The Yingshan Temple, built in 1822, is a well-preserved "Dingguang Buddha Temple" in Taiwan, where Dingguang Buddha is the local faith of the Hakka immigrants from Tingzhou, Fujian. The immigrants from Tingzhou jointly invested in purchasing land to build this temple to worship their hometown's guardian deity, Dingguang Ancient Buddha, and it also serves as an assembly hall for the people from Tingzhou. Yingshan Temple is located on Xuefu Road, opposite the Tamsui MRT Station. Although it is not a large-scale temple, it is complete in form and is a must-visit place for many researchers of traditional temple architecture, including the front hall, main hall, Sanchuan Hall, and wing-rooms. The decorations and carvings inside the temple are exquisite. In front of the temple, there is a semi-circular water pool, and behind the temple, there are two wells on either side. The wells are like a pair of eyes, and the semi-circular pool is like a frog's mouth, forming the "Frog Hole" in feng shui terms. The roof style of the main hall is a three-ridge style, while the two wing-rooms on either side have a flat and straight horseback style, presenting a simple and amicable style. The dragon ridge of the main hall forms a beautiful curved line, and the roof also symbolizes the status and hierarchy of traditional architecture. The glazed tiles and mud sculptures on the roof are rare and exquisite works of art. The stone carvings of the temple are characterized by their classic and elegant composition. The mud sculptures on the walls of the Sanchuan Hall are colorful and vivid, making them a masterpiece. The wooden carvings on the dragon pillars have delicate woodcarvings and hanging bars, which are suspended from the beams and serve to distribute the weight of the roof to each pillar, playing an important role in traditional architecture. The layout and beam structure of the temple are arranged in a way that the three-ridge hall is the central axis, with the corridor and wing-rooms on either side forming a complete and enclosed courtyard. The traditional wooden structure of the three-ridge hall is clearly visible, with a beam structure composed of two beams and three buckets. While understanding the beam structure, one can also appreciate the delicate and beautiful carvings. The temple is currently listed as a national monument.
