One person entered Guangdong and became a founding ancestor, fourteen sons and grandsons of civil servants and military generals, and now there are more than 20 million descendants.
I don't know if I have friends who like Guangdong. Guangdong City has always been one of my favorite cities. This coastal city has always been a city that I yearn for. I feel that this city has a unique charm that has always attracted me and has become my obsession. Nian, I remember when I was a child, I secretly swore in my heart that I would earn money and go to Guangdong to play in future. When I grew up, I really fulfilled my childhood wish.
When I first set foot on this land, I was very excited, thinking that I had finally arrived in city I had been thinking about and would soon be able to go to sea, not to mention how happy I was. My impression of Guangdong is pleasant Cantonese. People here speak Cantonese as their first language. Listening to them speak is like getting into Cantonese opera. In an instant, I feel like I'm wearing a skirt with suspenders, I'm laughing and laughing with my friends on The heroine of series as if meeting her destined real son around the next corner.

I think Guangdong is a very romantic city, but also a city with strong beliefs. Here, people usually worship Guanggong, Guanyin, and other great gods.
The people of Guangdong are also very prosperous. There are many clan members of each surname, but some clan members with surnames went through a period of "going to Nanyang", and many descendants scattered abroad.

However, this does not affect their success. Many descendants will return to their hometowns to hold large-scale worship ceremonies every Chinese New Year. There is a "hometown of overseas Chinese" here, which is especially impressive.
Here is ancestral home of Liu family, which is by far most prosperous single-surname ancestral home in Guangdong. Now let's see how big Liu family is.

Liu Ancestral Hall is located in Xingning County, Guangdong Province. This ancestral hall has a long history. It was built in thirty-ninth year of Kangxi reign, and history of its construction is unusual.
It is said that Liu Kai Qigong was founder of Liu Ancestral Hall. Fujian was his hometown.

Initially, it was a small family ancestral hall. Later, when times changed, more and more descendants began to expand, and today it has become famous Liu Ancestral Hall, which has become a key protection of cultural relics. unit.
Many people who go to Guangdong come here to pay their respects, see what is so special about this ancestral home, listen to history of this family, and understand history of Liu family, which also plays a role in cultural heritage.

According to historical records, Liu Kaiqi came here to work and led his troops to put down Huang Yanzhang's rebellion. Unfortunately, he died, so he was buried on battlefield where he fought, which is Xingning Huangfengzhang today. Condolences from his soul.
After Liu Kaiqi left, his eldest son Liu Guangchuan divorced and gave birth to 14 sons, 86 grandchildren and 360 great-grandchildren. The family grew stronger, and over time descendants appeared, Liu family migrated in all directions.

But their roots are here, so they will return to perform a grand ancestor worship ceremony every Chinese New Year. Ancestor worship can imagine how majestic this scene was. The descendants of Liu family are still multiplying and expanding family.
Lu's ancestral hall, named "Ai Jing Tang", has been constantly expanding. Now it occupies a very large area. The entire building is located in Xingning County. The design of ancestral hall is very special. is a hall with three entrances, a hall surrounded by semi-circular houses, wooden and stone structures, ancient, whole building is very majestic, stone drums in front left and right of door, and there is a large plaque at main door with several golden letters - Liu Ancestral Hall.

The whole building is magnificent, but classic, full of old charm. In addition to learning about history of Liu family, tourists who come here will be amazed by construction of this ancestral hall, which is very distinctive. When you set foot on this land, you will immediately feel awe. In front of ancestral home, there is a river full of crabs, we all know that crabs have strong reproductive ability.
Thus, it echoes Liu family, and this place has become a treasure trove of geomantic omens. Some friends joked that if you want to have many children and grandchildren, you can come here to bow. Maybe next one with a huge family will be you, of course, this is also a joke, people are more respectful, respect with all your heart.

Ding Xingwang, a member of Liu family for generations, gathers many people for ancestor worship each year. This is not because there are too many tourists here, but because all these people are descendants of Liu family. How safe, although many were forced to leave their hometown for historical reasons and dispersed to different places.
But when time comes to worship their ancestors, they will never forget to return and burn incense to their ancestors, and they will never forget their roots. It might be a kind of spirit of Liu family, a kind of infinite spirit. If any of your friends are interested in this family or are going to play in Guangdong, this Liu's Hall of Ancestors is a place to visit.
