Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

The interior of the Third Hall, also known as the Retiring Hall, was where the Duke of Yansheng received officials of rank four and above, and handled internal family disputes and affairs. The hall features an official desk arranged with seals, tokens, writing materials, and other items, flanked by objects such as bronze mirrors. Behind the desk is a screen door. The east wing served as the “Record Room,” managing the estate records and contracts of the noble house. Further back lies another courtyard, with the north room functioning as the “Office Room,” in charge of the overall administration and finances of the noble house. The west wing was the “Study Room,” handling private documents of the noble family. Hanging prominently at the center of the room is a plaque inscribed with “Six Generations in Harmony,” symbolizing six generations living together in harmony and prosperity. It was handwritten by Emperor Qianlong during a time when the Kong family had six living generations under one roof.
