There are several beams and columns in the hall, which are extremely strong. The pattern of the carved nan wood panels embedded in the beams is clearly visible, and a stout and tall ginkgo tree behind the house bears witness to the glory of the tuberose hall. Surrounded by the jade belt of Changguang Creek under xuelang mountain, the tree-lined poplar garden (now Yangshuyuan Village) was relocated from Xin'an to Changguangxi in 1372 AD by the 16th Emperor of the Ancient Wu Zhu Clan (1372-1390). His grandson, the Eighteenth Century, is a descendant of the Hundred Descendants, who lives here.

The Poplar Garden is adjacent to the Xiangmen, and the reading family stretches. According to historical records, in the 540 years from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, a total of one jinshi was produced, eight people were raised, and the other talents reached eighty-five. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was burned by the soldiers, there were still "thirteen half halls" and "eighteen books (boxes) rooms" in the Qing Dynasty. The Tuberose Hall is one of the best-preserved halls.

According to the "Genealogy of the Zhu Clan", the ancient mansion of the Tuberose Hall was built by Zhu Yongyong, the 25th Emperor of the Zhu Clan, with the vowel of the character, Yi Ku Sheng (Xiu Cai) (1649-1709), Ping Su Ji Shan Ji De, the township school was widely popular, and the Tao Li Man Yuan was quite influential. In order to repay Zhu Yongyong's kindness, some students cut down half of the trees in their mountain yard and gave them to Zhu Yongyong, hoping to build a building in Yangshu Garden where the clan could read. With the help of the students, Zhu Yongyong poured all his family property into the construction of a group of houses in the forty-first year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1702), which became a special place for students to read and write, and the literati and scholars sang and danced.

National Cultural Protection Volunteer Relay Appeal for the Rescue of Tuberose Hall
-【Latest Developments】-
Wuxi responded to the damage to the Qing Dynasty building "Tuberose Hall":
The scope of protection will be defined Determine the mode of protection
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. In response to social concerns, Binhu District of Wuxi City told the People's Network on the 12th that the local government will define the scope of protection of the historic building as soon as possible and determine the protection method.

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.
