Introduction to the Weeping Flower Gate: It is a palace-style ridge with carved beams and painted pillars and two obvious inverted flowers, hence the name "Weeping Flower Gate". It is the inner courtyard gate of a wealthy family and plays a decorative and concealing role. On both sides of the door are green roof walls with flower windows. The door in the middle is a screen. It is not opened normally and can only be walked from both sides. It is only when a wealthy lady comes to visit that the doors are opened. Entering from here, six courtyards are connected from front to back and connected layer by layer. In each courtyard, the main room and the east and west wings are connected by curved corridors and painted buildings. There is a cross-shaped corridor in the courtyard, with a variety of lilac, magnolia, crabapple and other flowers and trees on both sides, making it even more quiet and refined. Looking back from the hanging flower gate, the entire Jia Mu Yuan is magnificent and the typical architectural styles of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties can be seen at a glance.
