Zhang Family Temple () is an ancestral shrine located in Xitun District, Taichung City, Taiwan. Built in 1904, the shrine is protected as a city monument.
The Matang Zhang clan (馬å Â張家) originated in Ninghua County, Fujian Province and migrated to central Taiwan. In 1870, several Zhang family members established a simple ancestral shrine in a house in Shangniupuzi (ä¸ÂçÂÂÃ¥ÂÂÃ¥ÂÂ). When the land was taken by the Japanese government to build Shuinan Airport, in 1904, family built another shine in its current location of Xiaqizhangli (ä¸Âä¸Âå¼µçÂÂ).
After World War II, the Zhang family carried out a series of renovations to the building, including replacing the roof tiles and using concrete to reinforce the structure. On November 27, 1985, the Taichung City Government protected the building as a city monument, but did not protect the left wing because it was heavily altered during the renovations; it would later be protected as a historical building on August 6, 2009.
The shrine complex is a siheyuan that contains ten buildings that are made of different materials: six of rammed earth blocks, two of wood, and two of straw. The main hall is named "Faxiangtang" (ç¼祥å Â) and is used for worship. The left wing was used as the private residence for the Zhang family while the right was leased out to farmers; therefore, the two wings are noticeably not symmetrical. There are three wooden plaques (bian'e) that date to the Qing Dynasty.
