The Mo Ancestral Hall

The Mo Ancestral Hall is situated 20 meters east of the Tusi Government Office, spanning an area of 1,470 square meters. It was initially constructed in the 18th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1753), but was later destroyed during wartime. It was rebuilt in the 27th year of the Daoguang reign (1847). The hall is divided into three sections: front, middle, and rear. In front of the entrance courtyard stands a large screen wall, flanked by side rooms. The lintels above the doors are adorned with bas-reliefs featuring the inscriptions “Enduring Lineage for a Hundred Generations” and “Unity Across All States.” Passing through the side rooms leads to a spacious courtyard. The first section houses the main gate; the second section is the main hall, with guest rooms on both sides, featuring intricately crafted, exquisitely decorated gilded lattice windows in the front and back; the third section enshrines the memorial tablets of generations of the Mo ancestors. The overall architecture of the ancestral hall is symmetrically harmonious with the government office, showcasing a unique style of traditional Chinese architectural art. In 1963, the People's Government of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region designated the Mo Ancestral Hall as a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
