For the Chinese nation, sacrifice has been a national event since ancient times, and for the common people, it is also a major event to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. There are more than 100 ancestral halls at the foot of Huishan Mountain, which are the gathering places of many surnames. Ancestor worship, root-seeking, and ancestor worship have become enduring stories here, and Zhijie is still the exchange service center for root-seeking and ancestor worship.
Ancestral Temple is a sacred hall where China people worship their ancestors or ancient sages, and it is the most common ancestral home in family ancestral temple. Ancestral temples serving ancestors have the power to unite family ties. In the past, people with the same surname usually lived together with their families for the needs of production and life, and the center of their residence was often the ancestral temple serving the paternal ancestors.
However, there are two unique places in ancestral hall county, Huishan ancient town. First, the architectural styles are mixed, mainly in Jiangnan folk houses, including Huizhou style and Minnan architectural style. Second, the ancestral hall was separated from the patrilineal family gathering place and gathered outside the ancient city.
The vague records of ancestral temples began in Changzhou era, but in the long middle ages, folk investigations were strictly prohibited and became the exclusive privilege of imperial nobles. Even in the enlightened Tang Dynasty, there were clear legal provisions on ancestor worship. The "Kaiyuan Order" promulgated by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty clearly pointed out that the emperor could build vacancies according to his official position, sacrifice five generations of ancestors and so on. Officials and people under five grades have no right to build temples. At best, they can only supply Zupai in the bedroom.
However, in Huishan ancient town, there is an ancestral temple illegally built by the Tang Emperor for civilians. It is one of the oldest ancestral temples in Huishan ancient town and Jiangnan area. Fengyangzi was an ordinary person named Huabao in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
