Zhongshu Hall was built in 1922 and is the residence of the first scholar in Beipu during the Qing Dynasty. The strength and beauty of traditional architecture fully showcase the cultural convergence of the Beipu area. The building blends Chinese and Western styles, with a beautiful Baroque-style archway next to the entrance, whose unique appearance is hard to ignore. The interior is a traditional three-section courtyard residence. Whether it's the exterior walls, roof ridges, or beams and columns, there is exquisite craftsmanship, making it a highly representative literati residence of that era. Its plasterwork craftsmanship is particularly exquisite, with delicate decorative techniques embodying the beauty of traditional artisans' skills, and the integration of Chinese and Western styles makes the architectural style more diverse and rich. Its preservation and revitalization not only continue the spirit of Beipu's traditional architecture but also provide a valuable historical space for local cultural development. Zhongshu Hall is not only a refined Hakka traditional residence but also an important representative of Beipu's settlement culture.
