First, there was the Northern Emperor before there was 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”. In the past thousand years, this building has undergone many renovations and expansions and finally becomes the “Palace of Oriental Folk Art”. “When it comes to the ancestral temple of Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw, we have to mention the Northern Emperor, and 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. From Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw is located in the water network area in Foshan. In the past, Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw was often affected by typhoons and floods, and farming was greatly affected, and people’s lives were miserable.So, the people in Foshan specially invited the protection of the God of Northern Emperor to pray to the water god to give water (meaning to regulate the water volume) and have a good year of weather. After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of Central Plains gentry moved to Foshan, Lingnan, and brought advanced technologies such as culture and smelting in the Central Plains. At that time, Foshan Town relied on the transportation of rivers such as Dongping River and became a major city for light industry, becoming one of the top economic and developed areas at that time, equivalent to Shanghai today.
“Relying on water transportation, Foshan people lived a good life. The folk belief of Beidi made the people taste the sweetness of the people at that time.” Liang Guocheng said that at that time, considering that Beidi was a faith passed down from Foshan folk, Babaylan 1990 cloth draw built a large-scale temple to serve Beidi 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 abiding by the rules, and paying special attention to commercial credit. 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.

Wanfutai creates an acoustic miracle
Wanfutai in the ancestral temple is the oldest and best preserved ancient stage in South China. There is a wide stone paving site in front of the stage with a 1960 witch cloth draw.

In addition, the bronze statue pedestal is 1.6 meters. Generally speaking, the performer’s eyes on the stage just face the eyes of Beidi, which shows that Beidi is reviewing his performance, so the performer will perform more attentively.

Wanfutai, which has a history of more than 300 years and is decorated with brilliant and brilliant wood carvings, stands majestic. In Liang Guocheng’s view, its architectural art is also very sophisticated. Liang Guocheng said that in 2002, a musician from Guangzhou came to Wanfu Station to perform and found that the sound effect without an electronic amplifier was better. Later, the professional team found that the architectural design of the entire Wanfu Station is a sound field structure, with the sound from Wanfu Station 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 can listen clearly, ensuring excellent performance sound effects. Liang Guocheng pointed out that without modern technological means, Wanfutai created an acoustic miracle. Unfortunately, people nowadays like to use loudspeakers to bury the advanced nature of Wanfutai.
