Visitors to Shaoxing for the first time can almost hear the word "Taimen". Some people find it very strange and can't help but ask what it means. In fact, in Shaoxing, all decent houses are called Taimen, and they often live in groups. Some of them are named after surnames, such as Shoujiataimen, Lijiataimen, Qinjiataimen and so on. Some are named after official positions, such as Zhuangyuan Taimen, Tanhua Taimen, Jieyuan Taimen, etc. According to the old Shaoxing custom, anyone who wins the exam can set up a flagpole. Therefore, there are many flagpole gates in Shaoxing. Some are also named after the number of the shop they have opened. For example, if they have opened a pawn shop, people call it Pangtaimen.
