Tech brings heritage to life (12.2.2017)
Built in the Qing dynasty by the Tang clan of Ping Shan, the Tang Ancestral Hall in Yuen Long boasts two internal courtyards dotted with wooden plaques embossed with big golden Chinese characters.
The majestic structure has been used by the Tang clan for traditional ceremonies like celebratory lantern lighting after the birth of a son.
With such age-old rituals still being conducted in the hall, it bears witness to the evolution of both the Tang clan and Yuen Long.
The Tang Ancestral Hall is among the antique structures featured in the “Reminiscences: Life in Hong Kong's Built Heritage” exhibition, presented by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department and organised by the Antiquities & Monuments Office.
Immersive experience
Through the use of augmented reality and laser scanning technology, historic landmarks like the Tang Ancestral Hall are recreated in 3D displays, giving the audience an immersive experience.
The show also features more than 50 exhibits, including the bishop’s throne at St John's Cathedral, the door lock and key of Victoria Prison in Central, and Hong Kong's oldest pawn shop signboard from the Chun Yuen Pawn House in Yuen Long Old Market - the oldest pawn shop in Hong Kong still in business today.
The well-preserved heritage on display in the exhibition shows the painstaking effort put into conserving Hong Kong's relics amid rapid urban development.
Witnesses to history
To help visitors better understand how Hong Kong’s architectural styles have evolved over the past century, the expo features a display chronicling the love story of character couple Mary and Ying-wo, whose lives are interwoven with those of local historical landmarks.
Mary prays at St Andrew's Church in Tsim Sha Tsui and studies at Maryknoll Convent School in Kowloon City.
Ying-wo learns from his village elders that Cheung Chun Yuen in Kam Tin is a martial arts training school.
Antiquities & Monuments Office Assistant Curator Terence Ng said Cheung Chun Yuen was established in the mid-19th century.
It was one of the few study halls in Hong Kong training youths for the imperial military examinations.
Interactive exhibits
In addition to the story of Mary and Ying-wo, the show also features hi-tech interactive exhibits to help visitors learn more about the architectural features of antique buildings.
Laser scanning technology is used to create 3D mock-ups of the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower and the Tang Ancestral Hall.
Used originally for relic repairs, the technology scans the structure, collects the data and recreates a 3D model which is then projected onto a screen at the exhibition.
Antiquities & Monuments Office Land Surveyor Henry Kwok said the technology creates an immersive experience.
Visitors can see the plaques decorating the Tang Ancestral Hall up close. They can see the hollowed-out design of the plaque frame and the delicate dragon head embellishing the top of the frame.
Besides 3D laser scanning, augmented reality technology is also used.
Artefacts from history books pop up on tablet computers, allowing visitors to study the relics from different angles.
The exhibition is one of the events celebrating the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
It is being held at the Heritage Discovery Centre in Kowloon Park until May 1. (
Drizzy Day in Hong Kong & Liu Man Shek Tong Ancestral Hall
Drizzy Day in Hong Kong.
I Think I Write a Vlog & Podcast.
Today reminds me of an old Helen Reddy Song I Think I'll Write A Song.
The song was written by Australian Singer, Actor and Activist Helen Reddy herself about a foggy day in LA, and trying to write a song while being constantly interrupted, feeding the baby, and saying farewell to a friend.
I have so much to do; top brand & MNC old clients to meet; my favorite Hong Kong dishes to savor at all new places in Sheung Shui & Fanling as well as my old favorite Outlets all over such as Causeway Bay, Wanchai, and Cheung Chau where I use to live; my God-Daughter's first baby girl to hug (but she asked me to wait - too busy caring for her baby and work just like the song says); my third brother’s birthday tomorrow to celebrate; Shenzhen & Macau to visit...
But this morning feels cold and wet… maybe I stay at home, sweet, home in a Sheung Shui Wai Village where Liu Man Shek Tong Ancestral Hall is (“Liu” or “Liao” 廖in Mandarin).
The five clans of Hau, Tang (Yuen Long), Pang, Liu and Man were Chinese from Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi who lived mostly in the New Territories and eventually became Punti speakers.

They are used to imitate the appearance of objects used by the living - including Wii controllers, iPads and electric guitars - and then burned as an offering. In this episode of our Uniquely Hong Kong series, we explore the craft with an effigy-making master who tells us about his most extravagant client request.

Ancestral Hall of the Chen Clan Guangzhou City China
just look for your guidebook closely ....in every city or town or historic places tour we will find several list of local ancestral hall or family clan hall or the past richest family who control both economic and political power in the ancient time . Now those power and privilege had gone but their art and architecture still stands and mostly renovate and serves as local museum like this one in Guangzhou.
If look closely to the Chen Clan buildings complex here you can see this is not just an ordinary Ancestral Hall but can adapt to build a small fortress if needed arise.
香港沙田萬佛寺登山遊路線全紀錄-佛曲粵語解述2017Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery
萬佛寺Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery位於香港沙田區排頭村萬佛山上，由月溪法師在1949年建設，於1957年落成，寺院佔地65,000平方呎，依山就勢，分成高低兩組建築群，共有5殿4亭1廊及1塔。1938年月溪法師離開廣州到香港沙田弘法，並開始籌備興建萬佛寺。1949年香港著名菸草商人南洋兄弟菸草公司簡玉階將私產「晦思園」捐贈建寺。月溪法師事必躬親，擔鐵運石，親手塑造佛像萬餘尊，歷時八載，於1957年建成萬佛寺，自此成為香港著名觀光熱點。1982年萬佛寺開始進行局部性的翻新及重建工程，包括重建韋馱亭、觀音亭及十八羅漢廊，翻新萬佛寺和萬佛塔。並為各尊像鋪上金箔及掃油漆。可惜於1997年7月，萬佛寺被暴雨嚴重沖毀，其中玉皇殿及觀音殿倒塌，由於損毀嚴重而被迫一度關閉，經過兩年重修，才能局部重新開放，更由私人寺院改為公眾所有的非牟利團體「沙田萬佛寺有限公司」負責管理。於2000年開展工程，在室外放置500具真人大小的金羅漢像。
月溪法師生於1879年，祖籍浙江錢塘，後遷雲南，俗姓吳，諱心圓，字月溪，生於富裕家庭，肄業於上海震旦大學，19歲毅然出家，禮靜安老和尚剃度受具戒，於佛前燃左無名指及小二指，在胸前肉上燃起四十八盞燈供奉在佛像面前。月溪法師性喜游，善七弦琴，游必擕琴隨身，到處講經說法，踏遍名山大川。九一八事變後，月溪法師南下廣州弘法，並重修大佛寺。1965年4月24日月溪法師準備講《圓覺經》，突感壽緣已盡，當晚8時，端坐圓寂，住世87載。弟子將法體封龕入土，8個月後，遵照法師生前囑咐撥土開龕，即見其肉身不化，五官俱全，整體呈金黃色。並依遺示以紅布包裹肉身並加漆鋪金，作肉身菩薩，供奉於寺中的「彌陀殿」，後於2001年初移往「萬佛殿」安奉。月溪法師警語:
人命無常，過於山水，今日雖存，明亦難保。念念不停，尤如奔馬，馬到崖前，收韁恐晚。是日已過，命亦隨減，如少水魚，斯有何樂？今生不將此生度，更向何生度此生。一口氣不來，惟有業隨身。生時不帶一文來，死時不帶一文去。努力今生須了卻，更莫屢劫受餘殃。不受一番寒徹骨，恁得梅花撲鼻香。拼著一條窮性命，銀牆鐵壁亦要穿。身到半山須努力，要登崖頂莫辭勞。念佛之念既真，了悟之心必至。念佛無秘訣，只要生死切。但辦肯心，決不相謙（賺）。念到半途須努力，要想成佛莫辭勞。釋迦不是天生，達摩亦非自證。心心相續，不自放逸。修行若遇真師友，敢保功夫一世休。無量劫的生死，要他和盤托出。修行本分大事，不是說了便休。假如今生不得念佛三昧，縱使骨枯髓乾，終不放捨。爾不在這裏磨礱，修行志氣，抖擻精神，一往直前，以求解脫。蒼天渺渺，大地茫茫，生死不了，如何問心？研窮法理，以悟為則。至道無難，唯嫌揀擇。惟守一法，然後見心。制心一處，無事不辦。百折千磨，終不退悔。受盡辛苦，惟道為是。千磨萬難，益勵精勤。臨渴掘井，時間不待。閑時辦，可待臨終日。身既到了寶山，切莫空手而歸。法無正像末三時之等差，人何上中下三根之端的。惟知近學之弗荒，不擬真功之自績。
Ep.27-Ancestral Halls in China -- BONTV
The ancestral hall of the Xiang family(项氏祠堂) has just been confirmed as being built more than 500 years ago. It is the only well preserved ancestral hall in Daye(大冶) in Hunan province.
Ancestral halls are used by large families for ancestor worship. They're also the location of weddings, funerals, birthdays and for celebrating festivals. The glazed tiles along the eaves have been caved into vivid patterns of flowers, birds and dragons. The hall has 2 plaques, with the first reading The tomb of the Xiang family's earliest ancestor.
Interview: 柯小杰 Ke Xiao Jie, male, curator of Daye Cultural Centre
The stage and the lighting of the courtyard are very special. The style of architecture as a whole, is quite unique, especially the design of combining the courtyard and stage as one.
Based on the architectural style and the genealogy records, we estimate that the ancestral hall was built during Ming Dynasty. It has been destroyed several times during different war periods and then rebuilt several times during the last few hundred years.
The whole building is 460 sq meters, and the section first built in the Ming Dynasty is 106sq meters. The Xiang family is said to have settled in Daye about 600 years ago. This was when the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown and replaced by the Ming Dynasty. Some speculate that the family may have fled to Daye to escape the war and then built the ancestral hall.
