Xinpu Zhang Family Ancestral Temple

Xinpu Zhang Family Ancestral Temple, County-level ancestral hall in Hsinchu County, Taiwan

The Xinpu Zhang Family Ancestral Temple is a one-hall, two-wing building with a front courtyard (heding) enclosed by a wall. Its five-bay main hall has swallowtail ridges, brick walls in the douziqi bond, and a water-cart band near the eaves, with brick carving, cut-and-paste decoration, murals, and wood and stone carving on the facade. The main door bears a plaque reading "Zhang Family Ancestral Temple".

The Zhang family established the shrine around 1868, and the hall was completed in 1870 under the wealthy Zhang Yunlong. The original shrine burned during the 1895 fire that destroyed Xinpu Street in the Yiwei War. In 1908 Zhang Xiude rebuilt it as a one-hall, two-wing structure, and in 2006 it was designated a county-level monument.

The temple remains a gathering space where Zhang family members observe ancestral rites and maintain historical family records that span generations. These ongoing practices show how traditional customs continue to shape the life of the community today.

The temple stands in Xinpu Township in Hsinchu County, not in the north of the county. Since 2020 the restored building has housed the Zhang Yeye Children's Story House, so visits follow the story house's opening as a cultural facility; the Zhang family still manages the building.

The portrait of Zhang Yunlong hanging on the left side of the hall was painted during the Guangxu era (1875–1908). Zhang Yunlong, who lived from 1804 to 1880, founded the shrine around 1868; the hall itself was completed in 1870.
