The network rumor that the Qing Dynasty building "Tuberose Hall" in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, is facing demolition and relocation has attracted attention a few days ago.

Pictures of the scene in previous media reports showed that the "Tuberose Hall" house was old and the walls were damaged, and its wooden beams and tiles could be seen scattered. Local lovers of ancient architecture believe that buildings such as the "Tuberose Hall" built in the early Qing Dynasty are relatively rare and should be protected. According to public information, the "Tuberose Hall" was built in the forty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1702), with a history of more than 300 years, and the existing main building is the "Tuberose Hall" hall part (restored in 1870).

People's Daily learned from Binhu District that in the previous expropriation process of the block where the "Tuberose Hall" is located, the relevant competent departments of Binhu District and Wuxi City have planned to expropriate it first through on-site investigation and research, "In the next step, we will organize professionals to define the scope of protection of the historic building on the basis of full demonstration and determine the protection method."

It is understood that in recent years, the local government is promoting urban renewal plans in an orderly manner. Binhu District said that in view of the old buildings excavated in the implementation process, considering the limited conditions of the residents themselves, the main reason is to collect the main body of the transformation first, and then the cultural security department organizes experts to demonstrate and identify, and implement the protection and utilization plan in a planned manner.
