Yuci County Government, located on the north side of the East Street in Yuci Old Town, is a well-preserved county-level government office in my country and a must-see in Yuci Old Town. As the grass-roots government office of the feudal bureaucracy system, the Yuci County Government is the epitome of ancient Chinese government culture. The overall layout, scale and structure of the county government embodies the characteristics of the local government offices in the Ming and Qing Dynasties "sitting north and facing south, left civil and right military, front court and rear sleep". In the county government office, there are not only the office area where the county magistrate sits to hear cases, but also the living area for the family members in the back hall, as well as the part where the temple is sacrificed. The main buildings in the county office are all built on the same central axis, which is also the main route for sightseeing. After entering the county government office, you can see the Yimen Gate (that is, the second gate) of the county government office. The horizontal plaque under the eaves of the Yimen Gate reads the four characters "Capital of the Jin Dynasty", which shows that Yuci used to be the capital of Shanxi Province. Walking forward through the stone archway with the words "Lian Shengwei", you will find the lobby where the plaque of "Mirror Hanging High" is hung. This is the place where the county magistrate tried the case. Now there is an antique performance of the county magistrate's ascension to the hall every day. , every morning and afternoon, the specific time can refer to the official website: http://www.yclc.com.cn/Main/Service.asp?ServiceID=7. On both sides of the courtyard in front of the lobby, there are six offices, which are the six offices under the prefectures and counties in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The six offices of the prefectures and counties correspond to the six central departments. When you come to the three halls (the "signature room" often mentioned in novels), you must not miss a couplet hanging in the hall, "The summer is hard to overcome, but the autumn is joyful, but it is back." The couplet was written by Emperor Kangxi when he inspected. It was personally inscribed to Zu Liangcai, the county magistrate at that time. There are also ancestral temples such as the Binghou Temple, Yashen Temple, and Prison Hall in the county government office. If you are interested, you can also visit the death row in the county government office to experience the dark living environment of the prisoners. In the county yamen, whether it is the lobby, temple or prison, the stone and brick carvings on various buildings are exquisitely carved and skillful with knives. The couplets and plaques that can be seen everywhere in the yamen tell the ideal way of being an official in ancient China. And official ethics, interested tourists can read carefully.
