Chen Clan Ancestral Hall-Folk Craft Museum - The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is a masterpiece of traditional Cantonese architecture and offers a glimpse into Chinese ancestral culture. As visitors explore its intricately decorated halls and tranquil courtyards, the guide will explain how ancestral halls like this served as both places of worship and centers of learning for prominent clans.
In contrast to Western churches, which focus on individual faith, ancestral halls embody Confucian ideals of filial piety and collective identity. Here, visitors will learn how Chinese families honored ancestors, passed down values, and educated future generations in hopes of bringing honor to their lineage. The tour will reflect on the hall’s dual role as a shrine and study hall, and how its carvings and symbols represent aspirations for knowledge, prosperity, and virtue.
