Liang Clan Ancestral Hall in Yangxin

　　The Liang Clan Ancestral Hall is situated in Huangtang Village, Baisha Town, Yangxin County. Constructed in the 37th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1700), it was subsequently expanded and finalized in the 23rd year of the Guangxu reign (1898) to its present form. Facing south and built against the terrain, its successive halls rise incrementally from front to back. The structure is roughly rectangular, measuring 45 meters in width and 55 meters in depth, with a mixed brick-and-wood construction, featuring a flush-gable roof covered with gray tiles and a hybrid post-and-lintel and dougong (bracket arm) framing system. The architectural design reflects strong elements of the feudal clan system in terms of concept, site selection, and layout, making it an important physical resource for studying the clan systems of southeastern Hubei.
