Liu's Manor

Carrying red envelopes and traveling around the world, even if you have a lame leg, you still have to go out and have fun. The monkey at home started to pick and choose hotels before going out. Dayi, Liu's Manor. I went there more than 20 years ago and didn't have much impression, so I revisited the old place. Zuo Pang and I have been to too many national protected scenic spots that are rarely visited by people. This time I am not used to places with a large crowd. The manor is indeed beautiful, and the most exciting thing is the various brick carvings on the door wall. Based on the clay sculptures of the landlord's house and the rent collection courtyard, I imitated Dangnian Mingyue's tone and taught the monkey two lessons, "How landlords are made" and "What is the revolution all about". I don't know if the monkey understood it, but at least Zuo Pang was amused by me. This time, the monkey had his own camera and was very excited. He took more than 300 photos in the afternoon.

Liu's Manor is located in the ancient town of Anren. It was built by the landlord Liu Wencai and his family since the late Qing Dynasty. It covers a very large area, and many of the buildings inside are a combination of Chinese and Western styles, which are very distinctive.

Liu Wenhui, a warlord in the Republic of China, was Liu Wencai's younger brother, and Liu Xiang was his nephew. The Liu family dominated Sichuan at that time. The scale of the manor, the exquisite architecture, the luxurious utensils, etc. all reflect that the Liu family was very wealthy. Every accumulation of huge wealth was bloody. The historical evaluation of the Liu family can only be guessed by oneself.

The large courtyard of a landlord's house is quite exquisite.

To get to Liu Wencai Courtyard in Dayi County, take the intercity train from Chengdu West Station to Ya'an, and then take the 211 bus to Dayi County. It only takes half an hour. It's very convenient. No need to take a taxi.

The entire Liu Family Manor is a typical example of modern Sichuan landlord manor architecture. I, however, seemed to be uninterested in these things. Perhaps it was because I had seen the Wang Family Courtyard, which was like a folk Forbidden City, in Pingyao, Shanxi, and I was not very interested in these relics of nouveau riche landlords. There is a saying that goes, "After returning from the Wang Family, you will not look at the courtyard." After seeing such grand mansions as "The East Courtyard of the Wu Family in That Year's Flowers Bloom," I was really picky about the things of ordinary people. So, while the large group was studying seriously with the guide, I slipped out.

Right inside Anren Ancient Town, there is the manor of Liu Wencai, the most famous landlord in the country in the 1940s and 1950s. It is very large and the architecture is very Republican-style. It is worth a visit. I forgot the ticket price, but it seems to be 60 or 70. Together with the entire ancient town, you can spend a day there. If you need more tips, you can follow me on China-TravelNote, which has pictures, or you can chat privately, haha. As a backpacker who works and runs a B&B, I can give you some local travel suggestions. I can also provide you with B&B accommodation, hahaha.

You need to buy tickets here, and the gardens open at different times.

The first time I saw the architectural style of Liu's Manor on the Internet, I liked it very much. It was built in the late Qing Dynasty and completed in the late Republic of China. Probably due to the special time point, the unique style of the combination of Chinese and Western styles here is eye-catching. The old brick walls have been mottled by wind and rain, but what is amazing is that this old but old flavor has stood through the years and experienced changes. Some of those colors have become darker and some have become lighter over time. The garden is the layout of an ordinary wealthy family, with one room after another, for the owner, the servants, and many others that we don't know the use of. The layout and color of the house have tended to be Westernized. The colors are no longer the traditional red and gold, but turquoise doors and windows, and light red curtains. Western-style sofas and Chinese-style porcelain, the layout of a house can always show the difference of the great era.

Depart from Chengdu Chadianzi, take a bus. The fare is 17 yuan, go directly to Anren Station, and take bus No. 11 opposite to Liu's Manor! Liu's Manor is very luxurious and large, with several exhibition areas, which vividly show the luxurious life of the landlords at that time!

The landlord manor of Liu Wencai and his family is very large and luxurious. It is worth a visit to learn about the life of the landlord family in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. After the liberation, the treatment of Liu Wencai's concubines was too much. The women were just hanging out with rich people to live a good life. It was not necessary to make a big fuss and sentence them to disappear in the end. It was pitiful. But there is also blood pork in Anren Ancient Town. I can't praise it. I found a famous store "Tuoxuewang" that was advertised all the way. I can only say that it is edible. I took a bowl of soup and put my thumb in the soup. The jelly seemed a bit sour, so I basically didn't eat it. The intestines of the intestines of the blood pork were still full of old oil, and the tourism facilities need to be strengthened. The streets are full of people buying stone carvings, which is a bit interesting, but the house is too small to fit.

In fact, this is a house of a modern landlord, but there are still many things to see inside, such as an old-fashioned car, which was a very rare property in those days. The landlord was called Liu Wencai, so it was named Liu's Manor, which was a representative of being very rich in those days.

I personally think the most famous place in Anren is the former residence of Liu Wencai. I first came here when I was in elementary school. The most impressive thing was the Miss Building. At that time, there was no Jianchuan Museum, and there was no awareness of building an ancient town for everyone to relax. Even the yard and road near Liu Wencai's house were stone roads. Now the planning and design are quite good.



It takes only a few minutes to drive out of the ancient town's style street to reach Liu's Manor. The car stops at the designated location and walks a short distance to the gate. You can also take the tram directly to here in the ancient town, which costs 20 yuan.



There is a small square at the entrance of the manor, and in the middle of the square is a big banyan tree, which also shows the age of this Liu family manor.



The ticket price is 40 yuan per person, 31 yuan on Dianping, and there is also an independent museum for 30 yuan. Anyway, it is very complicated. If it is more than 60 yuan but less than 70 yuan, it is 50% off. Chengdu senior citizens are usually free, and 50% off on May 11th.

It is free for people over 70 years old nationwide. Because some relatives from other places are coming to visit during the summer vacation, I didn’t go in for this inspection.

That morning, we wandered around Liu Wencai's mansion and Liu's ancestral home, which was truly a huge complex of buildings.

Stop 122: Liu's Manor and Anren Ancient Town. Tickets are 40 yuan, no inspection required. The manor is worth a visit, after all, you can feel the wealth of Sichuan's landlords. But compared with the wealthy people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the Huizhou merchants, it is indeed far behind. The happiest thing is to accompany my dear little sister to go shopping, love you for ten thousand years [happy].

As a middle-aged greasy man born in the 1980s, Liu Wencai's name is not as well-known as thunder, but it is not unfamiliar. This time I had the opportunity to visit Liu Wencai's former residence to find out, which was really unexpected. I originally planned to take a 50-60 minute tour, but in the end I spent more than two hours. If I had to say what impressed me most, it was undoubtedly the "Rent Collection Courtyard", a large sculpture group born in the 1960s. The lifelike image gave people a strong shock. In addition, you must rent an interpreter, use Beidou navigation, which is super powerful, and automatically play according to your location. The experience is very good.

Well-preserved, fine architecture in western Sichuan, rich in content, worth a visit, especially some anecdotes, which are particularly impressive.

Highly recommended, the museum has a rich collection and the building is well preserved. I personally think that Liu's Manor can be compared with the Summer Palace in Beijing. The buildings in the north seem a bit crowded and the lighting is not good, but Liu's Manor is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it retains a lot of traditional culture, especially the set of rosewood chairs brought out from the Tianwang Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which are inlaid with agate and blinded my eyes. Secondly, I think the evaluation of Liu Wenhui is relatively optimistic. I didn't praise him blindly, nor did I keep digging up his black history. After all, people are changing. After half a lifetime of military service, he may have discovered that his warlord melee was indeed not worth mentioning compared to the Communist Party's Xinyang.

It is worth a visit. Visit the houses in western Sichuan and experience the culture and customs. It takes two hours to complete the tour.

Liu's Manor Museum is located in Anren Town, Dayi County, Chengdu City, 12 kilometers away from Dayi County and 50 kilometers away from Chengdu City. It was originally the private residence of Liu Wencai, a large landowner in western Sichuan, and is also one of the best-preserved feudal landlord manors in my country. It opened in October 1958 and was originally named Dayi Landlord Manor Exhibition Hall. It is a museum that displays modern and contemporary folk architecture in western Sichuan, rural manor architecture, and reproduces the life scenes of the people in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It is now a national 4A-level scenic spot, a national key cultural relic protection unit, and a national youth education base.

On January 14, 2018, the grandfather and his wife traveled to Anren Town and passed by Liu's Manor. The antique archway was very magnificent.

The world of the rich, let's really feel how they live, high class! High class! The food is also good, one day is enough

The current situation is not as open as in previous years, and some houses are locked. The manor of Liu Wencai, a well-known landlord in the previous generation, has exquisite architecture and precious collections, which is worth seeing.

Liu's Manor Museum is located in Anren Town, Dayi County, Chengdu City, 12 kilometers away from Dayi County and 50 kilometers away from Chengdu City. It was originally the private residence of Liu Wencai, a large landowner in western Sichuan. It is also one of the best-preserved feudal landlord manors in my country.

It is certainly necessary to recall the past and fight against the local tyrants, but the various inheritances of modern manor-style residential buildings are also worth seeing, and the various doorfronts are the most distinctive.

Liu's Manor is a typical Sichuan residential courtyard that integrates Western features. The main gate was originally called "Landlord Manor", but now it has been renamed "Dayi Liu's Manor Museum" without the two sensitive words "landlord". Tickets are sold (40 yuan/person) for admission.

The typical architecture of the Republic of China period is very rich in the characteristics of western Sichuan. In particular, you can see the ivory carvings and red sandalwood items collected by the Liu family, which are priceless.

Liu's Manor Museum is the largest and best-preserved landlord manor in China. The old manor was built in the early 20th century. Large-scale construction and expansion began around 1928 and took more than 10 years to complete. It is surrounded by a 6-meter-high wind and fire wall and has 7 gates. The entire mansion covers an area of ​​12,300 square meters, with a construction area of ​​7,650 square meters, 160 houses and 27 large and small patios. The old mansion is luxurious, exquisitely carved, and a combination of Chinese and Western styles. There are high walls and alleys, thick doors and iron locks everywhere. It is a typical Chinese rural manor building.

It’s so big that my feet hurt from walking.

What impressed me most was the smoking rooms in summer and winter. . .

The landlords of that period indeed lived a lavish life!

But it was a bit of a headache to go in through three doors. After going out, you had to go back in from the first door (just different doors). The weather was hot and I felt a bit annoyed.

The main attractions in Anren Ancient Town are Liu's Manor, Liu Wenhui Exhibition Hall, and the Republic of China Style Street (very suitable for taking photos). The first two halls are mainly for understanding some modern history of the year. The following photos were taken in the Treasure Hall in Liu's Manor. They are all Liu Wencai's collections. It feels like any one of them is priceless. . . For details, you can also refer to my travel notes "Panda Man New Year Sichuan Chengdu & Surrounding Six-Day Tour" http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/6825053.html

Liu's Manor is really big. The museum has rich collections, luxurious buildings, various shapes, and hundreds of various art decorations. The interior of the manor is divided into a hall, a Chinese and Western-style living room, a reception room, an account office, a hired worker's yard, a rent collection yard, a granary, a secret vault, an opium warehouse (originally mistaken for a "water prison"), a Buddhist hall, a moon-watching platform, a Xiaoyao Palace, a garden, an orchard, and other parts. There are a large number of physical objects, and it is a typical place to study the feudal landlord economy in China. If you don't have a student ID, you can buy it online in advance for a cheaper price. Buying on site is 40 for adults, free for children, half price for students, and free for the elderly with a senior citizen ID.

This is the most worthwhile place to visit in Chengdu. I stayed there for a day. There were few people and the environment was good. Liu Xiang's mansion was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and the architecture was very mysterious. Except for the disgusting rent collection courtyard, it was really great.

Liu's Manor Museum Liu's Manor Museum Liu's Manor Museum

It's just so-so, I don't think it's very interesting. If you want to visit the gardens, don't come here.

The demonized Liu Wencai, justice is in the hearts of the people

One of the two places you must visit when you come to Anren.

The most famous member of the Liu family was Liu Xiang, the leader of the Sichuan Army. He was also a general who actively responded to the war of resistance. It's a pity that he died young. I'm very sad.

The Liu Family Manor consists of three parts: the Liu Family Ancestral Home, the Former Residence of Liu Wencai and the Collection Hall. The Ancestral Home is where Liu Xiang was born.

The Liu family manor and the ancient town are very beautiful, with a strong Republican style. Although the Liu brothers were dubbed as evil tyrants, the construction style of the manor can be seen to have accumulated a deep cultural heritage. In comparison, many tyrants nowadays are truly rustic.

There are many attractions near Liu's Manor, mainly the landlord culture, and the Jianchuan Museum next to it has a good display of the culture of the Republic of China era!

It is really a wealthy family. There is also a smoking room, which is divided into summer smoking room and winter smoking room. The definition of local tyrants has been refreshed again.

The Liu's Landlord Manor above the ancient town of Anren in Qionglai should not be placed here, but should be placed below Chongzhou. It takes about an hour to get there from Chengdu by highway. If you take the Chengwenqiong highway, get off at the west or east of Chongzhou. There are signs. You can visit it together with the Jianchuan Museum. The two are next to each other, but the tickets are still not cheap. The ticket package of Liu's Manor is 40 yuan, and you can visit Liu Wencai's mansion, the boutique museum and Liu's ancestral house. In fact, the mansion and the boutique museum are more beautiful. One has a clay sculpture rent collection courtyard which is quite interesting, and the other is purely for seeing the boutiques (such as calligraphy and paintings, jade, etc., which are all private collections of Liu Wencai's family in the past)

On the second day of National Day, I chose the less popular Anren Ancient Town. There is a bus that goes directly to Anren at the Chadianzi Bus Station. I waited for about 2 or 3 minutes before I got on the bus. From the window, I saw people queuing up to go to Dujiangyan. I don't know how many rounds of S-shaped queues there were. It took about an hour to reach Anren Ancient Town. I took an electric tricycle in front of the bus station for 10 yuan. Anren Ancient Town is the residence of Liu Wencai, a big landlord. Being here, you can feel the heroic spirit of officials and officials, and at the same time, you can deeply feel the pain of the exploitation of the working people. The so-called "fat pigs and thin people" is a very vivid metaphor.

The Liu family is really luxurious. The scenic area is divided into three parts, including Liu Wenbai's former residence, Liu's ancestral home, and collection tube. The collection tube contains some treasures used by the Liu family in the past. Liu's ancestral home is also very luxurious, with the characteristics of Sichuan folk houses. The most essential and most important is Liu Wencai's former residence. The entrance is the living room, guest room, etc. The former residence of Liu Wencai's second concubine, son, and daughter. Then we visited his back garden, rest area, etc. The places where Liu Wencai smokes are divided into summer and winter. I can only say that rich people really know how to play. Liu Wencai's car is an American Ford. The quality of the car is really good, and I think the car is also very good-looking. Then there is her favorite fifth concubine's room. It is still quite luxurious, and a bathroom was specially built for the fifth concubine. Legend has it that the happy fifth concubine was influenced by Western culture and is very talented. Finally, there is the place where his family collects rent, etc. Another bright spot is that a clay sculpture was built to reflect the situation of rent collection. It was really not easy for farmers in the old society. It is suggested that you bring children and students to watch this and educate them to cherish their present life.

Liu's Manor is the house of the landlord Liu Wencai. The houses of the Liu brothers are all nearby, and the old house of the Liu family is also here. This attraction surprised me a little. I didn't want to go there at first because I didn't know much about that period of history and didn't know anything about the rent collection courtyard. The adults at home recommended it, so I went there when I was bored. It was also a hassle to take a bus. I started from Pi County and bought a ticket to Anren. I just arrived at the station and caught it. It was a close call. After arriving at Anren Bus Station, I took the bus to Liu's Manor. As a result, I checked the guide and got off the bus too early. I took a tricycle to the scenic spot. In fact, bus No. 11 has a stop at Liu's Manor Museum. On the return trip, I took a bus directly near the scenic spot to the bus station. The bus cost 3.5 yuan. The ticket to the scenic spot is 40 yuan, and there is a discount for online booking. There are three places to visit, one is the treasure exhibition hall, one is the house of Liu's Manor, one is the old house of Liu's family, and there is also a young lady's building that is open. The recommended visiting time is 3 hours. It is really worth a visit. It is not a quick visit, but a careful appreciation of that deformed history. When I went there, I met an elderly team. The elderly were very enthusiastic. They were all experienced people and must have a different experience. Many foreigners were amazed at the art exhibition of the clay sculpture rent collection courtyard. In addition, there is a set of rosewood tables and chairs in the Liu Manor Museum. This was used by Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Heavenly King's Palace. Each one is inlaid with 27 gems. In addition to the four matching tables, each inlaid with 16 gems, the total number of gems in the whole set of tables and chairs is as many as 280. The marble of the chairs has also been carefully selected. Each piece is like a splash-ink landscape painting. It can be said to be a priceless treasure donated by the descendants of the Liu family. On the return trip, there was no bus back to Pi County, so I went directly to Chengdu. Anren Bus Station has a shuttle bus to Chadianzi, which is very convenient.

40 Yuan/person.

Liu's Manor was originally the private residence of the landlord Liu Wencai, and is currently the best-preserved feudal landlord manor in China. There is a three-story "Miss Building", also known as "Embroidery Building" in Dayi Liu's Manor, which is exquisitely built and unique in style.

The manor of the landlord Liu Wencai's family. Liu Wencai was not a bully. He built a middle school for his hometown. Here, we have a more pertinent understanding of Liu Wencai and his brothers. Liu's manor is large and luxurious, with exquisite carvings and decorations on the gate. Although it is made of blue bricks and slate, it has a strong Western style, combining Chinese and Western styles, and has a unique style. The clay sculpture "Rent Collection Courtyard" exhibited inside vividly shows the miserable life of farmers in the old Chinese society. Anren Ancient Town is rarely commercialized and not crowded. It still retains the previous streets, small shops, and cinemas. The consumption level is also very low. Everything seems to be still 30 years ago. It's really literary and leisurely to come here to spend the weekend.

The manor of the landlord Liu Wencai family is very large and it is a bit tiring to visit.

The very quaint landlord's mansion recreates the former glory of the Liu family.

The next day we went to Liu Wencai's manor in Anren Town. It is very close to the county seat, about 20 miles away. Anren Town is very beautiful, and there is also China's largest private Jianchuan Museum cluster! It is worth a visit!

Liu's Manor is actually Liu Wencai's home. It is very large and he was a big landlord at that time. Moreover, his home facilities are quite complete. He is really a local tyrant...

Liu's Manor Museum is located in Anren Town, Dayi County, Chengdu City, 12 kilometers away from Dayi County and 50 kilometers away from Chengdu City. It was originally the private residence of Liu Wencai, a large landowner in western Sichuan, and is also one of the best-preserved feudal landlord manors in my country. The museum was built in October 1958 and was originally named Dayi Landlord Manor Exhibition Hall. It is a museum that displays modern and contemporary folk architecture in western Sichuan, rural manor architecture, and reproduces the life scenes of the people in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. It is now a national 4A-level scenic spot, a national key cultural relic protection unit, and a national youth education base.

The manor is rich in treasures, and the priceless jade ring lies quietly in the glass cabinet of the showroom, showing its elegance under the spotlight. I seem to still feel the fifth concubine holding the bright jade bowl with her ten fingers as thin as green onions, carrying this rich jade ring, with residual warmth. It is unpredictable what happens in life, and now she has long gone, leaving only the beautiful object.

Liu's Manor is so big and beautiful, it's almost like a maze. My husband really envied the life of this landlord.

Liu's Landlord Manor is located in Anren Ancient Town, Dayi, Chengdu. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit. I heard about this place from my parents when I was very young. Recently, I had nothing to do, so I took the time to visit it. I felt that the place was pretty good. The whole manor was very large, and it took us most of the day to visit it. The scenic spot is divided into three independent areas, and the ticket price is 50 yuan. You need to check in at three different places. There are many cultural relics in it, and the protection is quite good. It is worth visiting!

Liu's Manor is very distinctive. The architecture is said to be an integration of Gothic architecture, with a mainly brick and wood structure and green bricks and tiles. It reflects the development process of modern residential architecture in western Sichuan, and also has the flavor of Western castles and church architecture. A large manor with high walls and alleys was built, combining Chinese and Western styles.

The museum has rich collections, luxurious buildings, diverse shapes, hundreds of kinds of artistic decorations, and a large number of physical objects, making it a typical place for studying China's feudal landlord economy.

There are more than 27,000 cultural relics in the collection, including ivory carvings, porcelain, gold and silver products, and calligraphy and paintings by famous people. There are 15 first-class items, including a set of rosewood and marble-inlaid tables and chairs from the Heavenly King's Palace of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the 8 chairs are 108 cm high, 99 cm wide, and 60 cm deep, inlaid with 27 beads of various colors, and surrounded by floral patterns decorated with mother-of-pearl.

The layout of the old mansion is intricate and tortuous, vividly reflecting the process of the Liu family encroaching on land and expanding the manor. It is a typical example of the architectural form and style of modern Sichuan landlord manors, and vividly displays the characteristics of modern manors of warlords, bureaucrats, and landlords who emerged from the warlords' infighting.

Like many less educated landlords, Liu Wencai also loved to collect calligraphy and paintings. This place is said to be the dragon vein of the entire old house. In the past, Liu Wencai performed sacrifices here.

This is a trip that I started with my class. The grandeur of the landowner's manor is clearly revealed in this place. There are intricate carvings, winding corridors, and patios with small rock scenes. When you walk into this place, you feel like you are entering a deep palace. When you look through the high walls at the ray of sky, will you feel a sense of sadness left alone in the boudoir?

There are three halls, showing various prosperity and contrasts, various social conditions. Some reliefs are very beautiful, and I admire the craftsmen of the time.

The original price of the ticket for Liu's Manor was 50 yuan. We booked it online for 32 yuan each. It was very convenient. You can pick up the ticket directly at the ticket window. The ticket includes 3 museums, namely the Laogongguan (the ancient house of the landlord Liu Wencai), the Treasure House (exhibiting the precious treasures of the Liu family, which is eye-opening~) and the Liu's ancestral home (it was under renovation when we went there, so we didn't go in).

"Liu Wencai Manor" is also a very famous place. Before visiting it, I thought it was just a "local tyrant" landlord. After visiting it, I felt that "this 'local tyrant' is not 'local' at all."

The area of ​​this old mansion alone, according to the tour guide, is more than 12,000 square meters, and this is just the property of Liu Wencai alone.

It is the house of an old landlord. It was still under renovation when we went there, with all kinds of broken bricks and tiles. But it didn't stop us from having a great time. Most of the tourists here are from Sichuan or Chengdu, so there are not many people.

This place is worth visiting once. It is very attractive for the first time.

Remember the landlord Liu Wencai in the middle school or elementary school textbooks? He was put in a water dungeon, and was punished with a large bucket for entry and a small bucket for exit... But have you heard of Liu Wenhui? His brother, the anti-Japanese leader of the Sichuan Army, Liu Xiang, his uncle, left a will before his death in 1938: "Fight to the end, and never change. As long as the enemy does not withdraw from the country, the Sichuan Army will never return home!"

Inside the manor, the manor of the landlord Liu Wencai, I don’t really appreciate the architecture and don’t think it’s very luxurious, but the manor is quite large.

This is a trip that I started with my class. The grandeur of the landowner's manor is clearly revealed in this place. There are intricate carvings, winding corridors, and patios with small rock scenes. When you walk into this place, you feel like you are entering a deep palace. When you look through the high walls at the ray of sky, will you feel a sense of sadness left alone in the boudoir?

Liu's Manor and Liu Wenhui Mansion are still worth a visit. On the one hand, you can review history, and on the other hand, you can also feel the living conditions of the local tyrants in the old days. It is a unique view. Friends who like photography, I recommend this place, it is very suitable for taking photos in the style of the Republic of China~~

After the clay sculpture "Rent Collection Courtyard" was exhibited in October 1965, it immediately aroused strong response and shock from audiences at home and abroad. The unique achievements in the nationalization and popularization of the group of figures in terms of style and temperament, the simplicity of the materials used in the creation, the profound theme and the exquisite artistic expression have been highly praised by all sectors of society. The clay sculpture "Rent Collection Courtyard" is a revolutionary and innovative work in the history of sculpture art in New China, a successful work in the exploration of national style, a sculpture that truly reaches the masses, and an example of the fusion of traditional Chinese clay sculpture and Western sculpture.

The reason why I went to Dayi to visit the former residence of the big landlord Liu Wencai was not only for the architecture, but also to understand the history. Of course, the real history cannot be understood there. The clay sculptures in the rent collection courtyard fully show the inhumanity of landlords, bullies, and lackeys, and the suffering and desolation of the people. However, "many farmers in Dayi County, Sichuan (Liu Wencai's hometown) recalled that Liu was kind to others and often helped his neighbors in need. Especially in his later years, he personally invested 250 million yuan (equivalent to more than 2 million US dollars at the time) to establish Wencai Middle School, which had the best teachers and equipment in Sichuan at the time, and engraved a monument to indicate: "On the day the school was established, the Liu family no longer had ownership and use rights to the school property." I just feel that history must be artificially whitewashed, exaggerated, and even deceived.
