Yang Hua Former Residence

金寧鄉 · Historic Sites

Yang Hua was a distinguished military officer of the Qianlong and Jiaqing eras, who once took part in the campaign against Lin Shuangwen and in anti-piracy operations. His ancestral residence is a traditional Minnan-style building with a three-section courtyard layout and a left-side protected wing. The main hall is decorated with a Sanchuan ridge, while the front and rear halls feature a continuous swallow-tail ridge. The detailed ornamentation is especially refined, with notable wood carvings and brick carvings on the door panels. Although the painted colors on the beams, columns, and bracket sets have faded, the carving remains vigorous and expressive.

Zhuzi Shrine

金城鎮 · Historic Sites

The Kinmen Zhuzi Shrine was established in the 26th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing dynasty (1687) and originally set up within Wujiang Academy. In the 35th year of the Qianlong reign (1770), Assistant Magistrate Cheng Yu, finding the academy too cramped, proposed building a hall and surrounding wings, but the plan was not completed because he left office. The property was later purchased by the local notable Huang Rushi and converted back into an academy, with altars dedicated to Zhuzi, Kui Xing, the Wenchang Emperor, the God of Earth and Wealth, and Kinmen worthies such as Xu Sheng, Lü Dakui, Lin Xiyuan, Wang Lixing, Qiu Kui, and Xu Xie. In the 46th year of the Qianlong reign (1781), the original academy site was requisitioned for the county assistant magistrate’s office, and a new academy and Zhuzi Shrine were rebuilt on the former site of the local charity school to the west.
