龍川胡氏宗祠

龍川胡氏宗祠位於安徽省宣城市績溪縣城東11公里處的瀛洲鎮龍川村，建於明嘉靖二十五年，其以“木雕藝術博物館”和“民族藝術殿堂”著稱於世，1988年被評為全國重點文物保護單位，中外建築專家稱其“規模之大、時間之長、完整之好、裝飾之美為天下第一”。

胡氏宗祠里有大量以荷花為主題的雕刻，胡家推崇荷花，不僅因為其高潔的特質，更因為它諧音為“和”，體現了家族和睦、長幼有序之意。

胡氏宗祠最有名的就是徽派藝術了，祠內裝飾精美，尤以保存完好的各類木雕為最，有“徽派木雕藝術寶庫”之稱。龍川在明代曾出過兩任六部尚書。

It has Huizhou architectural features and represents a ancestral temple. Everywhere is the scenery, everywhere is the moral. For those who like geomantic omen, they think it's worth visiting. It's very wise to carve beams, paint beautifully, and attach a good moral to them. It's very commendable! It's better to ask the guide to explain it. You can't see it clearly.

Longchuan Hu ancestral temple is located in Longchuan Water Street. It is the core scenic spot of Longchuan scenic spot. It is a typical Hui style building with a large scale and exquisite architecture. It has a patio with fat water and no outflow of people's fields, thin pillars and fat beams, also known as winter melon beams. Ancestral hall decoration is dominated by various types of wood carvings, known as "Museum of Wood Carving Art" and "Palace of National Art". It is necessary to have a look at ancient Chinese architecture. It's only 11 kilometers away from Jixi County. The Huizhou cuisine in the town is delicious.

This scale of ancestral temples also shows that the Hu family in Longchuan is a famous family here. Inside the carving moments are mainly Ming Dynasty. There is a small temple on the east side for the Ding family. Longchuan terrain is like a boat. Mr. Feng Shui said to Hu's family who came here, please come over and nail down the boat so that it won't be rocked by the wind and rain. Strangely, Ding's ancestral hall is higher than that of Hu's, and its roof is lower, which means that it is not too high or too low. There are two half-round tables in the main hall of the ancestral temple. According to one statement, if the male master is not at home, he will remove half of the round tables. When a man comes to see them, he will not enter the room. It's probably the way reunions come.
