Commemoration of future generations
Fu Hou Tang, Zeng Guofan's former residence, also known as Hou Yong Mansion, is Zeng Guofan's Hou Fu. Futuo Village, Ye He Town, located in the east of Shuangfeng County, Loudi City, Hunan Province, is adjacent to Xiangxiang City, Xiangtan County, Hengshan County and Hengyang County, with a total area of over 40,000 square meters and a main building of nearly 10,000 square meters. It is a typical cloister-style building complex in Ming and Qing dynasties symmetrical along the central axis.
Fuguitang sits facing south, and the half-moon Aoyushan facing back is surrounded by Fuguitang from southeast and west. From a distance, Fu Hou seems to be sitting in an armchair of Tang. The surrounding natural environment is beautiful, with dense trees in the back hill and towering old trees. In front of the door is a relatively open flat land with an eastward river. This apartment is surrounded by mountains and peaks.
Zeng Guofan's former residence has been identified as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit by relevant departments.
