Yao Wenran was an official in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and later served as Shangshu in the Criminal Ministry during the Kangxi period. He was loved by the people and reused by the court.

In his later years, he asked the court to return to his hometown, hoping to return to his hometown of Tongcheng and spend the rest of his life in peace.

The beautiful scenery and familiar accent of his hometown made him unforgettable.

So he gathered more than half of local skilled craftsmen in his hometown to build this magnificent mansion.

In the end, the court did not accept his resignation due to heavy responsibilities and heavy work.

He died in the post of Shangshu in the Criminal Ministry, and he did not have the opportunity to return to the mansion he built for himself in his hometown.

This house had to be guarded by his descendants, and it has continued for hundreds of years.


However, the glory of the past can hardly withstand the baptism of war and years,

After peasant uprising, warlord melee, and anti-Japanese war,the most authentic aspect of this representative Huizhou architecture is already beautiful and not real

You may be able to see the old towns and merchants gathered from it

I can hear the fighting between the golden iron horse and the beacon, even if it is an understatement, it also tells the glory and vicissitudes of hundreds of years of history.

Restoration and protection, reshaping the past glory


      

For hundreds of years, this ancient house has been inherited as a form of historical culture, and it is inevitable that it has been damaged.

Due to disrepair for a long time and no one to manage, it is on the verge of collapse,

As a heritage of history and culture, the protection and repair of her has become increasingly important.

There are also many talented people with lofty ideals seeking to repair the Huai Palace,

However, due to various reasons, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect.


At the time when the General Secretary proposed "inheriting and promoting the excellent traditional Chinese culture",

In order to save and protect this architectural heritage, Wing Astronomy Brigade Group spent a lot of money to purchase and repair, so that the fallen leaves returned to their roots.

And to restore protection and give new ornamental value, let it reshape its former glory.
