Zhang Shiming Memorial Residence

The house of the big family in Nanxun Ancient Town makes you unimaginable. The combination of Chinese and Western proves that the strength is strong, and the tickets are not expensive. Unfortunately, it has not been developed all of them, otherwise it will be bigger. Come to Nanxun and see it.

One of the four elephants in the south of the late Qing Dynasty and early Minchu, Zhang's long house Zhang Shiming's former residence can be called a model of the combination of east and west. The entire house sits west to east, and the periphery is a traditional Chinese architectural style. It is mainly a typical traditional hall style in the south of the Yangtze River, integrating European Renaissance European architecture. With exquisite brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings, glass carvings, you can enjoy the Zhang family collection of Wang Yuzhi, Dong Qichang, Zhao Meng 𫖯 and other calligraphy and painting monuments. In the flower hall, the carved screen of Dong Qichang, a calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, was displayed. When he looked up, he could see Kang You for the picture book: to suit his ambition. In the study, you can see Wu Changshuo writing the title here: Shi is Ju. Entering the interior hall, the wooden and stone parts of the building are exquisitely carved, and the windows are set with French diamond blue silver hand-painted glass, crystal clear and exquisite craftsmanship. It is said that there are only less than 200 pieces of glass in the world, except for 8 pieces in the Louvre in France, the rest are all in Zhang Shiming's old residence. There is a Yingde stone in the yard, which is shaped like an eagle and so it is called an eagle stone, and is known as the three famous stones in Nanxun. The West Building and the West Ballroom are a combination of Chinese and Western architecture. The facade is mainly in the form of baroque architecture, and the interior and the winding doors and windows have the form of Renaissance architecture. Two octagonal Doric columns outside the porch, the head mimics the Klins column, and the outside gate is made of Roman columns. The balcony upstairs uses iron flower railings from the French Louis period. The relief pattern combines European-style honeysuckle leaves and Chinese grape leaves, peony flowers for decoration. Walls and columns are used in large quantities

Zhang Shiming's old house, also known as Suidetang. It is located in the ancient Suixi in front of it, facing west and east, covering an area of 6500 square meters, with a construction area of 7,000 square meters, and 150 Chinese and Western buildings. It is a classic building of a combination of Chinese and Western buildings.

It's magnificent, and it still looks like it's not old.

The fun is average. It is possible to take a look for the first time. It used to be a pass, but now it has become a scenic spot to charge once, which is more reasonable. I want to see where to buy tickets.

Very good, it looks great inside

Compared with Zhang's old house, this building is a bit Western-style, and the overall style is somewhat similar to Shanghai's Shikumen bungalow building.
