Chen Clan Ancestral Hall(Chen Jiaxuan)

M64***73

5/5

Outstanding

The architectural style of the ancestral hall is simple and elegant, and the craftsmanship of gray sculpture, wood carving, stone carving, pottery sculpture, brick carving, copper and iron casting is dazzling. When you step into the gate, the first thing that catches your eye is the exquisite wood carving. Every beam, every door and window is carved with lifelike figures, flowers, birds, and animals. They are either agile and flying, or solemn and solemn, as if telling an ancient story. The brick carvings on the wall are even more delicate and subtle. Each piece of brick and stone is carved like a beautiful scroll, showing the superb skills of ancient craftsmen. Walking in the courtyard, the sun shines through the carved doors and windows, casting mottled light and shadow. The furnishings in the ancestral hall are antique, the old tables and chairs, and the simple lamps all make people feel the rich historical atmosphere. Here, time seems to slow down, making people intoxicated by the charm of this ancient art. The Chen Family Ancestral Hall is not only a building, but also an art treasure house. It carries the essence of Lingnan culture and makes me deeply appreciate the breadth and depth of Chinese culture.
