Introduction
In the Spring and Autumn period, Longyou has a long history as the ancient capital of Gumei, and its cultural relics are quite exquisite. Among them, traditional Ming and Qing Dynasty dwellings are hailed as masterpieces of architectural art and play an important role in traditional Jiangnan architecture. Since the 1980s, the local government has begun to relocate ancient dwellings with cultural and viewing value to Jiming Mountain, with the aim of developing tourism with cultural relics while considering protection and development. The hall entrance of "Shanggang Qifeng" in Yuan Dynasty has a magnificent momentum with flying eaves and upturned corners, standing confidently under the sky like a large bird spreading its wings. This building comes from Yu Shaosong, a famous calligrapher and painter in Longyou, who is called the "Wu's Hall". Its unique structure of beam and bucket is also earthquake-resistant, and such buildings are rare in the country. In addition, there is the "Wang's Residence", whose architectural style of the front hall and the back building is very different. The back building is where the host lives, with smaller beam and column specifications and no woodcarving decorations.The front hall has large beams and pillars and finely carved brick, wood, and stone carvings. In addition, there are Ming Dynasty building "Yixiu Pavilion" and Qing Dynasty building "Lingshan Huating", each with its own unique features and very exciting.
