One, Mou Family Estate — A History Class Spanning a Century
We arrived at the Mou Family Estate. The estate’s simple yet imposing gate seemed like a portal to another era, opening the door to a cultural exploration journey spanning a century. The nickname “the Little Forbidden City of the People” was perfectly justified at this moment. The magnificent complex of buildings, arranged in a harmonious and staggered fashion, exuded an air of solemnity and grandeur, radiating a unique charm. At the entrance, the team members posed for a memorable group photo, capturing the joyful beginning of their journey.

Led by our guide, we ventured deep into the estate, uncovering the mysteries behind its architecture. The estate's... The “Three Unusual Features”—a chimney standing outside the wall, doorways aligned in a straight line through the main hall, and underground passageways scattered throughout—have become the focus of everyone’s attention. These unique designs are not merely for novelty’s sake; rather, they embody the wisdom and life philosophy of our ancestors. The chimney standing outside the wall not only makes efficient use of space but also cleverly addresses the challenges of indoor heating and ventilation. The alignment of doorways in a straight line through the main hall creates a more open and airy layout for the entire courtyard, facilitating easy movement among family members and ensuring optimal air circulation. As for the underground passageways, they provide essential protection for the family’s safety and privacy. We can’t help but marvel at how these seemingly peculiar designs are, in fact, the fruit of the ancients’ ingenious adaptation to local conditions and their creative thinking—a vivid embodiment of the architectural wisdom of ancient times.

As we slowly made our way along the flagstone path, we arrived at the display area for “The Family Instructions of Tishu Zhai” and stood before Mou Molin’s former residence. Each of these family instructions is filled with precious words and wise sayings, conveying— The wisdom and strength of “cultivating oneself and harmonizing one’s family”; the exhibits and layout within Mou Molin’s former residence vividly illustrate this family’s rise and fall, as well as its profound cultural heritage. Here, we gain insight into the fine family tradition of passing down values through both farming and learning, and we come to appreciate the arduous yet magnificent journey of a family as it steadfastly upholds and carries forward its legacy through the long course of history.

II. Tai Xu Palace — A Poetic Haven Amidst Lake and Mountain Scenery
A boat tour of Tai Xu Palace is undoubtedly the highlight of this trip. We stepped aboard a beautifully decorated houseboat, and as the vessel slowly glided away from the shore, the shimmering lake surface unfolded like a mirror, reflecting the brilliant blue sky and the distant cluster of Tai Xu Palace’s buildings with their dark-tiled roofs and white walls. A gentle breeze brushed against our faces, bringing with it a refreshing coolness and crispness. In that moment, it felt as if we had stepped into a slowly unfolding landscape painting—every worry and fatigue seemed to be washed away by the serene beauty of the lake and mountains.
