One of the "three Jies of the late Song Dynasty", as long as he mentions the famous sentence that has been circulating for thousands of years, "who has not died since ancient times, leave Dan's heart to shine on the sweat", People will immediately think of his name - Wen Tianxiang. Wen Tianxiang, the first name Yun Sun, the word Tianxiang, after the Gongshi, the name of Tianxiang, changed the word Lushan, at the age of 21, the word Song Rui, and then Wenshan as the number.

There is a stone monument inscribed with the statue of Wen Tianxiang and his absolute "Zanzi" "Kong Yu Chengren, Meng Yu take righteousness. Only its righteousness is complete, so benevolence. What have you learned when you read the Holy Book? Now and then, it is almost worthy! "This can be said to be Wen Tianxiang's evaluation of his life, expressing no regrets. The East Wall is engraved with the full text of "Zhengqi Song", which is the book of the Ming Dynasty calligrapher's literary name. The hall is an exhibition about Wen Tianxiang's life and deeds, and another folding booklet can be picked up by yourself. The contents of the exhibition can be carefully browsed for 20 minutes. There is a "guide tree" in the second hospital, it is rumored that Wen Tianxiang planted it by himself, and the tree naturally faces south. People think this expresses Wen Tianxiang's national feelings in the north to the Southern Song Dynasty.
