Half-day tour of the Wang Family Courtyard.

Half-day tour of the Wang Family Courtyard 1️⃣ After two days of planning, we finally decided to go to Jincheng. We searched for the specific address online and decided to take the mountain road instead of the highway to the Wang Family Courtyard in Shanxi. We set off from Jiaozuo at around 8am on Sunday. There weren't many cars on the road. The trees on both sides of the road were lush and the sunlight wasn't too harsh. The slight breeze made us feel very happy. 2️⃣ After driving on the mountain road for about an hour, we finally arrived at our destination, the Wang Family Courtyard. We learned that this "Wang Family Courtyard" was the residence of Chen Tingjing, the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. However, he only lived here three times. There is a huge archway in the manor, which clearly introduces the high-ranking officials and positions of the Chen family. The highest-ranking official was Chen Tingjing. Next to the archway is the prime minister's mansion built by the Chen family for Chen Tingjing. The door is not big, but it is very exquisitely repaired. I carefully touched these bricks. Some of them have been baptized for hundreds of years, and some are maintained for cultural protection. After entering the inner courtyard, I found that the Chen Mansion is really big. You can see Chen Tingjing's study, bedroom, and some documents about his life. Especially the bedroom, simple, simple, without too much decoration, unlike the luxury and complexity introduced in TV dramas, but simple and simple. You can see obvious traces of cleaning in the room, clean and tidy. These details all reveal the intentions of the builder of this mansion.
