This prominent luxury mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. As you might expect, this is again the residence of Zhang Songxian, one of the ‘Four Elephants’ in Nanxun. Later, Zhang Jingjiang, the grandson of Zhang Songxian, inherited this house. After Zhang Jingjiang met Mr. Sun Yat-sen in Europe, he continuously provided financial support to the latter’s revolutionary work. How deep is the former residence? The former residence is a traditional three-entry and five-room building in the Qing Dynasty. Each entry has one hall and five rooms. There is a patio between each entry. Each entry is higher than the previous one. This is the legendary step-by-step promotion.
The interior decoration is simple and grand. The carvings in the details are extremely testing of the craftsman’s skills. The unique and exquisite brick carvings behind the front and rear gates have the meaning of adding the finishing touch and must not be missed.
Compared with large mansions of the same period, the former residence of Zhang Jingjiang is very unique. In terms of architectural style, it does not incorporate Western architectural elements, and the overall style is more simple and serene.
