Five steps lead up to the raised floor. To the left is the kitchen. When excavated, it still contained models of a stir-frying pan, basin, and other cooking equipment. Opposite the kitchen is an observation tower. To the right of the residential quarters are the outhouse and pigsty.
Chickens roost on top of the outhouse, and pigs are fattened in the pigsty.
The storehouse stands opposite the outhouse and pigsty. This model of a courtyard house reflects the self-sufficient economy of the people as well as the architectural style of the houses at this time. This building presents a happy domestic scene. Though an emperor would never have crossed such a threshold, it is pleasant to see that the imperial subjects have such comfortable households. The buildings surround a central courtyard.
