Han Jiang Ancestral Temple 韩江家庙（潮州会馆）

Han Jiang Ancestral Temple is the only Teochew-style temple in Georgetown. Awarded the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Award for Culture Heritage Conservation in 2006, it is run by the Penang Teochew Association. The temple is dedicated to the Taoist God of the North, a Teochew patron deity. The temple serves as the heart of Teochew culture in Penang. Recently, a project, funded by the local Teochew community, was undertaken to restore the Han Jiang Ancestral Temple. Traditional craftsmen imported from China carried out the brunt of the restoration works. In 1885, due to the rising number of Teochew immigrants from China to Penang, the Teochew Kongsi was formed when six immigrants banded together and bought a house at Lebuh Beach. In 1869, it moved to its present site at Lebuh Chulia and became the precursor to the Teochew Kongsi; in 1935 its name was changed to the Han Jiang Ancestral Temple. Originally the Han Jiang Ancestral Temple was built in the si dian jing-style (four point gold): gables of the roofs forming a square around a small central courtyard. In 1890, when the Teochew community was thriving, funds were allocated for a more elaborate Chinese-style gate building. The inner temple is reached through three doors (a typical Teochew design); the colourful and elaborate Yu Gate on the roof, an archway with a dragon statue, is just one of the many intricate sculptures in the temple. Though the exterior façade of Han Jiang Ancestral Temple is plain, the interior is ornately decorated: check out the detailed outline of the temple’s restoration on the main walls inside the temple. Following Confucian tradition, the inner temple of Han Jiang Ancestral Temple houses ancestral tablets of deceased Teochews. The beautiful Hall of Respect and the elaborate Fraternity signboard are just a few attractions within this temple that merit closer inspection. In addition to its efforts in physically revitalising Teochew architecture through the restoration of Han Jiang Ancestral Temple, the Penang Teochew Association has been working side-by-side with Han Jiang Ancestral Temple to conserve Teochew heritage, namely by reviving Teochew opera, food and cultural activities. 韩江家庙，或称为潮州会馆是一座很有特色的中国式建筑物，也是乔治市仅存的传统潮州家庙式建筑物。它在2006年荣获联合国教科文组织亚太区文化遗产保护奖。 槟榔屿潮州会馆创立于1855年，原称潮州公司，会址设在社尾街381号。及后咋爱1864年创立韩江家庙，并于1870年搬迁到现址。 当初成立会馆的宗旨是为了照顾从中国潮州南来的同乡福利。教育是栽培后代子弟的根本，因此韩江家庙在1919年成立韩江学校；1950年7月筹建韩江中学。 这座家庙曾在2003年至2005年，聘请中国的工匠前来进行翻新修复，恢复了昔日的风貌。从大门走进去，门后两旁是展示厅，以图文并茂展示这里的历史和修复前后的照片，让后人更加了解这个会馆。 槟榔屿潮州会馆(Penang Teochew Association) 地址:127, Chulia Street, 10200 Penang, Malaysia 电话: 604-2615629/2625629 传真: 604-2636784 电邮地址: [email protected]
