Yangliuqing New Year Painting Museum

　　The Yangliuqing New Year Painting Museum integrates exhibitions with production facilities. It is situated to the west of the Shijia Courtyard in Xiqing District, Tianjin—the No. 1 Mansion in North China—on the former site of the ancestral hall (An Family Ancestral Hall) of An Wenzhong, the initiator of the Yangliuqing people’s migration to the Western Camp. After restoration, the museum covers a land area of 623 square meters, with a built-up area of 396 square meters. The architecture of the painting museum is distinctive, consisting of a two-courtyard quadrangle complex with five rooms per section and a total of 24 rooms. A central passageway divides the entire structure into two identical courtyard yards, north and south, both laid out as traditional quadrangles: five-bay widths, wing rooms on the east and west sides, raised-beam construction, and double-sloped roofs. All main rooms feature four-panel doors with five carved panels, while the secondary and end rooms have lower sections decorated with crabapple-pool-style railing walls and upper sections fitted with lifting-and-removing windows. The ridges of the roof are finished with clear-water style, and the flooring uses antique-style blue bricks, reflecting an elegant and classic aesthetic.
