Zhu Zi Qing resident

rating: 3/5

As the alley was narrow and quite worn out, with moss growing on its brick walls and weathering conditions clearly showing on the walls, it gave us the feeling of walking along an old and historic street. The zhuqizing residence was located along the narrow alleys in Yangzhou. The alleys still had people residing in the houses along it.The zhuziqing residence was a small house along of the street, now with a brass plated sign board to clearly state the history if the zhuziqing residence. As we step past the doors, we were greeted by an enlarged version of a few excepts of the essays zhuziqing had once wrote. The house was a small one, which was surprising giving zhuziqing's family background about having many siblings and descendants. But as the front and the rooms of the house were given an olden look, there was also a small modern museum at the back of the house, displaying zhuziqing's works, his life and his family's history. I find the experience quite interesting and enriching as we were allowed to visit the house of a famous essayist and was able to learn more about him. The idea of having an olden place to look at first before visiting the small museum at the back of the house was appealing as it allowed us to have a taste of how the house had been in the past while later on looking at the more modern display of his essays in the museum.

a room in Zhu Zi Qing resident. The resident is rather small but it showcased alot of important information about Zhu Zi Qing and his love towards the country.
