Hu Family Courtyard

　　The Hu Family Courtyard is situated in Changpinghu Village, Lingshan Town, Daye City. It was first constructed in the late Ming Dynasty and underwent multiple expansions during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and beyond. The complex spans an area of 3,000 square meters, consisting of two parallel wings and five courtyards aligned from front to back. All structures feature single-eave, flush-gable roofs with gray tiles, and are built with brick-and-wood structures. The beam frameworks vary in design, and fire-resistant gables are incorporated. Side rooms and wing rooms are typically two-story buildings with uniform layouts. The overall layout and architectural style of this ensemble reflect the developmental history of the Hu family and serve as a regional family chronicle. (Fifth Batch)
