Yuanlin Zen Temple, as a key religious center in the Yuanlin area of Changhua County, holds not only a rich historical background but also a unique cultural value that reflects the fusion of Japanese-era influences and modern Taiwanese Buddhism. In the past, our understanding of the temple was mostly limited to its appearance and rituals, with little exploration into its historical evolution, religious heritage, artifact preservation, and community engagement. Through this research project, we aim to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the temple’s development and cultural significance. We also hope to raise awareness about the importance of preserving local religious and cultural heritage, and to contribute valuable insights and recommendations for future cultural tourism promotion in the region.
