Introduction to the official corridor: The antique Wupin Guanlang was built in the 23rd year of Qianlong (1758). It is a stacked beam style in Huizhou architecture. The corridor is 9.9 meters long and 2.56 meters wide. It has an octagonal double-layer structure. The roof has cornices and angular corners, which is a typical Huizhou porch construction. The official corridor has four columns and three openings, with a main passage in the middle and side passages on both sides. It was built according to the patriarchal ritual and music system of the feudal society at that time. There is a giant 3.3-meter-high unicorn sculpture on each side in front. According to folklore, "Touch the unicorn's head, and everything will start well; touch the unicorn's back, and you will be prosperous and wealthy; touch the unicorn's mouth, and the couple will not quarrel; touch the unicorn's claws, and you will have a lifetime." You won’t get sick; if you touch the unicorn’s tail, you will live a hundred years longer.”
