Introduction to the Xiangtang: The second entrance to the ancestral hall is the Xiangtang, which is also the main hall. It is an important place for the clan to discuss important matters, formulate township rules and regulations, and formulate rituals. Each of the two beams on the top of the Xiangtang has the character "福" and the character "shou", which is called "both happiness and longevity". The carvings on the "humps" on the side beams on both sides are mainly "melons stacked and stretched" with abundant fruits, symbolizing the prosperity of the clan. The plaque "Xiang Xian" on it means that there are many moral and talented people among the Yu clan.
