Since the Yuan Dynasty,

Whether it is a man of the hour or a scholar,

Whether it is a prince, a minister, or a wealthy businessman,

have been long or short

Live in a courtyard house in Beijing.

After understanding the structure of the Siheyuan,

Why not go with Xiaobu?

Visit these royal palaces and former residences of celebrities

and in museums,

Looking back at these courtyards and this city,

And this country's past

Historical changes.

Prince Gong's Mansion

Historically, Beijing's private garden architecture

reached a very high level,

The most representative one is the Wangfu Garden.

And some of the gardens of the nobles,

The Prince Gong Mansion Garden , Prince Chun Mansion Garden , Ke Garden and others that have been preserved to this day are all outstanding representatives.

Lama Temple

Among the temples in Beijing, Lama Temple is unique.

Different from ordinary temples,

The architectural layout here

The regulations of the royal palace are still retained.

In addition to Wanfu Pavilion,

On the 400-meter-long central axis of the Lama Temple

There are also seven courtyards arranged in sequence.

Dongsi Hutong Museum

Go south from Dongsi, through several alleys,

Turning into a quiet street,

That is "Ministry of the Interior Street".

Although it is called street,

It's just an alley.

The original name of the hutong was "Goulan Hutong".

Later, because the Qing Dynasty set up the Ministry of Internal Affairs here,

People renamed it "Ministry of the Interior Street".

Xuannan Cultural Museum

Today in Beijing,

The ancient courtyard is hidden in the deep alleys.

Searching and searching,

Find a few places you can enter in person.

It's always delightful.

The old Beijing sentiment in the courtyard still retains its warmth.

Seems within reach.

Former Residence of Lu Xun

Stepping into the spacious gate of the Luxun Museum,

Passing through the vine trellis that spans east and west,

There is a white marble arched round door on the left.

The banner on the round gate reads

“The old site of West San Tiao at Gongmenkou”

Several dignified and beautiful gilded regular scripts.

Enter the archway and walk a few steps forward.

You will see a small black double-leaf gate.

This is Lu Xun's former residence.

Former Residence of Lao She

Lao She lived in many places throughout his life.

Many cities have Lao She Memorial Halls.

Based on the former residence of Lao She in Beijing

Lao She Memorial Hall

It is undoubtedly one of the more important ones.

In a sense,

This place has become a cultural symbol of Beijing.

Beijing is a city full of hidden talents. The people who once lived in the old courtyards and the historical events that once took place in the old houses still have a profound impact on the city and people's lives. Walking into those houses and courtyards full of stories, the historical weight and cultural connotations you feel are completely different from what you get when reading books, and it can also allow more people to understand the cultural heritage of this city more intuitively. Perhaps this is the significance of Beijing's vigorous promotion of the protection of urban cultural heritage.
