Central architecture with traditional Confucian cultural ideas of halls, halls, buildings as the main body, the most characteristic is the south and north Chinese architecture into Western European Roman architecture, of which the northern European architectural facade is particularly spectacular, the big house is magnificent, with exquisite brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings to see the victory.

Liu's ladder is a western-style building facing the west, known as the "red house", the owner Liu An, the ladder Qing, the main hall is called Chongdetang, so it is also known as Liu's ladder. The first major text prison tragedy in the early Manqing period was in the western-style building in the ancient town of Nanxun, Jiangnan. The Zhuang Shi's history case that shocked the country at that time was the first tragedy caused by text in the early Manqing Dynasty, which was called the "blood on the south of the Yangtze River" by history. The reason for this blood case is that Zhuang Tinglong, the eldest son of Zhuang Yuncheng, a large family of wealthy merchants in Nanxun, has a hobby of reading since childhood. During the Qing Shunzhi years, he suddenly became blind and depressed all day long. One day, he bought the Ming history draft of Zhu Guoqi, a former Ming University scholar, for the relief of boredom. Second, he also wants to do something more and leave something. So asked people to compile a book of Ming History, the publication of the book, the result of the defendant "privately edited Ming History, slandered the court, and was inverted." Under the investigation of Yuan Bai and others, after the Qing Dynasty randomly reviewed, Nanxun Zhu and Zhuang were cut off by the door, Hangzhou General Songkui and Zhejiang Governor Zhu Changyi were dismissed from their posts, and more than 2,000 people were killed and exiled. The literary men listed in Ming history were all imprisoned. All participants in editing, reading, engraving, trafficking, selling are implicated. The traitor Wu Zhirong reported that he was rewarded for his meritorious promotion, and the officer went to the right side, and he also divided half of Zhu and Zhuang's two copied property.

Liu's ladder is also called the red house, because the owner of the house for Liu Yu's third son is the ladder green. It was originally the place where the Nanyu Zhuangjia is located, and the famous Zhuang Shi case happened here. After Liu Yu's third son bought it and rebuilt it into a Chinese and Western complex, and then selected the Grand Canal World Heritage Site with Silk Commercial Building.

It is worth seeing, the content of the exhibition is very clear. Seniors over 80 can have one escort for free, which is very user-friendly. Nanxun Ancient Town is worth brushing again.

Worth a visit, the home of Dafu in the water town of Jiangnan. The architectural carvings are very exquisite, while retaining traditional culture.

The yard is not big, but the history inside is still worth seeing, listening to the story, a long experience.

The environment of the ancient town is good. When I went there, the weather was just right and very comfortable. The staff was very good. They patiently answered questions on the street. It was really shocking to see these buildings from the previous era.

The architectural design highlights the combination of Chinese and Western, the courtyard layout is reasonable, in which era is rare, it is worth our serious study.
