The Wang Family Courtyard is often referred to as the "Folk Forbidden City." With its blue bricks and gray tiles, sprawling residences, and exquisite carvings, it vividly showcases the prosperity and grandeur of the Shanxi merchant families. The deep courtyards, each step revealing a new scene, exude a sense of strict order and artistic beauty.
Walking through the courtyard, one can feel the rise and fall of the Shanxi merchants, as the wisdom and glory of generations are hidden within its walls. The weathered walls seem to still whisper the stories of the family. The Wang Family Courtyard is not only an architectural marvel but also a living epic of family history.
