The land of Sanjin, the number one residence of the Chinese people

Wang is a surname, a surname is half a country; Home is a courtyard, a courtyard is half a city. Wang's Grand Courtyard, located in the historic and cultural town of Jingsheng, was built by the Jingsheng Wang family over more than 300 years during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is a fully enclosed castle-style luxury residence, including five alleys, six forts, and one street, with a total area of 250,000 square meters, which is 100,000 square meters larger than the Forbidden City. The Hongmenbao architectural complex is both a fort and a city, built against the mountain, arranged in four layers of courtyards from low to high, symmetrical on the left and right, with a main thoroughfare in the middle, forming a regular 'Wang' character shape, and also a hidden 'dragon' shape. The 88 courtyards within the fort each have their own characteristics, none of which are identical. Wang's Grand Courtyard is famous for the 'three carvings': wood carving, stone carving, and brick carving, all displayed in one courtyard, with a number and craftsmanship that are rare in the world
