Lianjiren Ancient House Introduction
In the sixth year of the Tongzhi era of the Qing Dynasty (1867 AD), Lien Yuanchiao's descendant, Lien Xuchun, went to Fuzhou to take part in the local examination and became the first successful candidate from Shuangxi District in the imperial examination. Therefore, his residence is honored as the "Juren Cuo" (Scholar's Residence). The Qing court appointed Liu Mingdeng, a governor and inspector, to inspect K rece, and he made a special visit when passing through Ding Shuangxi. The ancient residence of the scholar features a traditional Sanheyuan-style building, with a plaque inscribed with "Wen Kui" hanging above the main entrance, which was established by Ding Richang, the Governor of Fujian, in 1875. The doorways on both sides are engraved with the characters "Chuzhong" (Loyalty) and "Ruxiao" (Filial Piety). "Juren" refers to those who passed the provincial examination and were successful in the local examination, also known as "Dahui Zhuang" or "Dachun Yuan," colloquially referred to as "Laoye" (Sir).
