Product description: Experience Real Beijing: quadrangular courtyard (Si He Yuan). The quadrangles varied in size and design according to the social status of the residents. The big quadrangles of high- ranking officials and wealthy merchants were specially built with roof beams and pillars all beautifully carved and painted, each with a front yard and back yard. However, the ordinary people's quadrangles were simply built with small gates and low houses. hutongs, in fact, are passageways formed by many closely arranged quadrangles of different sizes. The specially built quadrangles all face the south for better lighting; as a result, a lot of hutongs run from east to west. Siheyuan(traditional-style single-story houses with rows of rooms around the four sides of a courtyard)are unique buildings in Beijing.They embody the profound culture connotation of Chinese nationalities. A typical siheyuan is always built facing south. It consists of the northern room,the southern room as well as the eastern and western wing rooms. Here comes the name of Ssiheyuan. The carvings and colorful paintings of Siheyuan not only reflect the folk custom and cultural tradition but also display the people's wish for happinese, rishness and good luck. With the development of Beijing, more and more mansions have been built, At the same time, Siheyuan are disappearing quickly. Aspecial feeling of nostalgia towards the ancient Aiheyuan is lingering in many people's mind. 1.Chuandixia Village. 2.Private Garden(Former Owner of the House is Unknown)(No.36 Fuxue Hutong) 3.Li Yuanhong'sResidence 4.The Former Residence of prince Zhong Jun 5.Hao's Residence 6.The Residence of An 7.The Residence of Ma Huitang 8.The garden of Yue 9.Chengze Garden 10.Traditional Chinese Coutyard(No.255 East Gulou Street) 11.The Residence of Wu Junsheng 12.The Former Residence of Prince Gong The wheel of history rolls on.
