The Modern Redevelopment of Douliu Chongxiu Hall

Douliu Chongxiu Hall holds a significant place in the history of the I-Kuan Tao, being the first Buddhist hall established by Chen Hongzhen, a revered predecessor of the Fa Yi Chong De (the largest group within the I-Kuan Tao). This site carries deep symbolic meaning for followers of the I-Kuan Tao. However, with the evolving times and the development of Taoist affairs, the original hall faced the necessity of reconstruction due to its insufficient space.

The new building is a modern steel-structured Chongxiu Hall featuring an enlarged Xieshan-style roof, symbolizing a fresh era of development for Fa Yi Chong De and the Chongxiu Hall. The design incorporates the original hall's imagery by constructing a new entrance porch that retains and relocates the original mountain gate. This newly built porch, maintaining the original scale and details, is embedded within the new structure, preserving the historical emotions tied to the original Chongxiu Hall.

The new design ensures that the historical essence of the hall is retained, allowing visitors from home and abroad to not only admire the grandeur and modernity of the newly constructed temple but also to connect with the historical relics left by the early pioneers. The integration of these elements creates a seamless blend of tradition and innovation.

By mirroring the imagery of the original Chongxiu Hall in the new entrance porch, the design preserves the original scale while introducing energy-saving and ventilation features into the green architecture exterior walls. This thoughtful integration of past and present reflects the new vitality and forward-thinking development of Chongxiu Hall, blending historical preservation with modern architectural advancements, and fostering a deep connection between the past and the present.
