Memorial Hall of Clan Yuan
  Era: Qing Dynasty

  Address: Zhong Village, Changxi Township, She County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province

  This ancestral hall was built during the Qing Dynasty. It has three courtyards and three bays, with an entrance hall in the style of a five-phoenix roof and tall stone drum-shaped gate piers. The central hall’s beam frame spans the full width of the bay, creating an open and majestic feel. The rear hall’s courtyard includes a fire prevention well. A unique incense window is set into the floor of the rear hall’s upper level. The gate structure is wooden, with four pillars and three bays across three stories, measuring 9.3 meters wide and 8 meters high. It is flanked by side walls, and the four wooden pillars are supported by backrest stones. Elements such as crescent beams, beam frames, and bracket sets are present, along with high eaves, multiple ridges, upturned corners, and red-painted carved floral panels on the door lintels. In 2004, it was designated as a cultural heritage site under Anhui Provincial protection.

The Memorial Hall of Clan Yuan is a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
