Ding Family Ancestral Hall

Located east of Hu's Ancestral Hall, the Ding Family Ancestral Hall was built by the Ding clan of Longchuan. According to local lore, the village is shaped like a boat — and since "Hu" sounds like "float," the Ding family (whose name sounds like "nail") were invited to settle here to anchor the boat. This is how the Ding family took root in Longchuan.

Attraction Overview

A special temple dedicated to the Hu clan, who have been abandoned by the Hu clan for war, plague, and other reasons.As mentioned earlier, the card slot was worshipped until the generation of the great-grandchildren. If there were no descendants, no one would offer the card for worship, which is called "no sacrifice to the lonely soul".In order to sympathize with these clansmen, the ancestral hall built this special temple, which was responsible for placing the plaque and the whole family attached the sacrifice.

__ HTMLTAG2 __ The special temple of Hu's ancestral temple is the Ding family temple, the door of the temple is higher than the Hu temple, and the eaves are low, which is said to be "rising and falling in the light".The plaque above the ancestral hall, "Light of the State Family", refers to the state of Anbang and strives for the glory of the country. Here, its homonym can be quoted as the meaning of helping the Hu family to strive for glory.
