Miaozi Pub Qian Di Introduction
"Qingqian Di" is located in Maozai Pu, Wuhu Village, Xihu Township, to the north side of Expressway 119. It is the ancestral home of Mr. Zhang Qingxiu, the ninth township head of Xihu Township. "Qingqian Di" was originally built during the Qing Tongzhi period and has a history of over a hundred years. It has undergone multiple renovations, with the most recent one around the 43rd year of the Republic of China. On the surface, it appears to be a spacious brick-paved Sanhe courtyard building, but upon closer inspection, its layout, beams, columns, and altars exhibit a unique style that distinguishes it from typical traditional Hakka residences. The entire structure is laid out in a "Chang" character shape, symbolizing the prosperity and flourishing of the family, and is divided into a main hall, left and right wing rooms, and two courtyards. Above the main entrance of the hall are the three large characters "Qingqian Di," complemented by two antique stone pillars on either side. The wooden brackets and beams are intricately carved, exuding an antique charm. "Qingqian Di" features a grand layout, surrounded by lush greenery and bamboo, creating an elegant ambiance. Immersing oneself in its surroundings easily evokes feelings of nostalgia and it is indeed a historical residence worth preserving.
