Why is Ganxi's former residence a door in and a door out?

Ganxi's former residence is called Ganxi's former residence, which has "ninety-nine and a half rooms" but only one entrance. Speaking of Gan, this person is not famous, but the Gan family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the family development is extremely prosperous. This house was originally built by Gan's father. Gan spent a long time here and became a local historian in the Qing Dynasty.

Although Gan is not famous in history, the preserved mansion is the first private mansion in Nanjing, and its scale is extremely huge. It is located on the edge of Zhongshan South Road in Qinhuai District. Now the remaining ancient buildings cover an area of 9,500 square meters. In addition to the ancient buildings, modern buildings such as museums have been added, with an overall area of 2 1000 square meters. Just look at the area, you can feel the luxury of this private mansion.

Ganfu was finally built through the efforts of several generations of Ganfu family. The courtyard combination is relatively loose, but the arrangement of houses is very strict. At first glance, it is basically neat. The whole mansion has "ninety-nine and a half rooms", which is famous not only in Nanjing, but also in the whole country. The architectural style of the mansion is a typical Jiangnan residential style, all with blue bricks and white walls, and the walls are horsehead walls.

Because it is an ancient building that has been repaired on a large scale, it has excellent ornamental value, especially the white wall feels a little white and shiny. The most interesting thing about the building in the mansion is all kinds of pane decorations, which are very small and elegant, with hollowed-out and carved designs and all kinds of carvings. After all, it is a mansion of ancient aristocratic families, and it is very particular about family wealth and children's home. Architectural pattern design or small decoration embodies these ideas everywhere.

Ninety-nine and a half rooms have their own styles, some serious, some lively, some elegant, especially the walls, tiles, floors, wood carvings, stone carvings and other contents, and are known as "folk treasures". Although there is only one entrance to Gan Mansion, it has a unique flavor of life and charm of water town.
