Mazha Huangshi ancestral hall

Huang's Ancestral Hall is a commercial-land-style building, with Longhumen as its newspaper office. It was built in the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1862) and has a history of 150 years. Over the past century and a half, Huang's ancestral hall has experienced vicissitudes, witnessed the changes of the situation, and left an indelible historical mark and precious memories for future generations:

There is an inscription on the back of the gate of Huang Ancestral Hall: "My ancestors Yan and Yu Zangong devoted themselves to farming enjoyment because of the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty. Fu started here, and it has been ten years since agriculture. Children and grandchildren cherish the profound and far-reaching merits of their ancestors, so they built a shrine to worship when Ren Xusui was old, so they paid homage to the newspaper and made Zhao Muyun. Generations of grandchildren respect each other. "

The Story of Building a Temple tells the story that Yan and Yu Zangong, ancestors of Mazha Huang family, moved to the south foot of Bitian Mountain in Huilai County to make a living by farming and become self-sufficient in the late Ming Dynasty. Later, Sun Fuyuan, a native of Hong Kong, moved to Magongzha and settled here, starting the inheritance of the Huang family and becoming the founder of the Huang family in Magongzha. Fuyuan official farmer, in the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1862) (Pai XII), built the Huang Ancestral Hall, that is, "Chongbao Hall", to remember the merits of his ancestors.

From Yan's escape from chaos in Bitian Township, Fuyuan founded Huang's family in Mazha, which has been passed down to the twelfth generation. During the more than 200 years from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (1644) to adulthood (1862, the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty), Mazha Huang followed the historical trend, from avoiding chaos to laying the foundation stone. Our ancestors went through hardships, from turmoil to stability, to recuperate. Although the time is not very long, recalling this history today can better inspire future generations to pursue the future cautiously and with inspiration.

There is a legend in Huang's ancestral temple: there is a pamphlet and a pole on the top of the temple. The pamphlet is the suicide note of the first country, and there is a memorial date in the book: "I gave birth to three sons, and the moth gave birth to one son." The four ancestors in the book are the fifth generation handed down by Fu. This ancestral hall of the Huang family was built by a national public school, so the descendants of the ancestral hall called it "the whole country". According to statistics in 2008, there were 5,886 descendants (excluding overseas).

With the changes of the times, the ancestral temple has also experienced the baptism of wind and rain. In the early 1950s (after the land reform), the ancestral hall was distributed to three villagers. Since then, the ancestral hall has changed from public houses to private houses. In the 1970s, due to the careless accumulation of firewood, the ancestral hall was returned by Lu, even severely damaged, and became a ruin.

After the reform and opening up, the rural economy has developed, and the descendants of the Huang family cherish their ancestors and discuss the restoration of the ancestral temple. After many efforts, we planned to raise funds, redeem the ancestral temple property rights, set up the ancestral temple reconstruction Council, and sent a letter of donation and reconstruction to our grandchildren, which received enthusiastic response from our grandchildren. So we chose the auspicious day of the second day of March in the fifth year of the lunar calendar (2008) to start construction. According to the original pattern of the temple, the old buildings have been restored as before. After more than ten months' efforts, they finally regained their glory on February 20, 2008/kloc-0, and everyone was happy and realized their long-cherished wish.

At present, ancestral tablets are enshrined in public shrines. The first ancestor was Fu, and the second one was arranged in the order of two to five biographies of Fu. Several niches are beautifully made, and there are incense tables in front of them, which are solemn and solemn. Painting clay gold on the beam, lion supporting phoenix, lifelike; Carved flower baskets look good; The main hall is covered with eyebrows, finely carved, and exotic flowers and grasses; On the roof, the wings of the phoenix-tailed finch are inlaid with porcelain birds and beasts, which shine brightly; The colorful paintings on the wall are lifelike and can be called fine works. On the zhaobi, stone carvings and gold-painted unicorns add momentum to the ancestral hall.
