Taishajiao Institute
was the unified title of the trade association
in Pengfu, it was composed of the trade
association of Jinlishun in Taiwan and Jinzhangshun
in Amoy. The year of the foundation was
actually before the Ganjia Period in Ching
Dynasty, and its most thriving period was
in Tongguang Period. This institute was
initially located at Tianho Temple and then
moved to Shuixian Temple where Mazu and
Shuxian Deity were enshrined and worshipped.
At that time the important businessmen and
stores in Pengfu would join this association.
It was renamed to be The Trade Association
in Pengfu. (Tiashajiao Institute in Pengfu).
After the restoration of Taiwan, this institute
has existed in name only. Afterwards, its
name has changed to the Chamber of Commerce
in Pengfu County and has remained till now.
Due to the alternation of the commerce form,
the institute has no longer had the former
grand and has simply become an organization
for the affairs of divinities. It has subscribed
to be the third-class historic spot. |
