A brief introduction to the tourism strategy of Qiao's courtyard

1. The Qiao Family Courtyard is located in Qiaojiabao Village, Qixian County, Shanxi Province, 54 kilometers north of Taiyuan and only 2 kilometers south of Dongguan Town. Also known as the "Middle Temple", it is the residence of Qiao Zhiyong, a famous commercial and financial capitalist in Qing Dynasty. It was built in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and was renovated twice and expanded once. After several generations of continuous efforts, a magnificent building complex was built in the early years of the Republic of China, which reflected the unique style of northern dwellings in the Qing Dynasty.

2. The Qiao Family Courtyard is exquisitely designed, with a plane of "double happiness", covering an area of 8,724 square meters and a construction area of 3,870 square meters. It is divided into six courtyards, 20 small courtyards and 3 13 rooms. After entering the gate, there is an 80-meter-long straight stone tunnel, which divides six courtyards into two rows: the three courtyards in the north are called Old Courtyard, Northwest Courtyard and Garden Courtyard in turn from east to west, and the three courtyards in the south are Sainaning, Sanbao Courtyard and New Courtyard in turn, in which the architectural order of each courtyard of the Qiao Family Courtyard is inscribed, and the Qiao Family Ancestral Hall at the west end of the tunnel corresponds to the gate.

There are real gold paintings under the eaves of all rooms in the whole compound, mainly to write people's stories. In addition to Yanshan Longzi, Ma Gu's Birthday, Bed Full, Fishing and Cropping, there are flowers, birds, insects and fish, as well as various designs such as railways, trains, stations, clocks and watches. These patterns piled with Gionee powder and Sanlan's color paintings have their own characteristics. The gold foil used is of high purity. Although weathered, it still shines. The powder setting process is very detailed, and it is necessary to dry one layer and then another layer, so that one layer is piled up until a realistic relief of an ornament is made, and then gold plating is carried out. Golden paintings are smeared by oil stains on people's heads. Because it is too thin, we should choose a sunny day without rain and wind before the operation. It can be seen that it is quite laborious and time-consuming to complete a pattern work. The other lines are painted with gold and painted with bottom, all of which are natural stone colors, so they can be preserved for a long time and have bright colors.
