520    In the late Qing dynasty (1644-1911) a Chinese merchant 
       named Huang built a house for his family in a small, 
       remote village in the southeastern region of Huizhou in 
       China's Anhui Province. He named the house Yin Yu Tang. 
       For seven generations, members of the Huang family ate, 
       slept, laughed, cried, married, and gave birth in the 
       house. By the mid-1990s, the surviving Huang family 
       members moved away leaving the house empty and abandoned. 
       In 1997 the house was moved to the Peabody Essex Museum in
       Salem, Massachusetts, and opened as a permanent 
       exhibit.Yin Yu Tang provides a fascinating, in-depth look 
       at Chinese domestic culture, architecture, craftsmanship, 
       history, and the impact of these influences on individual 
       lives. Nancy Berliner, one of the country's foremost 
       experts on Chinese furniture and arts, takes the reader on
       a tour of this unique homestead providing detail on Yin Yu
       Tang's architecture, construction methods, decoration, 
       furniture, and family heirlooms. She weaves a story of 
       Chinese domestic life, culture, and the remarkable 
       restoration and reconstruction at the Peabody Essex Museum
       in America.

       Cheng, Communist revolution, death, education, fengshui,
