【台灣百廟】桃園人心中的信仰印記｜寶島神很大Online

Blessing of Formosa: The Religion living in Taoyuan’s memory
Chinese Text
大家好我是景福宮大廟的主任委員 簡征潭
我們的大廟是位在於桃園市市中心
桃園人都通稱它為大廟
它也是我們桃園的十五街庄的信仰中心
也是我們桃園人生活軌跡中很重要的一個記憶點
也是國家三級古蹟
那本宮的建築是由漳州大師陳應彬大師所監造設計完成的
他的作品有大龍峒保安宮、北港的朝天宮
我們建築物算是木造的宮裡算是最大的一個宮廟
我們的主祀是開漳聖王
我們歷史也是有兩百七十五年了
從那個乾隆十年到至今
我們本宮也辦過很多活動
譬如說那個成年禮啊還有那個祈福法會還有那個最近的那個月老神君的活動
月老神君從臺北的霞海城隍廟分靈而來的
為什麼要用霞海城隍廟的月老
因為我想說現在的年輕人都是接觸外來的文化對本土傳統文化的認知就比較少
所以說我想說讓年輕人多接近一下廟宇知道老祖宗所發揚下來的傳統
我也歡迎大家有空的話來我們桃園大廟景福宮參香
我相信聖王公會保佑大家闔家平安 心想事成
謝謝大家

Hi everyone, I’m Jian Zhengtan, the chairman of Jinfu Temple.
Jinfu Temple is located in downtown Taoyuan City
It is also called the Great Temple by the locals
the Great Temple is also the religion center throughout the 15 villages in Taoyuan
It also holds precious memory for those who live in Taoyuan
Jinfu Temple is a national third-class monument
The building was supervised and designed by Master Chen Yingbin from Zhangzhou
His works include Dalongdong Baoan Temple and Chaotian Temple in Beigang
Our building is commonly considered the largest wooden temples in Taiwan
The major god here is the King-Kaizhang
Our temple is 275 years old
It has been here since the tenth year of Qianlong’s reign
So far we have held so many activities
For example, coming-of-age ceremony, the blessing ceremony, and the recent activity of God Yuelao.
God Yuelao of Jinfu Temple actually comes from Xiahai Chenghuang Temple, Taipei.
We set up this event to draw young people’s attention.
Because nowadays, most young people are exposed to foreign cultures
Many of them know little about our local culture.
So I want to let young people get closer to the temple and know the traditions carried forward by the ancestors
I sincerely welcome everyone to visit our "Da-Miao"
Maybe pray to our God
I believe that King-Kaizhang will bless whoever visit him with fortune and safety
Thank your for listening, goodbye
