Evolution of construction management

Xielu villa is located in Xielu village, Wushi Town, 24 kilometers southwest of Luchuan county. It is known as one of the four private manors in China. Xielu mountain villa, formerly known as Shuren academy, was built in 1921 and took seven years to complete. It is said that the owner of the villa has a collection of tens of thousands of books. The purpose of building the academy is to promote the spirit of Confucianism and the way of Confucius and Mencius. Later, it was set as a key cultural relic protection unit and a national key tourist attraction by the autonomous region. The Academy was renamed Xielu mountain villa and Xielu garden. In 1988, Xielu mountain villa was designated as a scenic spot of the autonomous region.

In 2013, Xielu villa was listed in the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

It is located in zhaizitun, Xielu village, Wushi Town, south of Luchuan County, more than 20 kilometers away from Luchuan county. It covers an area of 1 square kilometer. Originally known as Shuren bookstore, but also because of the variety of flowers in the garden, also known as Xie Lu garden, in 1980 renamed Xie Lu villa.

The villa was built in 1920, which took seven years to complete. The Lingnan style garden villa, formerly the major general LV chunguan (taro Nong) of the Kuomintang, is a famous private garden. In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, Li Zongren visited the villa.

After liberation, the villa was nationalized. In 1980, it was renamed "Xielu villa" and opened to the outside world. In 1994, it was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Now it is managed and used by Xielu villa management office.

The departments in charge of cultural relics at all levels attach great importance to the protection of cultural relics in Xielu mountain villa, especially in recent years. In 2003, the county government held a special meeting, and decided to allocate 40000 yuan from the finance every year for the maintenance of the villa, and extract 10% from the entrance ticket revenue of the villa as the daily maintenance of the cultural relics. In 2006, the Department of culture of the autonomous region approved the overall maintenance plan of the mountain villa made by the cultural relics team of the autonomous region, and allocated 300000 yuan. From January to June 2007, the cultural relics team of the autonomous region carried out emergency repair on the collapse parts of the mountain gate, wall, corridor, yinglu, huyinxuan, shuibaoshanhuan, etc. In 2009, the Department of culture of the autonomous region allocated 100000 yuan for the maintenance of the promenade of Liumo Pavilion. In recent years, a large amount of money has been invested to protect it, which makes it possible to preserve it completely.

The appearance of the villa is similar to that of ordinary farmhouses, while the houses in the villa are built according to the mountain and the scenery is set according to the land; all the buildings are small and popular with brick walls and roofs. The villa is divided into three levels: langhuanfudi, Qianshan and Houshan.

On the front is the entrance to the central area of the villa, which reads "Lang Huan Fu Di".

Huyinxuan is located in the center of the villa. A simple brick bungalow is in the middle. There is an eyeglass pond at the bottom and a purse pond at the top. The shape of the house is like a boat moored in the lake, so it is called "Hu Yin Xuan", also known as "boat hall".

There is a plaque of "Shuren hall" above the main door, and there are shade trees beside the attic. Downstairs is the schoolboy's classroom and the teacher's bedroom. On both sides of the door, there is a pair of couplets: "flowers and lust are in the fairy half Pavilion, and the sound of books is often accompanied by the third shift of the moon." The pavilion is a place to collect books, including Wanyou Wenku, twenty four histories, four books, five classics, Sanfen wudian, Basuo jiuqiu, Zhuzi Baijia and other books, as well as history, nature, architectural engineering, metallurgy and casting, art and other books, as well as celebrity calligraphy and painting.

Usually, it can be used to raise fish and grow lotus to prevent drought; when it rains heavily, it can also contain excess water to prevent flood.

The couplet is: "Qionghai on the left and Dianchi Lake on the right, which is in the southwest of China. It not only has Cangwu on the ground and goulou on the mountains, but also has bamboo eaves, colorful trees and beautiful scenery. However, it is fond of releasing cranes from the edge of plum trees and listening to warblers outside willows."

In addition to the "langhuanfudi" gate and "hanxiaolu" gate, which are arch type empty doors, and the "yaoyunzhujing" gate, which are made of rocks, the remaining nine gates are brick and tile structures.
