After appreciating some musical instruments, I went to the Sanren Hall. It is said that the Memorial Hall of the birthplace of Guangdong music-"Sanren Hall" is located at No. 7 Anning West Street, Beicun. It was built during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. There are exquisite gray sculptures in front of the house. This is also the Guangdong Music Memorial Hall. It lasted for a hundred years from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.

Sanren Hall has become a gathering place for elites in Guangdong's music and folk arts circles, and has become the concert hall in Shawan, the birthplace of Guangdong music. Guangdong music celebrities He Bozhong, He Liutang, He Yunian, He Shaoxia, etc. in Shawan use Sanren Hall to often invite Jiyi people and music lovers inside and outside the province to perform, discuss and create Guangdong music. It was during this period that a large number of famous Cantonese music songs such as "Rain hits the plantains" and "Sowing Dragons Seizes the Brocade" were released.

Shawan North Village is located to the north of the center of Shawan Town and south of Qingluo Road. It covers an area of about 2.4 square kilometers and has 13 villager groups with a total population of more than 1760. Shawan North Village has more than 800 years of history and culture, with an exquisite layout of ancient streets and alleys.

All streets and alleys are paved with granite slabs. There are ancient architectural complexes such as "Liugentang","Guangyu Hall" and "Chebei Street", which can be regarded as representatives of ancient buildings in Lingnan. Xiangxian Middle School, located north of the center of Beicun, has a history of nearly a hundred years.

There is an extremely old poplar tree in Sanren Hall, and the ancient houses in Liangjin are well preserved. I went to visit Sanbao Xuan and sold some exquisite handicrafts. The Jinshi Lane was also paved with stones, and Sanda Lane had a large flow of people.

The Zhennan Temple in Jinweili is located at No. 20 Anning West Street in Shawan Ancient Town. It was originally the ancestral temple of the He family (one of the branches). At present, the ancestral hall has been transformed into Huangyou Town Yabai Art Museum.

The museum is based on the original site of Zhennan Temple, built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has an exquisite brick, wood and stone pattern with three entrances and two courtyards. The museum conforms to the heritage atmosphere of Shawan's ancient architecture and displays many wood carving works by the famous contemporary artist Huang Youzhen.

There is a couplet in front of the Anbai Art Museum in Huangyou Town. The first couplet: The fragrance of cypress is filled with butterflies dreaming of the pipa string. The second couplet: Friendship flies on the bottom of the peach blossom fan and in front of the swallow lamp.

Huang Youzhen is a native of Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. He was born in 1966 and graduated from Guangdong Province Ceramics School in 1988, majoring in sculpture. He is currently the executive deputy director, associate professor and animation director of the Guangdong University Education Alliance. Arts and crafts artist from Guangdong Province.

Academic leader in animation in Guangdong Province. He has served as a judge for the national and provincial Yabai Art Exhibition. Founder of the Animation Department of Guangdong Vocational College of Literature and Art.

Founder of the Animation Department of Chaozhou Normal Branch of Hanshan Normal University. The founder of Guangdong's "Baiyoutang" Yabai Root Carving art. Founder of "Huangyou Town Yabai Art Museum" in Guangdong.

Carving, in this way, turns decadent into a magical art, withered trees bloom in spring, and its roots are restored to life. Life flows under the carving knife in the hand of the root carver. Artist Professor Huang Youzhen, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city,

Living in seclusion in the quiet and tranquil ancient town of Shawan, with the art of cypress in my heart, like a wild crane in the idle clouds, cultivate my character and devote myself to creation. The combination of life and art,

It was Huang Youzhen's original foothold in the creation of Yabai root carving. He often traveled thousands of miles to the Daba Mountain, Taihang Mountain and other cliff producing areas, spending more time and energy than ordinary people looking for high-quality raw materials in the mountains, and often climbed high mountains and cliffs just for a top-level cliff. Through hard thinking like an ascetic craftsman, we conceive the layout, use the knife to carve, and be meticulous, and wisdom can be seen through the essence.

His works refuse to be rigid, but hope to become spiritual objects that infect and communicate with others. He pursues the unique characteristics of each work, which contains the author's decades of life experience and cultural heritage.

For more than 30 years, Huang Youzhen has been engaged in the creativity, design, director, and producer of anime paintings, and loves clay sculpture, wood carving, and traditional Chinese painting creation. After long-term artistic exploration and precipitation, a unique romantic and exaggerated creative style has been formed, and each of its works demonstrates the agile and vivid spirit of surrealism.

The gray sculpture of the hanging ridge lion in Zhennan Temple, the carved lion of Xiagongliang, the special-shaped Dougong, the queti and the brick carvings of Chitou are all preserved. There were two stone drums at the door. I walked into the museum for a walk, and a beautiful woman tried to turn on the stereo, but the website was faulty. Then I saw her making tea. I was the only tourist in the museum. I saw that in addition to sculptures, there were also a large number of green plants in the museum, indicating that the owner was a person with many emotions.

I walked around in front of Yucai Primary School and saw a huge ancient tree. Yucai Primary School in Shawanxi Village was founded in 1946. It is an advanced unit in education and scientific research in the town. It is one of the leap-forward experimental schools for innovative education of Beijing Normal University. It has good school spirit, high quality, characteristics and enjoys a reputation in the district and town. The school currently has 12 teaching classes with 595 students. The school covers an area of 6900 square meters and has a building area of 4638 square meters.

I saw a villa on the right side of Yucai Primary School, and there was actually a stall selling Spring Festival couplets next to the square. I saw [Emperor's Ancient Architecture Encyclopedia] No. 31608: There was also a stall in front of the He Gong Temple in Rushan, and several elderly people were chatting.

Recently, Shawan Ancient Town innovatively activated and utilized Rushan He Gong Temple to build a New Era Civilized Practice Station in Shawan Ancient Town. This old ancestral hall has since been "completely new", from an "empty house" to a "popular museum". The concept of "group construction culture" has built this place into a "one-stop" group construction service place, which has served more than 35,000 people.

From the modern city center to the ancient town that has been "old" for hundreds of years, cultural sites have gained new roles in the new era. The constantly improving modern public cultural service system covers urban and rural areas, allowing rich history to be preserved and innovative culture to be spread. Inclusive and a hundred flowers bloom. Shawan is promoting the comprehensive strength of urban culture to new heights by using cultural people and culture to shape the city, building an example of a culturally strong village, continuously improving the height of an ancient civilized town, and striving to create a model of ancient villages and towns with rich culture.

Rushan He Gong Temple has just undergone major repairs. On its left side is Kengwei Zhi Street, with red gauze rock on the exterior wall. I walked into another alley and saw more old houses and civilized households. I quickly got lost. This Shawan Ancient Town is actually very large. There are some well-preserved ancestral halls on Luoshanli Street.

Luoyin Lane is quieter. There is a family with firecrackers planted on the outer wall of Yuelong Lane. I walked to Fuxiang Lane and found some dilapidated old houses. After walking for a while, I met a young couple and a young woman with my son. Playing, I walked into Guan Lane and met two young girls. The terrain was very high and there was a farming and living museum next to it.

Shawan Ancient Town is also a place with a strong cultural atmosphere. There is a three-story hexagonal tower in Shawan Ancient Town, but it has the status of a "Confucian Temple" locally and is a must-visit place for students to visit Shawan Ancient Town.

It is also the most popular attraction in the area. Under this three-story ancient tower is a small square with flower ponds and stone platforms on the square. Each small corner is particularly exquisite in design. Walking up the stone steps, the granite fences around the tower are covered with red ribbons with names of the praying list, fluttering in the wind. Each red ribbon has a student's wish written on it.

Wenfeng Tower is located at the junction of Beiguanxiang and Buyunli. It is also known as Wenchang Pavilion and Wenkui Tower. It was built in the 60th year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1721). Wenfeng Tower was once the highest point in Gusha Bay, entering from Jinshili Lane, Anning West Street. The six-corner and three-story tower is not only a feng shui building for the Liugentang of the He Clan, but also the statue of "Wen Kuixing" is enshrined in the tower. It was originally a god that scholars and children in the countryside must come to worship when they start their winter studies.

The purpose of building the tower is to prosper Shawan's style of writing and encourage scholars to study hard and forge ahead. Shawan is a famous ancient town in the Pearl River Delta. It was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years. Shawan is a famous and scholarly town with profound cultural heritage. More than 70 Jinshi and Juren have been cultivated here. The stone inscriptions of archways such as "Poetry and Book World","Three Phoenix Flowing Fragrance" and "Literary Flowing Wind", and famous scenic spots such as Liugentang, Wenfeng Pagoda, and Ancient Town Study are all full of books and cultural atmosphere, showing the eight hundred years of tradition of worshipping literature and teaching, and inheriting the family through farming and reading.

In ancient times, the He family, one of the four major surnames in Shawan, lived and bred in Shawan. After creating wealth through hard work and wisdom of generations, they strongly advocated emphasizing the importance of literature and promoting education, and used family funds to establish scholarships.

The descendants who have obtained fame are ranked according to their ranks, and corresponding scholarships and land are provided to encourage them, gradually making this place a prosperous and famous township known for its "farming and reading culture" for hundreds of years.

In ancient Shawan, before children entered school, parents would take their children to Wenfeng Pagoda to burn incense and worship, and ask teachers to open pens to break their temples, so that children could experience the traditional virtues of respecting teachers and teaching in the solemn and solemn ceremony of opening pens, and realize that their life has entered a new stage of learning skills and learning to be a person.

From June to August every year, Shawan Ancient Town holds a traditional writing opening ceremony. The children came to the Liugentang Hall and Wenfeng Pagoda of the He Family Ancestral Temple to start their life and study journey, including "straightening the clothes", apprenticeship ceremony, lighting cinnabar, learning the three-character scriptures, writing characters, beating drums to express their aspirations,

Make a wish and other procedures. Under the Wenfeng Tower, there is a wall painting with the theme of a book boy's turtle fish. A group of cute little book boys are wearing Han costumes with strong traditional characteristics, with cinnabar on their foreheads, chasing the turtle fish and playing happily. As an important cultural symbol in Panyu District, turtle fish is becoming increasingly popular among people.

Shawan Ancient Town has also launched a cultural and creative product-turtle embroidery stickers, inspired by the folk "turtle dance". Ao fish has the meaning of "being the leader" among the people. As a representative of the science department, Shawan Ancient Town uses Ao fish in the form of embroidery on children's clothing, coupled with a belt of peach and plum flowers, which means that the country will gain fame and the world will be filled with peaches and plums (Xiao Guilai, Li Bo).

After I left the ancient tower, I walked into the alleys and visited some boutiques. After passing through Qingjieju, it was closed. I continued to walk to Dama Lane and saw more oyster shell walls. I passed through Junxing Gate, and walked more than a hundred meters. I arrived at the Gyro King Restaurant. In front of the square is a pond and behind it is the largest ancestral hall in the area.

He's Grand Ancestral Hall, also known as Liugentang, is located in Shawan Town, Panyu District. It was built in the first year of Deyou in the Southern Song Dynasty (1275) and was later destroyed and built several times. The current scale is expanded during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Shawan He's Grand Ancestral Hall, also known as Shawan Liugentang, is the Great Ancestral Hall of the He Clan in Shawan. The word "leave farming" comes from "Yin virtue is far from the ancestral family, and the heart is left for future generations to cultivate", which means building a temple to benefit future generations.

Liugentang is located in Shawan Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou City. It is the ancestral temple of the great family surnamed He in Shawan, Panyu. It is a typical representative of the architectural design of local folk rural ancestral halls in Guangdong Province. It is a place where the He family worshiped their ancestors or sages. Founded more than 600 years ago. The area is 3000 square meters. Its plane is in the shape of a long strip from north to south, and from south to north there are the big pond, Datian Street, main entrance, archway, Diaoyutai, middle seat, patio, back seat, east and west corridors and village temples, forming a rigorous structure, ornate decoration, and grand scale. The building, the exquisite design of the ancestral temple and the ingenious workmanship fully reflect the hard work, wisdom and artistic creativity of the ancient Chinese working people.

Liugentang is the ancestral hall of the He family in Shawan Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou City. Starting from 1275 AD, it took 40 years to build this magnificent ancestral temple, named "Liugentang". It is an ancient Lingnan building in Guangzhou that has a long history, strict layout, large scale, exquisite workmanship, majestic and elegant style. In 1989, it was listed as a provincial cultural relic protection unit by the People's Government of Guangdong Province. The construction area of Liugeng Hall is 3,334.25 square meters. The plan is in a five-opening and five-entry format with axial symmetry. It is divided into four major components: the head door, the instrument door, the Xiangxian Hall, and the back hall.

The entire Liugentang is famous for its many columns, with a total of 112 wood and stone pillars. The entire temple has architectural art from various dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, including woodcuts, stone carvings, gray sculptures, etc., each with its own styles, which has important historical value and reference value for the study of ancient buildings. It is truly valuable to have been preserved to this day.

It embodies the wisdom and blood and sweat of the working people in the Pearl River Delta and is a symbol of the region's society, economy, culture, and ancient town civilization. It was built in the first year of Deyou in the Southern Song Dynasty (1275), and was later destroyed and built several times. The current scale was expanded during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

It was more than 170 years earlier than the Chenjia Temple in Guangzhou (built in 1890 noon). Shawan Liugeng Hall, also known as the Ho Ancestral Hall, is the ancestral hall of the Ho Clan in Shawan. The name of the hall comes from the couplet on the ancestral hall: "Yin virtue is far from the ancestral temple, and the heart is left for future generations to cultivate." It means building a temple to benefit future generations.

Liugeng Hall is located on the "Lujiang Ning Road" in Beicun. It is the ancestral temple of the He Clan in Shawan. It was built from the Yuan Dynasty to the Yihai Year of the Yuan Dynasty (1275). It has experienced disasters and been repeatedly destroyed for hundreds of years. The current appearance was expanded in 17 years since the 39th year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1700). According to the relevant specifications of the Guanjia Temple, which was made in the Ming Dynasty.

The terrain of the entire temple is high in the north and low in the south. The main building covers an area of 3,334.25 square meters. It has a five-opening and five-entry shape. It has various parts such as the head door, the bell and drum tower, the instrument door, the east and west verandas, the prayer court, the back bedroom and the lining of the temple. Each building is laid out according to the functions required by ancient patriarchal etiquette, arranged along the central axis and unfolded symmetrically to both sides. It is magnificent and magnificent. Its architectural layout, structure and elegant and magnificent decoration demonstrate the superb ancient architectural art. It reflects the best site selection and direction in ancient Feng Shui theories.

In 1983, Mr. Xia Nai, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who is known as the "Academician of the Seven Countries" and the founder of modern Chinese archeology, visited the site and evaluated Liugentang as the "Palace of Comprehensive Art of Ancient Architecture in Lingnan".

The first He family to settle in Shawan was He Renjian. In the sixth year of Shaoding in the Southern Song Dynasty (1233), he purchased a large area of land in Shawan and became one of the five famous families (He, Wang, Li, and Zhao) in Panyu at that time. In order to commemorate and worship He He Jian, the He family built this Liugeng Hall in the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty (1275). Liugentang lasted for the three dynasties of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was overhauled three times. In 1986, it was renovated and opened after a cost of one million yuan, and it was turned into the "Shawan Museum".

In view of the fact that he purchased a large area of land in Shawan in the sixth year of Shaoding of the Southern Song Dynasty and flourished, He He became one of the five famous families in Panyu at that time. In order to commemorate the worship of He He Jian, the He family built the Liugentang in the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty. More than a hundred pillars of varying sizes support the dominating He family in Liugentang. Liugentang was destroyed by war fire at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and was repeatedly destroyed and built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. He's Grand Ancestral Temple sits north to south, advancing five ways from front to back and back, and three ways from left and right. Covering an area of approximately 3300 square meters. The main buildings include head door, instrument door, worship corridor, Xiangxian Hall, Liugeng Hall, and corridors and verandas built on both sides. In front of the ancient temple is a large rectangular Fengshui pond. On the open space between the Fengshui pond and the head door of the ancestral temple, there are a total of 16 stones sandwiched on both sides. This is a clear evidence that the number of people from the He clan obtained fame in those days.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the three brothers He Tang, He Guo and He Jia passed the Jinshi examination; He Qilong's great-grandson He Zihai continued the inheritance of his ancestors. He was literary and honest as an official. He was deeply appreciated by Song Lian and others, a famous person in the early Ming Dynasty. The facade of Ketou, a large group of He's, is five rooms wide and two rooms deep. It has a hard mountain top and a large stage in front and back. Supported by six octagonal stone pillars and six large log pillars,

The column foundations are all granite stone. The wooden beam frame in front of it is carved with patterns such as flowers, plants, birds and animals, and figures. There are two large wooden doors at the head door. Each door is painted with a general wearing armor as the door god. Above the door hangs a plaque with "He's Grand Ancestral Hall" with gold characters on a red background. There is also a stone drum on the left and right sides of the gate, and two drum towers,"Ren Xiao" and "Chu Di", are attached to both sides. Entering the main entrance, there is a stone archway with three rooms, four pillars and three floors. In the middle of the front of the door is a stone carving of "Poetry, Books and World Heritage" written in the calligraphy of Confucian master Chen Zisha. On the back are the four characters "Three Winds Flowing Fragrance", praising the three He brothers who were admitted to Jinshi during the Northern Song Dynasty.

The top ridge of the archway is a colorful dragon made of gray, with a vivid image. Second, enter Xiangxian Hall, patio, platform and east and west sides. The patio is square and wide and spreads the atmosphere. On the cornerstone of the platform are ancient stone carvings from the Yuan and the Second Year, which are quite precious. Xiangxian Hall was built in the forty-first year of Kangxi (1702), with an area of more than 400 square meters, five rooms wide and three rooms deep, and a roof of a hard mountain beam type. Xiangxian Hall is supported by four stone pillars and twenty-four large pillars.

There are exquisite patterns embossed on the golden beam frame. There are two plaques hanging on the back wall: "Xiangxian Hall" and "Da Zong Bo". "Xiangxian Hall" is to commemorate He Deming, the ancestor of the He family in Shawan, and "Da Zong Bo" is written in calligraphy by Zheng Yuncheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in Guangdong Province. It is to commemorate He Qilong, a letter from the Ministry of Rites during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. The last building in the ancient temple is Liugentang. Its building area is five rooms wide and three rooms deep. It has three rooms, with the center as the largest. The golden-lacquer wood carving god in the middle is rectangular, with the memorial tablet of He's ancestors placed inside.

The main features of Shawan Liugeng Hall are many columns, fine carvings, rich book couplets and majestic momentum. Liugentang has 112 stone pillars and wooden pillars. The raw materials for these wooden pillars were purchased from Southeast Asian countries at that time. In terms of carving, Liugentang retains very exquisite stone carvings, wood carvings, brick carvings, and gray sculptures, reflecting the exquisite architectural art of Lingnan Garden. Liugentang covers an area of 3300 square meters, with a terrain high in the north and low in the south. In order, they are Danchi, Datian Street, Shanmen, Yimen (archway), Danchi (patio), Platform (Diaoyutai), Xiangdian (Xiangxian Hall), Bedroom Hall (Liugentang), East and West verandah and Lin Temple.

In front of the Liugentang Mountain Gate is a wide Datian Street (square) paved with large bluestone. Datian Street faces a pond. On both sides of the pond are the Ma Ma Stone and eight stone seats for installing flagpoles. This kind of flagpole was used to raise flags to praise after obtaining fame in ancient times. There are red brick walls on the east and west sides of Datian Street, with colorful gray sculptures attached to the walls, with contents such as "Double Dragons Playing with Beads","Dragon and Phoenix Showing Auspicious","Kirin Showing Auspicious", etc. The workmanship is exquisite, realistic and lifelike. Just north of Datian Street is the main entrance of the grand, solemn and magnificent Liugentang. On the door is a horizontal plaque with gold characters on a red background,"He's Great Ancestral Temple". A couplet on both sides of the door reads: "The continuous enjoyment of the ancestors who cultivate and the descendants who continue to enjoy it, the great sects are the same as the small sects and different from the world."

The couplet shows that the construction of Liugentang took decades and hundreds of years to make future generations 'lives better, and it is hoped that the whole tribe will work together and be harmonious forever. The two doors at the main entrance are made of hard wood. Each door is painted with a general with a golden helmet and golden armor as the door god. The traditional technique of heavy color murals in our country is used, which is extremely bright and eye-catching. On both sides of the door are two stone drums, symbols of fame. The base of the drum base is engraved with auspicious patterns, and the front is engraved with a lion-shaped auspicious beast. The side is engraved with auspicious patterns such as "Lao Long teaches his son" and "Sanyang Qitai". On the east and west sides of the gate are wrapping platforms composed of three stone pillars, wooden pillars and gold-shaped joists. The front is the ceremony platform, used to receive gifts; the rear is the "eight-tone platform", used to welcome guests and sing names. In addition, there are two drum towers,"Chuxiao and" Rudi ", which together form the facade of Liugentang, which has initially demonstrated the grandeur of this ancient building.

The most worthy of careful appreciation at the main entrance is the beams on the top of the door. The wood carvings on the beams are extremely beautiful, especially the 33 triple Ruyi arch arches known as "humps" in ancient architecture. The carvings are full of diverse contents, including exotic flowers, birds and beasts, or historical characters, all lifelike. The entire front door, beams, arches and brackets together constitute a group of exquisite Lingnan architectural art treasures.

Entering the main entrance, a tall stele square stands in front of people. This stele square is called Yi Gate in ancient architecture and belongs to the second entrance of Liugentang. The door's forehead is a stone carving of "Poetry and Book of the World" written by Chen Baisha, a famous calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, indicating that the He family in Shawan was a scholarly family, and many people passed the imperial examinations in successive dynasties. The stele square is divided into three entrances by eight stone pillars. On the top, red and white stones are carved with patterns of flowers, birds and animals. Among them are red roses, gorgeous peonies, white chrysanthemums, and majestic falcons. The upper eaves bearing is made of wooden ruyi arches, floating out layer by layer, with high-rise eaves on all four sides. The main ridge of the stele square is a colorful dragon with the head in the west and the foot in the east carved with gray sculpture. The colorful dragon was about to swing its tail and fly high, with a full expression and was sculpted on the top of the stele square, full of vitality and auspicious meaning.

Passing the Monument Square and arriving at the Danchi (Grand Courtyard), you can look back and see the four vigorous characters on the forehead of the Monument Square: "Three Phoenix Flowing Fragrance". This is to commend the three brothers of Shawan He's ancestors who were admitted to Jinshi in the late Northern Song Dynasty. These three people were honored as the "Three Phoenix of the He Family" at that time and will be remembered in future generations.
