The interior of the manor is divided into hall, living room, reception room, accounting room, hiring institute, Rent-collecting institute, granary, secret treasury, water prison and Buddhist hall, platform, Xiaoyao Palace, garden, orchard and so on.

 

The whole manor is a combination of Chinese and Western architecture. It not only has the legacy of Chinese feudal mansions, but also embodies the closed social characteristics of feudal society, reflects the hierarchical relationship between feudal order and superiority, and absorbs the characteristics of Western castles and churches. These characteristics are particularly prominent in the new mansion buildings.

 

The main style of manor architecture reflects the traditional Chinese aesthetic orientation, and in detail it incorporates the aesthetic characteristics of the West. It is not only a typical form and style of modern Sichuan landlord manor architecture, but also a group formed by absorbing western architectural civilization and combining with traditional Chinese architectural culture.
