A wood carving worth 100 million

Nigou Village has a long history, which can be traced back to the 22nd year of Yuan Shizu Zhiyuan (1285 AD), and it is a famous overseas Chinese village, cultural village, and old Soviet area in Puning City. Nigou Village is very large, with a registered population of more than 20,000, composed of 6 natural villages. Overlooking from the sky, there are continuous and uniform traditional Chaoshan residences everywhere, which is very shocking. No wonder it is known as one of the top ten most beautiful ancient villages in Guangdong. The ancestral hall culture of Nigou Village is developed, and the ancestral halls are spread all over the corners of the village, with various patterns, and there are 98 ancestral halls and public offices. In the Zhang's ancestral hall, we saw a large shrine worth over 100 million, which is full of exquisite Chaozhou wood carvings. The golden surface is not gold lacquer, but gold foil. The small bells and hanging bells on the wood carvings can still move, and the exquisite level is breathtaking. It is said that many years ago, a piece was borrowed by a certain museum for research and has not been returned yet. Nigou Village has a rich traditional historical culture and folk art, such as Yingge dance, Chaozhou big gong and drum, lantern riddles, literary and artistic performances, the 21st of the first month "Zouzi Meeting", Sanwangye You Shen, eating peace porridge (fish porridge) on the evening of August 14th, etc. Puning Yingge Dance is listed as intangible cultural heritage, and Nigou Village is the "hometown of Yingge Dance", and there will be wonderful Yingge Dance performances during festivals.
