In Zhangyan Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai, there is a rarely-seen five-courtyard residence. Its whitewashed walls and black tiles give it a poetic charm. In this episode, we will visit Yao Guang's former residence, a spacious mansion, to experience the charm of Jiangnan folk mansions. A hundred years ago, Yao Guang, a bibliophile and literary figure during the late Qing Dynasty, lived a remarkable life in this idyllic home, surrounded by books, friends, and his own writings.
