Background Info:
To further build understanding about Taiwan’s historical relics, Chunghwa Post is issuing a set of four stamps on the following four historic places: the Longshan Temple of Mengjia, Lin Ben Yuan’s Garden of Banciao, the Chaotian Temple of Beigang and the Old Fort Anping in Tainan. The designs of the four stamps follow: (1) The Longshan Temple of Mengjia: In 1738 people from Jinjiang, Nanan and Huian of Cyuanjhou, Fukien Province chipped in to build this temple in what is today the Wanhua area of Taipei. It is a classical courtyard house in the traditional palace style with a front hall, a main hall, and a back hall, as well as left and right wings. It has been designated a Class II historical relic. (2) Lin Ben Yuan’s Garden of Banciao: Construction of this building complex started in 1847 and was completed in 1893. It is the most magnificent extant example of late 19th century architecture in Taiwan. This relic includes the Lin Family Garden, a house with three courtyards, and a house with five courtyards. It has been designated a Class II historical relic. (3) The Chaotian Temple of Beigang: Sometime during the Cing Emperor Kangsi’s reign (1662-1722 approx.), a Buddhist master named Shu-bi brought a statue of Mazu from Meijhou, Fukien Province to settle in Taiwan to bless the local people. In 1700, a southern-palace-style temple was built in the current location. After restorations for various generations with many delicate antiques inside, the temple has been designated a Class II historical relic. (4) Old Fort Anping of Tainan: In 1624 the Dutch built a fort in Tainan called Fort Zeelandia. When Koxinga, a Ming loyalist leader of those opposed to Manchu rule in China, drove away the Dutch, the fort was renamed Taiwan City. After World War II, its name was once again changed to Old Fort Anping. It has been designated a Class I historical relic.
