Xiamei Beijiang Liu Family Ancestral Hall "Yongchang Hall"

The Liu Family Ancestral Hall is located in Beijiang Village, Xiamei Town, Zhangpu County. It was first built in the Qing Dynasty and has gone through hundreds of years. Although it has been repaired several times, it cannot withstand the erosion of time, wind and rain, and even the tiles and citrons have fallen over. , the ancestral hall is messy. If there are virtuous and filial people in the clan, they often discuss it in their spare time and choose the opportunity to improve it. It happened that the Yunxiao Sect personally communicated with each other in the Guisi year, and I sincerely encouraged them. Suihe clan made gold, dove work and materials, Suji started the groundbreaking, which lasted a hundred and twenty days, and was completed in the middle of the autumn of Jiawu.

It is reported that most of the surnames in Beijiang Village, Xiamei, are Lin, with a small number of Xu and Liu surnames (Liu She, the upper class of Daban Village, Chitu Township, Zuyuan).

Before the Ming Dynasty, Beijiang Village was originally a settlement of people with the surname Liu. In the first year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government implemented a border relocation policy. Residents within ten miles of the coast moved inward to isolate themselves from Zheng Chenggong's tribe. Liu People with the surname Chen, Cai and other minor surnames were ordered to move inland to other places. All the fields were deserted, the houses were demolished, and it became a no-man's land. After the restoration of the border in the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, only a small number of people returned to their hometown, and most of them surnamed Liu had settled in Houkeng Village, Yunxiao County.
