3. Big House

Let’s talk about the famous large houses in Runan’s urban and rural areas. I didn’t know about them for a long time. Let’s just talk about them during the Republic of China.

At that time, there were residences of Nanguo, Beiguo, Ye family, Tao family, Fu family and other large families in the city. The buildings of each family were of extraordinary style and had their own characteristics. The residence of Zhao Ti, the governor of Henan, is also in the city. Our Wang family is also a well-known local family, and the residence is quite impressive. I heard my mother tell me that when she was a child, there was Flagstaff Street behind her house. A wealthy man named Fu had a Qianqing sign here. One house occupied two streets, the north and south and the east and west. There were seven Guangxiu buildings. Every girl got married. At that time, pearls had to be measured in liters. From the outside, they are all made of blue brick walls, with high walls and deep courtyards.

It is very grand. From the west side of the house, you can see several embroidered buildings. There are bamboo curtains in front, and only the shadows of people can be seen walking around.

It is also tall and wide, covering the courtyard quite tightly. You can't see anything inside the courtyard from the outside. Outside the door are two majestic stone lions. The door platform is very high and is paved with bluestone strips. From the gate to the east there is a brick courtyard wall. When approaching another street intersection, there is a large car door, which is the passage for his family's large trucks to carry grain and firewood. His family's cars also enter and exit through this door. When the female family members go out to visit relatives, they get into a car in the courtyard and lower the curtain before exiting through the car door. In terms of floor area, Fu Zhai must have at least one hundred houses. Other large-scale residences also have dozens of courtyards and dozens of houses. The houses in the courtyards are usually paved with square bricks and have house walls and courtyard walls...
