Brief introduction of Zhen Fu building

Zhenfulou is located in Xia Nanxi, Hukeng Town, with beautiful scenery. "Danshan shows the phoenix, and the water is clear." This couplet accurately depicts the landscape picture of Zhen Fu architecture in harmony with its surrounding environment. The gate of Zhen Fu Building faces the ever-flowing Nanxi. The stream is wide and gentle, and the stones are lying in the river. The riverbanks on both sides are high, thick and strong. Not far from the bridge, there are deep pools and clear waters, and the ancient banyan trees are lush, such as umbrellas. If you stand on the village road on the other side of the gate and look back at Zhen Fu Building, you can see that the roof of Zhen Fu Building is just between the mountains on both sides of the canyon, and the building is neither high nor short, which just plays a transitional role between the two mountains. It can be said that the beautiful and quiet pastoral environment centered on Zhenfulou is a masterpiece of the integration of heaven and earth.

This kind of scenery was chosen as the main picture at the beginning of the 8-episode TV series "Tulou Family". Zhen Fu Building is also a magnificent circular building, which is designed according to the eight diagrams layout. This building uses a lot of stones and bricks, and it is finely carved. It is also an earth building with exotic soil and a combination of Chinese and western cultures, and is called the "sister building" of Sincere Building. Zhen Fu Building covers an area of more than 4,000 square meters, with 3 halls and 96 rooms. The central hall is 20 feet high and 20 feet wide, with granite columns on both sides, engraved with couplets of "Revitalization Prospect, Happiness and Prosperity". On the right outside the building are the former tobacco manufacturing workshops and workers' houses. The collapsed building on the left was originally a western-style school and amusement park, which was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Zhen Fu Building was built in 19 13. Su Zhentai, the builder of the building, was born in poverty. After studying in a private school for several years, I first learned to plan cigarettes and then learned to sell them. I made a fortune in tobacco business in Guangdong and Shanghai. I chose this land of geomantic omen, and built Zhen Fu Mansion with tens of thousands of oceans. Su Zhentai has many descendants, including hundreds overseas, many of whom are experts and scholars.
