Dafudi+Erdi Academy

The homework of Zhongshi is really difficult to do, and it is a headache. Erdi Academy, located in Shuitou Village, Jintian, was built by Deng's family in Jintian. As early as the 11th century, Deng people began to settle in the fertile plains of Jin Tianyi. According to legend, Erdi Academy was built at the end of Daoguang (1821-kloc-0/850) to commemorate Wenchang and Guandi and provide a place for lectures and teaching. The statue of the second emperor was originally dedicated to the Feng Shui Tower near the college. According to legend, the tower can help the children of this ethnic group take the imperial examinations in high schools, but it was later demolished. Sixteen gentry in the village organized Deng Er to build and run an academy named after his second brother. Erdi Academy is purely for teaching purposes, so its structure is simple and practical.

◎ Dafudi is located in Yongping Village, Xintian, Yuen Long. Description: Known as the land of great happiness, it is naturally the residence of scholars with official titles. The owner of Dafu is Wen Songluan, who can be said to be a glorious ancestor. Even Emperor Guangxu gave him a book to praise his parents and grandparents. Built in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, it is a quadrangle-style building with a fence around the front yard. There is a plaque on the lintel of the main entrance with the words "Great Blessed Land" written in red paint. The doorframe and wall base of the main entrance are granite with blue bricks on them. There are many decorations on the top of the wall and roof. Shiwan characters are like pottery figures burned on the wall, which are similar in form and spirit. Unfortunately, the heads of most ceramic figures are "missing". Although the whole house is a traditional building in China, only the lintel of the Chinese archway is carved with European carvings, and the Chinese screen is inlaid with colored glass, which is a successful example of "communication" between Chinese and Western cultures! Compared with other ancient cultural relics, Dafu has more "humanistic" elements. There are eleven small stoves and three large stoves in the kitchen on the left side of the door, showing the luxury of the rich. In the back and on the right, there is a "three-seat" toilet, which is of great historical value. The older ones are unforgettable, and the younger ones are definitely amazing! Wen's ancestors have lived in Xintian since the 15th century. Wen Songluan built this mansion in the fourth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1865). "Dafu Land" is one of the most brilliant traditional buildings in Hong Kong, which is famous for its exquisite architecture and decoration. With the assistance of Hong Kong Jockey Club, the restoration project was completed in 1988. ◎ Erdi Academy ◎ Located in Shuitou Village, Jintian, it was built by Deng in Jintian.
