Seeking the Golden Chamber in Shunde.🔸Ip Man said, "Most people see the Golden House as a place of ecstasy, but if you look at it the other way, it's a land of heroes." In the movie 'The Grandmaster,' director Wong Kar-wai created a romantic Golden House scene, where Gong Er and Ip Man had their "climactic duel," and the idea originated from the Bijiang Golden House. 🔸Originally named Fuhe Tower, the Golden House was built during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing dynasty. The extensive wood carvings inside depict traditional auspicious patterns, with lifelike representations of Lingnan's fine fruits like starfruit and grapes. Every detail is exquisite, with gold leaf inlays that demonstrate a dignified and luxurious beauty.

It is amazing that despite the dazzling display of gold and jewels, there is a strong scent of books and a quiet wisdom. The saying "In books, one finds houses of gold" is the most vivid explanation. 🔸With a house of gold, naturally, there is beauty as fair as jade. The goddaughter of Empress Dowager Cixi, the daughter of the Minister of Justice Dai Hongci, Dai Peiqiong, married the grandson of Su Piwen, a native of Bijiang who was then an official in the Ministry of War. Su Baixu placed his beautiful wife in the Golden House to accompany him in his studies. "Green clothes urge the writing of scrolls; red sleeves add fragrance to the reading," the most romantic scenery flows among the falling leaves. Hence the beautiful legend of "the Golden Chamber to hide a beauty." 🔸In addition to the Golden House, the scenic area also includes mud houses, the Zhi Fang Di mansion, the back garden, oyster shell walls, watermill walls, "wok-ear mountain walls," and other Lingnan-style ancient buildings to visit. 🔸The architectural craftsmanship and legends of the Bijiang Golden House complement each other, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Shunde Su's Mansion, Jinwu Tibetan. Shunde Jinlou is part of the Su's Mansion. The Su's Mansion is a garden mansion in the Lingnan Water Village. Although it is less than 10,000 square meters, it has concentrated many of the masterpieces of traditional architectural art. The Golden House has a history of more than 400 years. The buildings here are rich in functions, styles and decorations. The art of wood carving, brick carving, calligraphy and painting is exquisite. Step on the second floor of the Fuhe Building, you can't help but pour the golden wood carving art in front of you! These engravings with gold veneers have been shining for more than 100 years. The beautifully carved floral mane and various patterns have their meanings and stories. On the ceiling, I made an algae well with gold wood carvings. It is based on the theme of the Kowloon Pearl, and it is really a bit of the taste of the Forbidden City in Beijing. And it is the Feng Shui design that the owner used to "make fire." The decoration layout is taken from the cruise ship on the Pearl River in ancient times - the purple hole boat. The wood carvings on all sides are transparent and bright, and they are in the house like a boat. When you open the doors and windows, the birds outside are fragrant. The carving theme is the most traditional auspicious thing in China, while the art style has clearly absorbed the culture outside the domain. The arches on both sides are column-shaped, and the shape is a treasure bottle stacked like a stack of arhats. This is a European style. The glass in the middle of the woodcarving is imported from the United States, and some of them are frosted and etched glass, and most of them are completely preserved to this day. Golden House, and the red sleeves add to the evening reading, what a fascinating realm. Its not difficult to achieve a red-sleeved night, and its possible to have a bad luck student. However, the Golden House is not something that ordinary people can do, but it has the ability to keep the gold house, but also to calm down and read the red sleeves. I am afraid that the world is rare.
