Dongming caotang
Tianyi Pavilion was the library of Fan Qin before it was built. Fan Qin (1506- 1585), whose real name is Yaoqing, was named Dongming, so his study was named Dongming Caotang, also known as "My Residence". Now Dongming Cottage is rebuilt on 1980.
Former residence of Fan Shi
Originally the East Hall of Fan Zhai, it was later the residence of Fan's descendants. Outside the Tianyi Pavilion library surrounded by high walls, the living area was isolated from the collection area, which was carefully arranged by Fan Qin to protect the collection. The existing building was rebuilt in the 9th year of Qing Daoguang (1829).
Baoshulou
Built in the 45th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1566), it is the library of Fan Qin, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War in Ming Dynasty, and the earliest existing private library in China.
Fan Qin took the theory that "water is above the sky" and built a library with the meaning of water controlling fire, named Tianyi Pavilion. There is one room upstairs and six rooms downstairs, and a pool is dug in front of the pavilion to prevent fire.
In the 4th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1665), Fan Wenguang, the great grandson of Fan Qin, piled mountains to control water and planted trees and gardens in front of the pavilion. The overall shape of the garden is "longevity and auspiciousness", and the nine lions are piled up with sea reefs. Beautiful scenery, elegant style, unique characteristics of Jiangnan courtyard garden.
