The distinctive landscape of Zhujiayu Ancient Village in Zhangqiu District, Ji’nan, together with its long-established cultural traditions, has shaped a unique vernacular settlement character, within which traditional dwellings serve as a primary medium of regional culture. This study examines the residence of Zhu Fengyin, a jinshi degree holder, and adopts field investigation and measured drawing-based analysis. Discussion is organized around three dimensions: an overview of the dwelling, architectural form, and cultural expression. Particular attention is given to the multi-stage, multi-bay compound configuration developed in a mountainous setting, terrain-adaptive courtyard forms, and construction techniques. The analysis further interprets the concepts of ritual order and auspicious symbolism embedded in architectural decoration. By using this representative case, the study aims to deepen understanding of the architectural culture of gentry dwellings in the Ji’nan region and to provide an academic basis for the conservation and inheritance of traditional dwellings in the Ji’nan area.
