Zhang Family Ancestral Hall in Tong'an Introduction
The Zhang Family Ancient House, located in Tong'an Village, Ancuo Li, Ziqiang District, was built during the Qing Dynasty and is the best-preserved Fujian-style Sanheyuan residence in Ziqiang District. Most of the residents of Tong'an Village are immigrants from Tong'an, Fujian, during the Ming-Zheng period, who settled in the fertile Ziqiang Plain. The Zhang family, known for its favorable location and outstanding people, owns a spacious Sanheyuan that symbolizes the family's wealth and prosperity. The ancient house features a relatively rare two-section red-tiled brick architecture, complete with eaves and dragon protectors. The roof's ridge and bird step, along with the beautiful floral patterns on the windows, highlight its elegance. The words "Meihui" are inscribed on the lintel of the main hall, while the antique lighting fixtures in the hall speak of the history and charm of the past. The intricate wooden carvings and decorative elements reflect the life and majestic refinement of the house's original owner.
