連舉人古厝正門

In the sixth year of the Tongzhi reign (1867), Lian Xuchun, a descendant of Lian Yuanqiao, went to Fuzhou to participate in the provincial examination and won the title of Jinshi in the Bingshen year, becoming the first successful candidate from the Shuangxi District. Therefore, his residence is honored as "Juren Cuo" (the Scholar's House). The Qing court commanded Liu Mingdeng, the governor, to inspect Gamalan, and he made a special visit when passing through Ding Shuangxi. The ancient house of Scholar Lian is a traditional Sanheyuan-style residence, with a plaque reading "Wen Kui" (Literary Champion) hung above the main hall, established by Governor Ding Richang of Fujian in 1875. The left and right side doors are engraved with the characters for "Loyalty Out" and "Filial Piety In". Juren refers to candidates who pass the provincial examination and are selected in the county exam, also known as "Dahui Zhuang" or "Da Chun Yuan," commonly referred to as "Laoye" (Master).

Lianjunren Ancient House Introduction

In the sixth year of the Tongzhi era (1867), Lian Xuchun, a descendant of Lian Yuanqiao, went to Fuzhou to take the provincial examination and became the first successful candidate from the Shuangxi District. His residence is therefore revered as the "Juren House." The Qing court's appointed inspector Liu Mingdeng, during his inspection of Kavenlan, specifically visited the residence while passing through the upper Shuangxi. The former residence of Juren Lian is an ancient house built in the Sanheyuan style, with a plaque reading "Wen Kui" hanging above the main hall's entrance, established by the Fujian Governor Ding Richang in 1875. The doors on both sides are engraved with the characters for "Chuzhong" (loyalty) and "Ruxiao" (filial piety). "Juren" refers to those who pass the provincial examination after participating in the county examination, also known as the "Da Hui Zhuang" or "Da Chun Yuan," commonly referred to as "Lao Ye."
