Introduction

The Neixiang County Government Office is located on the north side of the middle section of Dongda Street, Neixiang County, facing south. It is the only well-preserved county-level feudal government office in China, and the first government office museum in the country. It was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council in 1996. It is known as the "Forbidden City in the North, County Government in the South" and "Head of the Dragon in Beijing, Tail of the Dragon in Neixiang". The construction of Neixiang County Government Office began in the 8th year of Dade in the Yuan Dynasty (1304 AD). The existing architectural complex was built in the Qing Dynasty, covering an area of 20,000 square meters, with 260 halls and rooms, including the central axis of the capping wall, Xuanhua Hall, main gate, ceremonial gate, West Flower Hall, Yin Guest House, dining hall, prison, and six houses of the three ranks. At the same time, 32 exhibition rooms were established using the preserved objects of the county government office, covering an exhibition area of 3,600 square meters, showcasing the rich cultural connotations of the government office. The architectural complex of Neixiang County Government Office has a unique architectural style. It strictly follows the regulations of local government offices in the Qing Dynasty in terms of overall layout, reflecting the traditional ceremonial thought of "facing south, with civil on the left and military on the right, and sleeping quarters at the back, with prison in the south". At the same time, influenced by the main builder, the fifth-ranked county magistrate Zhang Bingtao from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, the entire architectural complex incorporates styles from both the north and south of the Yangtze River, with a grand scale, strict layout, profound and solemn atmosphere, and endless variation.
