Taiwan. The temple is dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu, who is the deified form of Lin Moniang. History The history of Dian'an Temple traces back to another temple in Dongluo known as Tianhou Temple (current-day Jiumei in Xizhou Township). Sources disagree on when Tianhou Temple was founded (1684 or 1718), but the small temple was one of the first Mazu temples in southern Changhua and had a devout following. In the late 18th century, floods and conflicts between Quanzhou and Zhangzhou settlers caused widespread damage to Dongluo. Therefore, in 1806, Tianhou Temple was moved from Dongluo north to current-day Beidou, which had a higher elevation, and was renamed as Dian'an Temple. Despite being protected as a level three monument in 1983, Dian'an Temple was in desperate need of repair, leading to heated debates on how to preserve the building. A rear hall was constructed in 1985, and the original temple was dismantled and moved to Taiwan Cultural Park, a tourist attraction in Huatan Township, in 1988. The older temple's protected status was removed the same year. Then, between 1989 and 2003, a new temple was constructed on the original site. Meanwhile, Taiwan Cultural Park was heavily damaged after the 1999 Jiji earthquake and was closed to the public. Dian'an Temple was fortunately not destroyed, but the park's closure meant that it was left unprotected. On 1 July 2013, the original Dian'an Temple was redesignated as a historical building as a first step to the building's preservation. In November 2020, the Changhua County Government formed a committee to reconstruct it in the current Dian'an Temple's parking lot. Architecture The current Dian'an Temple in Beidou is unique in that it contains a market in the rear hall. During the building's construction, the temple lacked the funds to complete the building, so they allocated a space for market vendors for extra income to the temple. After damage in the 1999 Jiji earthquake, the market was refurbished and completed in 2016. References
Templo Dian'an

El Templo Dian'an de Beidou (pinyin, Běidǒu Diànān Gōng) es un templo ubicado en la localidad de Beidou, condado de Changhua, Taiwán. El templo está dedicado a la diosa del mar Mazu, que es la forma deificada de Lin Moniang. Historia La historia de Dian'an se remonta a la de otro templo en Dongluo conocido como Templo Tianhou (actualmente Jioumei en la localidad de Xizhou). Las fuentes no están de acuerdo de cuándo se fundó el Templo Tianhou (en 1684 o en 1718), pero el templo pequeño era uno de los primeros templos dedicados a Mazu en el sur de Changhua y tuvo un público devoto. A fines del siglo XVIII, Dongluo sufrió daños considerables debido a inundaciones y a los conflictos entre los habitantes de Quanzhou y Zhangzhou. Por eso, en 1806, el Templo Tianhou se trasladó desde el norte en Dongluo hasta su ubicación hoy en día en Beidou, que estaba en una posición más elevada, y fue rebautizado como Templo Dian'an.​​ En 1983, a pesar de ser un monumento protegido de nivel tres, el Templo Dian'an requería reparaciones urgentes, lo que llevó a intensos debates sobre cómo preservar el edificio. En 1985 se construyó una sala posterior y en 1988 el templo original se desmanteló y trasladó al Parque Cultural de Taiwán, una atracción turística en la localidad de Huatan. Ese mismo año el estado de monumento protegido del tempo fue revocado.​ Más adelante, entre 1989 y 2003, se construyó un nuevo templo en la ubicación original.​ Por su parte, el Parque Cultural de Taiwán sufrió daños graves después del terremoto de Chichi de 1999 y se cerró al público. Sin embargo, el Templo Dian'an no fue destruido, pero el cierre del parque trajo como consecuencia que quedara desprotegido. El 1 de julio de 2013 el Templo Dian'an original volvió a ser designado como edificio histórico como un primer paso para la preservación del mismo. En noviembre de 2020, el Gobierno del Condado de Changhua reunió a un comité para reconstruirlo en el estacionamiento del actual Templo Dian'an.​​ Arquitectura El Templo Dian'an moderno en Beidou es único porque contiene un mercado en la sala posterior. Durante la construcción del edificio, el templo carecía de fondos para completar el edificio, por lo que reservaron un espacio para vendedores del mercado para obtener ingresos adicionales para el templo. Después de los daños causados por el terremoto de Chichi de 1999, el marcado fue renovado y terminado en 2016.​​ Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Templo Dian'an.
