The secluded mansion 'Cuihe Hall' in Dongshan Luxiang

Cuihe Hall was built by the Ye family during the Qing Dynasty. Cuihe Hall has collapsed, but there are still three brick-carved gate towers in the ruins, and the plaques of the two entrances behind are: 'Tolerance is greatness' and 'Prosperity for the future'. The brick carvings of the gate tower are still very exquisite. After visiting the brick-carved gate tower of Qilexianguan in 98, the main house was in a mess. Figures 3-7. But the three brick-carved gate towers are very exquisite, some are damaged, but I remember the second one is 'Tolerance is greatness', and all the lower beams on the front are carp tumbling in the water. Now the old house has been repaired and the gate tower is well protected, which is quite reassuring. Figure 15 is the same door as Qilexianguan. There is also a small gate tower called 'Yimou Yanji', which is very simple, with a pair of phoenix stone carvings underneath, which is very exquisite. The words are written by Gu Xianchang. The last picture is the back door, look at these large bluestone bars, the bandits of Taihu Lake probably couldn't attack back then. Address: Behind the former residence of Wang Ao in Luxiang.
