The “Fuxing Granary” was originally constructed as a rice storage facility that gathered rice from various regions, symbolizing prosperity. Built around the 24th year of the Republic era (1935 AD), the Fuxing Granary has preserved its complete traditional architectural features, including the distinctive “tiger’s window” (a type of gable window), as well as walls crafted from coarse rice husks, straw, and clay. Today, it stands as an iconic landmark of Fuxing Township. As an agricultural hub, Changhua County has long relied on such facilities. Specifically, Fuxing Township has been a major rural production center since the Japanese colonial period, which enabled the construction of this expansive granary covering over 1,000 *ping*. The most valuable feature of the Fuxing Granary lies in its roof, which incorporates the “tiger’s window” design to facilitate ventilation and heat dissipation. This unique structural configuration exemplifies a highly appreciable aspect of architectural craftsmanship.
