Scholar Stone and Scholar Sedan Chair Introduction
The Huang family located in Shennong Village, Lijia Nei, is a prominent family of the original Dasha Community (known for being wealthy), whose ancestors achieved successful academic honors during the Qing Dynasty, including several who passed the imperial examination or were listed as "gongsheng". It was said at that time that the residents of Huangzuo did not need to cross anyone else's land to reach Guanyin Mountain, illustrating their wealth and influence. In front of the Huangzuo Sanheyuan at Lane 143, Zhonghua Road, one can still see a pair of stones known as the "scholar stones," which were traditionally raised with flags in front of scholarly households to signify their status and rank. The Huangzuo still preserves the private sedan used by their ancestors, commonly referred to as the "scholar's sedan."
