Ridges decorated with pottery sculptures are commonly found in Lingnan traditional architecture which demonstrate the high relief carving art and aesthetic standard of the time. During Ming and Qing dynasties, pottery figurine ridges depicting historical stories and legendary tales extracted from Cantonese Opera were widely received by the people in the Lingnan region due to the popularity and development of Cantonese opera. The pottery ridges enhanced the artistic expression in ancestral halls and temples, thus becoming one of the main characteristics of Lingnan traditional architecture. Through this tour, participants will learn more about the pottery ridges.
