Boen Tek Bio Tangerang is the first stands among the three intensive temples in Tangerang. This temple has been doing for more than three centuries, although there is no exact data in the form of a document about when exactly the temple was located inside the Tangerang Old Market area.
The Chinese community in Petak Sembilan made this temple around the year 1684, at that time in a very simple form. Then in 1844 the temple with the discovery of the building and completeness of the temple of China. Temple Bio Tangerang Boen Tech, which is a place of worship of literary virtues, is a temple together with Boen Hay Bio Temple (stand 1694) and Boen San Bio Temple (1689).
To enter the temple, the vehicle must park on the edge of Jalan Ki Samaun, and walk 100 meters to the Old Market area. In the front area of the temple there is a statue of Bi Lek Hud, or Mi Le Fo, which in Sanskrit is called Maitreya or "The Most Compassionate and Helpful". Bi Lek Hud is one of the most striking deities, a circle in the background of Mahayana Buddhism. Device people adore Bie Lek Hud to buy wealth and happiness.
The altar contains the statue of Hok Tek Tjeng Sien (God of Earth) in the main room of Boen Tek Bio Temple in Tangerang. Gods of Earth is worshiped by traders and farmers for their trade endeavors to be blessed and advanced, as well as extensive crops. But the God of Earth only gives help to those who love to do good to others.
Above the altar of Hok Tek Tjeng Sien there are wood carvings and Chinese letters. On the ceiling there is a beautiful hanging dragon ornament, which I also found in many other temples. Wooden ornaments also decorate the walls of this temple. The wood on the ceiling of the temple is estimated to be made in early 1800. In contrast to many other temples I have ever visited, the regulation of photographing in Benteng Boen Tek Bio Tangerang when it was stiff, and impressed jumawa. Hopefully now has changed more friendly.
Decoration on hiolo on the main altar Temple Boen Tek Bio Tangerang with background statue Bie Lek Hud. Hiolo from brass made in 1805. Hiolo is an important part that is always there in every temple as a place to stick hio burn, with round or square shape and ornate dragon carving.
The existence of this place of worship can not be separated from the history of the Tionghoa in Tangerang in the 15th century. In 1407, as in the history book of Sunda Tina Layang Parahyang (Note from Parahyangan), the group of Tjen Tjie Lung (Halung) with seven family heads and nine girls, was stranded in what is now known as Teluk Naga Village. Their original purpose was to Jayakarta. At the time of their engagement with Sanghyang Anggalarang, which became part of Sanghyang Many Images of Parahyangan, supposedly the officials reigned in love with the girls. The nine girls they married. The group then got a piece of land in the area of Kampung Teluk Naga it.
The hio smoke in Boen Tek Bio Tangerang Temple waving beautifully from the end of the burning stem. The burning and smoky stalks of the hio were plugged in hiolo after being worn for prayer. The instant form that rises from the hio is said to be able to give instructions on whether or not to receive directly from the person who burned it. In the early 18th century the Chinese called Tangerang by the name of "Boen-Teng", the Chinese residing there called China Boen Teng, which gradually turned into Chinese Benteng.
More so-called kahwa at that time on the banks of the Cisadane River, near the center of Tangerang City now, once stood the Fort of Makassar. The less fortunate Chinese must stay outside the Makassar Fortress, in the area called Sewan (behind the Sepuluh Pintu Air Sepuluh Dam) and Kampung Melayu. From there then came the term Chinese Benteng, the descendants of the Chinese who inhabit the area outside the fort.
A beautiful old bell in the yard of Boen Tek Bio Temple Tangerang is said to be from China and made in 1835. On the front page there is also a statue of a guardian lion (Ciok-say). On the front yard of the temple there is also a unique place of sacrifice (Kim Lo) burning that was made in about the 19th century.
The arrival of the Chinese people in Tangerang Old Market area took place after the massacre of the Chinese people in what is now called Taman Fatahillah, in the Old Town of Jakarta. The incident took place in 1740, in an unsuccessful attempt by the Chinese against the Dutch.
