The Lushu Mo Ancestral Hall

　　The Lushu Mo Ancestral Hall is located in Luohong Village, Yuexing Town, and was constructed in the 13th year of the Qianlong reign during the Qing Dynasty (1748). In 2012, it was declared a cultural relic protection site by the People’s Government of Deqing County. Constructed with a combination of brick, wood, and stone, it has a total width of 10.5 meters, a depth of 31.5 meters, and covers a floor area of 328.65 square meters. The ancestral hall has three sections and three bays, with the front gate spanning three bays in both width and depth, featuring a dragon boat-style ridge, a four-bay-deep front corridor, stone eave columns, and stone column bases with tiered waisted designs. The stone lintel above the gate is inscribed in relief with “Lushu Mo Ancestral Hall” and, in intaglio, “The 13th Year of Qianlong, 1748, Winter, Auspicious Day.” The top of the lintel bears an oval seal inscribed in intaglio with “May This Lineage Last for a Hundred Generations,” while the bottom features two square seals, inscribed respectively with “Poetry and Rites” and “Family Heritage” in intaglio. The beam framework includes small melon-shaped pillarlets. The central hall has been damaged. The rear hall is three bays wide and two bays deep with seventeen roof trusses, featuring a classic decorative ridge, gable-and-hip roof with a “人” character design, stone eave columns, and stone column bases with tiered waisted forms. The murals on the gable walls depict historical figures and stories with fine craftsmanship. The ridge decorations include gray plaster carvings of kui-dragon motifs, pine trees, and animals, all vivid and expressive. This ancestral hall is notable for its large scale, intact layout, and distinctive Lingnan architectural artistry, making it highly valuable for the study of architectural craftsmanship during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
