Introduction to Qiu Shuangzhai: is the residence of Jia Tanchun, the third daughter of the Jia family. She is the daughter of Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao. She is a bright and cheerful person. She lives in three houses with no partitions in the middle. There is a large rosewood marble case, and on the wall are Minangong's large-scale landscape painting "Yu Tu" and a couplet written by Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty: "The haze idles the bones, and the spring and stone wild life".
There are two Xifu Begonias planted in the courtyard, with luxuriant branches and leaves. There are several Qingtong trees planted in the backyard, so the plaque reads "Tong Cuts Autumn Wind". Because there are bananas planted in the courtyard, Tanchun is part of the "Begonia Poetry Society". The name is "Jiao Xia Ke".
There is an octagonal pavilion standing on the rocks in the southeast corner of Qiu Shuangzhai, called the Moon Appreciation Pavilion. It is one of the commanding heights in the Grand View Garden. Opposite it is the moon worship platform. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Mu leads everyone to worship the sky here. Worship ancestors and pray for good luck.
