Wang Family Courtyard is located in Lingshi County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province. Historically, the Wangs Courtyard was built by Jingsheng Wangs more than 300 years ago. The whole courtyard is divided into four floors from low to high, with a main road in the middle. As you can see from the above, the courtyard has formed a "king" shape. There are 88 courtyards in the Wang Family Courtyard, all of which are of the same shape. Perhaps most of my friends are familiar with Joe's compound. In fact, the Wang Family Courtyard has a long history. This time, I will briefly introduce the Wangs' compound and see which one is better than the jstars' compound.

When it comes to Shanxi Courtyard, the first thing that comes to mind may be the Qiao Courtyard, but when it comes to Shanxi Merchants, the Wangs rank first. The Wang Family Courtyard is located in Jingsheng Town, Lingshi County, Shanxi Province, with a total area of 45,000 square meters, which is ten times that of the Qiao Family Courtyard.

The Wang Family Courtyard is an outstanding representative of the Shanxi Merchants Courtyard Group. Located in Jinzhong basin, it is a completely closed castle-style building complex, built on the mountain. Known as "the first residence in China".

The Wang Family Courtyard was built by Jingsheng Wang Family in Ming and Qing Dynasties more than 300 years ago, including a street in Wuxiang and Liubao Town. It is an architectural art museum with China cultural characteristics.

The buildings in Wang Jia Courtyard are mostly made of wood structure, with two-story caves in the front yard, caves with eaves and balconies on the bottom floor and houses with beam-column wood structure on the second floor, which constitute a reasonable combination of typical beam-column wood structure and brick caves with gorgeous and exquisite structural accessories.

Such as the arch in the corridor structure, the wood carving in the front square, and the stone pillars and wall cornerstones, etc., have various forms and exquisite craftsmanship. It fully embodies the architectural features of "firmness, practicality and beauty" in ancient northern China.

The "three sculptures" of the Wang Family Courtyard, namely brick carving, wood carving and stone carving, are an important part of the whole architectural art and one of the most representative features of the Wang Family Courtyard.

The so-called "architecture should be planned carefully, and the idea should be auspicious" is a true portrayal of the sculpture art of the Wang Family Courtyard. For example, the lifelike "rolling lion and hydrangea" on the front wall, and the beautifully carved "Phoenix Peony" and "Songzhu Meilan" on the lintel of Songzhu Garden are all exquisite works. In addition, in many topics, the host implicitly expressed his desire for good luck, fame and fortune or living and working in peace and contentment.

The architectural pattern of the Wangs' courtyard inherits the courtyard style of the main hall and the back bedroom formed since the Western Zhou Dynasty. The living pattern in the yard is directional. Although the courtyard layout is mostly compound courtyard, the pattern is changeable and the combination is proper. The whole building consists of officials, businessmen and folk Confucian scholars. It not only follows the traditional theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in ancient China, but also conforms to the ethical etiquette system such as internal and external order of respect and inferiority.

At the same time, it also absorbed the local and implicit design style of southern garden architecture, and organically combined architectural techniques with gardening art, forming another major feature of the architectural art of Wang Courtyard. All these make the courtyard a multicultural art palace.

The Wang Family Courtyard is full of cultural atmosphere. Couplets and plaques occupy a very important cultural position in quadrangle architecture. There are couplets in the hall and plaques at the gate. The quantity, form and content are profound, and the pursuit and thinking of the Wangs have been remembered and publicized for hundreds of years. They are unique in the culture of Shanxi merchants.

Wang Jia Siheyuan embodies the architectural decoration style of Qing Dynasty, and also highlights the tranquility and vitality of ancient buildings in the north. There is a saying that "the Wangs don't look at the yard when they come back", which is true.
