Zhu Ancestral Hall, Hefeng

The listing

The Nanjing municipal list of protected sites records Zhu Ancestral Hall, Hefeng, as Qing, in Zhujia 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.

The village

Zhujia Village is now part of Hefeng Town. Two ancestral halls in the town appear in the municipal list, one in Yangjia Village and one in Zhujia Village, which is this entry, both recorded as Qing. They stand in different villages of the same town and are independent protected sites; this entry does not merge them, and it does not infer the lineage's origins from the correspondence between the village name and the hall's surname.

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 Zhu lineage in the Hefeng area, and the gazette notice for the municipal listing. Nothing absent from the lists is supplied here.
