Former Residence of Qu Qiubai

　　The Qu Qiubai Memorial Hall was originally the ancestral shrine of the Qu family in the western part of the city. It was donated and built during the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty by Qu Gongfu, Qu Qiubai’s great-uncle, when he served as the governor of Hubei Province. Covering an area of 1,025 square meters, it consists of two large courtyards, eastern and western, each with four sections. Due to financial hardship, the Qu family lived in the eastern courtyard of the shrine from 1912 to 1916. On March 25, 1982, the Jiangsu Provincial People's Government designated the Former Residence of Qu Qiubai as a Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

　　Approved by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, it officially opened to the public on June 18, 1985, the 50th anniversary of Comrade Qu Qiubai’s martyrdom. The golden horizontal plaque under the memorial’s gate, inscribed with “Comrade Qu Qiubai Memorial Hall,” was written by [a notable figure—name preserved as is]. The main exhibition, “The Life and Deeds of Qu Qiubai Exhibition,” is located in the western courtyard, while the “Former Residence of Qu Qiubai Exhibition” is in the eastern courtyard. Special exhibitions such as the “Qu Qiubai Memorial Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition” are also featured. Since its establishment, the museum has published Jiangnan Yi Yan (A Swallow from the South) and Qu Qiubai Studies (a serial publication), and produced Qu Qiubai Research Information. It serves as an important base for commemorating, learning about, promoting, and studying Qu Qiubai.
