Interpretation of 500 Former Residence of Chen Cihuang

At this moment, what is presented to me is a tall and majestic castle-like building. The black and gray walls form a unique and interesting landscape. You can tell at a glance that this building has been weathered for a hundred years. This is the famous former residence of Chen Cihuang.

As soon as you enter the gate, you can see the big square with antique houses built on both sides. Its basic structure, wood carving and stone carving in the house are mainly in the form of traditional architecture in China. The balcony and corridor overpass on the second floor are made of slate cement. Painted porcelain floors and decorations and large windows imported from Europe adopt western architectural technology. There are many windows in Chen Cihuang's house. It is said that Chen Cihuang's family used to have a servant who specialized in opening and closing windows. Every morning, he gets up and opens the windows, opens all the windows, and then starts to close them. When all the windows were closed, it was dark. It can be seen how many windows Chen Cihuang has in his house. The number of houses is evident.

Chen Cihuang's family has 506 rooms. The design features of doors and windows include the customs and architectural features of western and Southeast Asian countries, and the decorative wall tiles of Southeast Asian countries are pasted in the former residence. Really simple and elegant!

Chen Cihuang's former residence is a place with special architectural style and characteristics. This activity made me understand the architectural knowledge and architectural style in Chaoshan.
