Jishan Building Introduction
Built during the Japanese occupation in the 31st year of the Meiji era (1898), the Lai family's ancestor, Zhang Rong-gong, relocated from Touzhang to the present-day Erfenpu and constructed a "erhe" (two combined courtyards) house. The original gateway of the "sanhe" (three combined courtyards) was built using earth, making it rather inconspicuous. In the 13th year of the Taisho era (1924), based on the suggestion of a geomancer from Tangshan, Chongren-gong constructed a new gateway to the south of the old one, believing that this would bring prosperity to the family. The new gateway was named "Jishan Building," signifying encouragement for future generations to do good and help others.
