Scenic spot introduction:

The Liu family residence is an extremely rare Ming and Qing cultural art complex that combines the architectural styles of the north and the south. It was built by the descendants of Liu Zongyuan, a famous politician and writer in the Tang Dynasty of my country, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. From courtyard houses, ancestral halls, temples, balconies to wood and stone carvings, plaques and tomb inscriptions, they all contain exquisite architectural art and profound cultural connotations. Liu's residence is located in (Tai) Hang (Wang) House, Xiwenxing Village, Qinshui County, in the hinterland of Lishan Mountain. This place is surrounded by mountains and peaks, with Lutai in the north and Wangwu in the south. Thousands of mountains compete with each other and the peaks are towering green. Xiwenxing Village is a thousand-year-old village that began in the late Tang Dynasty and was inhabited by blood relatives of the Liu family in Hedong. Today, there are still 56 families living in the village, with a population of more than 220, almost all of whom belong to the Liu family. The family surnamed Liu has followed the ancestral precepts for generations, and their ancestors have lived in the deep mansion compound left by their ancestors for generations, and have thrived for generations.
