Zhan Tianyou's former residence is an ordinary residential style in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. In addition, Zhan Tianyou was born in an ordinary family, so the restoration also emphasized the simplicity and quietness of ordinary families in Xiguan. Interestingly, the furnishings of the former residence are arranged with reference to an old glass negative sealed in the former residence for more than a century. There are old furniture such as the Eight Immortals Terrace, several stools and couches, and the hall and bedroom are separated by screens. In addition, there is a pair of couplets hanging on one wall, which reads, "The company of elegant immortals is rare." This is what an old friend of Zhan Tianyou told him, and it is also a portrayal of Zhan Tianyou's life.
