Zhao Mengfu Art Museum
  The Zhao Mengfu Art Museum is a regional traditional culture museum that integrates exhibitions of the life and calligraphy and painting works of the great Yuan Dynasty artist Zhao Mengfu.

  It is situated within the China Huzhou Brush Museum on Lianhua Zhuang Road in Huzhou and was completed and opened to the public in September 2001. The building features a hip-and-gable roof with upturned eaves, and its pavilions, corridors, towers, and courtyards are all built in traditional Chinese architectural style.

  The main sections include: the Zhao Mengfu Memorial Hall, which replicates the interior of Songxue Studio and introduces his life and artistic career; and the Zhao Mengfu Ceremony Hall, which houses 37 treasured calligraphy and painting masterpieces by Zhao Mengfu and other artists throughout history, as well as 38 stone inscriptions of their calligraphy. Among them, Zhao Mengfu’s hand-carved stone inscriptions such as "Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute," "Autumn Colors on the Qiao and Hua Mountains," and "Riding a Horse" along with Wang Xizhi’s "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion," Yan Zhenqing’s "Eulogy to Nephew Ji-ming," Su Shi’s "Poem on Cold Food Festival in Huangzhou," and Huang Gongwang’s "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" are all timeless cultural treasures of humanity.

  Zhao Mengfu, also known by his courtesy name Ziang and art name Songxue Daoren, was a native of Huzhou. He is recognized as one of the world's cultural celebrities. On Mercury, one of the nine planets in the solar system, there is a crater located between 235 and 225 degrees longitude with a diameter of 120 kilometers, named the Zhao Mengfu Crater.
