Located in Zhengying Village, Baoxiu Town, Shiping County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, the Chen Ancestral Hall was founded in 1925 at the initiative of Mr. Chen Heting, a member of the Chen clan. The Chen Ancestral Hall complex covers an area of 2,577 square meters, including ancestral gates, stone bridges, lotus ponds, naves, main halls, side halls, archways, etc. In May 2006, the Chen Ancestral Hall was announced by the State Council as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
The gate of the Chen Ancestral Hall is archway-style, tall and majestic, a three-bay room of masonry structure, and the tile roof and door frame are rolled with masonry arches. In front of the ancestral hall, there are two pavilion-shaped bluestone sketches, standing to the left and right.

The stone lion at the door is majestic, the shape is realistic, and it is not angry and threatening.
Four bluestone plaques are inlaid on the forehead of the gate, both 80 centimeters in length and width, and the four characters of "Chen Clan Ancestral Hall" are inscribed by Zhu Jiabao, a native of Huaning, Yunnan in the Qing Dynasty, who and Chen Heting are "tongbang jinshi", and later served as the inspector of Jilin and Anhui, and have a political reputation. Under the plaque there is an inscription by Mr. Chen Heting: "Valve reading Huan Mu Mu, arguing for the long flow of water, bowing to the Ji Qiu Mian Hundred Generations; ancestral hall Linbao Xiu, more Xirui Lake in sight, sparkling mountains full of a door." ”
The plaque in the second room is the inscription of the then Governor of Dian, Tang Jiyao. The inscription "Long History" in large letters. The couplet is a lishu, and the joint language is: "Zu De came from Taiqiu, and the brother of the difficult brother Zenghui Pengdi; on the ancestral hall Linrui Lake, the picking of ping and the algae yong recommended the sweet fragrance." ”
On the back of the ancestral gate, there are four large characters of "Di Guang Yi Ling" written by Chen Rongchang, a famous scholar of Kunming, which means: The noble ideological character of the predecessors will always guide the descendants. On the forehead wall of the second room, there is a stone plaque inscribed by Zhao Fan, a cultural celebrity in Yunnan, "Jizhi Narrative", which flows through the clouds and flows water, flowing and generous.
Through the ancestral gate, suddenly cheerful, in the wide patio, there is a lotus pond, the pond lotus posture is graceful, there is a unique stone bridge on the central axis, and the stone column has the zodiac sign and the lion, elephant, peach, bergamot and other auspicious things.
There is a pavilion on the east and west sides of the lotus pond, a civil structure, a heavy eaves on the top of the mountain, three bays, and a cornice. The seven cornices resemble seven green dragons raising their heads and rushing into the sky, like the disciples of the clan soaring like dragons. The middle two floors are equipped with beautiful leanings, and the bucket arch carvings are extremely exquisite.
The nave is built on a 75 cm high stone pedestal. The bottom of the stone pillar is like a vase, round and drum-shaped, and it supports 20 cornice pillars at the bottom, and the columns are thick and hugged, all of which are vermilion tree hearts, which are incomparably strong.
The nave is surrounded by four outer and inner log windows, four butterfly plum patterns carved in the corners, and the door is a carved door, and the pattern is auspicious flowers, birds, grasses and insects. The nave is a single-stop mountaintop, with raised beams, seven beams, bucket arch carved dragon painting Rui, bird for "fish dragon chengrui"; the beam partition is carved with unicorns, golden monkeys, white cranes and other mascots, gold paint painting, like a dream. In the main hall, looking up, the ink inscription on the main beam reads: "The fourteenth year of the Republic of China is ugly, the twenty-fourth day of the twenty-fourth month of the mid-spring month, Ji Dan, the Chen Clan and other master craftsmen Li Jiabi, the mason Wang Zhaoqing Dingjian." ”
Enter the nave again, and see a bluestone patio of about 400 square meters, the bluestone is spliced into an ice crack pattern, and the east and west wing rooms have three openings with a small ear and two floors. The windows are geometric, staggered, high and low.
The main hall is a beam-like building with heavy eaves on the top of the hill, built on a 2.1-meter stone platform foundation, with three bays and two entrances. The pillar stone lions look at each other, the male lion on the left contains a treasure in its huge mouth, which tourists can touch with their hands; the female lion on the right closes her lips, and several small lions crawl on the body. There are six doors of the selected Tsubaki wood, six plastered lattice doors, and the center and skirt board are carved with flowers, birds, and auspicious beasts, such as "Qilin Tu lotus" and "sacred deer holding fruit", with meticulous carving, smooth lines, smooth polishing, and moist gold paint.
The tall and spacious main hall was originally a place dedicated to the ancestral tablets of the Chen clan and the deliberations and decisions on major matters. Follow the left and right sides to clip the ears, and you can go up the corner stairs to the second floor.
In the middle of the second floor, there is a large window with four square circles and four bats hugging bamboo. Four bats carved in the corner of the window, with a gold body on a blue background, surrounded by a middle circle. A circle of red edges in the middle circle, gold curves coiled around, like chains, tightly connected; the center of the window is made of tsubaki carved bamboo knots through the bucket. At first glance, it is dazzling, I don't know why, carefully tasted, and the mystery is endless. Bamboo is a symbol of the emptiness of the heart, the clan is industrious, humble and upward, abide by the loyalty and filial piety; the bamboo knots are staggered, like countless people support each other, forming the style of mutual unity, standing in the world, so that the Chen family will always prosper.
