This paper explores the ideological content behind the symbol of the ''Zhongshan Hall'' based on traditional constructivism. It examines how the Kuomintang (KMT) regime, from 1959 to 1975, continued the ''quasi-Leninist party'' system established since the mid-1920s by spatially representing Sun Yat-sen's symbolic assets. Ritual spaces were transformed into church-like buildings, incorporating the concept of a religious parish and hierarchical structure. This projection extended from the Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum, the highest beacon of national spirit, to Zhongshan Halls across China, including the ''Zhongshan Hall'' and the ''Chinese Culture Hall,'' as well as other newly built or repurposed Zhongshan Halls from the Japanese colonial period. The research also traces the symbolic meaning of the ''Zhongshan Hall'' as it relates to the Temple of Heaven, originating from the late Qing constitutional era, gradually merging with the American Capitol's republican symbolism and Sun Yat-Sen's sacrificial legacy. This presents a unique perspective combining radical revolution with universal kingship. After the KMT moved to Taiwan, the concept of the Ming Tang was reinforced by the Chinese Cultural Renaissance Movement, endowing the regime's leaders with dual roles as national spiritual shepherds and kingship figures, thus implementing authoritarian rule. Therefore, while the ''Zhongshan Hall'' was perceived as the ''Celestial City of the Sanctified Dictator,'' the American republican imagery remained superficial. |
