▲ The Wang’s Ancestral Hall in the Si’an Village Group, Yangkeng Village, Kengkou Township, Shexian County, began in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
It was a brick and wood structure with three entrances and five bays.
Now the middle and rear entrances collapsed, and the rear eaves of the Five Phoenix Building collapsed partially.
The local cultural relics bureau said that Wang’s Ancestral Hall belongs to “field cultural relics” not listed in the protection list and is a state-owned immovable cultural relic.

Article/Editorial On August 30, the Public Resources Trading Center of Huangshan City, Anhui Province, issued an announcement to transfer the Wang’s Ancestral Hall, which was originally managed by the government of Kengkou Township, She County.
After causing great controversy, the auction of the ancient ancestral hall component at the base price of 90840 yuan by the township government was stopped by the She County government recently.
Local officials said that because there are only one or two walls and some components left in the ancestral hall, and there is a risk of collapse at any time, they want to protect it by auction, “this is also a last resort”.
The government of Kengkou Township said that it was not clear about the state-owned nature of Wang’s ancestral temple before.

Ancestral halls, together with memorial archways and folk houses, are considered as the “three wonders” of Huizhou architecture.
Each ancestral hall records the evolution of local villages and the reproduction of clans, maintains the rural context, and is a valuable cultural landmark.
It is painful to tear down and auction such an important historical building.
However, “auction is for protection”, which is not tenable at all: ancient ancestral halls are immovable cultural relics, which have “roots”.
Once they are dismantled, even if they are “protected” in the most advanced museum, their historical and cultural values will inevitably be dissipated.
Wang’s Ancestral Hall is the epitome of the fate of Huizhou Ancestral Hall.
It is reported that when the third nationwide cultural relics census was carried out a few years ago, only 446 ancestral halls in Huangshan City were included in the census list.
That is to say, there are not less than 1000 folk ancestral halls outside the census list, which are basically in a state of self-perpetuation.
It is not clear whether the situation has improved, but according to the report, the situation is still worrying.

Huizhou ancient shrines are numerous and widely distributed, and it is difficult to protect them, but this is not the reason for the local government to shirk its responsibility.
The cultural relics bureau of the county concerned said that it was really difficult to rely on the financial resources of the government.
Although those ancient ancestral halls are cultural relics, they do not belong to cultural relics protection units, and there is no special appropriation for repair in the county and city, the difficulties may indeed exist.
However, some basic maintenance responsibilities should have been fulfilled.
It is not appropriate to say that “there is no money to repair”.
The old Huizhou capital area, including She County, is a relatively developed area in Anhui Province.
She County ranks among the top 100 cities in China’s tourism competitiveness.
According to media reports, the tourism revenue of She County reached 1.373 billion from February to March last year alone.
It is hard to say that the local government is too poor to squeeze out any money for the protection of Huizhou Ancient Ancestral Temple.

If you are afraid, some places will use short-term benefits to measure the necessity and urgency of protection: the protection of ancient shrines can bring tourism income, and the enthusiasm of protection will increase.
In reality, many well protected ancient shrines are mainly protected because they are labeled as celebrities.
However, those that are difficult to be developed as tourism resources are “neglected”.
The protection of Huizhou ancient shrines must abandon the utilitarian thinking, and should be able to ensure the best, and not give up easily until it is absolutely necessary.
For more than 1000 abandoned Huizhou ancient shrines, the government should come up with a repair and protection plan and arrange special repair funds every year.
The national and provincial finance may also provide support for the protection of Huizhou ancient shrines.
In addition to government investment, we should also expand channels to attract private funds.
Prior to that, Shunde, Guangdong Province, has made a related attempt.
By seeking cooperation organizations from the public and collecting protection plans for ancient temples, the government will grant the cooperation organizations the right to lease and operate historical buildings for a certain period of time, implement rent-free or set up to collect cheap funds, and set up special funds to support and subsidize.
Starting from the property right system, innovating the protection mechanism, activating and making good use of this historical building, may also be a feasible way to protect Huizhou ancient ancestral temple.
In the history of Huizhou, there are many talented people.
Huizhou people have a strong influence at home and abroad.
In fact, the protection of ancient shrines has a strong civil foundation.
If the government combines the protection of Huizhou ancient shrines with charity and the promotion of Huizhou culture, and combines the folk forces to renovate and transform Huizhou ancient shrines into community centers, cultural exhibition halls, libraries and other cultural facilities, so that more people can enthusiastically join in the ranks of “claiming” Huizhou ancient shrines, so that this rare cultural heritage can be protected, it will undoubtedly be of great value.
