The overall layout is a "trunk-branch" structure according to the terrain, and the layout of the big house is "Feng".

Its biggest feature is complete drainage facilities, lighting, ventilation and fire prevention facilities. The building materials are mainly wood, supplemented by blue bricks and granite, with exquisite carving, concise strokes, clear lines and vivid images. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it is still well preserved. It is the most complete preserved ancient architectural complex in the south of the Yangtze River in China, so it is praised as "the living fossil of Hunan, Chu, Ming and Qing Dynasties" by architectural experts. The ancient village is large in scale, ingenious in layout and design, integrating architectural art, folk culture, clan culture, farming culture and Ming and Qing styles. This closed space of ancient buildings also embodies the harmonious unity between man and nature. As a representative of the Han nationality, thousands of people live under the same roof. At present, there are still more than 600 households with more than 2,600 people living in the ancient village, all of whom are descendants of Zhang. They live in this labyrinthine ancient village and still maintain the unique local folk customs and food culture. People in the Zhang family have always used the words "farming and reading are handed down from family to family" as family precepts to warn future generations, and kept the ancestral precepts of "understanding current affairs, following nature, emphasizing education and promoting propriety and righteousness", working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
