Lasting influence

Chengzhi Hall in Huangshan's Yixian county is a classic example of Huizhou architecture. The former residence of Qing Dynasty salt merchant Wang Dinggui, it is known for its outstanding wood carvings. Visitors often feel their eyes can barely take in all the beautiful examples around the complex.

One beam in the main hall is decorated with a carving depicting a Tang Dynasty (618-907) prince's party, which many officials are attending. The carving is intricate, and all the figures are painstakingly carved, including the servant in the right corner brewing tea, and another in the left corner cleaning the ears of an official.

The carving symbolizes the owner's wish to become an official, says Huang Jie, vice-president of the Yixian Huihuang Tourism Development Group, which is responsible for promoting scenic spots in the area.

She explains that the carvings embody Wang's aspirations. Beyond conveying his ambition to attain an official position, they also symbolize his drive for prosperity in business, his wishes for the longevity of elderly relatives, and his desire for the flourishing of his descendants.

"In the past, people could grasp the homeowner's mindset by examining these carvings, as they encapsulated the owner's aspirations and wishes. Consequently, buildings served not only as residential spaces but also as spiritual sanctuaries for their inhabitants," she adds.
