The Sze Yup Temple, also known as Glebe Temple, is a Chinese Buddhist temple located at 2 Edward Street, Glebe, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The temple was built in 1898〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sydney - Sze Yup Temple )〕 and has been used continuously since built. As one of only four pre-World War I Chinese temples that still remain active in Australia, it is recognised as site of state heritage by the New South Wales government Office of Environment and Heritage. The temple venerates Kwan Ti (''Guan Di''), a military figure of the Three Kingdoms Period. Its form, and those of the grounds, reflect the architectural style of Sze Yup County (Siyi) in Guangdong, China. The central hall (1898) holds the Kwan Ti shrine, with the later eastern and western halls (1903) serving as an ancestral hall and hall dedicated to Caishen (''Choi Buk Sing'', 財神), the god of wealth. The central temple is built of red brick in a style similar to village temples in southern China, with bullnosed roofing on the front verandah, cast iron columns, and a sign above the entrance reading "The Temple of Kwun Ti", dated the 29th year of the Guangxu Emperor. Inside is an altar with embroided images of Kwan Ti and guards, and racks holding Kwan Ti's Red Hare Horse and weapons, as well as two fine carved columns dating from 1898. In 2008, a fire described as "deliberately lit" destroyed one of its buildings. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sze Yup Temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
