There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Suzhou in history is not only a desirable land of wealth, but also a land of outstanding people and beautiful people. The same is true of Lili ancient town in Wujiang, Suzhou. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, there have been many talents in Lili, with the number one scholar 1, 26 scholars and 6 scholars1. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were Lao, Wei Xianhe and Wei Ruxian, the champion of special performances. In the Ming Dynasty, there was Shao Qingling's soul in Taichang Temple, which appeased An Nanguo by diplomacy, and there was a famous female painter Ru. In the Qing Dynasty, there were Zhou Yuanli, minister of the Ministry of Industry, Kuai and Sun, Zhejiang provincial judges who participated in the case of Yang Naiwu Pakchoi, and Zhang Yao, a patriotic general against Russia. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were eight rich households in Lili Town, including Zhou, Chen, Li, Kuai, Ru, Lu, Xu and Cai.

However, if we want to talk about the popularity of these celebrities in modern times, it is Liu Yazi. He is an out-and-out Japanese, originally named Wei Gao, and later renamed. He was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, a member of the League, and one of the founders of Nanshe. He was the secretary of Sun Yat-sen's interim president, and was a member of the Central People's Government and the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) after the founding of New China, enjoying a very high status in the cultural circles.

Liu Yazi's former residence is located on the main road of Lili ancient town, and there is a marble sign of "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit" in front of it. From the appearance, the building is not much different from other buildings facing the street, but it is not easy to trace its history.

According to the staff, Liu Yazi's former residence was actually not built by the Liu family, but a historical building built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was originally the private residence of Zhu Yuanzhang, governor of Zhili and minister of industry, and was completed before 1780. The house was named "Blessing Hall", with a depth of 92.9 meters and an area of 2,603 square meters. The existing three brick-carved gatehouses are tall, majestic and lifelike, and have extremely high artistic value.

Later, when the Zhou family declined, Liu Yazi's mother rented this deep house compound from the descendants of the Zhou family on 1899, and the family moved from their hometown, Hufenshengda Village. Liu Yazi was only 12 years old at that time. After that, he lived and fought here for most of the 29 years from 12 to 4 1 year.

On the cabinet behind the glass of the hall of Liu Yazi's former residence, there is a remnant plaque with the words "Futang" written on it. The staff introduced that it was made by Ji Huang, a college student in Qingganlong, and gave it to Zhou Yuanli, Minister of Industry. The plaque was originally a cypress, with a width of 2.7 meters and a height of 1.02 meters. Now the plaque hanging in the hall of blessing is copied according to the residual plaque displayed. It is said that Qianlong once gave Zhou Yuanli nine blessings, and Ji Huang, a university student, made a plaque with nine blessings, one of which was given to Zhou Yuanli, Minister of Industry, and Joo Won? returned home dressed in gold, and hung the plaque of the royal blessing in this hall, renamed the hall of blessings.
