Er Dan is also a boy from the south. Here, if there are wanderers who have been far away from home and developed abroad before, and want to find their roots and ask their ancestors, they will go to the local ancestral temple to check the genealogy and see if they can find the names familiar to their ancestors.
In addition to offering sacrifices to ancestors, ancestral temples in the south will also leave some ancestral teachings in the ancestral halls to persuade and teach the younger generation a correct world outlook and attitude towards life. In the early years, the legal system was not perfect and the concept of clan was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In some places, ancestral temples will privately formulate some rules and punishment measures to punish those who violate family rules.
But now it's New China. This concept is gone forever, and the legal system has already penetrated into our hearts. The significance of the existence of ancestral temple is more to make the wanderers miss their hometown and let the people have a sense of belonging and know that this is their home.
Almost every ancestral temple wall or genealogy will record the family style and family instructions left by ancestors, and these contents are absolutely positive, teaching everyone a positive side.
Under what circumstances can't you build a ancestral temple?
We are now a society ruled by law. Even if the ancestral temple is built, it should be built on the basis of obeying the law. Don't tear down the ancestral hall and rebuild it just because the village is rich and feels not atmospheric enough. Some rural areas will build ancestral temples on the original farmland, but this is something that the state explicitly prohibits, even if it is to build ancestral temples.
Therefore, ancestral halls should be built on the original basis or approved by relevant departments. Nowadays, the so-called reconstruction of ancestral temples in many places has simply become a means of making money. Is this respect for ancestors? In the past, being executed was enough.
Erdan also saw some netizens questioning the construction of the ancestral temple in his hometown. As the saying goes, people don't know, unless you have to, if you make money in the name of building a ancestral temple, then everyone is not a fool. Your materials, your labor and all your expenses can be included. If someone builds an ancestral temple in this name, it is naturally not allowed.
By the way, the ancestral temple represents the record of important talents in the history of all ethnic groups in China. They have made contributions to the consolidation and construction of the country, invented reforms and made progress! In order to record and commemorate the ancestral hall, later generations specially built it. There are genealogies, branches and generations in the ancestral hall. Should we avoid them? Five clothes? Incest marriage within three generations should be avoided, and the inheritance of unhealthy diseases and infectious diseases should be avoided.
