Also influenced by Confucian culture, why is the ancestral hall culture in the south much stronger than that in the north?

Because many of these ancestral temples were built by people who moved from the Central Plains to the south, they set up ancestral temples here with their relatives in order to establish their influence and cohesion in the south, and have developed here for generations. In the later period, the south is a place that everyone yearns for. Because there are often wars in the north, some ancient buildings will be destroyed, while the south is relatively stable, so these buildings have been preserved until now.

Many people come to southern Anhui, that is, Huizhou, as well as parts of Jiangxi and Fujian, and they will find many local ancestral temples and rich cultural heritage. But in northern areas, such as Shandong and Henan, these ancestral halls are rarely seen, and many people are curious. Is the culture in the south necessarily deeper than that in the north? In fact, this has a lot to do with historical reasons.

First of all, these ancestral halls are not necessarily established by the indigenous people in the south. It may be that some people who moved from the north to the south of the Yangtze River, in order to have a certain position in the local area, took their relatives to the local area and developed their lives here. In order to make his family's reputation bigger and bigger, various ancestral temples have been established, which will also have certain influence in the local area. Because what the natives in the south said was incomprehensible to the northerners, they also set up ancestral temples in order to have a certain cohesion in the local area.

Another reason is that the war in the south is much smaller than that in the north. Because the northern region is close to Mobei, it will inevitably be invaded and destroyed by nomadic people such as Xiongnu Qidan, so many buildings were destroyed in the war, and now there are not many that can be preserved. But the southern region is different. The culture in the southern region is well preserved. Therefore, it is necessary to consider whether the ancestral temple is a place of war. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the southern region was very stable and nothing happened.
