It was built in the late Qing Dynasty and expanded in the early Republic of China. It is the representative of the architectural style of residential buildings in southern Sichuan, and it is the second largest residential complex in Sichuan province after Liu's residential manor.

Qushi Manor is a well-preserved landlord manor, located in Dongpangshi Paifang Village, Lu Xian County, Sichuan Province. It is located at the junction of Sichuan and Chongqing, and it is the junction of Lu Xian County, Longchang County and Rongchang County. It used to be a place where there were many bandits and local county orders. However, Qu, the son of Qu, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, invited a geographer to build a large-scale Qu manor in this place called Shi Paifang.

Qu's manor was built in the light years of Qing Dynasty, beginning with Qu, then the governor. After several generations of hands, when Qu Hang Seng, the grandson of Qu, was elected, the whole manor building reached the point of perfection day by day. The whole manor * * * covers an area of more than 30 mu, with three internal and external walls, 48 large and small drawing rooms and patios. * * * House 180. There are a stage, a Buddhist temple, a gold and silver vault, a Phoenix well (formerly known as Lotus Well), an inner garden, an outer garden, a front garden, a swallow garden, a pool, a pavilion, a Diaoyutai, a tennis court and a racetrack. This manor is called the oldest manor in southern Sichuan because of its large scale and luxurious architecture. At the beginning of building the garden, the owner of the manor put a lot of thought into it, not only considering the interaction between the homestead and people, but also considering the function of preventing bandits and preventing fire. The whole building radiates around with nave as the center, which is both scattered and concentrated. Four carved buildings are distributed in the four corners of the building, and the building overlooks the whole manor and is guarded by four lions. If something goes wrong in one place, as long as you shoot, shout and light a lamp, other places can be rescued. On the eve of liberation, when bandits were most rampant, Qu Hengsheng bought five telephones from other places at a high price, and he could command at any corner at any time to attack the invading enemy.
