Shuren Hall

Shuren Hall(Man-cultivating Hall) is a present bestowed by the royalty to Wang Xingju, an imperially mandated senior executive official in 1862, the first year of the Tongzhi Period in the Qing Dynsaty.

The groundwork of the house is hexagon, implicating the harmony of the six directions. The main hall and the side hall are backed by the ditch and facing the Southern (a position deemed reverend and always taken by the royalty). The ceiling is of resplendent colored painting. In the east of the hall a small piece of land is made into a little pond, with lively water gushing ceaselessly. The exterior gate is constituted with an octangular arch and hanging planks.

The hall gets its name “man-cultivating” with the profund meaning that all the businesses should be done carefully and expertly, and all the offsprings should be cultivated.
