Ancestral Temples
Ancestral Temple, where the sacrificial tablets of ancestors were enshrined, can be easily found throughout the She County. The earliest ones can be traced back to the Ming and Qing Dynasty. Temples were usually set up along hillsides. A temple complex ascending gradually along the slope often has several Jin and each Jin, like the courtyards in Beijing's hutong, is a rectangular compound with one-story houses squarely facing the cardinal points and a courtyard in middle. "Men Ting" - a vestibular structure usually adopts the structure of the "Wufeng Ting", which was decorated with flying cornices and threefold overlap, resembling five phoenixes spreading their wings for flight, hence the name. Decorative engravings on the eaves and lintels employ simple and elegant colors. The main hall, which comes finally, is where the tablets were enshrined. A visit to an ancestral temple gives you insight into China's feudal ethical codes and social norms in the Qing period. Wushi Zongci (The Ancestral Temple of Wu's) and temple in Tangyue have been opened to visitors. The Ancestral Temple of Wu's: The Ancestal Temple of Wu's is a must for visitors. Finely engraved bluestone parapets lure most visitors. One depicts the charming natural scenery of the West Lake in Hangzhou, the other called "Bailu Tu"(Picture of Deers), presents herds of deer. A fancy engraving which presents a herd of galloping horses in different styles also can be seen there.
