Is the ancient ancestral temple in China the most luxurious?

The most luxurious ancestral temple in ancient China was Chenjia Temple in Guangzhou. The Chenjiaci covers an area of 65,438+05,000 square meters and consists of nine halls, six courtyards and 65,438+09 single buildings. This building is famous for its exquisite decoration and grandeur. Among the master buildings in China, there is a saying that there is a Confucius House in Qufu in the north and a Chen Family Temple in Guangzhou in the south.

During the Qianlong, Jiaqing and Guangxu periods of the Qing Dynasty, there were three "forbidden ancestral halls" in Guangdong, which prohibited the establishment of ancestral halls in Guangdong, so Chen renamed this ancestral hall "Academy".

Brick carving, gray carving, pottery sculpture, wood carving, stone carving and iron casting in Chenjiaci are masterpieces of Lingnan architectural art, and almost all halls, porches, roofs and girders show the "three sculptures, two plastics and one casting" and the "seven wonders" of Lingnan architecture.

These unique sculptures also use carving techniques such as gray carving and pottery sculpture, which are extremely rare in China. Shuttle in the meantime, people have to marvel at the skills of traditional craftsmen in China.
