Current location There are many precious works of art in the main hall of the ancestral hall. There are 70 ritual vessels, 30 kinds of weapons, a huge bronze mirror with a diameter of 1.31 meters, a large bronze tripod, a bronze bell and an incense burner in the temple. There are stone tablets, stone animals from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, inscriptions from the "Two Years of Zhenguan" in the Tang Dynasty, and manuscripts beside the stone tablets.
Reassembled tile roof, a large number of gold and wood carving building components, large iron warrior statues, iron beasts, iron cannons, etc.
Many of the furnishings in the museum reflect the superb technology of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so the ancestral hall is also known as the "Palace of Oriental Folk Art."
In the years that followed, the ancestral hall changed. The imperial court turned the ancestral hall into a spiritual holy place, and the ancestral hall changed from a place for folk sacrifices to a place for official sacrifices.
In the 1970s, before the Chancheng Museum was established, the ancestral hall was located next to Guandi Temple and Mazu Temple. It was later demolished to build the Zen City Museum, so it is inaccurate to use the concept of a museum to evaluate the ancestral hall. It looks more like a complex!
