First with the Northern Emperor and then the Ancestral Temple
During the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1078-1085), a craftsman laid the first wooden stake of the “ancestral hall”. Over the past thousand years, this building has undergone many renovations and expansions, and finally became the “Gao of Oriental Folk ArtKomiks 1960 witch cloth draw“. “When it comes to the ancestral temple, we have to mention the Northern Emperor. There is the Northern Emperor first and then the ancestral temple.” Liang Guocheng, an expert committee member of the Foshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center, said that the Northern Emperor in the ancestral temple is called the Water God in Taoism. Because Foshan is located in the water network area, it was often affected by Taiwan’s winds and floods, and farming was greatly affected, and people’s lives were miserable. So, Foshan folk groupEveryone specially invited the protector of the Northern Emperor to pray that the water god would give water (meaning to regulate the water volume) and that the weather would be good for the year. After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of Central Plains gentry moved to Foshan, Lingnan, Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw, bringing advanced technologies such as culture and smelting in the Central Plains.

“Relying on water transportation, Foshan people lived a good life. The folk belief of Beidi made the people at that time taste the sweetness.” Liang Guocheng said that at that time, considering that Beidi was a faith passed down from Foshan folk ancestors Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw, a large-scale temple was built on the original basis. The Ancestral Temple in the early Ming Dynasty became the largest Taoist temple in southern China at that time.
Liang Guocheng believes that the faith of the Northern Emperor represents the spiritual state of Foshan people. As the saying goes, “There are gods three feet above the head.” Foshan people are particularly simple, especially abide by the rules, and pay special attention to commercial credit under the faith of the Northern Emperor. The faith of the Northern Emperor is the root left by the ancestors of Foshan people from generation to generation. This mental state has produced Foshan culture and has been passed down from generation to generation.

Later, a professional team found that the architectural design of the entire Wanfutai was an acoustic field structure, with the sound from Wanfutai to the two corridors on both sides, and then to the Lingying Archway, forming a natural overall three-dimensional surround sound echo wall. Even the people in the last row could clearly listen to the sound, ensuring excellent performance sound effects.
