Yue Netao

Yue Netao is a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Jiangxi Province.

Yue Netao is an ancient residence located in Yuejia Village, Hongchuan, Ganzhou Town, Fengxin County. It was first built in the early years of the Jiaqing era by Yue Shiyao, the 51st-generation descendant of Yue Fei, in honor of Yue Fei.

Yue Netao covers an area of 7,000 square meters, with a crescent-shaped pond in front and two back gardens, making the entire residence resemble a "butterfly-shaped plot." Experts say that Yue Netao is a rare butterfly-shaped ancient house, which holds research and aesthetic value similar to the boat-shaped ancient houses previously discovered in the province. The residence includes 168 rooms of various sizes, 48 courtyards, and 358 pillars. It also boasts a rich collection of plaques, inscribed boards, couplets, and calligraphic works created by scholars and artists, such as “Scholar-Gentry Residence,” “Fragrance of Clear Virtue,” “Hanlin Academy,” “Four Generations of Scholars,” and “Renowned in the Arts.” Additionally, the site preserves wooden printing blocks made from pear wood for the Song Dynasty publication *Jintuo Compilation*, the Yue family genealogy, bamboo trunks with several hundred years of history, pillows, gong stands, drum stands, and inscribed plaques.
