     建于清嘉庆年间,俗称“九十九间半”,是中国最大的私人民宅。甘熙(1798-1853)是晚清文化界人士,精通地理风水之术,周游各地收集古籍,并编撰过很多南京地方志。曾经为道光皇帝考察过陵墓,也编写《后湖水利考》来阻止以玄武湖通江来防止南京城水患1。甘熙父亲甘福开始设计建造此宅地,而甘熙只参与过宅邸的续建和扩建。中了进士之后甘熙在(北)京当官,知道建造规模的禁忌1,所以留下半间没有建,以四面都是窗户的楼阁替代。整个甘氏家族在文化界从古至今都很有声望,留下不仅仅是甘熙故居这样规模巨大十分考究的江南民宅,更藏书楼内数万计走南闯北收集来的古籍。此外,甘家对于道教音乐、京剧昆剧的研究和发扬做出了不朽的贡献。

2 这个禁忌来自于一种说法:“天帝房子一万间,皇宫只能建九千九百九十九间半,王公勋爵可建九百九十九间半,而民居最多只能九十九间半”。  关于这个禁忌的说发有很多种,但是多少和迷信和文化信仰有联系。一是说“九”这个数字很吉祥,二是说朱棣建北京故宫的时候,天帝托梦说”我有一万间房子,人间怎么能和天宫相比“,于是对于建满一万间有所忌惮,命工匠减了半间。由于中国统治阶级自古以来以地位论地产的逻辑,往后顺到民居,也就是九十九间半了。

Gan Xi is an artist ,geologist, collector, and writer.He was born out of a famous family whose dedications in literature, Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, and Daoism music were influential in the era. This mansion is interesting in the way it was designed: 99 rooms and a half, the biggest private property in China. 

There are so many explanation on the choice of the amount of room, most of which are related with superstition, the pressure from the MING emperor (Zhu Di who was then building the Forbidden City in Beijing) . The half of the room was replaced by a space with all windows. 

​Today, Gan Xi's Mansion is open to the public for a visit, not only for the architectural design, but also for the Folk Culture Museum.
