In the minds of some tourists, anything related to ancient characters has always been felt. All places are worth visiting. These places are often full of vicissitudes of life. Whether it is buildings, ancient streets, or shops left over from ancient times, they have attracted countless tourists. Although some ancient villages are located in relatively remote locations, tourists will still visit them in their spare time to satisfy their little wishes. There is an ancient residential complex in Putian, Fujian Province, which is more than 200 years old and was built with the participation of the Lian family. This is the Qianlian ancient residence located in Xianyou County, Putian City. It consists of 16 large houses connected to each other and built in the style of a T-shaped ancient residence about five miles long.

It is reported that the ancient residence of Qianlian covers an area of ??16,000 square meters, and the building faces south. With the continuous growth of the members of the Lian family, the area of ??the ancient residence of the Lian family is also expanding. It is the only ancient residential building complex in the shape of a T-shape in China, and its scale is extremely shocking. The ancient residential complexes that have been preserved to this day still retain the construction style from the Qing Dynasty. From the buildings of this scale, we can also see how strong the family is.

The building uses bluestone as the base, and the ancient house is built with red bricks. It looks very majestic from a distance, with a suspended top, a mixed wooden frame with buckets, carrying beams, left and right guardhouses, and a roof. The swallow-tail ridges on the top all show the Puxian red bricks and the architectural features of local ancient houses. Even the couplets displayed on the gates of ancient houses can reveal the glorious history of the family. There are also some ancient houses with rich ancient atmosphere such as stone carvings, wood carvings and brick carvings everywhere.

Until now, the Lian family’s ancient residential complex still retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are more than 10,000 members of the Lian family. They have traveled all over the country, and the Lian family’s ancient residences left behind Most of the residential buildings are occupied by left-behind elderly people. The residences of local people are built on the periphery of Lian's T-shaped ancient residential complex. Therefore, tourists who come here will see a beautiful landscape of bungalows, wrapping the ancient bridges, ancient residential groups, ancient palaces, temples and old streets of Qianlian Village.

The village still retains the old historical style and layout. Looking around here, no matter whose ancient residence hall, there are plaques awarded by emperors of the past dynasties to capable people with lofty ideals. Especially in the Xiangong residence, there is a plaque in the center of the hall with the words "Xuantang Yanxi" written on it. According to legend, this plaque was specially sent by the palace dignitaries to congratulate Lian's mother, Lin, when she celebrated her 80th birthday. Directly opposite the mansion is Wenbi Peak, which the locals regard as a geomantic treasure.

After arriving in Qianlian Village, in addition to the T-shaped ancient houses that are hard to take away, there are also many cultural relics here, all of which are worth visiting. Have you heard anything about the ancient residential complex in Qianlian Village?
