Kangjiachang

Kang Jia Courtyard, Dadezhuang, Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou. The Kang family in Dadezhuang used to be a rich family in Yuxian, and they were famous. So far, people have talked about the Kang family and praised it!

The Kang family has a long history. From the Ming Dynasty, two brothers, Kang Long and Kang Hu, became rich in business, and their business extended from the north to the south. However, the Kang family ruled the family by virtue and helped the poor. During the reign of Kangxi, he donated money to the imperial court, and there is a stone tablet in the southwest corner of Konka quadrangle as proof.

Konka quadrangle used to be a nine-chain quadrangle, which is very rare. It's a pity that there is only one yard left, but from this yard, you can still feel the owner's rich financial resources and luxurious life.

Due to family changes, the Kang family left the Kang family compound one after another, leaving the building empty and in disrepair. After liberation, the yard was owned by the state.

Yuanzili structure

The gate is wide and high, and the gatehouse is made of wood, with stone carvings and wood carvings. It entered the spacious courtyard, flanked by wing rooms. On the ground in the southwest corner of the courtyard, there is a merit monument in the Kangxi period.

Entering the courtyard, you need to pass through an exquisite gatehouse, which is the highlight of the whole courtyard. Not as wide as the gate, but the structure and scenery are exquisite, with wood structure and wood carving. Peach swords are hung on both sides of the gatehouse to ward off evil spirits. On both sides of the gatehouse are two neat stone shadow walls, which are very beautiful and atmospheric.

After entering the courtyard, it is a spacious courtyard with a main room and an east-west wing. On both sides of the main room, there are icons in the east and west wing. There is a revolving door in the aisle of the main room and the east wing, which is the aisle leading to another yard. Now the door is blocked.

The glory of the Kang Family Courtyard is gone forever. The descendants of the Kang family are all in other places. There are no descendants of Kang in this village, but there are still people named Kang in the village, but they are not related to Kang. They are all servants of the Kang family, and they are all people who have helped the Kang family to give their surnames.

Hundreds of years have passed, but the story of the Kang family has been circulated among the people.
