【Xianyao Tanggong Temple】From an ancestral hall to a place of inheritance of Cantonese opera culture

#June2024 I had the honor of visiting the Xianyao Tanggong Temple in Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City, which is an unforgettable place. As a cultural protection unit in Zhuhai City, Xianyao Tanggong Temple carries rich historical and cultural connotations. Xianyao Tanggong Temple itself is a family temple. However, the current Xian Yao Tang Gong Temple has been revitalized into a Cantonese opera cultural heritage base - Yueyun Hall. As soon as I entered the ancestral hall, I was infected by its solemn and dignified atmosphere. The ancestral hall has a unique architectural style, full of traditional features and exquisite details. While visiting the Xianyao Tanggong Temple, I felt a strong traditional atmosphere. By visiting this magnificent ancestral hall, I have a deeper understanding of the importance of family continuity and cultural heritage. Overall, visiting the Xianyao Tanggong Temple in Zhuhai was an unforgettable experience. This ancient ancestral hall carries the history of the family and has also become a place for the inheritance of Cantonese opera culture. I appreciate Zhuhai’s work in cultural relics preservation and encourage more people to appreciate this building with profound historical heritage in person.
