Former Residence of Tang Yifen

　　The former residence of Tang Yifen is located at No. 97 Heping South Road. Tang Yifen (1778–1853), courtesy name Ruoyi, also known as Yusheng, was a famous calligrapher and painter of the Qing Dynasty. The residence was originally the Tang family’s old home. The rear part of the house once had a Plum Blossom Courtyard, where Tang’s mother taught her son. At the age of 13, Tang Yifen studied prosody here under the instruction of his mother, Lady Yang. In the 19th year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1839), Tang Yifen petitioned to have the site converted into the Loyal and Filial Shrine, dedicated to his grandfather Da Kui and father Xun Ye, who died heroically in Fengshan, Taiwan. Currently, three rooms of the two-courtyard house remain, built in the traditional masonry-timber structure with flush gables. The entrance gate features a brick-carved archway, and the rear hall, named "Keduotang" (Hall of Mutual Reflection), still displays a plaque inscribed with the same name, traditionally believed to be written by Shi Kefa. Inside the residence are two stone steles engraved with the “Record of the Loyal and Filial Shrine,” composed by Tang Yifen himself. In December 1987, it was designated as a municipal-level cultural relics protection unit.
