臺中線震災復興紀念碑

臺中線震災復興紀念碑, Earthquake memorial in Tai'an Village, Taiwan

Description

The memorial stands at a pathway intersection in Tai'an Village with carved inscriptions documenting the rebuilding that followed the 1935 earthquake. The stone is simple in form but prominent enough to draw attention as you walk through the area.

History

The memorial was built in July 1938 to mark the reconstruction period following the severe 1935 earthquake that shook the Hsinchu-Taichung region of central Taiwan. Its creation came as the area was still working through the recovery process.

Culture

The site serves as a place where local people gather to remember the 1935 earthquake and honor the rebuilding effort of their community. The inscriptions carved into the stone tell the story of how ordinary residents worked together to restore their village.

Practical

You can reach the memorial on foot with a short walk from the main road through the village. Information panels at the site explain the earthquake's impact and tell the rebuilding story.

Did you know?

The memorial blends architectural styles from the Japanese colonial period with traditional Taiwanese design elements common in the 1930s. This mix reflects how different cultural influences shaped the structures built during that era.
