Yongchu Ancestral Hall

Yongchu Ancestral Hall is a cultural tourism attraction.

Yongchu Ancestral Hall is located in Nantang Village, Jiangwei Town, Wengyuan County. Its original construction date is unknown, but it was rebuilt in the 51st year of the Kangxi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1712) and renovated in the 16th year of the Daoguang reign (1836). Covering an area of 609 square meters, it is a five-courtyard quadrangle structure with a flush-gable roof, covered by yin-yang tiles, and features a combination of through-tenon and post-and-lintel beam frameworks. The main entrance features a stone plaque engraved with the three characters “Chang’an Wei” (长安围). The second courtyard has a threshold at the front and a screen wall at the back. Beyond the second courtyard, there is a courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, flanked by 4-meter-high screen walls on both sides. The third and fourth courtyards are largely similar in structure to the second. At the center of the rear wall of the fifth courtyard stands a ancestral tablet shrine inscribed with the four characters “Yongchu Gong Ci” (永初公祠).
