Fuzhou silexian ancient house

Fuzhou silexian ancient house

Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong were the heyday of the feudal dynasty. Most of the larger ancient dwellings in Minqing County were built in these years. Since ancient times, there has been a folk saying: "four music houses in the six capitals, three foreign houses in the three capitals, and five Chinese houses in the five capitals.". Located in the north of Bandong plain, silequan was built in 1754, the 19th year of Qianlong reign of Qing Dynasty. It originally covers an area of 24500 square meters. Because of its grand scale, there was a nursery rhyme: "silequo, silequo, birds can't fly." For the sake of elegance, the scholar in Houcuo was renamed "Si Le Xuan".

The architectural features of Si Le CuO are four falling straight forward, seven columns and eight wind and fire walls. According to the main axis of symmetry, the middle is the main hall, and the left and right official rooms are three straight. The three official rooms and the wind fire wall are separated by 1 or 2 meters, which is called fire wall lane. In front of the courtyard on the left is a large courtyard. There are three academies on the left and right of the courtyard. In the middle is the hall of the Academy. On both sides are the study. Behind the academy is a small courtyard for the flower garden. There are three kitchens on the left and three on the right. There is a 4.5-meter cross street between erluo and sanluo, which leads to the left and right model houses. Beside the Fenghuo wall, there are two meter wide straight street SHUSHUI ditches, which lead to the four falls, forming a "+ +" shape with the cross street. There are four arched side doors under the Fenghuo wall of each luozhengcuo, leading to Zhijie. Outside the Zhijie street, a series of horizontal houses are built. The upper and lower model houses are separated by fire walls one meter thick and twelve meters high to prevent fire. According to the tradition, the left and right horizontal houses are built on the back of the fire wall. Waihengcuo is built in the opposite direction, facing hengcuo, forming a whole building around zhengcuo. A turret was built in each corner of the building, with narrow windows and gun holes to prevent bandits. The back door of the house is close to the wall, and an ancient camphor tree is planted on the left and right, with a chest circumference of 5 meters and a height of 18 meters. It looks like a canopy and is the same age as the house. There is an ancient well in erluo zuozhi street. The spring water is clear enough for the whole house. There are 13 main doors, screen room doors and back hall doors in the siluozhengcuo. The front line of the main door is vertical, the heavy door is open, and the Guangyuan hall is far-reaching and magnificent. The whole building is rich and rigorous, with oyster walls and tile houses, which form a huge complex.
