Former Residence of Wang Buwen

　　The former residence of Wang Buwen is situated in Tang’ao Group, Zifu Village, Wenquan Town, approximately 9 kilometers northwest of Yuexi County’s urban area. It is also the birthplace of Wang Buwen. The residence faces south and is surrounded by small hills, with evergreen pines and bamboos. The house features a brick-and-wood structure, consisting of two main sections connected by a cross courtyard. The building covers a construction area of 465 square meters and occupies a site of 5 mu. The front courtyard and wing rooms were where Wang Buwen studied in his youth, with the words “Book Garden” (书园) inscribed on the lintel by Wang Buwen himself. After joining the revolution, he often returned to his hometown to connect with like-minded individuals, spread Marxism-Leninism, and recruit party members. This wing room became the site of his revolutionary activities. In May 1998, the former residence was designated as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit.
