Shixi Village Liu Clan Ancestral Hall

The Liu Clan Ancestral Hall in Shixi Village is a cultural relic protection unit of Tianhe District.

The Liu Clan Ancestral Hall in Shixi Village dates back to the 10th year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1830), and is located at No. 8, Tianlu Street, Shixi, Qianjin Village, Qianjin Subdistrict. Constructed in 1830, it has undergone renovations over the years. The hall faces northwest and is situated southeast, featuring a three-bay, two-courtyard layout covering an area of 133.6 square meters. It has a flush-gable roof covered with gray tube tiles, and granite stone bases. On the left corridor wall of the courtyard is embedded a black inkstone stele from 1924 inscribed with the “Record of the Reconstruction of the Ancestral Hall by Xuecheng Hall.” The murals under the eaves, carved patterns on the beams, gray sculptures on the main ridge, and brick carvings on the chamfered corners all hold certain artistic value. The beam frame of the main entrance’s embracing beam is somewhat unique in design, using an entirely carved antique-style beam frame instead of a traditional dougong (bracket) structure.
