His former residence in Qin Ying has two places in Nidang, Xingyi City:
The former residence of Storm Bend covers an area of 10 mu, and is built on the mountain with stones as its fortress. These houses are equipped with gun holes in fortresses and stone walls. In case of attack, they can defend themselves according to the fortress. The stone castle seems to be built on a "Huilong" faucet, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, firm and calm. The building in the fort consists of a main hall, a hatchback, a garden and a fish pond. The main hall is five rooms wide and 30 meters long, with hard mountain wood structure and three floors and triple eaves. Doors, windows and pillars are all carved with traditional carving techniques in China. Many lifelike patterns such as flowers, birds, insects, fish, liger and dragons and phoenixes are elegant, solemn, rich and beautiful. There are plum, orchid, bamboo and other patterns carved on the base of the column, which is like a series of ink paintings, and it is a masterpiece of rock carving with superb skills. Hanging beads under the eaves, like a red light hanging high, make the whole building more artistic. The former residence has been more than twice as high, indicating that it has been rising steadily, but it is unknown because who in the family was raised after promotion.
One is in Mudang Street. Located halfway up the mountain, it consists of front hall, hatchback and main hall, all with one floor and one bottom. The patio in the yard is inlaid with slate. There are more than 100 stone carving patterns in the courtyard, among which the word "diving kite" engraved on the stone skirt under the window is the most eye-catching. Its book is a running script, each word is about 60 cm square, and its calligraphy is as smooth as a dragon, free and easy, with appropriate engraving depth and meticulous washing, which can be called a masterpiece of calligraphy. There are hills in northern Guangxi and valleys in Qian Shan in front of the courtyard. At first glance, watching "Wan Ma Benteng" in the morning and "Wan Ma Gui Gou" at night is really magnificent. According to folklore, this thousand peaks and mountains are like millions of soldiers, the mountain behind them is like a general, and He's former residence is a general, which is called "the general points soldiers". He's former residence not only contains the ingenuity and skillful craftsman of nature, but also reflects Mr. He's extraordinary life from its special side.
You can go and see it sometime. He Qin Ying is also a character!
