Overview

Green bricks and gray tiles hide ancient charm, and carved beams and painted rafters contain ingenuity! Come to Huguang Guild Hall and step into the elegance of the Ming and Qing Dynasties It was first built in the 24th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1759 AD) and expanded during the Daoguang period. It is the product of the "Huguang Filling Sichuan" immigration wave during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, chambers of commerce from various provinces established guild halls in the city to protect the interests of fellow villagers and connect with each other. The overall building is built on a mountain, which inherits the typical architectural styles of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, and the Jiangnan area, and also integrates the traditional architectural features of Chongqing. The courtyard layout is adopted, and the layered firewalls are a major feature. The wood carvings, stone carvings, and brick carvings of the guild hall are exquisite, and the themes are mostly taken from character stories such as "Journey to the West" and "The West Chamber", as well as patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, flowers, and plants. It includes three main buildings: Yuwang Palace, Qi'an Guild Hall and Guangdong Guild Hall. Yuwang Palace was built to commemorate Dayu, and the main hall is a double-eave hip-and-gable building; Qi'an Guild Hall is dedicated to Emperor Zhu, and there is a well-preserved stage inside, which is the location of the intangible cultural heritage performance of "Drunk Bayu"; Guangdong Guild Hall is a courtyard-style building. The stage is decorated with relief carvings. The mysterious face-changing, the passionate echoes of the horns, and the simple and elegant dance of "Drunk Bayu" allow you to experience the unique charm of Bayu culture up close.
