For the upcoming Grand Exploration Expert Seminar taking place at the Youth Development and Family Education Center (YDFE), the organizer has invited cultural tour guide Yao Chi-chung to share his knowledge on Taiwan’s historical buildings and traditional architecture craftsmanship with the audience. The seminar will take place at 2:30 PM on Saturday, April 22.
With the continued development and expansion of Han Chinese settlements over the past 400 years, numerous buildings with Fujian and Guangdong architectural characteristics have dotted the island – from temples to residences to fortified establishments to memorial archways. Many of these architectural works are collaboration among craftsmen from various domains, whether woodworks, masonry, clay sculpture, papercraft, or painted pottery. These buildings contain interesting details that help observers learn more about the importance of the conservation and protection of cultural heritages.
As a founding member of Taipei City Old Fashion Historical Monument Association, Yao is an expert in Taiwanese historical architecture and cultural heritage education. He has participated in several important evaluation committees for historical monument conservation, including the ones reviewing Mailiao Kongfan Temple and Kinmen County’s Wuqiu Island Lighthouse.
