Covering an area of 18418_, the core area of the guild hall, as an industrial and commercial institution built in Chongqing by foreign officials and scholars during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, is the largest and best-preserved ancient guild hall complex in China.
311 years ago, the Great Migration Movement, represented by "Huguang filling Sichuan" and involving more than a dozen provinces, created Chongqing people's broad mind of tolerance, openness, unity and enterprising, and their personality characteristics of perseverance, courage, enthusiasm and honest and frank. Chongqing Huguang Guildhall not only remains the material culture of the Guildhall building, but also embodies the intangible culture of the immigrant spirit.

Huguang Guild Hall, also known as Yuwang Temple, Yuwang Palace and Chu Temple, is dedicated to King Dayu to prevent floods; Qi' an CCBA is also called the Emperor's Palace, and worships the Emperor (also called the Blessed Lord) to pray for happiness, auspiciousness and safety. Guangdong CCBA, also known as Nanhua Palace, is dedicated to Huineng, the ancestor of Nanhua. Immigrants from all provinces, mainly from Shanghai and Guangzhou, entered Bashu, and local beliefs also entered Sichuan with the immigrants, thus forming a unique folk belief pattern in Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty. In this period, the belief in Dayu in Bashu area also showed a unique phenomenon of "being born in Sichuan but worshiping Chu".
There are tens of thousands of carved works of art such as wood carving, stone carving and brick carving in the building of the guild hall, all of which are exquisitely carved and breathtaking. Before the restoration, there were a large number of sculptures in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the themes of which were mainly the stories of the Journey to the West, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the list of deities and the Twenty-four Filial Pieties, as well as the patterns of dragons and phoenixes, animals and various exotic flowers and grasses, which should be a kind of respect for the totem of immigrants in their hometown and an outstanding representative of the sculpture art in the south of China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
