San Shen Memorial Hall

　　Introduction       The San Shen Memorial Hall is located near the ancient city wall to the west of Xinjie Street in Hanyin County, Ankang. It was established to commemorate the three brothers — Shen Yinmo, Shen Shiyuan, and Shen Jian Shi — who were cultural giants of New China, pioneers of the New Culture Movement, renowned professors at Peking University, and masters of Chinese literature. The three esteemed siblings spent their formative years in Hanyin. Their former residence has been restored and now displays exhibits on the “Three Shens’” lives, achievements, and works for future generations to admire and remember. The hall also houses inscriptions and mementos from other masters, such as Qi Gong and Zhao Puchu.

　　    In the late 19th century, in an erudite family in the ancient city of Hanyin, the three brothers Shen Shiyuan, Shen Yinmo, and Shen Jian Shi were born. From a young age, the “Three Shens” set lofty aspirations, traveled and studied both in China and abroad, and mastered knowledge spanning ancient and modern times. They were pioneers of China’s May Fourth New Culture Movement and internationally renowned scholars of Chinese studies and culture. “A small county producing great talent, with three outstanding figures from one family” — such a phenomenon is truly rare in the history of Chinese culture.    Transportation       Buses to Hanyin County depart frequently from Ankang Bus Station, roughly every 20 minutes. After arriving in Hanyin County, you can walk to the memorial hall.
