Ye Family Ancestral House

　　The Ye Family Ancestral House is situated in Shishan Village, Huaixiang, spanning more than 2,000 square meters. Constructed with earth and wood, it consists of two buildings with a total of 99 rooms, some of which have been damaged. After the liberation, this house was used as the headquarters of the Shishan Brigade and also housed Shishan Middle School. The words "Shishan Middle School" can still be seen on the lintel. Mr. Ye, who came with us, said that this house was built by his grandfather over 100 years ago, and at the time, the construction cost a cartload of silver, which still wasn’t enough. Mr. Ye’s grandfather was once the magistrate of a certain county in Zhejiang.
