Under Zhao Zhijie's introduction, Yu Xiaolian thoroughly understood the structure of this house.
Within each courtyard of this residence, there are five or seven main rooms, with wooden partitions or floor screens inside, and some main and side rooms have verandas.
The five-room layout consists of three main rooms and two side rooms, with separate entry doors for the side rooms.
The seven-room layout features two suites connected to the main rooms between the main and side rooms.
There are three rooms in each east and west wing, with a corridor between the wing and side rooms leading to the backyard.
To the south of the east and west wings, there is a courtyard wall dividing the yard into inner and outer sections.
In the middle of the courtyard wall, there's a moon gate, behind which stands a shadow wall.
In the outer courtyard, there are one or two "deer top" rooms on each side.
