When traveling to Guangzhou, what should be the first scenic spot to visit?

People who come to Guangzhou should generally be interested in the cultural attractions in Guangzhou. The Chen Family Temple is famous. Ancestral temple culture is a popular culture in Guangdong province, and its origin still comes from the Central Plains, but it is mainly in Guangdong that it is preserved and still popular. In fact, Chen Family Temple was pushed to the front of the stage as one of the main representatives of Jiaojiao. After the founding of New China, the scenic spot has been restored to its glamorous side through renovation.

ancestral temple culture is mainly studied in combination with its geography, appearance, function and other factors. What we see around the Chenjia Temple is very different from the geographical appearance of that year. Generally speaking, there will be a fish pond or pool outside the ancestral hall to benefit from geomantic omen. In the past, if it should be not far from the ancestral graves, every Qingming and Chongyang people would go to the ancestral temple to worship, and some families would have the custom of sharing pork or money.

Whether a family is prosperous or not, we can observe their carved beams and painted buildings, although it is said that the Chen Family Temple has been renovated. However, the technology adopted after its restoration was handed down from that year. If you want to know how influential this family is in the local area, you often only need to look at the ancestral temple to know whether his family has money or cultural background, and whether there are people in business or officials in the family. In addition, some local chronicles recorded in the family will also have many materials and records that scholars are interested in.

Generally speaking, apart from worshipping ancestors, some ancestral halls also have the nature of academies. It is intended that the children of future generations will study hard under the supervision of their ancestors and never forget to live up to their ancestors. Therefore, generally, when they achieve success or small success, they will also leave precious historical materials in the academy, which is worth studying. Therefore, if you want to understand Guangzhou, you must understand the people living in Guangzhou and the culture they worship.
