Family appeals for help in heritage dispute

Family appeals for help in heritage dispute By Hsieh Chun-lin and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writer New Power Party Legislator Chen Jiau-hua (陳椒華) on Wednesday called on the Ministry of Culture to intervene to stop members of the Chen (陳) family residing in the centuries-old Chen Yueh Ancestral House (陳悅記祖屋) from being evicted. The house, built in 1807 during the reign of Qing Dynasty emperor Jia Qing (嘉慶), is considered a vital cultural heritage. It is home to the Chen family, who had produced several distinguished scholars, including Chen Weiying (陳維英), who was nominally a teacher of emperor Xian Feng (咸豐). It was granted national heritage status in August 2018, but the property was recently included in a revitalization project proposed by the Chen Ancestor Worship Guild, and the family was asked to move out, Chen Jiau-hua told a news conference in Taipei.
