"The ancestral halls carry villagers' collective memories and are an integral part of the village's history. We establish a museum in the Liang Clan Ancestral Hall, not only retaining its traditional functions but also giving it new cultural value. It is now a window to showcase the village's history and cultural heritage," said Liang Wanping, a member of the general Party branch of Chongkou Village.
