Approaching No.61 of Zengcuo Anshe, a typical ancestral hall with Minnan characteristics "Chuangchuitang" comes into view, but it is an exquisite coffee shop.

Xiamen Business Daily (Reporter Lin Xinjun intern Li Wenya) "is there the coolest cafe in China? it is actually opened in a very beautiful old ancestral hall!" A few days ago, someone reported on Weibo that she found the scene in Zeng's ancestral hall. "I personally resent it. I lack the respect I should have. Am I really that short of money?" Yesterday afternoon, the reporter visited the cafe located in the Zeng ancestral hall.

Thick ink and heavy color of the door god, Zhu lacquer painted gold ancestral tablets, hanging plaques, red lanterns, gold-edged red cloth incense case …... Approaching the No. 61 Zeng Cuo Guan she, a typical ancestral temple with the characteristics of southern Fujian, "Chuang Chui Tang", came into view. Taking a closer look at the interior, the ancestral hall is exquisitely decorated, with more than a dozen old-fashioned tables and chairs and meal plates on them. At this time, several guests were drinking coffee inside.

The reporter learned that this cafe has been open for more than two years. Because of the particularity of its location, it has been controversial since its opening.

"in the early days, a lot of people around scolded and laughed, but they still came after laughing." The waiter from Taiwan said. The purpose of their boss to open a shop is to publicize Zeng Cuoyi.

The reporter then contacted Mr. Zeng, the owner of the cafe, who said that the cafe was opened with the consent of the people in order to give everyone a place to relax. "this is a matter for our own family, and outsiders should not have the right to comment and interfere."

Yesterday, the reporter also visited the nearby villagers. A villager surnamed Zeng said, "my ancestors like to be lively, too!" The ancestral hall is desolate all the year round, and now it has become a cafe, which is very popular and very good. Some villagers object that the ancestral hall is a sacred place, "it is not dignified to turn it into a bustling cafe."
