  The Study Hall of the Huang Clan, also known as the Ancestral Hall  Eryaxiang Community, Qiaoxi Sub-district, Huicheng District, Huizhou City. It is the ancestral hall of the Huang family from Guishan County (modern-day Huizhou), originally built in the 22nd year of the Daoguang reign (1842). The construction was funded through donations from descendants of the Huang family in Guishan County, Huizhou Prefecture. Later, it was repurposed as a study hall, serving as an educational space for the Huang family.
  The study hall faces southeast and follows a three-in-four-courtyard layout with a total area of about 1,000 square meters. The building features a hard ridge roof covered with gray slate tiles, trimmed with green glazed tiles at the edges. The walls are made of blue bricks. The main building spans 24 meters in width and 43.1 meters in depth. The Study Hall of the Huang Clan is one of the largest and most architecturally valuable ancient buildings still preserved in Huizhou, and it provides valuable physical evidence for studying the genealogy, distribution, and family rules of the Huang family from Guishan County.
  In July 2005, to showcase the traditional customs and regional cultural characteristics along the Dongjiang River, Huizhou City repurposed the Study Hall of the Huang Clan as the Dongjiang Folk Custom and Cultural Relics Museum.
  In December 2015, the Study Hall of the Huang Clan was designated as a Guangdong Provincial Cultural Relic Protection Unit.
