The reasons why Xiao’s ancestral hall cannot be named include historical reasons, ancestral hall regulations, and cultural relic protection. Historical reasons: The Xiao Ancestral Hall was built in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the social atmosphere was relatively conservative. Some ancestral halls stipulated that names could not be changed or added at will. Therefore, it may have been stipulated that names could not be given when they were built.
1. Ancestral Hall Regulations: Some ancestral hall buildings themselves stipulate that names cannot be given, because ancestral halls are places for worshiping ancestors, and naming may be considered disrespectful to ancestors.
2. Cultural relic protection: The Xiao Ancestral Hall has a history of hundreds of years and is considered a cultural heritage. In order to protect its historical value and cultural heritage, no changes, including naming, may be allowed.
