Introduction to Qiao's Ancestral Hall: At the end of the gate corridor, corresponding to the gate, there were originally three layers of ancestral tablets on display. The ancestral hall is very elegantly decorated, with three steps and a temple structure, with lion head pillars, white marble stone carvings, handrails with the word "longevity", and wooden carvings on the lattice door to the sky with a fan. The eaves are supported by four pillars, two bright and two dark. The capitals are richly decorated with hollow wood carvings of jade trees, orchids and vines, and pine trees. There is a plaque on the forehead with the four characters "Renzhou Yipu" written on it, inscribed by Li Hongzhang.
