Draft:Shao-ying Liang

Shao-ying Liang (1933- ) was born in Pingtung County, Taiwan. He is a traditional building, greater carpentry woodworker, and a Hakka craftsman.[1] He was registered as an essential cultural asset preservation skill preserver in greater carpentry by the Ministry of Culture in 2017.[2]

Shao-ying Liang’s father, Chin-hsiang Liang, was also a traditional greater carpentry craftsman. He started learning traditional greater carpentry at the age of 17. During the Japanese colonial period, he worked in a construction factory and continued to practice traditional architecture after World War II. He was a greater carpentry craftsman under Xu Qing’s sect, and his practice covered Taiwan and Penghu.[3] The traditional building restoration cases he has done include Guanyin Temple in Zhulinshan, Linkou District, New Taipei City[4], Cifeng Temple in Pingtung City[5], Donglong Temple in Pingtung County, Tongxiao Cihui Temple in Miaoli County, Dayuan Temple in Zhudong, Hsinchu County, Zhutang Cihang Temple in Changhua County[6], Checheng Fu'an Temple in Pingtung County, etc.[7]

Shao-ying Liang learned from his father, Chin-hsiang Liang, a famous great carpentry master from the sect in the mid-Japanese colonial period, including Jin-Wan Yeh and Chin Hsu. Shao-ying Liang specialized in carpentry work,  joinery work, and wood carving skills. With the changes in construction materials and technology, he delved into the knowledge of wooden and reinforced concrete structure construction methods. He made a career transition from a temple engineering master to becoming a design supervisor. He began to learn computer graphics after the age of 65.[8]
