Ancestral temples have existed since ancient times in China. Take the Chenjia Temple in Guangdong for example. A brief history of Lingnan ancestral temple culture tells how many Cantonese people are proud for a hundred years. Chenjiaci BY Qingsong-Cultural ancestral temple-If we don&;t keep our own cultur—— Yu Lin Shang (the world&;s first restorer of Chaoshan Ancestral Temple who won the United Nations Award) &”;Taigong called you to share the pork ~&”;, whenever this voice sounded, it was probably time for the whole village to get together at the ancestral temple again. Usually, after the Spring and Autumn Festival (or Winter Festival), in front of the ancestral hall in Guangfu area, the pork will be distributed to each household by the patriarch or the person who is valued by the village Nedergard, indicating that the blessing and shelter have been brought to each household by the ancestors. Pork sharing is an important event in the village. Even the men who have moved out of the village will return to the village as much as possible to participate. Too cm pork BY most people in the online clan can&;t tell when this conventional &”;pork sharing&”; came into being, just like when they are asked why they attach so much importance to the things in the clan ancestral hall, they will all have a similar answer: &”;There is no reason, this is our root.&”; It seems that ancestral temple culture has penetrated into the bone marrow of every Lingnan clan and become a part of life. ///////The history of Lingnan ancestral hall ancestral hall is a term born on the function of offering sacrifices. Since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been complicated and strict regulations on the anc《礼记·祭法》. In the feudal society with strict hierarchy, it was a symbol of status class at the beginning of its birth, and only emperors and bureaucrats were qualified to make clan sacrifices. Although in the early Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi, Zhang Zai and others put forward the idea of rebuilding the clan system for new consolidation and stability. However, for Lingnan area, the ancestral hall was really established on a large scal《家礼》 Book Shadow BY Network During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains gradually relaxed the identity and organizational system for the establishment of ancestral temples by the people. As a result, with the economic development, many Lingnan people who &”;learn to be an official&”; began to dabble in political status. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the first peak of the construction of Lingnan ancestral temple was triggered BY the &”;big ceremony&”; in Jiajing period, based on the abundant commercial economy and the continuous promotion of clan system: the Weishi ancestral hall in Lijiao village BY the Xiabai ancestral hall in Foshan at the head of Baixi village BY Guangdong Huanghanguang, and the Moshi ancestral hall in Mayong, Dongguan by beautiful Mayong. However, this upsurge did not last long. At the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the people changed and the people were miserable. In the early Qing Dynasty, the &”;order to move to the sea&”; caused the Lingnan economy, which was born with the back mountain facing the sea, to be hit hard, and the construction of ancestral temples fell into a trough. It&;s just that history is always similar. After the situation was stable in the middle of Kangxi, the demand for reorganizing clans began to be mentioned on the table again. The Qing Dynasty began to adopt a series of policies to appease the people and integrate the local society. Therefore, the construction of ancestral halls or grand ancestral halls became the main form of a small number of ancestral halls in the early Qing Dynasty: the Luoshi Ancestral Hall in Liangxi, Pengjiang, BY the night spirit, Shunde Beijiao, Yang&;s Grand Ancestral Hall, BY Hui ge, from spring to mid-Qing Dynasty,The implementation of Guangzhou&;s one-port trade policy in Qing Dynasty hindered the social development process in the whole country, but Guangdong benefited from it, and the economy prospered rapidly, accumulating a large number of clan property, and ushered in the second peak of ancestral temple construction: the ancestral temple in Rantou Village, Huadu, tanbu town, BY the female shadow, Panyu, daling village, BY the ancient ancestral temple, the more turbulent the society, the more it restricted the construction of Lingnan ancestral temple. During the 1990 s and the Anti-Japanese War, new ancestral halls were rarely built, while ancestral halls built in the past often became specific places for the war of resistance and relief, shouldering every small part of national independence. Nowadays, the ancestral hall has gradually faded away from the cloak of offering sacrifices to ancestors, and it has become a center of clan activities, folk festivals, weddings and funerals, village discussions, etc., but all activities that are meaningful to the clan will be held in the ancestral hall: the winter sacrifice of Huang&;s Grand Ancestral Hall in Pingdi, Foshan is BY Beijing time, and because &”;filial piety and education&”; are still adhered to by the Chinese national tradition, the ancestral hall will also be evolved into a cultural, educational and entertainment center. In particular, ancestral temples are regarded as an important farm bookstore and genealogy repair place: Chen Academy (Chen Family Temple) BY network//////The ancestral temple system under the three major ethnic groups of Lingnan. Although the main functions of many ancestral temples in China are mostly the same, the ancestral temple system born under the influence of different local conditions and customs in different parts of the country is slightly different. The same is true for ancestral temples in Lingnan area. As we all know, there are three major ethnic cultures in Lingnan area: Guangfu, Hakka and Chaoshan. They all came with the immigrants from the north, and finally merged with the Guyue people. The migration of northerners to the south brought not only advanced production technology, but also Confucian thought that was &”;exclusive&”; as early as Han Dynasty. The &”;filial piety and education&”; behind the establishment of Lingnan ancestral temple is the product of Confucian culture. In terms of the main functions and implications of ancestral temples, the three major ethnic groups in Lingnan area coincide. They all regard ancestor worship as the main function of ancestral halls, and in the aesthetic aspect of architectural technology, they are carved with elements that imply beauty, happiness and auspiciousness. The oyster shell house of Baoan Grand Ancestral Hall BY Shenzhen News Network also tends to meet the requirements of excellent geomantic omen, such as &”;facing the water with the back of the mountain&”;, &”;facing the south&”; and &”;symmetrical left and right&”;. shuidong village, located in Yaogu Town, Yuncheng District, Yunfu City, is a typical Lingnan ancestral hall. All the villagers in shuidong village take Cheng as their surname, and the ancestor is Cheng Hao, one of the Northern Song Neo-Confucianists who pioneered Luo Xue and Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism. There are many ancestral halls in the village, among which the well-preserved Cheng&;s Grand Ancestral Hall, which was built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, is the largest ancestral hall in shuidong village and even Yunfu City, covering an area of 1,200 square meters. The whole ancestral hall is a binary structure, with high beams and large columns, magnificent momentum, and the pillars and beams are all finely carved flowers, birds and beasts. Shuidong village BY Network in Yuncheng District However, in the historical evolution, the ancestral halls of the three major ethnic groups are scrambling to show different styles. For the Hakkas, as guests, they once lived among the mountains, so they could only build dragon houses and earth buildings to resist the intrusion of outsiders. Therefore, the ancestral temple of Hakka people is often in the center of the whole house and blends with it.Together. And once faced with the shortage of means of production, the decoration of Hakka ancestral halls was mostly unpretentious and solemn. Most of the plaques in the hall are named after tracing the ancestral home: the ancestral hall sits in the northwest to the southeast, with two sides of blue bricks hanging on the mountain, covered with gray tiles, 3 wells, 1 backyard and 4 columns in the front hall, which means &”;peace in all seasons&”;; Eight-figure caisson is built on the top of the middle hall; There are 22 columns in the back hall, which show &”;heavenly dryness&”;, meaning harmony between heaven and earth. Shaoguan Donghu Ping Village BY City Discovery Shaoguan Donghu Ping Zeng&;s Ancestral Temple BY Happy Caicai Compared with Hakka Ancestral Temple, Guangfu Ancestral Temple and Chaoshan Ancestral Temple are also located in the center of the village, but they are outside the independent houses, and most of them are located in the first row of houses near the pond. However, the appearance of Guangfu Ancestral Temple is more lively and relaxed, with strong colors and colorful decorations. Some carvings are deeply influenced by Foshan ceramic technology: Chenjia Ancestral Temple, which is located in Zhongshan No.7 Road, Guangzhou, is one of them. Chen Academy is the largest, luxuriantly decorated and well-preserved traditional Lingnan ancestral hall building in Guangdong, covering an area of 15,000 square meters, with a main building area of 6,400 square meters, consisting of 19 single buildings. The distribution of Chenjia Temple BY Qingsong Chenjia Temple BY Qingsong and Chaoshan Ancestral Temple is far from that of Guangfu Ancestral Temple. The Chaoshan area is less in land and offshore, and it is more heavily influenced BY marine culture, reaching as far as the four corners. The Chaoshan people who dare to travel have also set up their own unique clan ancestral temples in different areas: the Hanjiang Family Temple built in Penang, Malaysia, has properly answered the proposition that &”;the Chaoshan Ancestral Temple is widely distributed&”;: the night view of the Hanjiang Family Temple in Penang, Malaysia won the &”;Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Protection Award&”; BY the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. If you really want to ask the modern Lingnan people &”;What is the ancestral temple?&”;, most people&;s reaction is still a place where their own people worship their ancestors and sages. However, with the development of society, ancestral halls have already been integrated with other symbolic meanings. For our people, the present Lingnan ancestral temple is more like a bond, which will closely link our people together, take them to recall the rise and fall of the family, inherit the cultural precipitation of the past, and let them look forward to the future together. Looking for ancient villages in Yunfu shuidong village BY has become a business card for the whole Lingnan area. You can shout &”;This is Lingnan!&”; in front of Lingnan Ancestral Temple. You can also regard it as the village symbol of beautiful countryside in Lingnan, where &”;people must belong to their families, families must have villages, and villages must have shrines&”;. As far as the whole country is concerned, Lingnan ancestral temple is a kind of cultural inheritance and self-confidence in the wave of inheriting &”;ancestral temple culture&”; and building &”;cultural ancestral temple&”;. In recent years, the protection and utilization of Lingnan ancestral temple has been paid attention to. Some well-preserved ancestral temple buildings have been included in the protection scope of cultural relics, historical buildings or historical blocks and ancient villages, with certain financial support. I have also accumulated some experience in the utilization of ancestral temples. Such as transforming the traditional ancestral temple into a celebrity memorial hall, or as a cultural activity center, library, activity center for the elderly, and as a complex of multiple functions.《广东文化遗产·祠堂卷》 has also made new progress in ancestral temple construction. For example, the Guangdong Provincial Civilization Office plans to build 1,500 cultural ancestral halls in the province by 2020; Guangdong Provincial Department of Cultur《广东文化遗产·祠堂卷》 and others. However, there are still some shortcomings. For example, the planning is relatively backward, the authenticity protection of ancestral temple buildings is weak, the activation and utilization of ancestral temple is still relatively simple, and the research on the history and culture of Lingnan ancestral temple needs to be deepened. At present, it holds that &”;we should pay attention to the inheritance of civilization and the continuation of culture, so that the city can leave memories and people can remember homesickness.&”; With this concept, Yousheng Culture will be the partner of the professional committee of the cultural ancestral hall, and on the basis of planning first, it will give full play to the cultural function of the ancestral hall, enhance its educational and tourism functions, make great efforts to form its own characteristics and brand in the aspects of its construction style, exhibition content, activity style, mode and mechanism, and strive to achieve the goal of &”;one village with one characteristic, one hall with one brand&”;, activate and utilize the ancestral hall, and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of the ancestral hall culture.
