Ancient dwellings in kaijiatang

Kaijiatang ancient village is located in Xiarong village, Paishi Town, Yangxin County. Its name is kaijiatang, which is actually the Li family compound built by the Li family during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Following the instructions of the ancestors, the descendants of the Li family have formed a family building complex with three floors, three gates, 36 patios and 108 rooms, which is nearly 100 meters long and 20 meters wide. In 2012, it was listed in the list of Chinese traditional villages.

It's called kaijiatang, but there's no family with the surname of kaijiatang. "It's said that a long time ago, this place got its name because of the people surnamed Kan who lived here, and later moved to another place. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Li's family moved here and flourished. His descendants only built purlin in the base of the old house according to their ancestor tiandingjiakou. For hundreds of years, they have formed a family building complex with three floors, three gates, 36 patios and 108 rooms, which is more than 100 meters long and 20 meters wide. " Mayor Wei Yonghuo said.

According to Li's genealogy, Li huaichu, the ancestor of the Li family, moved here around 1580 from the Qing Dynasty in Ruichang, Jiangxi Province. In 1752, during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Li Kerui, a descendant of the seventh generation of the Li family, started his business by producing and trading tea and hemp. After that, he built the grand family compound.

The Li's courtyard, built on the mountain, faces south. There is a field in front of the gate, which extends 100 meters along the wall courtyard. The wall is more than 30 meters high. There are three or two stories of pavilions, surrounded by inner corridors between the floors. The external walls of the wing rooms have ventilation windows which are narrow inside and wide outside, long or flat outside, and can also be used as lookout or defense holes. The hundred meter wall courtyard has only three gates, the main gate and the bluestone door frame, which reads "Pangu Fengqing". The appearance of the house is the same as that of the flat ground. When you enter it, you can see that it is built according to the mountain and the floors overlap. The three gates on the third level of the main hall intersect with three horizontal corridors, and 108 wing rooms are inlaid between the three vertical and three horizontal grids.

According to Li's genealogy, Li Kerui lived for 85 years, and it took more than 50 years to build the house. The fire prevention, drainage and lighting of the 108 houses in Li's courtyard are unique in materials and ingenuity. The floor is paved with bluestone slabs, the purlin is laid on the hard gable, the big green brick is laid flat, the small green brick is poured on the wall, the beam frame and the wooden column are more than one foot in diameter, and the "wax gourd beam" with the micro arch in the middle of the beam can vaguely see the circular pattern carving. In the brick and wood structure, there is a brick fire wall in every five houses, which goes directly to the roof. Because it is shaped like a horse's head, it is commonly known as a horse's head wall. "In the villages where people live together, the density of residential buildings is relatively high, which is not conducive to fire prevention, and the high horse head wall can act as a partition of fire source in the case of fire in adjacent residential buildings, so horse head wall is not conducive to fire prevention
