MACAU (MACAO), EXPLORING a historic and ANCIENT BUDDHIST TEMPLE ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go inside this ancient Chinese Buddhist temple in Macau (China) to witness a ceremony taking place, what an experience!
Macau is an autonomous region on the south coast of China, across the Pearl River Delta from Hong Kong. A Portuguese territory until 1999, it reflects a mix of cultural influences. Its giant casinos and malls on the Cotai Strip, which joins the islands of Taipa and Coloane, have earned it the nickname, Las Vegas of Asia. One of its more striking landmarks is the tall Macau Tower, with sweeping city views.

三街會館 關帝廟 Pagode Sam Cai Vu Cun - Macau One Minute 澳門一分鐘 (00861)
三街會館 關帝廟 Pagode Sam Cai Vu Cun - Macau One Minute 澳門一分鐘
#關帝廟 #Pagode #temple
三街會館（Pagode Sam Cai Vu Cun）（又名關帝廟），是位於澳門特別行政區議事亭前地旁邊的廟宇，為早期澳門華人商家的議事場所。2005年以澳門歷史城區的部分被列入世界文化遺產名錄內。
會館在明代末年已經出現，至清代粵海開關以後始定名為「三街會館」。「三街」指澳門最早的三條街道：營地大街、關前街和草堆街；「會館」則由三條街道的商行組成。三街會館初設時為商人議事的場所，澳門的商賈們在此聯絡感情、溝通商情，也是清政府發布公告的重要場所。日子一久，三街會館成為澳門華人的議事場所；而後來的澳葡政府也以會館作為聯繫華人的唯一機關。
三街會館的建築已無從考證，經數次大修而成為現今的面貌。會館開設之初，即設關帝像供奉。由於起初時議事場與廟宇合一，而後來三街會館功能消失，廟宇成為了會館的主要功能，故被人直呼其為「關帝廟」。
澳門的早期商人，喜歡聚集一起溝通商情。商人選擇的議事場多是重要的廟宇中，起初在媽閣廟、蓮峰廟中。後來有人牽頭組建會館，結束了在廟宇議事的習慣。三街會館的建築巳無從考證，但據重修碑記載，三街會館初修於清朝乾隆五十七年（1792年）。嘉慶九年（1804年）和道光十五年（1835年）分別進行第二次和第三次大修。在三街會館開設之初，議事場與廟宇合一；後來在最後一次大修，才將在建築旁增建了一間公所才與廟宇分開。
三街會館初設時是商人議事的場所，澳門的商賈們在此聯絡感情、溝通商情，也是清政府發布公告的重要場所。日子一久，三街會館成為澳門華人的議事場所，而澳葡政府也以會館作為聯繫華人的唯一機關。三街會館作為商人會館，卻超越了一般工商團體所履行的功能。其中，在嘉慶十年（1805年），免疫接種牛痘的醫療技術傳入澳門時，三街會館曾是中國最早的痘館；三街會館也是舉行節慶活動的地方，例如：在農曆新年初八，於三街會館前地會舉行舞醉龍、節慶遊行和派發長壽飯（即龍船頭飯）等。隨著現代工業的發展、澳門街市擴容和新的華商組織成立，三街會館原來的功能逐漸消失，最終成為純粹廟宇——關帝廟。業產交由鏡湖醫院慈善會所管理。
會館開設之初，即設關帝像供奉。由於起初時議事場與廟宇合一，故被人直呼其為「關帝廟」。20世紀20年代後，三街會館逐漸衰微，廟宇成為了會館的主要功能。因三街會館內一直供奉關帝，遂演變為關帝古廟；除了供奉關帝外，還設有財帛星君與太歲的神位。廟內兩旁展示了多種古代的銀質武器，此為澳門其他廟宇所沒有之擺設。三街會館昔日的熱鬧景象，唯有在關帝神誕和財帛星君誕搭棚唱戲時再現。
Sam Kai Vui Kun, known also as Kuan Tai Temple, (Chinese: 三街會館) is located in front of St. Dominic’s Market Complex, near Senado Square in Sé, Macau, China.
Kuan Tai (Chinese: 關帝) is the Anglicized spelling of Guan Yu, an important general during the Three Kingdoms period in China, being now worshipped both in Taoism and Buddhism.

Senado Square has been Macau's urban centre for centuries, and is still the most popular venue for public events and celebrations today. Located close to the former Senate building, Sam Kai Vui Kun ( Kuan Tai Temple ) is also a reminder of the active participation of the local Chinese community in general civic affairs, providing a clear example of the multicultural dimension of the Macao community. The square is surrounded by pastel coloured neo-classical buildings, creating a consistent and harmonious Mediterranean atmosphere.

One of greatest values of Beijing Fahai Temple is the large murals preserved in the hall.
These murals not only retain the Buddhist tradition of painting, but also the highest model of mural painting in the Ming dynasty.
Because of this, Taian Shang was infatuated with the murals there, and copied these murals for 30 years.
