跟著畫筆遊台南─五妃廟

Travel with paintings- Temple of five concubines

    五妃廟是台灣的國定古蹟，也是與孔廟同等級的原一級古蹟。事實上，雖然名氣不若孔廟來得響亮，歷史價值卻一點也不遜色。五妃廟被為數不少的古老巨木包圍，許多樹木都已十分粗壯，並且長滿了樹瘤，呈現了歲月的美麗。兩棵巨大喬木目測已經不下5層樓高，幾隻松鼠跳躍於枝枒間，環境可說十分清幽美好！買碗綠豆薏仁消磨個一小時光景，也是種旅遊時難能可貴的心靈沉澱。寫生這天四下無人，天色漸昏…令作畫過程十分享受，希望您也會喜歡。

    The Temple of the Five Concubines (五妃廟), known also by alternative names including the Temple of the Five Noble Ladies, is a temple in Tainan, Taiwan. It was built in front of the tomb of the five concubines of Zhu Shugui, the Ming Prince of Ningjing, who killed themselves in 1683 to accompany him in death. It is registered as a first-class historic site by the Republic of China government.

In 1683, the Qing Dynasty forces invaded Taiwan and defeated the Kingdom of Tungning, prompting Zhu Shugui to commit suicide. Rather than be left to an uncertain and inglorious fate in the hands of the Qing, the concubines elected to end their own lives as well. The names of the five concubines were Lady Yuan, Lady Wang, Xiugu, Sister Mei and Sister He; their full names are unknown.
