On this day, 94 years ago, on June 9, 1931 (April 24, 1931, the lunar calendar), Du Yuesheng held a grand ceremony for the inauguration of the ancestral temple. In early 1930, Du Yuesheng broke ground to build an ancestral hall in Gaoqiao's hometown (now Dujia Garden, Shenjia Lane, Gaodong Township), which was completed in May 1931. The house of the ancestral temple has five bays and three entrances. The third entrance is the main hall, and the second entrance is the place where the memorial tablets of the "gods" of the Du family are worshipped. In front of the gate are two stone lions. On June 9-10, 1931, Du Yuesheng held the inauguration ceremony of the ancestral temple, which caused a sensation in Shanghai Beach. Du Yuesheng, a "famous person on the sea", lived in Gaoqiao, Pudong, Shanghai. After making his fortune, an ancestral temple was specially built to show his glory to his ancestors. The entire building is spacious, elegant and magnificent. Mr. Feng Shui also asked Mr. Feng Shui to choose June 10 as the auspicious day to worship the "Lord" in the temple. Plaques, couplets, congratulatory messages, and gifts sent from all over the country piled up like mountains. Almost all the large and medium hotels in Shanghai were filled with guests from all over the country. On the 9th, a grand parade was held to "send off the master" across the river. Du Yuesheng organized a wonderful guard of honor, opening the way with dozens of Kuomintang party flags and the big flag with the character "Du". The long procession started with Chiang Kai-shek's plaque of "Filial Piety and Thinking", and followed by eulogy. The inauguration ceremony of Du Temple was held in early June 1931, which alarmed dignitaries in the government and the public, celebrities and foreign officials and businessmen in the concession. In addition to presenting a large plaque reading "filial piety and thoughtfulness" in the name of Commander-in-Chief, Chiang Kai-shek also sent a congratulatory message in the name of "Chairman" and sent Yang Hu, a soldier, as a representative, to attend the ceremony to read the eulogy. Many dignitaries from the government and the government sent plaques. The plaque presented by Yu Youren was titled "Long History", Zhang Xueliang was presented "Courage for Righteousness", Wu Peifu presented a gold plaque of "Arsenal Aristocratic Family", praising Du Yuesheng as a descendant of Du Yu, a famous Jin Dynasty famous general. Duan Qirui and the then Panchen Lama also presented plaques. The entire guard of honor was no less than five to six thousand people, which was huge and extremely lively. On the 10th, a ceremony to worship the Lord into the temple was held. More than 10,000 people, including representatives of the National Government, political dignitaries, industrial and commercial giants, gang leaders, leading figures from all walks of life and foreign envoys, attended the ceremony. The scene was grand. As soon as the ceremony of honoring the Lord ended, Yuxing began. Du Yuesheng specially invited famous actors in the northern and southern Peking Opera circles Mei Lanfang, Cheng Yanqiu and Shang Xiaoyun to perform. Many dignitaries from the party, government, military, gentry, and business in Nanjing and Shanghai attended the ceremony and respectfully presented the gods into the temple. Jin Shuren, chairman of Xinjiang who is far away from the border, also came to participate. Among the foreigners are the Consul General and Consul of the French Concession, the Chief Inspector of the French Constable, the Consul General of Japan, and the Commander of the Japanese Army in Shanghai. At that time, those presiding over the preparations for the celebration were General Affairs Directors Yu Qiaqing and Huang Jinrong, Theater Affairs Director Zhang Xiaolin, Health Directors Wang Xiaolai and Pang Jingzhou, Reception Director Yuan Lideng, etc. According to a Shanghai newspaper report on June 10, 1931: Starting from 7 a.m. on the 9th, various ceremonial ceremonies were everywhere along Songshan Road and Huagenie Road in the French Concession, flags were flying and gold medals were lined up. At 9 o'clock, six guard of honor set out from "Du Gongguan", passed south through Limei Road, turned east to Kaizier Road (now Jinling Middle Road), turned to Gongguan Road (now Jinling East Road) and headed south to Laoximen, from Xiaodongmen Street to Jinliyuan Wharf. Then board a dozen specially prepared steam turbines and sail straight to the high bridge. After landing, cars and rickshaws connected each other, the sound of firecrackers roared endlessly, and there were tall archways built on the dock. The guard of honor lasted for several miles, including all the personnel of the Political Department of the French Concession, the British cavalry patrols of the Public Concession, and the French, Chinese, Vietnamese and Ministry of Industry Bureau military bands of the French Concession. There are also the Shanghai Garrison Command, the Public Security Bureau Band, various charity organizations, and the Shanghai Navy Band. The newspaper also pointed out in particular that China's armed military police were never allowed to pass through the concession, but that day they lined up and were fully armed and passed through. It is said that this was a "big funeral" that Shanghainese had never seen in the past century since Shanghai was opened. In front of the Du Temple, a five-story colorful archway is erected. Around the ancestral temple, more than 100 tall mat sheds are erected, which can set up more than 200 tables. According to newspapers, on the 9th, there were more than 10,000 guests and the banquet was held in three times. Many people were still unable to attend. A total of three days were celebrated. The most sensational thing in the country was that 6 hall operas were performed day and night in three days, all of which were Peking Opera. At that time, it was the golden age of Peking Opera. The "Four Famous Danes" and "Four Great Kundan", founders and representatives of various genres of senior students such as Ma Lianliang, Tan Fuying, Yan Jupeng, etc., were all invited. In addition, famous actors and famous ticket friends from Shanghai, there were 6 plays in three days, almost all of which were "rare to hear in the world."
