The shape of Hongcun as a whole is like that of an ox. Yuezhao is the stomach of the ox and is located in the middle of the ancient village. Yuezhao was excavated during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. The white walls, black tiles and horsehead walls of the surrounding ancient Huizhou architecture are reflected in it, and beautiful photos can be taken. At night, the ancient buildings are lit up. The lamplight and moonlight fluctuate together in the pool, and the scenery is also very beautiful. In the middle of the north bank of Yuezhao is the Lexu Hall of the ancestral temple. Most of the residents in Hongcun are surnamed Wang, so it is also called the Wang’s Ancestral Temple. All the other houses in the village are from the Qing Dynasty. Only Lexu Hall is from the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the complexity of buildings in the Qing Dynasty, buildings in the Ming Dynasty are more simple. On the west side of the north side of Yuezhao, there is also the Jingxiu Hall built in the Qing Dynasty. When visiting Yuezhao, you can go and have a look along the way.
