Former Residence Of Huang Xing
History
The traditional folk house style residence was built by Huang Xing's ancestors during the 1st Year of Tongzhi Period of the Tongzhi Emperor (1862) in the Qing dynasty (1644–1911).
On October 25, 1874, Huang Xing was born in here.
In 1903, in order to raise money for the revolution, Huang Xing sold the house and his paddy field.
After the establishment of the Communist State, the local government seized the residence and distributed it among seven peasants.
In 1980, the Huang Xing Former Residence Memorial (黄兴故居纪念馆) was founded in here.
In 1981, the local government relocated the peasants and rebuilt the residence. At the same year, it was designated as provincial level key cultural heritage.
In 1984, the Exhibition Hall of Huang Xing's Life (黄兴生平事迹陈列馆) was added.
In 1988, it was listed as a "Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level" by the State Council of China.
