"I didn't expect that there are so many cultural exhibits from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in an exhibition hall in a village. After the opening of the museum, I will often bring my children here to get to know the old objects of that era." Ms. Zhao Hongying told reporters, "I feel that the cultural atmosphere in Lvguantun Village is very strong."
Lvguantun Village is located at the southernmost end of Chenguantun Town, Jinghai District, Tianjin, covering an area of about 4 square kilometers and a population of more than 1,800.
On the east bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it has a long history and a prosperous culture.
In a small farmyard in Lvguantun Village, the farmhouse is no more than 100 square meters, but it condenses eight life scenes such as the marriage room, the main room, the kitchen, the study, the upper room, the tea house, the tofu workshop, and the stables of the farming households in the late Qing Dynasty. From the farming and reading life of Luguantun people in the past dynasties, this is the "Gongdu Home" of the Folk Customs Exhibition Hall in the late Qing Dynasty.

For Lv Guantun, the source of rural culture lies in the inheritance of farming and reading, that is, "going to the fields to work in the fields when farming is busy, reading and studying when farming is slack, farming for a living, and learning for development".
