Hunan Guild Hall in Hezhou, Guangxi.

Built in 1861, the 11th year of the Xianfeng reign in the Qing Dynasty, the Hunan Guild Hall in Hezhou covers an area of 1,500 square meters. It is a north-facing structure with a hard mountain roof made of brick and wood. The central axis consists of the front hall, the middle pavilion (with corridors on both sides), and the back hall. The ridges of the front and back halls are decorated with gray sculptures of artistic images such as Chaofeng, Chiwen, and Bogu, which are magnificent and spectacular. The facade wall is inlaid with multiple stone relief patterns, depicting mythological stories such as Dayu Controlling the Waters and Nezha Conquering the Dragon King, accompanied by decorative patterns of dragons and lions. The back hall's altar enshrines the statue of King Yu (Xia Yu). All the beams and bracket components (wooden) in the front and back halls are adorned with relief carvings of character stories, flowers, birds, fish, insects, and various exquisite geometric patterns. The "middle pavilion" is actually a large pavilion built in the courtyard, supported by four large columns with bracket sets, featuring a hip-and-gable roof with four slopes. The overall structure is grand and magnificent, with a unique form, possessing high historical and artistic value. The Hunan Guild Hall in Huangtian is a crystallization of the cultural integration of Hunan, Guangxi, Chu, and Yue. It is a key cultural relic protection unit in Guangxi.
