Return: Memorial Significance of a New Ancestral Temple: Taking Duan's Ancestral Hall, Yingshan, Hubei as an Example

摘要

The memorial significance of newly-built ancestral temples is mainly reflected in such aspects as the site, scale, shape and structure, decoration, and couplets of these buildings. With the rising phenomena of recompiling genealogical trees and building ancestral temples, the scale of ancestral temples, as single buildings, is continuing to be enlarged. Compared with traditional ancestral temples, the memorial significance of these newly built are continuously enhanced.
