This ancient building in China is Guangerfu, located in Shiqiaotou Village, Xiba, Liantan Town, Yunan County, Guangdong Province, China. It is an excellent ancient residential building in Qingming, and the local residents call it the castle in Qing Dynasty. This building is completely different from the buildings in the north, a bit like a medieval castle in Europe. However, some people think that Guanger Mansion is an ordinary house. The appearance is majestic and tall, with a wall height of 13m and a roof height of 20m. In ancient times, such houses were designed to guard against theft and thieves.
Speaking of the name of the house, although it feels a little Japanese, it was built by China people and has nothing to do with the Japanese. The owner of Guangerfu is Qiu. Because he is the second child in the family, and he has no hair and is bald, he uses wide ears. Besides, the house was not built by professional knowledge, but it took him and his five sons 10 years to build it. I have to say it's really perseverance, but seeing what it looks like today, everything is worth it.
The area of the house is about 10 mu, which may not be very large for our north, but it is already a very large scale for Guangdong. Otherwise, it will not be known as the largest mansion in Guangdong. This house has 136 rooms, large and small * * *, and the color of the house is basically blue-gray, with a strong ancient flavor. The largest population here is 700, which shows that it is also a huge family.
The building functions here are very complete, including guest rooms, warehouses, halls, threshing floors and so on, which is very convenient. There seems to be a story behind any building. The second palace is no exception. It is said that in the thatched cottage where Guanger used to live, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and he and his mother almost died. From then on, he vowed to build a big house for his mother, so Guanger's big house was his mother's filial piety.
However, the house is located on the beach next to the South River, so it can't be submerged by the river once a year, but it doesn't matter, because in order to prevent the river from flooding, measures such as flood control and fire prevention were taken during the construction, and I really admire the wisdom of the owner. In addition, three boards can be inserted into the door of the house. Even if the river comes, it is difficult to break through the gate, so the people living in it are still very safe. This is the largest house in Guangdong. what do you think of it ? Welcome to leave a comment!
