Qiu Ancestral Hall

A Qing ancestral hall in Cangkou Village, Honglan Subdistrict

Qiu Ancestral Hall stands in Cangkou Village, Honglan Subdistrict, and was listed in 2017 in the third district batch of protected sites, recorded as Qing. Cangkou Village has three listed halls, of which this is one.

Qiu Ancestral Hall stands in what is now Cangkou Village, Honglan Subdistrict, Lishui District. In the notice of the Lishui District People's Government on the third batch of district-level protected sites (Li Zheng Fa [2017] No. 197) it is recorded as Qing, at the place then named as Honglan Town, Cangkou Village; Honglan Town became Honglan Subdistrict in 2018, so the address here uses the current form.

Three ancestral halls in the single village of Cangkou are listed: the Rui hall at municipal level, the Fan hall at district level, and this Qiu hall at district level. They are independent protected sites, each with its own protected area, and this entry does not merge them. The district list gives only the level, period and location; it gives neither the size of the hall nor the year it was built.

Entry to be expanded. This is a skeleton entry: at present it guarantees only that the fields and sources are complete. Still to be added: the width and depth, the dates of construction and rebuilding, the hall name, the surviving buildings and the layout of the courtyard, the arrival and growth of the Qiu lineage in Cangkou, and the formal published text of the third batch. Until then, no unverified building data will be entered.
