Xinpu Liu Family Ancestral Hall

Xinpu Liu Family Ancestral Hall, Ancestral hall in Xinsheng Village, Taiwan.

Xinpu Liu Family Ancestral Hall is an ancestral hall in Xinsheng Village, Taiwan featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements. The structure consists of three interconnected halls joined by courtyards and displays intricate brickwork throughout.

In 1864, Liu Chaoyuan of the 15th generation and Liu Shihe of the 17th, descendants of Liu Guxiang of Shijing Village in Raoping, Guangdong, proposed a shared ancestral hall for the Liu surname. Five shares funded it, Liu Rongguang of Xinpu Street donated the land, and Liu Shihe directed the work; it was completed two years later. The Hsinchu County government restored it from 2000 to 2004.

The hall is known for its many plaques, including the "Benzhi Baishi" tablet written by Liu Mingdeng during the Tongzhi era, alongside "Wenkui", "Enyuan" and "Mingjing" plaques. Tablets honour Feng Gong, grandfather of Liu Bang, and the Liu ancestors; a "Shihe Gong Changsheng Luwei" tablet was placed at completion to thank Liu Shihe.

The hall stands on Heping Street in Xinsheng Village, near the Xinpu Zhang and Zhu family temples. Part of the building is still lived in by Liu descendants and other rooms are rented out, so keep to the areas open to visitors. The 2002 restoration used yin-house dimensions for the doors and windows, later changed to yang-house dimensions only in the occupied right wing.

The hall's reputation rests on three counts: many plaques, many swallowtail ridges, and many imperial examination honours. Inside hangs the "Ben Zhi Bai Shi" plaque written by Liu Mingdeng during the Tongzhi era, alongside "Wen Kui", "En Yuan" and "Ming Jing" plaques. A tablet inscribed "Shihe Gong Changsheng Luwei" honours Liu Shihe, who led the construction.
