The Jing'aitang, also known as Hu's Ancestral Hall, was built in the Ming Dynasty in the Wanli period, and has a history of more than 400 years, covering an area of about 1800 meters. The three words "Jing'aitang" both indicate that the brother's house should love each other, and also enlighten future generations to respect the old and love the young, and the people should respect each other. The name is very moral.
The township buildings here are also a major feature of Huizhou houses. In addition, Xidi villagers have many cultural relics, such as portraits, calligraphy and paintings, strip screens, wooden joints, ancient ceramics, ancient furniture, halls and so on. These cultural relics are furnished at home, which is more simple and elegant.
The view of the love hall is good and it is worth seeing.
