Fuguitang sits facing south, with its back to the half-moon Aoyu Mountain, surrounded by Fuguitang from the southeast and west. From a distance, Fu Hou seems to be sitting in an armchair of Tang. The surrounding natural environment is beautiful, with dense trees in the back hill and towering old trees. In front of the door is a relatively open flat land with an eastward river. This flat land is surrounded by mountains and peaks.

The house sits west facing east, with a vast field in front and a trickle around it; Backed by a half-moon hill, bamboo and wood are planted inside, and the seasons are evergreen. A tall wall surrounds the pedestrian passage between east and west. Into the East Room and Westinghouse, it is a half-moon terrace paved with granite, with Daqing Dragon and Phoenix Flag, Xiang Jun Shuai Flag, 10,000-person umbrella and so on. Outside Taiping, there is a half-moon lotus pond, and the lotus flowers set each other off in summer, just like Pan Palace. The main entrance is in the middle of Taiping, and there are four gold-lettered plaques on the door of Ceng Jize's book Yi Hou Yong Di, so the locals call it "Hou Fu" or "Prime Minister Fu".

On the main hall door, Zeng Guofan inscribed "Fu Hou Tang" in gold on a red background. Before and after the purlin, it is the main body of Fuguitang. The front hall is called "Eight Classrooms", and there are three gold plaques written by Zeng Guofan in black. Under his forehead is the family motto of Ceng Jize's Eight Classrooms written by his father in official script: "Reading ancient books is based on exegesis, writing poems is based on tone, caring for relatives is based on winning hearts, keeping in good health is based on less anger, standing up and not lying, and staying at home is based on arrogance and rashness. Behind the central hall is a shrine, on which there is a plaque inscribed "Great-grandfather kissed the God for the first time". Hanging above is the black and gold horizontal plaque of the "big column" given to Zeng Guofan by the imperial book in the ninth year of Tongzhi (AD 1870). On the walls on both sides, there are also plaques with the words "Fu" and "Shou". On the wall of the shrine is a white and blue horizontal plaque of "Su Yong Heming" written by him in the second year of Tongzhi.

The back hall is headed by two sides, and Mrs. Zeng Guofan lives in Ouyang; On the other side is the house of his eldest son Ceng Jize and his wife. The left door of the front building is the south hall, and there are four first rooms on both sides, which are the living room of Zeng Guofan's second son, Zeng Ji Hong; On the right is the North Hall, where Zeng's eldest son and wife live.
