South Street Stage

South Street Stage

The South Street Stage is located on the east side of South Street in Chengnei Village, Yancheng Town, Wucai County. Its construction date is unknown. According to inscriptions, it was renovated in the third year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1823), and the existing structure is a Qing-era building. It was once used as a school in the 1960s. The stage faces south and measures 7.5 meters in length from east to west and 6.5 meters in width from north to south, covering an area of 487.5 square meters. It has a stone base, a three-bay-wide facade, a four-rafter depth, a single-eave rolled shed roof, a six-purlin frame without an outer corridor, and decorative brackets and beams under the eaves. The interior is divided into front and rear sections, and the stage's painted ceiling features motifs such as “welcoming the prosperity” and “welcoming the prosperity of spring.” In November 2001, it was designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit by the People’s Government of Wucai County.
