Layers of temple craftsmanship
Ciji Temple preserves glazed pottery by Ye Wang (葉王), cut-and-paste ceramic decoration by He Jinlong (何金龍), door-god paintings by Pan Lishui (潘麗水) and fine woodcarving. Some works remain in the temple, while others are kept in the adjacent cultural display hall. Above the entrance, carvings by Su Shuiqin (蘇水欽) show fish, shrimp, crabs and fishing baskets in layered openwork.
Reclaimed materials at Laotanghu
Artist Kuang Jinfu (匡進福), also known as Kuang Yi (匡乙), created Laotanghu from discarded old building materials. Its works combine scenes of early Taiwanese rural life, Fujian-style architecture and imagery of Mongolia’s frontier.
