Wang Tai Madam Ancestral Hall
Wang Tai Madam Ancestral Hall is a rare ancestral hall in the country named after a woman's surname. According to the introduction hanging on the wall in the ancestral hall: Madam Wang Tai was charitable and established a school where poor children could read books for free, and they were also provided with lunch and two sets of clothes each year. In addition, she built a granary to store grain and cooked porridge to help the poor. Before her death, she reminded her son to store no less than a thousand stones of grain in the granary each year. Due to Madam Wang Tai's actions, she was respected and loved by later generations, and the ancestral hall was built in her memory. This phenomenon was very rare in the male-dominated feudal society.
Fushen Temple
Fushen Temple is a convergence of religious culture and revolutionary culture. It was initially built in the late Southern Song Dynasty and was renovated during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. It is an important site for religious ceremonies and cultural activities in Bailu Village, and also the historical site of the famous Bailu Conference.
Xiuhua Tower
Xiuhua Tower is located next to Fushen Temple. It is a two-story pavilion with an open space in front and a pond below. Standing in Xiuhua Tower and looking out, you can see the ancient stage of Bailu Ancient Village. This place was also used in ancient times for throwing embroidered balls to choose a husband, making it quite worth a visit.
Li Qing Hall
Zhong Yuchang's eldest son, Zhong Chongguan, lived in Li Qing Hall. The grandmother here is the ninth-generation descendant, and now there are 11 generations. Two white marble incense burners and an ancestral altar were placed in the front courtyard and backyard, but they were stolen one night in the early 2000s. What you can see now are the 'golden bricks left outside the Forbidden City' and the grand master's chair that have been mentioned online. The couplet gifted by Prince Cheng of the Qing royal family was taken away by the family themselves, fearing it would be stolen again.
Hongyu Hall
The owner of Hongyu Hall is a renowned doctor known for saving lives and having high moral standards. He was awarded by the emperor, which led to the construction of this hall. Its architectural structure is exceptionally unique, with a rare five-jump ruyi dougong structure at the eaves in front of the door, commonly known as 'Bird's Nest' by the locals.
