Introduction to the Shangfang: The Shangfang (senior residence) is the tallest building in the manor. It can also be said to be a symbol of power and status. The elders of the Kang family have lived here. The central painting on the front, "Picture of Pines and Cranes Prolonging Life", was a birthday gift given to Mrs. Xiao, the wife of Kang Wuyan, the 16th generation owner of the Kang family, when she celebrated her 100th birthday. It was said in ancient times that "people become rarer when they reach seventy." Mrs. Xiao lived to be 105 years old. She has lived under the same roof for five generations and is highly respected. No wonder others want to respect her as a fairy.
