Among the ancestral halls in Phoenix, those of the Tian and Yang clans are the largest, and the Yang family ancestral hall is also the best-protected ancestral hall in Phoenix City. The ancestral hall is located between the East Gate Tower and the North Gate Tower in Tuojiang Town, the ancient city, at the entrance of Shijia Lane on Beibian Street. The hall covers an area of ​​770 square meters. The Crown Prince and Tutor Yang Fang, Marquis of Guoyong, led their clan members to start building the temple in the 16th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1836 AD). The Yang family was originally from a famous family, so the scale of the ancestral hall building is no less than that of ordinary temples. The Yang family believes in Feng Shui and opens the door slantedly, facing the Tuojiang River. This can make the ancestral business prosperous and prosperous for eternity, just like the endless supply of water from the Tuojiang River. Entering the gate, you can see the cow head on the second door and the bat wood carving on the door. The ancestral hall is a typical courtyard building with a wooden structure and two floors. It is composed of a gate, a stage, a hall, a gallery, and a main hall. The Yang Family Ancestral Hall was once a public place for listening to books and watching plays in Phoenix City. Huang Yongyu and other Phoenix celebrities often watched plays here when they were young, and stayed there while the elders of the family watched on the corridors on both sides of the second floor. When the opera was being performed, the gongs and drums were noisy, and it was very lively and prosperous for a while. Today, the corridors on both sides of the ancestral hall have become small exhibition halls for Miao daily necessities and handicrafts. At the same time, in order to carry forward and inherit the ancient folk art of Fenghuang, wonderful folk dramas (Wencha) will be performed every day on the ancient stage of the Yang Family Ancestral Hall. Lanterns, Yang opera, etc.).
