History - Established in the Qing Dynasty: During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the demand for footholds and residences in Guangzhou increased, and the trend of building ancestral halls by clan organizations from all over the country became popular. During the Qianlong period, the government banned the establishment of clan ancestral halls by the people. During the Guangxu period, the control was slightly relaxed, and the Chen Clan Academy was established in this context. It brings together the essence of Lingnan folk architectural decoration art, using seven decorative arts: wood carving, stone carving, brick carving, gray sculpture, pottery sculpture, copper and iron casting, and painting, known as the "Seven Wonders of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall".
