Originally, it was a family ancestral shrine of Lu Zhaoyu, built in 1787 for memorializing his ancestor Lu Guimeng, an honorable man in the Tang Dynasty (618?907). The basic structure is based on the original villa in Tang Dynasty, with the green attic, wind pavilion, bay tree house, duck pool, chrysanthemum plot, and bamboo bank.
