Since then, the thatched cottage has been revived and abandoned many times, with the largest two rebuilds, namely, the 13th year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1500) and the 16th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 1 1), which basically laid the foundation for the scale and layout of the thatched cottage today.
