Some old houses in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the Daohe ancient block of Taizhou, Jiangsu Province are not suitable for modern people to live and live, nor do they meet the requirements for safe use. These old houses that have experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes are real antiques that have passed through the long river of history and still remain in their original state, which is very different from the antique buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties that appeared on a large scale in various places.
We see a two-story house across the small road from north to south from the small river Daohe River in the city, which is an old house in the Ming and Qing dynasties that sits west and faces east. Tourists passing by this house will be surprised and say, "This house is too small, how can there be such a building." "Don't blame the out-of-town friends who ask this kind of question, because this single-story two-story Ming and Qing Dynasty building is really too small, and the second floor only looks like it can only fit two large beds. Locals don't have such doubts, because this house is actually an "old friend" who has existed for as long as they can remember and has quietly accompanied them for decades, and no one will be interested in talking about an old friend.
This two-story Ming and Qing dynasty building facing the street is not only very small, but also very thin, which makes people have many questions about the reality that the papier-mâché-like house still exists after hundreds of years of wind and rain.
There used to be a large number of old houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties in the ancient neighborhood of Daohe in Taizhou, but this kind of original old houses of the Ming and Qing dynasties is gradually decreasing, because many old houses of the Ming and Qing dynasties have undergone rebirth, and the old houses that have been stripped of the aging appearance of the weak wind are not much different from the current popular antique buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
