Guangdong Guild Hall has been turned into Tianjin Drama Museum, located in the center of Tianjin Old City, Nanmenli Street, Nankai District. The site was officially completed in the first month of the 33rd year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1907), and was initiated by Tang Shaoyi, the then Tianjin Customs Commissioner. It is a gathering and accommodation institution established by Guangdong people in Tianjin. Guangdong Guild Hall, located in the south of Drum Tower in the old city of Tianjin, is the most complete and largest Qing Dynasty guild hall building preserved in Tianjin. It not only reflects the architectural style of Lingnan in my country, but also embodies the hardships of Guangdong people living in Tianjin in starting their own businesses. The guild hall is like a large quadrangle, with bricks, tiles and wood mostly purchased from Guangdong. The gate is grand, the Luohan gable is tall, the halls are all covered with corridors, and the interior decoration is gorgeous, with Lingnan characteristics.

Philosophy related to the heritage
As a carrier of culture and history, the Guangdong Guild Hall in Tianjin can be interpreted from different perspectives of Eastern philosophy and Western philosophy. From the perspective of Eastern philosophy, especially Confucianism and Taoism, the Guangdong Guild Hall is not only a functional building, but also carries a deep family and regional culture. In Confucianism, the harmony of family and group is regarded as the foundation of society. As a gathering place for ethnic groups, the Guangdong Guild Hall embodies the spirit of "benevolence" and "etiquette". It is the spiritual home of family members and fellow villagers, emphasizing the respect and inheritance of traditions, ancestors and communities. In addition, based on the Taoist concept of "ruling by doing nothing", the design of the Guangdong Guild Hall often incorporates natural elements and emphasizes harmonious coexistence with nature. From the perspective of Western philosophy, especially from the perspective of individualism and structuralism, the Guangdong Guild Hall is not only a collective space, but also reflects the deep-level operation of power and social structure. Western philosophy emphasizes the relationship between individuals and collectives and the role of social systems. As a component of social structure, the Guangdong Guild Hall shows how cultural identity and group belonging are formed in a specific historical context. At the same time, the building itself may also convey a distribution of power and class division through its design and symbolic meaning. The comparison between the two reveals different philosophical reflections of different cultures on architecture, community and individuals.
