Where is the red lantern hanging high?

"Hanging the Red Lantern High" was shot in the Qiao Family Courtyard.

The Qiao Family Courtyard, also known as the "Middle Temple", is the residence of Qiao Zhiyong, a famous commercial and financial capitalist in the Qing Dynasty. The Qiao Family Courtyard is the earliest restored and opened courtyard of Shanxi merchants, which is famous at home and abroad because of Zhang Yimou's "Hanging the Red Lantern High".

Walking into the Qiao family with deep courtyard walls, you can see red lanterns hanging high. At the end of the road, there are four particularly eye-catching red lanterns with the words Qiao Family Courtyard written on them.

Red lanterns seem to be the standard of the Qiao family courtyard, but in fact, the original Qiao family courtyard did not hang red lanterns, and the plot in the movie has nothing to do with the history of the Qiao family. Only at that time, Zhang Yimou chose the location of Qiao's compound, and hung many red lanterns when shooting. Later, I didn't take it off after filming, and I have been wearing it like this until now.

Architectural style of Qiao compound

The Qiao family compound faces the street on the third side and is not connected with the surrounding houses. Entering the gate of Qiaojiayuan is an 80-meter-long straight stone tunnel, which divides six courtyards into two rows, north and south, with slope protection on both sides of the tunnel. At the end of the west is the ancestral hall of the Qiao family, which corresponds to the distant gate. There are four main buildings in the compound, including six gatehouses, watchtowers and watchtowers.

There are walkways on the roof of each courtyard to patrol and protect the courtyard, which shows the lifestyle of feudal families in northern China. Not only has the overall aesthetic feeling, but also has its own characteristics in local buildings. Even more than 40 chimneys on the roof/kloc-0 have their own characteristics.

Pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, piled with Gionee powder. The periphery is a closed brick wall, the height of which exceeds 10 meter. The upper floor is a wall-mounted crib for women, with more floors. The gate sits west facing east, with a high top floor, a doorway in the middle and a brick-carved longevity painting opposite the gate.
