Yuan's Ancestral Temple, Ancestral temple in Ningbo, China.
The temple consists of a three-bay hall with stone columns, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements and symmetrical layout spanning multiple courtyards.
Yuan Chonghuan, a Ming dynasty military commander who defended Beijing against Manchu forces, was executed in 1630 following false accusations of treason.
The temple combines memorial functions with ancestral worship, displaying information about Yuan Chonghuan's military campaigns in dedicated exhibition rooms.
The temple underwent complete reconstruction in 1984 and additional renovations in 2006, making it accessible for visitors interested in Ming dynasty history.
Only Yuan Chonghuan's head remains in the tomb behind the main hall, retrieved and buried by a loyal aide after his execution.
