What should be the first scenic spot to visit when traveling to Guangzhou?

People who come to Guangzhou are generally interested in Guangzhou's cultural attractions, and the famous one is Chenjiaci. Ancestral temple culture is a popular culture in Guangdong province. Its origin still comes from the Central Plains, but it is mainly preserved in Guangdong and still popular. In fact, as one of the main representatives, Chenjiaci was pushed to the stage. After the founding of New China, the scenic spot has been transformed and restored to its glamorous side.

The ancestral temple culture is mainly studied in combination with its geography, appearance, function and other factors. What we see around Chenjia Temple is very different from the geographical features of that year. Generally speaking, there will be fish ponds or pools outside the ancestral hall to facilitate geomantic omen. In the past, if it should be a place not far from the ancestral grave, every Qingming Festival and Chongyang Festival 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 Chenjia Temple has been restored. 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, cultural background, business people and officials. In addition, some families recorded in local chronicles will also have many materials and records that scholars are interested in.

Generally speaking, some ancestral temples have the nature of academies besides the function of ancestor worship. It is intended that future generations will study hard under the supervision of their ancestors and never forget to live up to their ancestors. Therefore, in general, when they achieve success or small achievements, 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.
