Li Tang (hall of worship)

Li Tang (hall of worship)

The Li Tang (禮堂) is a place to perform religious rituals and to learn the teachings of Confucius. Basically the function of Wen Miao (Boen Bio) and Li Tang are the same; the only difference perhaps is the architecture.

Boen Bio (Wen Miao)

Boen Tjhiang Soe (Wen Chang Shi), which then become Boen Bio (Wen Miao), was built in 1883 and is located at Jalan Kapasan No. 131 Surabaya. The Colonial Dutch called it "Gredja Boen Bio" or "Geredja Khonghoetjoe" (de kerk van Confucius) or Confucius Church. At the present time it is a place of worship for Confucians in Surabaya, which being cultivated by MAKIN – (Majelis Agama Khonghucu), the Council of Confucianism of Indonesia in Surabaya.

Li Tang

Besides Boen Bio, Confucians in Indonesia established throughout Indonesia what they called Li Tang - Halls of Worship.
