Leaning on the southern foot of Snake Mountain, near the first line of Minmin Road, there are mostly famous mansions and mansions, then you can see the western-style houses of the last century, or a combination of Chinese and Western, or Western classical architecture, or townhouses, or single villas, the owners are either rich businessmen or magnates, all of whom are the people who went to the wind at that time. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was state-owned and became an administrative office building, or a training institution of a community hall, or a sub-district office. In the 80s, the private housing policy was implemented and handed over to the descendants of the owner.

The pedestal and the one-meter wall base present the atmosphere and solidity of granite, with blue bricks and white walls and red tile slope roofs, which are strong and bright and solemn.

The whole building was built by the great-grandfather Yuan Xue'an. Great-grandfather is the master of Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, who started from the business of tea, brick tea, cotton and linen, tung oil, etc., and has a production base in his hometown, a factory and a store in Wuhan, and a private wharf on Wusheng Road. Zhang Zhidong often has a habit when dealing with official documents, that is, to act spontaneously. Often, when dealing with a certain matter, when the mind turns to another problem, I will casually throw away the official documents in my hand, look through the classics, or look for other official documents. Therefore, Zhang Zhidong's study is very messy and messy. But Yuan Xue'an, because of his unforgettable memory and amazing memory, can often help Zhang Zhidong find what he wants.

Zhang Zhidong is inseparable from him in many ways, because he knows the boss's mind and is willing to act as a striker, when he encounters any problems, he understands the meaning of the boss, offends people, the boss is not good to come forward, he comes forward, hot things, the boss should not do, he comes to do, difficult people, the boss is inconvenient to meet, he comes to entertain, and also wipes the boss's ass with practical actions, which is similar to the boss's bragging, what to do, just break the boss's boasting cow, it's okay. He regarded himself as a master, scheming and calculating, Ru Rou and spit out, and sowed two, both the shrewdness and greed of a businessman, and the domineering and treacherous of a politician.

Yuan Mansion, because Yuan Shijie was Chiang Kai-shek's senior staff, one of the most wanted war criminals, was confiscated and turned into the Wuchang District Qunyi Museum, the main building is a library, an art room, a dance studio, a calligraphy room, and the bungalows on both sides are staff dormitories. Li Changying with his children, only rented a house in Hubu Lane to live, even though life is in an embarrassment, he is very charitable to several children, rarely loses his temper, but he is also very strict in supervising his studies, and requires his children to recite Tang poems and Song poems since childhood, and also puts forward the "five musts": good conduct, diligence in studying, abstinence from bad habits, caution in making friends, and hard life.

In the 80s, the state implemented the private housing policy and returned it to the Yuan family, like an independent nun, standing there arrogantly, without quarrel with the world, making people feel that the present world is stable and the years are quiet. Uncle Yuan Hongyuan, a professor at Wuhan University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, already has a house on campus, and his second aunt Yuan Jingyuan, a researcher at the Institute of Foreign Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, settled in Beijing, and both said that they would not participate in the continuation of the ancestral home. The father and the third uncle discussed, the property was valued, divided into four shares, the part of the uncle and the second aunt, their family each paid 100,000 yuan to buy, the first floor was shared by the residents, the public passage, the third uncle's family lived on the second floor, the third floor was allocated to Yuan Huanxuan, the fourth floor and the attic were on standby for the time being, and the award was intended to be given to outstanding people in the clan. The bungalows on both wings serve as temporary residences for people surnamed Yuan who are scattered all over the world to come to the provincial capital to do business.

After Yuan Qiuhua returned to the city as the child of educated youth, he lived on the third floor, and ate and washed in the backyard on the first floor.
