Du Family Ancestral Hall

　　Located in Nongke Village, Moudao Town, Lichuan City, this is a Qing Dynasty–era structure built during the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty. It has a courtyard layout and is built with brick and wood. The building features flush-gable tiled roofs, with a front hall and rear hall that are three bays wide on the outside but five bays wide inside, and side wing rooms arranged in three rows of two rooms each. The overall structure spans 28.36 meters in width and 22.51 meters in depth, covering a site area of 550 square meters and a built-up area of 800 square meters. The stage in the front hall is connected to the decorative pavilions on both sides via corridors, featuring richly carved balustrades and window latticework. The main hall consists of three spacious and lofty bays, with elaborately carved beam brackets and column bases. This ancestral hall is one of the few surviving such structures in Lichuan, notable for its large scale and high cultural value.
