刘氏兄弟故居, Historical residence in Jiangyin, China.
The Liu Brothers Former Residence is a traditional Chinese mansion built around multiple courtyards that form a complete family compound. The structure displays characteristic architectural features including carved wooden elements, covered walkways, and rooms arranged around the open central spaces.
The house at 49 Xiheng Street was the childhood home of three brothers: Liu Bannong, the linguist and poet; Liu Tianhua, the erhu player and composer; and Liu Beimao, a musician. It now serves as a memorial museum to them. In 2002 it was listed as a Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Relic Protection Unit.
The house is also the Liu Brothers Memorial Hall, and its six exhibition rooms mix the brothers' biographies with domestic spaces: Liu Bannong's and Liu Tianhua's bedrooms are shown as rooms, while the kitchen forms the fifth room. The sixth room covers Liu Beimao's achievements and tributes to the three brothers from people in various places.
The residence faces east at 49 Xiheng Street, next to the Jiangyin Confucian Temple, with two successive rows of ten rooms around three courtyards. The six exhibition rooms follow one another in sequence, from Liu Bannong's room to the kitchen and the Liu Beimao display, so a visitor passes through the whole compound in order.
The six exhibition rooms are not all display halls: the third room is Liu Bannong's bedroom, the fourth is Liu Tianhua's bedroom, and the fifth is the kitchen. The sixth room covers Liu Beimao's achievements and commemorations of the three brothers by people from various places.
