The Huang family, located in Lizei Neishinong Village, is a prominent family in the former Dajia community. During the Qing Dynasty, several ancestors passed the imperial examinations and became jinshi or gongsheng, leading to the saying that the people of Huangcuo did not need to cross others' land to reach Guanyin Mountain, highlighting their wealth and status. In front of the Huangcuo Sanheyuan on Lane 143, Zhonghua Road, there are still a pair of flagstone pillars, commonly known as the "jinshi stones," which would have displayed official flags at the door of scholarly families to signify their status and rank. Inside Huangcuo, a private sedan chair, commonly known as the "jinshi chair," that was used by their ancestors is still preserved.

Scholar Stone and Scholar Sedan Chair Introduction

The Huang family, located in Shennong Village of Lizai Nei, is from the original Da She community (a well-known wealthy family, with several ancestors achieving the status of juren or gongsheng during the Qing Dynasty). It was said at that time that people from Huangcuo didn't need to cross anyone else's land to reach Guanyin Mountain, highlighting their wealth and influence. In front of the Huangcuo Sanhé Courtyard on Lane 143, Zhonghua Road, there is a pair of flagstone (commonly known as juren stone), where scholarly families would raise examination flags to signify their status and rank. The Huangcuo still retains a private sedan chair used by their ancestors, commonly referred to as the juren chair.
