有這樣壹座宅院，被譽為“民間瑰寶”“民間故宮”，有這樣壹座宅院，是山西民間的紫禁城。它就是王家大院，社會上流傳“王家歸來不看院”，而它為什麽會有如此多的美譽，今天請大家帶著這份驚奇與熱情踏進這古老的宅院，體會它當時的興盛。
王家大院位於山西省晉中市靈石縣靜升鎮靜升村，由歷史上四大家族之壹的太原王氏後裔修建，在清朝的順治、康熙、雍正、乾隆年間先後修建，歷時近200年。王氏家族的鼎盛伴隨著清朝的康乾盛世，他們遵崇“以商業興，以立學著，以官宦顯，”的治家格言，因此英才輩出。
這座位於敦厚宅東南角的高大門樓，俗稱“雞頭門”，有“雞鳴時節，合家歡樂”之意，門樓以琴棋書畫為主題，四個懸柱間雕有花瓶花草，吊住上雕有牡丹荷花，寓意富貴多子。
進入大門，映入大家眼簾的是壹塊石雕巨幅山水畫影壁，它采用了國畫手法構圖，平面陰線刻出，體現了主次、輕重、疏密的藝術效果。中國文化發展史上，國畫是從清朝末期才進入建築裝飾的，因此，這幅影壁是中國國畫進入建築裝飾的先河。
進入王家大院步步有吉祥，處處報平安。剛才我們進入的是大吉大利的雞頭門，現在請大家進入正廳。正廳後面的這壹條狀小院把前後院連在壹起，有過渡的作用。由此便進入後院也就是主人的生活區了。大家可以看到正窯5間為上房住長輩，下窯東西各三間住兒孫，主窯樓頂上為王家始祖王子喬的子喬閣。在封建社會制度下的這種格局，使得上下尊卑有序，內外男女有別。
