Where is this in the Qiao Family Courtyard?

The "Zhizu Pavilion" is a beautifully carved door cover. This brick carving has a bat on the upper end and flowing clouds on the lower end, collectively known as "Wanfu Liuyun". Surrounding the "Province Proverb" from left to right is the "Eight Immortals" picture. The longevity peach at the top and the eight dark immortals around it together form the "Eight Immortals Birthday Blessing Picture". There are three halberds inserted into the bottles on both sides. "Ping" is the same as "Bottle", and "Ji" is the same as "Level", which means "Peaceful and safe promotion to three levels in a row". The two sides of the lower end are "Double Happiness". Lions are often seen rolling embroidered balls when people are having social troubles. The lion is a happy lion, which means joy. People often say: "Lions rolling embroidered balls, the good things come later.". Zhizu Pavilion is not only exquisitely carved, but also has profound meaning.

The brick carvings in the pavilion are "Provincial Proverbs" written by Zhao Tieshan, the son-in-law of the Qiao family and a famous calligrapher in central Jinzhong at that time. ”, “province” means awareness, “fen” means propriety and duty, and “proverb” is a style of exhortation and admonishment. The font written by Zhao Tieshan is round and vigorous, and the whole article is full of book style, which is integrated with the written content. Its content comes from the "Song Wenjian" compiled by Lu Zujian, a philosopher and writer of the Southern Song Dynasty. The article explains the natural properties of animals, plants, metals and other substances in nature, as well as the development, rise and fall of human society and other phenomena, clarifying the relationship between everything in the world. It comes from nature, and it exhorts people to follow the laws of nature, be content, and not be greedy, so that they can have a good destiny.
