Former Residence of Zhao Yongxian
Former Residence of Zhao Yongxian, Ming Dynasty historical residence in Changshu, China
The Former Residence of Zhao Yongxian features three central courtyards with traditional Chinese architectural elements, including the Gallery of Maiwang on its eastern side.
Built during the Ming Dynasty, this residence belonged to Zhao Yongxian, who achieved the prestigious jinshi degree in 1571 through the Imperial Examination system.
The Gallery of Maiwang functioned as one of the three most important libraries in the Jiangnan region during the Ming Dynasty period.
Located at 10 Nanzhao Lane in Gucheng District, the residence opens to visitors as an Art Gallery for Guqin, displaying traditional Chinese zither instruments.
The residence underwent complete restoration in 2004, with all inhabitants relocating to preserve this national cultural heritage site for future generations.
