Sun Yat-sen was born on November 12, 1866 at Cuiheng Village of Guangdong province. He was the forerunner of China's revolution against the Qing government.
This ancestral temple was built between 1890 and 1894 during the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing dynasty, and is the largest, best preserved, and best decorated ancient architecture existing in Guangdong province. It was built with donations of the Chen family then spread in 72 counties in Guangdong province.
