Lianjuren Ancient House Introduction

In the sixth year of the Qing Dynasty's Tongzhi period (1867 AD), Lian Xu-chun, a descendant of Lian Yuan-qiao, went to Fuzhou for the local examination and became the first successful candidate from Shuangxi District. Therefore, his residence is respectfully referred to as "Candidate's House". The Qing court appointed Liu Ming-deng to inspect the area of Kuan-lan, and he made a special visit to the Candidate's House while passing through the upper Shuangxi. The ancient residence of Candidate Lian is a traditional three-part courtyard house, with a plaque hung above the main hall door that reads "Wen Kui," established by Ding Ri-chang, the Fujian provincial governor, in 1875. On either side of the doors are inscribed the characters "Chu Zhong" (Loyalty) and "Ru Xiao" (Filial Piety). A candidate refers to someone who has passed the provincial examination and participated in the local examinations, also known as "Da Hui Zhuang" or "Da Chun Yuan," colloquially referred to as "Lao Ye" (Sir).
