Yang Ancestral Hall, Liujiawan Village, Fuchuan, Guangxi.

Located 80 meters south of the village, the Yang Ancestral Hall was originally called "Gongchen Temple" and was built in the late Song Dynasty to commemorate the hero Yang Linggong. It was rebuilt in the 47th year of the Kangxi reign (1708) and renamed "Gongcheng Temple." It consists of an upper and lower hall with a courtyard in the middle, forming a rectangular quadrangle. In the early Republic of China, it was renamed "Yang Ancestral Hall," and two side rooms were added, covering an area of 644 square meters. The three front doors are made of stone, with a Tai Chi pattern and the four characters "Yang Ancestral Hall" engraved on the top of the middle door, and "Zuo Zhao" and "You Mu" engraved on the top of the left and right side doors. Inside, there are 18 stone pillars and two round wooden pillars, using a beam-lifting structure. Each stone pillar is engraved with reliefs of lions, tigers, and frogs, and seven pairs of couplets are engraved on 14 stone pillars. Two of the stone pillars are frog-shaped, which is quite unique and interesting. The surrounding walls are made of large blue square stones 2.2 meters high, 2 meters long, and 43 centimeters thick, and are very strong. A seven-story pagoda was built on the left side, and a stage was built opposite the temple. The seven-story pagoda and the stage were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. The stone carvings in the ancestral hall are unique and have high artistic value. It is a historical building in Fuchuan County. At present, the stone pillar on the left side of the gate of the ancestral hall seems to have been damaged and needs to be repaired urgently.
