魏成美堂家族建築發展研究

魏氏家族渡台後定居於彰化永靖，第二代魏尚瑩因管理十五庄圳後，在地方興起。魏成美堂擇址於十五庄圳的排水路上，從大尺度的水利發展、管理，到魏氏家族的擇扯與定居，魏成美堂的起大厝，與十五庄圳息息相關。魏成美堂的建築沿革，跨越清朝、日治時期、國民政府三個政權的變遷，從水館、籌建祠堂，再擴建成二進雙護龍的院落格局，反應魏氏家族發展與分合的歷程。本研究除了探討魏氏家族發展及其與十五庄圳的關係外，並以台灣傳統建築位序觀、家族分房分家和宗教信仰的改變做為基礎，來敘述魏成美堂的建築發展。

After the Wei’s family immigrated to Taiwan and settled down in Yongjing of Zhanghua, they became rich in the town, because Wei Shang-ying of the second generation run the Fifteen-Town Canals. The Wei Chengmei Hall was allocated by one of the Fifteen-Town Canals and the management of irrigation system was closely related to the settlement of the Wei’s family and the construction of this family house. During the period of three political eras, the architectural development of the Wei Chengmei Hall went through three phases of transformation, from a water house to an ancestral shrine, and then to a fully developed courtyard house compound with two rows and double wing buildings, in accordance with the generation and the division of the Wei’s family members. Apart from a scrutiny of the relationship between the Fifteen-Town Canals and the development of the Wei’s family, the architectural development of Wei Chengmei Hall was narrated on the basis of the ethical order of a traditional Taiwanese house, the generation and the division of the family members and the change of their religious belief.
