Introduction

Xu Fuma Mansion was built for Xu Jue, the husband of Princess De'an, daughter of Emperor Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. The mansion was built during the reign of Emperor Yingzong and has undergone several renovations, but the original layout and features have been well-preserved. The building has a total area of about 1800 square meters and consists of three sections and five rooms, with protruding bays and rooms in the front and back sections, totaling nine rooms. The central hall is surrounded by facilities such as a living room, bedroom, and study. Behind the upper hall is a backyard that spans the entire courtyard. The three sections and protruding bays of the mansion form a "工" shape layout, with hidden rooms on both sides of the central section's walls, creating a unique design with individual halls, courtyards, and sky wells.
