This residential building is a unique “eight-character gate” and faces a screen wall. Zhaobi is the wall in front of the gate, also known as Xiaoqiang. , usually built in the yard. But in Wuyuan, Xiao Qiang is built outside the door. Because the locals regard the sky as their courtyard and the mountains and rivers in front of their doors as their courtyard, they build Xiao Qiang at the gate. The functions of Xiaoqiang are generally to ward off evil spirits, block wind and sound insulation. The word “福” written on the screen wall of some houses means “opening the door will bring good fortune”. This folk house was built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The carvings on the gatehouse are also very detailed. After entering the house, you can find that this billboard is unusual. It is very long, more than 4 meters long. This is considered the longest among the existing ancient buildings in Wuyuan. It is rare. In addition, this house originally had thirty-six corners and four patios. From this, we can see the wealth of the owner of the house.
