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.
