99% of people don't know that Nanchang, Jiangxi also has its own "Qiao Family Compound"

A centuries-old Qing Dynasty architectural complex
Who would have thought that in Nanchang, Jiangxi
There hides such a luxurious ancient mansion called Wangshan Tukou

✅ Locally in Gan dialect, large blue-brick tile houses are called "Tukou". Elders also habitually call this place the Cheng Family Mansion. It was once the settlement of the Cheng clan, built in 1821. With its blue bricks, dark tiles, and carved gatehouses, every corner bears the marks of its former glory and wealth.

✅ It's said that from the era of the three Cheng brothers who built this mansion until the Republic of China period, spanning over 100 years, the Cheng family produced 4 imperial scholars, 11 provincial graduates, and more than 100 officials and celebrities... No wonder we saw so many wishing plaques for academic success at the entrance [Back to School Season]

✅ The entire Tukou is centered around the ancestral hall, extending east-west with a north-south orientation. Its crisscrossing alleys and deep courtyards make for perfect photography spots with strong perspective framing when walking through the interconnected corridors 📷

✅ The Cheng family established ten strict family rules, such as respecting elders and sages, upholding propriety, being filial to parents and brothers, and maintaining harmony. Seeing these instructional plaques makes one ponder: how many people still adhere to such principles today? ❓
