Zhongxiao Tang, Cultural heritage site in Wuyi County, China.
Zhongxiao Tang stands as a well-preserved Ming Dynasty architectural complex featuring traditional three-courtyard layout with thirty-one rooms and classic upturned eaves design elements.
Built during the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, this ancient residence once served as the home of renowned military general Xu Pinghu and has been protected as a provincial cultural relic since 2005.
The name Zhongxiao Tang means "Hall of Loyalty and Filial Piety", pairing two Confucian virtues in one hall name. The building carries the name of Xu Pinghu, a Ming general, and its residence status is what the provincial protection of 2005 recognises. Visitors can read the name on the hall plaque at the entrance on Hushan Shangjie.
The house stands at 297 Hushan Shangjie, a street in Wuyi County's old town core, with the entrance on the north side since the complex faces north. It is a provincial cultural relic, so visitors should treat the 31 rooms and three courtyards as a protected interior and avoid touching carved beams and brick walls.
The residence faces north rather than south, an unusual orientation for a Ming hall in this region. It was listed as a Zhejiang provincial cultural relic in 2005, and its address is 297 Hushan Shangjie in Wuyi County.
