Sun Laojia Ancestral Hall

Sun Laojia Ancestral Hall

The Sun Laojia Ancestral Hall is a cultural relic protection unit of Shandong Province.

The Sun Clan Ancestral Hall is located in Sun Laojia Village, Juancheng County. It was first built in the fifth year of the Jingtai era during the Ming Dynasty (1454), covering an area of over 10 mu, with a main hall consisting of five rooms, and three rooms each on the east and west sides. It was destroyed by fire during military conflict in the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty. During the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, the family ancestral hall was rebuilt — a three-room structure facing south, covering 70 square meters, built with a brick-and-wood structure, featuring an architectural form that is simple and elegant, embodying traditional ethnic style. Inside the ancestral hall, there is a shrine enshrining a statue of Sun Bin at the center, with ancestral tablets of Sun Bin’s descendants displayed on both sides. In front of the hall stands a memorial stele for the family ancestral hall, with the inscription “Preface to the Sun Clan Ancestral Hall” on the front and an overview of the Sun clan branches on the back.
