Introduction to Fang's Ancestral Hall: The stone archway of Fang's Ancestral Hall was built in the Dinghai year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1527). It has four pillars, three bays and five floors. It is built with white granite from Huizhou. The whole body is decorated with high reliefs, upper beams and forehead beams. The patterns on the archway are all hollowed out, including the "dragon and phoenix list" on the top of the archway. Other archways offer "imperial edict", "enrong" and "imperial edict", but this one has no inscriptions on the "dragon and phoenix list". It only carves a grinning ghost, holding a pen in his right hand, a "quan" in his left hand, and a large square bucket behind his raised feet. "Ghost" and "dou" combined are the word "kui", which means "kui". It is profound, the patterns are vivid, and the carving craftsmanship is exquisite.
