Tips: The Li Mansion is divided into five parts from south to north, namely the entrance hall, front hall, middle hall and Zoumazhuanxin Building. It is a residential building that combines the residence, courtyard and study of literati. The central hall is also called Fu Shou Tang. It is 9 meters high and is the largest existing private residential hall in the late Qing Dynasty in the Jianghuai region. Each lattice door is carved with exquisite patterns, and the beams are all joined with mortise and tenon joints, without a single nail. Both ends of the beam are carved into the shape of elephant heads, symbolizing auspiciousness (elephant). The horizontal beam directly above is carved with a picture of "Mrs. Yu celebrating her birthday." The east and west wings are study rooms for Li’s descendants. On the long table above the central hall, there are antique clocks, vases and mirrors, implying "lifelong peace" in the house. He was a very talented person in handwriting. People in ancient times were very powerful and their handwriting was extremely good. What impressed me most was the 100 kinds of longevity characters he wrote. They were very good, really great, and excellent!
