Lu Xun Memorial Hall

Diagonally across from Sanwei Bookstore is the Shaoxing Lu Xun Memorial Hall. The exterior of the memorial hall features a Shaoxing Taimen architectural style, with the main entrance featuring a traditional Shaoxing bamboo Taimen. Inside, sculptures and stainless steel walls enhance the memorial's cultural connotations and artistic appeal through modern display techniques. The interweaving of architecture and water features, with the interior and exterior spaces flowing seamlessly into one another, creates a vibrant and modern exhibition hall embodying Shaoxing's unique character. The seven large characters "Shaoxing Lu Xun Memorial Hall" emblazoned on the front wall of the exhibition hall were inscribed by Guo Moruo.

Walking down the street, we arrived at the Lu Xun Memorial Hall. A bronze statue of Lu Xun stands at the entrance, and two lines of golden characters on the screen wall read: "With a cold brow, I face the criticism of thousands, and with my head bowed, I am willing to serve as an ox for children." This perfectly captures Lu Xun's life. The memorial hall tells the story of Lu Xun's family background and his subsequent abandonment of medicine for literature, using his pen as a weapon. It is filled with precious images, historical materials, and real objects.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall in Shaoxing is located to the east of Lu Xun's hometown, between Lu Xun's ancestral home and Zhoujia Xintaimen.



The memorial hall has a long history. The old hall was built in 1953 and was later demolished to restore the traditional style of Lu Xun's hometown. The current one is the new hall.



After entering, there is a courtyard and a staircase leading to the exhibition hall. In the hall is a bronze statue of Lu Xun and the words "I face the criticism of thousands of people with a cold brow, and I bow my head and am willing to be a cow for children."



The exhibition hall introduces Mr. Lu Xun's life in detail, including his thoughts, works, deeds, etc. His autobiography is printed on one wall, and there are also many comments and praises of him by great people.



If you have time, you should really take the time to visit it.



Free admission.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall in Shaoxing is a three-dimensional map of Lu Xun's literature. Crossing the stone wall engraved with "Backbone of the Nation", the bluestone road leads you into the folds of time and space of Zhoujiataimen.

In a late Qing Dynasty courtyard with gray tiles and white walls, Xun Ge'er's red-painted brush rests on a window-side table, as if the owner has just left to feed the goldfish in the backyard. Polygonum multiflorum vines still cling to the base of the mud walls of Baicao Garden, and the light and shadow cast by the honey locust tree overlap with the text of "Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk." Thirty-seven bronze reliefs in the exhibition hall transform "The Scream" and "Wandering" into tangible textures. Trace revisions on a yellowed manuscript hold the secrets of "The True Story of Ah Q." A rubbing of the Chinese character "早" (early morning) rests quietly beside his dissection notes from his time studying in Japan.

The Japanese cherry blossoms in the backyard were donated by Mr. Fujino's descendants. In front of the sika deer painting at the original site of Sanwei Bookstore, you can smell the scent of ink from the Guangxu period floating between the wooden lattices.

Lu Xun's mother, Lu Rui, smoked a hookah, and the sweater worn by Hai Ying in the display case still retains the warmth of his father's body. Most touchingly, the memorial deliberately left two "blanks"—a glass case with no exhibits labeled with the damaged butterfly kite from "The Kite" and a wall with no text projected with lines from "Wild Grass," allowing each visitor to fill these blanks with their own memories.

2023.7.18 The two of them lined up to visit. There were many tourists and the experience was average. It should be visited in the off-season so that you can slowly feel Lu Xun's spirit and culture.

Visit the Lu Xun Memorial Hall and carefully savor every detail of Mr. Lu Xun's life. The exhibitions here are incredibly detailed, so you won't regret reading them. Here are a few photos of the most memorable exhibits. A key reason for Mr. Lu Xun's greatness lies in his profound understanding of human nature. As I grow older, I deeply understand the feelings Mr. Lu Xun felt when he saw Runtu. When I go home for the Lunar New Year and see my childhood playmates, I can relate. We were emotionally close, yet unable to express ourselves, as if separated by an invisible barrier.

The Shaoxing Lu Xun Memorial Hall is located to the east of Lu Xun's former residence, across the river from the Sanwei Book House in Shoujiataimen. The inscription was written by Guo Moruo.

Completed in 2004, this modern exhibition hall, imbued with Shaoxing characteristics and contemporary spirit, boasts a simple and understated design. The Lu Xun Life and Deeds Exhibition Hall comprises a prologue hall, north and south main exhibition halls, auxiliary exhibition halls, a celebrity collection, and a leisure area. Through a wealth of exhibits, including physical objects, manuscripts, photographs, letters, charts, and models, and utilizing modern display methods such as multimedia touch screens, 3D imaging, and lifelike wax figures of characters like Lu Xun and Runtu, and Lu Xun and Fujino, the exhibition vividly recreates Lu Xun's glorious life and achievements.

Lu Xun Memorial Hall in Shaoxing. I just visited the Lu Xun Museum in Beijing last month, where I once again relived the legendary and extraordinary life of Mr. Lu Xun.

Mr. Lu Xun first received his education at the Sanwei Book House private school, then went to the Naval School to study mining, and later traveled across the ocean to Japan to study medicine. He found that studying medicine could only cure diseases but not govern the country, so he returned to China, gave up medicine and turned to literature.

Throughout his life, Mr. Lu Xun made significant contributions in many fields including literary creation, literary criticism, ideological research, literary history research, translation, introduction of art theory, introduction of basic science, and collation and research of ancient books.

As a national base for patriotic education, it is completely free and open to the public. Visitors can enter with their ID card. They can first visit the Lu Xun Memorial Hall and gain some necessary understanding of Mr. Lu Xun's life through the visit!

Construction of the Shaoxing Luxun Memorial Hall began in 1973. In early 2003, to restore the traditional character of Luxun's hometown, the exhibition hall, which was out of scale with the surroundings, was demolished and restored to its former home, the Zhoujiaxintaimen. The newly constructed memorial hall is located east of Luxun's hometown, bordering Luxun's ancestral home to the east, the Zhoujiaxintaimen to the west, the Zhujiataimen to the north, and the Dongchangfangkou to the south, facing the Shoujiataimen across the river.

One of the attractions in Lu Xun's hometown, it introduces Lu Xun's life. The exhibition hall is very large and it is the only place where you don't need to queue up. It is free.

Compared to the surrounding former residences, the Lu Xun Memorial Hall boasts a more modern design. Spread across two floors, the museum documents Lu Xun's life and deeds in graphic form. I quickly took a look around, but it was a nice place to rest after a long stroll. There's an Ah Q statue at the first-floor stairwell, though a few stools are missing. The exits are all filled with souvenirs.

The collection is very rich, including furniture and clothes used by the gentleman, childhood toys, etc. The memorial hall alone is enough to keep you entertained for a long time.

I have been to the memorial hall many times, from the old to the new. History is changing, but Lu Xun’s spirit has not changed!

The "Lu Xun Life and Deeds Exhibition Hall" at the Shaoxing Lu Xun Memorial Hall is a modern exhibition hall imbued with Shaoxing characteristics and contemporary spirit. Its simple, peaceful design and unpretentious aesthetic fully embody the humanistic essence of Lu Xun's spirit. Interior sculptures and stainless steel wall cladding enhance the memorial's cultural connotations and artistic appeal through modern display techniques. The interweaving of architecture and water features, with the interplay of indoor and outdoor spaces, creates a vibrant and modern exhibition hall embodying Shaoxing's unique character. The seven large characters "Shaoxing Lu Xun Memorial Hall" emblazoned on the front wall were inscribed by Guo Moruo.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is quite large and it takes several hours to see it.

They are all about his life and his works.

Located within the Lu Xun Hometown Scenic Area, nestled between Lu Xun's former residence and his ancestral home, this museum offers an excellent opportunity to learn about Lu Xun's life and works. A thorough visit is essential to truly appreciate Mr. Lu Xun's extraordinary life and his remarkable literary achievements. Admission is free with valid ID! It's definitely worth a visit!

The two-story memorial hall built in Lu Xun's hometown has a landmark Lu Xun sculpture at the entrance, introducing his life and the deeds of his contemporaries.

Construction of the Luxun Memorial Hall in Shaoxing began in 1973. In early 2003, to restore the traditional character of Luxun's hometown, the exhibition hall, which was out of scale with the surroundings, was demolished and restored as the Zhoujiaxintaimen. The newly constructed memorial hall is located on the east side of Luxun's hometown, adjacent to Luxun's ancestral home to the east, Zhoujiaxintaimen to the west, Zhujiataimen to the north, Dongchangfangkou to the south, and across the river from Shoujiataimen. The Luxun Memorial Hall covers a total area of 6,000 square meters, with a total construction area of approximately 5,000 square meters. Adhering to the design concept of "old house, new space," the hall blends seamlessly into the traditional streetscape of the area. The exterior of the memorial hall follows the Shaoxing Taimen architectural style, with the main entrance featuring a traditional Shaoxing bamboo Taimen. The memorial hall offers an elegant environment, with the plaza and various entrances and exits paved with traditional Shaoxing bluestone slabs. The green alley connecting the exhibition hall and Lu Xun's ancestral home, planted with bamboo and stacked stones, and lush flowers and trees, is a typical example of a traditional courtyard garden in Shaoxing. It is also equipped with unique Shaoxing architectural elements such as covered bridges and black-sailed boats, creating a Jiangnan water village atmosphere. The exhibition hall garden features culturally significant camphor, pine, orchid, and plum trees. Furthermore, jujube, honey locust, mulberry, magnolia vine, and raspberry trees, inspired by Lu Xun's poem "Dawn Blossoms Plucked at Dusk," are also planted to recreate the ambiance of Lu Xun's time.

This is more interesting, as it records the major events in Lu Xun's life.

Lu Xun used many pen names throughout his life, but why is "Lu Xun" the most famous? Was it his favorite pen name? "Lu" seems to come from his mother's surname, Lu Rui, and Lu Xun looks like her. Also, Lu Xun's handwriting is beautiful, both in Chinese and English!

If you want to learn more about the life and deeds of Mr. Lu Xun, then this is the right place to come. The museum adopts a chronological format to show the social environment of Shaoxing when Lu Xun was born. It highlights why Lu Xun, who was also a young and frivolous child, was so outstanding. It uses various real stories to tell you why Lu Xun made you recite the entire text.

There is a half-length bronze statue in the front yard of the memorial hall. At first glance, it looks a bit like a Mr. Betty wearing glasses. He is the protagonist of another famous text by Lu Xun, "Mr. Fujino" - Fujino Yanjiurong.

Walking into the lobby of the memorial hall, there stands a seated statue of Lu Xun. On the wall behind him is written his well-known motto: "I face the criticism of thousands of people with a cold brow and I am willing to be a cow for the children."

As you tour the hall from the prologue to the back, with time and place as clues, Mr. Lu Xun's academic life unfolds before your eyes.

After viewing all the exhibitions, a more multifaceted and vivid image of Lu Xun will emerge. You will feel that Lu Xun is not just the "military culprit" who kidnapped our youth in textbooks, but also a remarkable man who shuttled through the light and shadow of the Republic of China like the wind.

His classic lines, such as "There are no roads in the world," "A true warrior," and "One is a jujube tree, the other is also a jujube tree," are still popular online. Regardless, I'm definitely memorizing Mr. Lu Xun's texts.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is located in Lu Xun's hometown. You can enter directly by swiping your ID card. This memorial hall really needs to be savored. Not only will you understand Lu Xun as a person, but your own values will also change. You will also find yourself wanting to delve deeper into Lu Xun's essays. This memorial hall provides an excellent description of Lu Xun's life and is a place worth recommending.

When I was studying Chinese in junior high school, I was captivated by the story of Lu Xun and Sanwei Bookstore. I came to read it in person to feel the atmosphere of the time and experience Lu Xun's life.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is right next to Lu Xun's former residence. It is free to visit and provides a detailed introduction to Lu Xun's life and his literary works.

These attractions are free, but there are many people, so you have to queue up at the door and enter with your ID card!

The interior of the building has been professionally renovated to suit its museum-style public service functions!

The interior uses a large area of glass windows and water town style black, white and gray decorations, which has a bit of the flavor of Suzhou Museum!

The main display is the famous quotes from Lu Xun's works. After working, I feel a lot more emotional.

Lu Xun's former residence covers a large area and is where the writer studied as a child. The only regret is that we were unable to find the word "early" carved by Lu Xun on the table.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall houses many of Lu Xun's manuscripts and related video materials.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is incredibly rich (not including the underground, wholesale-market-like souvenir area). The saying "a man of learning brings out his elegance" is truly true. Looking through photos of Lu Xun from his youth, it's clear he only began to develop a handsome demeanor around 1925, a handsomeness imbued with a profound aura. The two photos from 1936 that left the deepest impression on me are the ones he took: one showing him recovering from a serious illness, the other after his death. His cheeks are deeply sunken, a stark contrast to the Lu Xun we know. Everyone knows he was in poor health, yet despite his immense literary fame, how many people could truly understand him?

It is a free attraction. It is of great significance to see the place where Mr. Lu Xun used to be. I think it is very valuable. You must have a certain mentality when you come here.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is really good, free, and is inside the former residence scenic area.

It gives a detailed introduction to Mr. Lu Xun, his family history, and the life of his brothers. It is worth a careful visit.

It's quite impressive, really. It records Mr. Lu Xun's life and deeds in great detail, very organized and thoughtful. It's like visiting a museum.

I am a registered resident of Shangyu District, Shaoxing, so I don’t need to pay for tickets to visit these scenic spots, but the memorial hall has no special features.

It is a relatively good museum. There are many excerpts of Lu Xun's life and words. I took my primary school students there. I hope that when they meet Master Lu in the text, they will think: "Ah~ I know this, I have seen it." This will make them more interested in learning, and it will be worth my hard work to bring other people's children here.

The great backbone of the nation! In fact, we should stay here more often and recall the many texts we have learned. After entering society, we have learned many things that are not in the textbooks. Life always requires struggle, just like Mr. Lu Xun who wrote tirelessly and is still a warning to the world.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is also free to enter with your ID card. I saw a statue of Lu Xun in the lobby. On the wall of the statue was a phrase: "I face the criticism of thousands with a cold brow, yet I am willing to serve as a child's ox." This phrase touched me deeply.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is located in the Lu Xun Cultural Square. The entire visiting area is free of charge and you can enter by swiping your ID card. It is very suitable for primary school students to visit and study.

It is basically an introduction to Lu Xun's life. What impressed me most was the jujube tree in it.

Next to Lu Xun's former residence is the Lu Xun Memorial Hall. The seven large characters "Shaoxing Lu Xun Memorial Hall" adorning the front wall of the exhibition hall were inscribed by Guo Moruo. The hall offers a detailed account of Lu Xun's life and the development of his thought. I deeply admire Lu Xun. He was a truly proud intellectual and a fighter, unafraid of power, daring to expose the dark side of society and speaking out to awaken the apathetic souls of the people. This is precisely why Lu Xun abandoned medicine to pursue literature. I suddenly remembered the time after the Wenchuan earthquake, when a poet from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles expressed gratitude to the government on behalf of the victims, writing the timeless and infamous poem, "Even as a ghost, I would be happy." He was like a broken-backed dog, one that even a mangy dog would be ashamed to associate with.

Look at the backbone of our nation - Lu Xun said in "Random Thoughts from the Qiejieting: Have the Chinese Lost Their Self-Confidence": Since ancient times, we have had people who work hard, people who work hard, people who plead for the people, people who sacrifice their lives for the law... Although the so-called "official history" is equivalent to writing a genealogy for emperors and generals, it often cannot cover up their glory. This is the backbone of China.

Located in the Lu Xun's hometown scenic area, this modern memorial hall displays Lu Xun's life from childhood to fame, including various documents and personal belongings.

Learn about Mr. Lu Xun’s life and history...

It contains an introduction to Lu Xun's life, letters, writings, statues, etc. Many excerpts from articles learned in previous textbooks can be seen here. It is also a part of Lu Xun's hometown, and you can enter for free with your ID card.

I couldn't help crying even for one of the greatest writers.

Lu Xun's hometown, you can take a look and feel the Lu Xun in the textbook here

There are many calligraphers writing inscriptions on site in the scenic area. Just tell your name and the old gentleman will compose a poem for you and write it on the fan. The price is not expensive, about 10 yuan a fan!

It's free, so I definitely have to go for a walk. If I really have to give it a good explanation, it's just that.

Lu Xun wrote a poem called "Self-Mockery", two lines of which are "I face the criticism of thousands of people with a cold brow, and I am willing to be a cow for children with my head down", which is a true portrayal of his life.

In the Lu Xun Memorial Hall, you can feel many of the texts you learned when you were a child. I like it very much.

Upon entering the lobby, a large bronze statue of Lu Xun, seated amidst flowers, catches the eye. His expression is natural, affable, and composed, capturing his true character in daily life. Large reliefs depicting "Water Town Shaoxing" and "Famous Men of Yue" flank the lobby, reflecting Shaoxing's long history and splendid culture. Touchscreen guides are located nearby. The lobby is spacious and bright, with potted trees and a solemn and simple atmosphere, reflecting Lu Xun's greatness and peace.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is definitely worth a visit. I've read so many of his articles since childhood and university, and here I can gain a deeper understanding through the precious literature, history, and cultural relics.

Lu Xun Memorial Hall is a very good theme memorial hall. It gives a very detailed summary of Mr. Lu Xun's life and achievements. The exhibits are very complete.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall is free and there are many camellias inside.

There is no entrance fee to the Lu Xun Memorial Hall, which is right next to Lu Xun's hometown and opens at around 8:00 in the morning. "With a cold brow, he faced the criticism of thousands of people, and he was willing to be a cow for children" has always been the best portrayal of Mr. Lu Xun's life. He used his pen as a weapon, wrote furiously, and fought all his life. He was hailed as the "soul of the nation." The national heroes of that era were always linked to politics, because politics needed to be constantly exaggerated and beautified. As Zhou Haiying commented: Perhaps due to political needs, for a long time, Lu Xun's image was portrayed as "cold-browed", as if he was not the real Lu Xun or the Lu Xun needed by society if he was not cold-browed. Indeed, Lu Xun had a clear distinction between love and hate, but that does not mean that Lu Xun had no emotions, and did not have his gentle and loving side.

Construction of the Shaoxing Luxun Memorial Hall began in 1973. In early 2003, to restore the traditional character of Luxun's hometown, the exhibition hall, which was out of scale with the surroundings, was demolished and restored to its former home, the Zhoujiaxintaimen. The newly constructed memorial hall is located east of Luxun's hometown, bordering Luxun's ancestral home to the east, the Zhoujiaxintaimen to the west, the Zhujiataimen to the north, and the Dongchangfangkou to the south, facing the Shoujiataimen across the river.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall has two floors. After walking around it completely, looking at the exhibits and photos, combined with Mr. Lu Xun's works, I really felt the greatness and peace of Mr. Lu Xun.

Lu Xun's former residence is located directly opposite the Zhou family's Xintaimen in Duchangfangkou. Xintaimen was the Zhou family's home for many years. The entire residence, a sprawling compound typical of Jiangnan, was built during the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty (1796-1820). The Zhou family declined in the late Qing Dynasty, and the entire residence changed hands in 1918. While much of the original house was demolished and rebuilt, the main portion of Lu Xun's residence was fortunately preserved. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was renovated several times to its original state, and much of the original furniture was recovered and is now displayed in its original state. Entering the Shikumen-style house, along the long corridor bordering the well, you'll find the former residence of Lu Xun's family. Lu Xun was born downstairs in the west side room of this entrance.

The Lu Xun Museum is a good place to visit for his life story. It's quite modern. But there's no air conditioning.

There are also special performances in the Lu Xun Memorial Hall, where you can listen to Huizhou Huangmei Opera up close for the first time.

, which contains photos and introductions of Lu Xun from different periods. However, what impressed me the most was the Sword of King Yue. I didn’t expect that there was a story behind this sword.

You can enter for free with your ID card.

It’s great to take a look at Lu Xun’s life and learn about his story!

After leaving the school, there is a memorial hall diagonally opposite, which contains manuscripts, deeds, and the historical background of Shaoxing at that time.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall, a modern building, occupies a vast expanse. The exhibition halls, divided into two floors, chronicle Lu Xun's brief yet brilliant 56-year life, following his footsteps: Shaoxing, Nanjing, Japan, Beijing, Xiamen, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. Upon entering, the seated statue of Lu Xun and the powerful inscription beside it, "I face the criticism of thousands with a cold brow, and bow my head to serve as a willing ox for the children," are deeply memorable. The second-floor exhibition hall showcases Lu Xun's literary works, a breathtaking display of admiration for this literary giant. As for the descriptions of him as "the backbone of the nation" and "the soul of the nation," I'm sure everyone understands.

The Lu Xun Memorial Hall, reportedly costing nearly 400 million yuan, has become a Shaoxing treasure. It's absolutely worth a visit to receive a masterful education that will benefit you for a lifetime. A cursory half-day tour inevitably leaves you with a fleeting glimpse of the past and missing out on much. I suggest that future visits to Shaoxing be a good start by reviewing Lu Xun's works or middle school textbooks to fully appreciate the experience.

I visited the Lu Xun Memorial Hall once in 2007. I remember it being relatively new. I'm not sure when it opened.

It's divided into the first and second floors. The second floor tells the life story of Mr. Lu Xun in great detail, and also features sculptures and wax figures. Personally, I think the second floor is much more beautiful than the first. I recommend going up to the second floor because it's crowded and you'll learn a lot.

This is a very normal museum. If you want to learn more about Lu Xun, you can spend some time there. Personally, I feel that it is not much different from the Lu Xun Memorial Halls in various parts of China.

The description in the article is in stark contrast to reality. As the saying goes, "seeing the scenery is not as good as hearing about it." Who can explain the merits and demerits of history clearly?

The memorial hall of Lu Xun, a great writer of his generation, gives a detailed introduction to Lu Xun's life. You can take your time to stroll around and have a look.

If you don't like it, it's a waste of time!

The "Lu Xun Life and Deeds Exhibition Hall" of the Lu Xun Memorial Hall itself is a modern exhibition hall with Shaoxing characteristics and contemporary features. Its simple and peaceful shape fully reflects the humanistic connotation of Lu Xun's spirit.

It introduces Lu Xun in great detail, but is not limited to Mr. Lu Xun alone. The overall feeling is very grand, and has the feeling of a Mr. Lu Xun!

This is hard to understand. Friends who know history can go in and take a look. . . . . . . .
