Qin Family Ancestral Hall 秦ζ°ζ―η₯ is a complex of Republican-era buildings located in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China. Construction of the complex began in 1923 and was completed in 1925. The Qin Family Ancestral Hall covers a total area of ββnearly 2,000 square meters; its construction entailed an expenditure of over 200,000 taels of silver. The complex integrates the distinctive Ningbo artistic traditions of vermilion-and-gold wood carving, stone carving, and brick carving.
In 2001, the Qin Family Ancestral Hall was designated a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level. It was the first ancestral shrine in the Ningbo region to receive this national-level designation.
