I Discovered a Library in a Ming Dynasty Minister's Mansion in Nanchang

As an ancient architecture enthusiast, I've made a new discovery! It's the Shangshu Di inside the Huanan Museum—a library converted from an ancient residence that was once the mansion of Wang Gai, Minister of Justice during the Ming Dynasty. The original site was in Ji'an. The current structure was relocated from Ji'an, showcasing grand architectural magnificence. It features exquisite stone carvings, brick carvings, and wood carvings—each piece so lifelike it rivals artwork, fully demonstrating the craftsmanship's brilliance. The entire building was reconstructed here from Ji'an, faithfully restored to its original form. During restoration, to enhance its visual appeal while preserving authenticity, upgrades were made by adding historically significant antiques—elaborate yet harmonious. Due to various reasons, the library is currently not operating normally. I suggest treating it as a historical site for visits. If you wish to enter, contact staff at the entrance to unlock it. ⚠️Mosquitoes are rampant inside—be sure to take anti-mosquito measures! 📚Shangshu Pavilion Boutique Library [RoundNails]No. 3319, Changnan Avenue, Qingyunpu District, Nanchang (inside Huanan Museum gate, near Bada Shanren) [Compass]9:00-17:00 (Closed Mondays) [Calendar]Free admission
