Dongping Chen Clan's Second-Ranked Martial Scholar Residence

Dongping Chen Clan's Second-Ranked Martial Scholar Residence is a cultural relic protection unit of Zhejiang Province.

Dongping Chen Clan's Second-Ranked Martial Scholar Residence is located within the "Shangxinwu Daodi" area of Dongping Village, Hengdu Town. It earned the name "Yakui Daodi" (Second-Ranked Courtyard) because Chen Shidong ranked second in the martial arts examination during the 55th year of the Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty, with the "Yakui" plaque engraved on the gate of Shangxinwu Daodi. The residence is well-preserved and built along the natural terrain. The residential building at No. 160 Yifeng Road, Tingpang Town, was constructed in the seventh year of the Guangxu reign in the Qing Dynasty, featuring a brick-and-wood structure in a traditional courtyard style with two courtyards front and back, and exquisitely carved wooden components. The cliff carvings inside Xianyan Cave were created during the Ming and Qing dynasties, including stone reliefs such as the "Eight Immortals" and "Three Ages of Buddhas" left from the construction of the "Wenxin Guogong Dazhong Temple" in the 42nd year of the Jiajing reign in the Ming Dynasty.
