On the road: Huai'an Government Office - one of the only two remaining government offices

After leaving the museum, continue heading north and cross the road to reach the Huai'an Government Office, which is all on a central axis. Huai'an Fucheng is located on the bank of the canal. The west and north of the old city are both water-rich areas. Only the north-south line in the central part of the city has higher terrain. The government offices are located in the northern part of the central part of the city. [Shrine] Entering the gate is a large courtyard, in the center is the stone archway of "Gongshengming". The wing rooms on both sides are the six departments, and the responsibilities and related cultural relics of the six departments are introduced inside. The lobby of the government office is the largest in the country, with an area of ​​more than 500 square meters. [BaseballCap] I have visited several yamen, all of which are county yamen. Pingyao is considered a high-level one and the area is relatively large, but I didn’t expect this government office to be so big. The government office has a back garden, and the pavilion on the rockery is unique in style. [Pushpin]The Huai'an Government Office has tried famous cases such as Li Yuchang's "Tianxia Granary" case. Guan Hanqing wrote the drama "The Injustice of Dou E" based on the Huai'an government office. [Shrine] A major feature of the Huai'an government office is the ancient criminal law exhibition, which displays a large number of criminal laws and torture instruments in detail, especially the scene display, which is shocking. There is a beheading platform in the courtyard. It is said that in the twelfth year of Yongzheng's reign, Yu Hongtu, a scholar in Henan Province, was the last government official to be beheaded. After that, he was abolished by Yongzheng because he was too cruel. [○] Highlights: [One] Huai'an Government Office is an existing ancient government-level government building. It is a symbol and testimony of Huai'an's historical status. It is large in scale. [Two] Huai'an Government Office is one of the only two remaining government offices in the country (the other is Nanyang Government Office). [Three]The lobby of Huai'an Government Office is the largest in the country, covering an area of ​​over 500 square meters. [Four] There are more than 50 houses and more than 600 rooms in the yamen, which are divided into three roads: east, middle and west. The middle road has the lobby, the second hall, the sixth department room, etc. The east road is a place for welcoming guests and banquets, and the west road is for the military. There are stone lions, screen walls, archways, etc. outside the gate of the arresting hall. [Five] The ancient criminal law exhibition is large in scale and rich in content, making it a highlight. [Six] National key cultural relics protection unit. [Seven] National 4A-level tourist attraction. [Eight]Ticket: 45 yuan. There are preferential policies.
