古今參照．鑑往知來 | 跨世代對話梳理宮廟文化

巍巍彰化，三百年建城，傳統藝師冠全臺，文化資產豐富。在近現代藝文設施未具時代，宮廟即信仰與藝術的殿堂。欣逢建縣三百年，宮廟藝術展足以讓漫長歲月的人文精神再次體現當代面貌。

1723年（雍正元年）因來臺移民開墾人數漸多，清廷增設彰化縣，遂成臺灣歷史最悠久縣治。閩粵來臺移民，以傳統儒、釋、道融合為民間信仰，安頓心靈，兼容並蓄的廟宇文化，粲然巍峨。建縣三百年，意義非凡，傳統宮廟承載三百年文化風華，此次以嶄新姿態走入美術館，帶領觀眾從本在自己生活周遭的宮廟，透過21世紀的詮釋，認識傳統工藝生命力與文化創造力，為彰化歷史傳承碰撞出新世代的火花。

《請眾仙迎神-宮廟藝術展》以「現在–過去–未來」時間軸線來發展，由我們彰化縣引以為傲之「人間國寶」、「薪傳獎」、傳統工藝暨無形文化資產保存技術及保存者的作品為起點，透過廟宇文化遺產與文物，探究傳統宮廟文化之美與意涵。另一方面，經由不同世代藝術創作的對比，鋪陳開庶民生活中的虔誠信仰、敬拜儀式、慶典科儀等在地文化，同時梳理宮廟藝術的發展脈絡。在AI時代，我們特別以展演及AR/AI數位科技互動設計，讓觀眾能置身古今對話的虛擬場域，發現宮廟藝術的無窮魅力。

展覽分為「古藝今來—宮廟信仰的美學詮釋」、「尋城訪古—廟宇文物的文化脈絡」、「祈願之地—世代更迭的庶民觀點」三大主題，著重於宮廟所發展出的藝術形式，透過傳統與當代不斷相互輝映，在新舊交融間，充分映照著今昔的美術發展與常民文化的特質，展現出宮廟與你我現實生活密不可分的關聯性，以藝術視角鑑往知來。宮廟藝術三百年來即臺灣藝術文化的根，茁壯於彰化，希望大家細細來品味與體驗。

本展結合科技與藝術，在第三展區以祈願與回溯為構思，展現科技運用於宮廟藝術的創意。主展區「有求必應」擴增實境「放天燈」Web-AR，全民全齡大祈福。策展單位特別以產學合作的方式，規劃的「有求必應」科技藝術設計，是由逢甲大學建築專業學院鄭月妹、顏眙祥老師帶領團隊做AR,AI設計，雅匠科技股份有限公司做Web-AR整合。適值春節假期，相信會成為展覽的一大亮點，精彩可期。此外，子展區為「時光迴廊」，透過老照片多媒體的科技運用，訴說昔日民俗活動與宮廟盛事。

Reflecting on the Past and Present: Navigating the Tapestry of Folk Religion Culture Through Generational Dialogues

With a 300-year history of county-building, Changhua proudly boasts traditional artisans renowned throughout Taiwan and a rich cultural heritage. In an era where modern arts and cultural facilities have yet to emerge, temples serve as sanctuaries for both faith and art. As we celebrate the tricentennial of the county＆#039;s founding, The Art of Folk Religion exhibition vividly reflects the cultural spirit of the ages, embodying a contemporary perspective on the enduring human essence throughout the centuries.

Established in 1723 (the first year of the Yongzheng era) by the Qing court due to an increasing number of immigrants, Changhua County became the oldest county seat in Taiwan＆#039;s history. Immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong integrated traditional Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist beliefs, creating a temple culture that harmoniously accommodates diverse cultural elements. The significance of the county＆#039;s 300-year history is profound, with traditional temples carrying the cultural splendor of these years. This exhibition, in its innovative approach, brings temples into art museums and leads viewers from the temples that surround their daily lives through a 21st-century interpretation, introducing the vitality of traditional craftsmanship and cultural creativity, sparking a new era in Changhua＆#039;s historical legacy.

The exhibition titled "All the Immortals Paying Tribute to Gods – The Art of Folk Religion” unfolds along the timeline of "Present - Past - Future." It commences with the works of our esteemed local "Living National Treasures," recipients of the "National Heritage Award," and custodians of traditional crafts and intangible cultural assets. The exhibition delves into the beauty and significance of traditional folk religion culture through temple heritage and artifacts. Contrasting with artwork from different generations, it presents the devout beliefs, worship rituals, and festive ceremonies of local culture in ordinary life, while tracing the evolution of the art of folk religion. In the age of AI, the exhibition uniquely incorporates performances and interactive designs using AR/AI digital technology, enabling the audience to engage in a virtual dialogue between past and present, discovering the infinite charm of the art of folk religion.

The exhibition is divided into three main themes: "Ancient Arts in Modern Times - Aesthetic Interpretation of Folk Religion," "Exploring the County＆#039;s History - Cultural Context of Temple Artifacts," and "The Place of Praying - Perspectives of Generational Change from the Common People." Emphasizing the artistic forms developed by folk religion, the exhibition highlights the continuous interplay between tradition and contemporary expression. This fusion of old and new mirrors the characteristics of artistic development and common culture across time, revealing the inseparable connection between folk religion and our daily lives. The 300-year history of the art of folk religion serves as the cornerstone of Taiwan＆#039;s artistic culture, flourishing in Changhua, inviting everyone to savor and experience its richness.
