The continuation/abbreviation of Shaoxing
Shell buttons are the first generation of professional buttons in China. They are located in Xitang, a water town in Hangjiahu Plain, and are rich in shell raw materials. In the past, ODA buttons on shirts were all made of mussels rich in Jiangnan. Small buttons of shirts must be cut, polished, punched, bleached and shaped. At that time, the button production machines were mostly operated by people's feet, which was pure physical labor. In the "Button Museum", there is a master who interprets the making process of shell buttons on the spot.
Xue Zhai was built in 1926 (in the 15th year of the Republic of China), located in the north of Zhaixi Street, with a total area of about 350 square meters. It faces the street and the river, and is a typical commercial and residential residence in this town.
Xue Zhai's architecture has three characteristics. The first is shallowness. Looking down from a height, I saw a small courtyard in the zigzag house, which was connected and had nothing to say. It's only about 30 meters from the street to the river.
Secondly, Jane who didn't accompany her went in and out through the gate, but when she went upstairs, there were two stairs. Besides, there is no fancy decoration in the details of the whole building.
The third is light, which is contrary to the traditional custom of focusing on darkness and hiding wealth. All the windows are fitted with glass. The glass window is decorated with flower-shaped window grilles, which also looks very pleasing to the eye.

The whole Xue Zhai is a brick-wood structure with two walls. Along the streets of Chiyo, the four bays are zigzag, with three lanes in the east and one in the west. The East Third Room, which is now open, is the main entrance, and there are counters on the left and right sides to supply tourist souvenirs and antiques.
The wall worn by Xuezhai is about 6 meters deep, and the construction method and structure are still traditional. The roof is herringbone, but it is much higher than the average resident. It is still very prominent in the residential buildings in Tangxi Town during this period.
The backstage is the main hall, and there is a small courtyard between the front and the backstage. The yard is small, with narrow rooms left and right, just like a corridor. The wing has long glass windows and can see the yard. Due to the installation of glass, the lighting is much brighter than that of traditional houses.
The main hall is also a three-bay, with square bricks on the ground and columns in the middle. Nagato blocked the second half, leaving half a room across the threshold and leading to the river. On the right are stairwells and kitchens, which are compact in structure. The main hall is connected to the left and right hatchbacks, like two tiger feet.
Xitang town: Xitang, called Xietang in ancient times. The town was built in the Ming Dynasty, with Yong 'an and Qianshan Township as the boundary. It was first named Xietang and later Xitang. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu stationed troops in this county, dug Wuzitang to build water conservancy projects, and brought the water from Xushan to the territory, so it was also called Xutang. Xitang town is located in the north of Jiashan County, at the junction of Shanghai and Nanjing provinces, with a superior geographical position, and is known as the Five Crossing Corners. It is 90km from Shanghai in the east, Hangzhou 1 10km in the west, 85km from Suzhou in the north and 9km from Jiashan County in the south. The geographical location of the town center is east longitude120 53' and north latitude 30 56'. Waterway and land
