The Li Clan Ancestral Hall in Yangxin

　　Located on the old street of Taizi Town, Yangxin County, the Li Clan Ancestral Hall was first built in the first year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty (1875). It was advocated for construction by Li Fengquan and Li Chaofan—both scholars from the Li family and candidates for county magistrate positions—and took five years to complete. The structure consists of a main hall, side rooms, and a rear courtyard, covering an area of over ten acres. It was destroyed in 1930, and the current building was reconstructed in 1936. It faces south and is rectangular in layout, occupying an area of 1,200 square meters, with a width of 20 meters and a depth of 60 meters. The building is a single-eave brick-and-wood tile structure supported by raised beams and pier-and-lintel framing, featuring a gable-and-hip roof with purlins resting on walls and a coiled dragon ridge. Inside the ancestral hall are a stage, viewing stands, two courtyards, a main hall, a rear hall, and a shrine. This ancestral hall holds significant value for the study of Qing Dynasty ancestral architecture.
