The villagers also like to hold banquets in the ancestral hall to entertain guests as their wedding birthday gifts; An old man died at home, and he borrowed the ancestral hall to arrange meals. The most lively time in the ancestral hall is the big sacrifice and the "Ding Table". Every year, during the winter festival and the "Ding Table" in the first month, the ancestral hall is full, whether it is sunny or rainy. After the ceremony, the pork and sacrifices for sacrifice were distributed equally to all households. As for the "Tianding" in the year, they went to the ancestral hall to make a banquet and invited the boss and the people. Eight people sat around a square table, drinking and talking about things. The younger generation respects the elders, and the younger generation respects the elders, and the blessings continue. The whole hall is full of excitement and enthusiasm. If people who are usually in conflict and angry touch glasses, they will put their grievances behind them and make up again. This custom is still followed in some villages today.
In addition, some ancestral temples are built to commemorate someone, out of an act of gratitude. The "filial piety hall" in Houxi Village, Longdu is the best example. More than 500 years ago, a girl named Jin Duanjie walked out of the village. In her 30 s, she vowed "Zhen Lie would rather die than surrender." As an "unmarried woman", under the social environment of "attaching importance to agriculture and restraining business" and "attaching importance to righteousness and neglecting profit", she bravely set up her own home, learned how to make wine, run restaurants, open businesses and sell wine to buy grain, so that production and sales entered a virtuous circle. After she developed, she did not follow the general law of "abandoning soil to do business" at that time. Instead, with the capital accumulated by business, I bought more than 100 mu of land, expanded reproduction, and my career was in full swing. The girl left a rich family wealth and spiritual wealth behind her, and all her grandchildren regarded her as their ancestors, and they were honored as "ancestral girls" from generation to generation. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the son Sun He built the "Double Sword" ancestral hall, and the door was engraved with the "Golden Ancestral Hall", in which the god of "not marrying an aunt" was enshrined. The name "filial piety" means that we will never forget the virtue of our ancestors' diligence and hard work. This touching story is widely sung in Chenghai.
Nowadays, many rural ancestral halls have been renovated and given new meaning: some stories with positive educational significance in families are hung on the walls for future generations to read, and the village red and white council, the road and bridge construction council and the new rural construction council all meet in the ancestral halls to discuss the plan of building a harmonious and beautiful home and make the ancient ancestral halls more attractive.
