Yang Ancestral Hall, Hefeng

The listing

The Nanjing municipal list of protected sites records Yang Ancestral Hall, Hefeng, as Qing, in Yangjia Village, Hefeng Town, Lishui District. The municipal list gives only the level, period and location; it gives neither the size of the hall nor the year it was built. The gazette notice for the municipal batch has not been traced.

Two halls in Hefeng Town

Hefeng is a town, in the south of the district. Two ancestral halls in it appear in the municipal list: the Yang hall in Yangjia Village, which is this entry, and the Zhu hall in Zhujia Village, both recorded as Qing. The two stand in different villages of the same town and are independent protected sites with their own protected areas; this entry does not merge them.

To be added

The width and depth of the hall, the dates of its construction and rebuilding, its hall name, the surviving buildings and the layout of its courtyard, the arrival and growth of the Yang lineage in the Hefeng area, and the gazette notice for the municipal listing. Nothing absent from the lists is supplied here.
