Well, the official site doesn't use a slash but it's just a Chinglish mistake. Seemed preferable to the other alternative, adding an 'and'. — $Llywelyn II$ 13:33, 16 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

May I suggest moving this name to "Qing'an Guild Hall"? That is, after all, what the Chinese article is named, and also its official name as listed in the Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level. Colipon+(Talk) 21:21, 6 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I second Colipon above. Qing'an Guild Hall seems to be the much more common name, and the one listed on the List of Major National Historical and Cultural Sites in Zhejiang. The current title is extremely unwieldy. Any thoughts LlywelynII? -Zanhe (talk) 19:07, 1 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Notice that there had been two Mazu Temples in Ningbo. The first lied in Jiangxia on the west bank of Fenghua River, which is now part of Haishu District. Known as Tianfei Gong or Ningbo Tianhou Gong (甬上天后宫) by local people and acted as Fujian Guild Hall (八闽会馆), this temple was erected by Fujiannese merchants in 1191 but destroyed in 1950s. The second temple now lies on the eastern bank of the Yong River is known as Yongdong Tianhou Gong or Eastern Ningbo Tianhou Gong (甬东天后宫) and acted as Qing'an Guild Hall (庆安会馆) or Guild Hall of the Northern Sea Merchants (北号会馆). It was erected by local merchants in 1850s as a branch of Ningbo Tianhou Gong, served as a primary school during the Cultural Revolution and reopened as the museum described in the article. So the history section of this article needs a cleanup. If you can read Chinese, this article by Ningbo local media may provide more information. - Siyuwj (talk) 01:01, 10 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
