Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

The She Ancestral Hall faces west and was originally designed with three courtyards, but the first courtyard was demolished during the Cultural Revolution. Currently, the second and third courtyards remain well-preserved. The second courtyard, in particular, features exquisite architecture and an imposing presence. Its beams and pillars are adorned with intricate openwork carvings, bas-reliefs, and colorful paintings of figures, flowers, animals, scrolling vines, and auspicious clouds. The craftsmanship is delicate and lifelike. This ancestral hall is a representative fusion of Huizhou architectural culture and northern Anhui architectural styles, offering valuable physical evidence for the study of cultural integration between the north and south during this period. It is now a provincial-level cultural heritage site.
