Liu ancestral hall. Liu Zongci is located under the banyan tree in Lianfeng Village, Huangpi Town, xingning city City, Guangdong Province. It was built to commemorate the ancestors when he entered Guangdong in the 39th year of Kangxi (AD 1700). Later, with the joint efforts of ethnic sages in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, it took 20 years to expand into a grand ancestral hall with distinctive Hakka characteristics. Before it was built, Liu Bowen, a master of Feng Shui in Ming Dynasty, pointed out that the ancestral hall was a "golden crab swimming across the river", with Yin Zhengshan facing the upper, middle and lower halls. The descendants of ancestral temples have spread all over the world, and talented people have come forth in large numbers. After more than 300 years of vicissitudes, there are still stone and wood plaques such as General Liu Temple, Champion Temple and Aijingtang, which are the treasures of the town ancestral hall. Due to the age of the original temple, the house was in ruins. After reconstruction, General Liu's shrine is a three-hall Yi Long-style structure, with the main entrance half moon pool. The gate is all carved out of granite, and the plaques of "Liu's General Temple" and "No.1 Scholar" left over from the construction of General Temple by 1700 are hung above the gate. Its conception highlights "scholarly family". The left and right outer walls of the General Ancestral Hall are inlaid with platinum characters of "honoring ancestors" and "benefiting future generations". Below are pictures of lotus crabs (homophonic meaning of "harmony"), golden lions and auspicious elephants. The memorial tablet of Liu's ancestors is enshrined in the upper hall, and the plaque of "Aijingtang" hanging on the ancestral hall was written by ancestors more than 300 years ago, which is powerful and shows the feelings of "love and respect". The left side of the hall is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the right side is dedicated to Confucius and Guan Yunchang. The Twelve Statues of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Twelve Statues of the Western Han Dynasty were hung on the left and right walls of nave. The left and right walls of the central hall are also inlaid with golden dragon stone carvings. Paintings of "Taoyuan Jieyi" and "Visiting the Maolu" are hung on the left and right walls of the hall next door. There are 12 pairs of beautiful couplets hanging in the upper, middle and lower halls, all of which are carved in solid wood and have the meaning of couplets, decorated with brocade and pearls, which are simple and meaningful. The lintel inside the gate is carved with pictures of "Dragon and Phoenix auspicious" and "Yuanyang playing in the water". There are a pair of stone gates at the lion's mouth at the gate, on which are hung pictures such as "connecting the past with the future", "leaving the emperor to enter the phase", "classics" and "warp and weft", which are intended to inspire later generations to study hard in order to gain access to heaven, connect the past with the future and leave the emperor to enter the phase. Dragon House Flower Head, with Hakka architectural features, has been turned into a "Chinese cultural corridor" to show China's 5,000-year-old civilization. The "Corridor of Chinese Culture" is divided into five parts, namely, China Hundred Family Names, Great Man Yingzi, Hakka Origin and Liu Chunqiu five thousand years ago, with a length of 580 meters. It has rich and profound cultural connotations and embodies the broad mind of Liu people. It is a classic. The tiles of the upper, middle and lower halls are all carved with exquisite Chaoshan-style artistic patterns such as "Shuanglong Play Beads" and "Shuangfeng Play Beads". Liu Zongci is a stone structure, with blue bricks and green tiles, gilded and gorgeous, delicate and charming. Its structure combines the Hakka characteristics of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi with Chaoshan art, and it is the largest ancestral temple known at present.
There is a "Han Culture Square" covering an area of more than 20 mu in front of General Liu's Temple. The square is spacious and integrated with Liu Zongci, forming a base of Chinese culture. The stone archway at the entrance of Han Culture Square is 38.9 meters wide, 3.8 meters high and weighs about 128 tons. Magnificent, with a king's demeanor. Entering the square, the statue of Liu Banggong, the great emperor of the Han Dynasty, jumps into your eyes. Gaozu holds a sword in his left hand and holds Wang Zun high in his right hand, which is kind and dignified, just like singing "Song of the Big Wind", which is awe-inspiring. On the east side of the square (in front of the pond of Liu's General Temple), there is a sculpture of Liu's "three ancestors". Emperor Yao, one of the five emperors in the middle, is the most wise emperor; On the right is Yuan, the ninth son of Emperor Yao, the first person who accepted Liu's surname, that is, the ancestor of Liu Dashang; On the left is Liu's 18th ancestor, Lei Gong, whose name was Xia Dynasty, and he was Liu's ancestor. On the right side of the "Three Ancestors Statue" is the Sixteen Army Map, that is, Liu Gong and his son each set up their own business in Xinjiang. The whole square is spacious and magnificent.
The cultural base of Han nationality is famous far and near, attracting many tourists to visit. 20 1 1 is listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in xingning city, and it is the Xingning office of Meizhou Rooting Culture Research Association.
