From the 19th year of Ming Yongle (1421) Lu Ruicheng Jinshi, to the mid-century of the Qing Dynasty, many large-scale houses were built one after another. The complete Ming and Qing residential complexes are also typical feudal family settlements. In 1988, it became a national key cultural relics protection unit.
