Architecture in Eastern File (Emolument) The residence on the eastern file originally had five rows of houses from the front to the real. But later the front row paralleled with the former gate tower had been torn down. Now only three rows of houses are extant, each of them has three rooms, about ten meters wide. Behind the main room there was originally a kitchen, a firewood room and a well, but now they no longer exist. There are carved deer decorative patterns on doors, windows, attics, partition fans. So are the tile mouths of eaves. Deer and emolument are homophonic, so deer represents emolument. The ground is paved with square bricks, the padding layer of which is very particular. Turn over bowls with their bottoms up ward and then put bricks on them. There are two advantages: One is damp proof; the other is that when people walk on the ground, they make no noise. |
