Abstract

The Sam Poo Kong Temple is a worship place as well as a tourist attraction with a Chinese style building. Almost all the parts of their building are red, and there are also Hanzi (Chinese characters) written on the pillars and the walls of the temple. The writings are written in large letters, and this attracts the attention of the tourists. Furthermore, the meaning of the Chinese characters is also interesting to know. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning of the Chinese characters that are found at the Sam Poo Kong temple. The research method in this study is qualitative and uses a descriptive method to describe the analysis of research data. In this study, the researchers used semantic theory, which is used to analyze symbols or signs that state the meaning or relation of one meaning to another. Based on the observations in this study, the Chinese characters describe a lot of long histories since they are read from left to right and using traditional Chinese characters. The meaning of the Chinese characters that are found at Sam Poo Kong Temple are all things related to the history of the Sam Poo Kong Temple and Admiral Cheng Ho.
