Huangtian Stage in Hezhou, Guangxi.

Huangtian Stage was built in the 11th year of the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1861), renovated in the 6th year of the Republic of China, and renovated again in 1992. It is an affiliated building of the Hunan Guild Hall, built by Hunan merchants who came to Hezhou to do business to facilitate fellow villagers or fellow merchants to connect with their hometowns, hold gatherings, and meet. The stage faces north, covering an area of about 101 square meters, with a "凸" shape, divided into a front stage and a backstage. The height from the ground to the top of the ridge is 9.28 meters, the height from the ground to the stage floor is 2.01 meters, and there are three board doors on the back eaves wall. The main structure of the stage is a beam structure, with a hipped roof, green glazed tile roof, and a pair of fish on the ridge. The eaves of the front stage are covered with a shed, and the middle is decorated with a caisson; the backstage is a hard mountain beam, with two beam frames in the middle, and a fire wall. The front stage and the backstage are separated by wooden partition walls and wooden windows. As part of the Hunan Guild Hall, Huangtian Stage is used for important ceremonies and festivals, not only to worship gods and pray for blessings but also to connect with fellow villagers. In the long history, the people of Hunan brought the custom of worshiping Dayu to this place, which has lasted for hundreds of years. Nowadays, during the Zhuang "Flower Festival" on the second day of the second lunar month, the local "Food Festival" and "Dayu's Birthday" and other festivals, the guild hall will welcome Hunan people who have migrated to Hezhou, where they hold theatrical performances, dragon and lion dances, and worship Dayu. It is a key cultural relic protection unit in Hezhou City.
