In the forest of the east of Zhongshan Mausoleum and the west of Linggu Temple in the east of Nanjing, there is a classical building imitating the Lama Temple of Qing Dynasty hidden by streams and trees. It is built according to the mountain and has great momentum. Here is the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall, which is the Museum to preserve and display the historical relics of the great man Sun Yat Sen. The Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall, formerly known as the Sutra collection building, is one of the many memorial buildings in the Sun Yat Sen mausoleum. It was originally donated by the Chinese Buddhist Association and was initially used for collecting Buddhist scriptures. The building, which covers an area of more than 3000 square meters, consists of three parts: the main building, the monk's room and the stele corridor. It was designed by the famous architect Lu Fengzhang and completed in the winter of 1936. When you come to the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall, the first thing you see is a bronze statue of Sun Yat Sen standing on the stone steps in the center of the square. The bronze statue is 2.9 meters high and weighs more than a ton. It takes Sun Yat Sen's posture of delivering a speech to the public as its shape. It is majestic and lifelike. This bronze statue was presented by a Japanese friend of Dr. Sun Yat Sen's life.

The Sutra house is full of historical vicissitudes. Before the Anti Japanese War, a number of precious cultural relics and Buddhist scriptures were collected in the Sutra building. These cultural relics and Buddhist scriptures were presented or recommended by Buddhist circles after the building was completed. After the outbreak of the Anti Japanese War, the Sutra house was seriously damaged, the monk's house and stele gallery were destroyed by Japanese artillery fire, and the cultural relics and Buddhist scriptures were also missing. After the founding of new China, the local government allocated funds for many times and gradually built the main building, monk's house and stele corridor. In November 1986, to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat Sen's birth, a rich exhibition of Dr. Sun Yat Sen's historical relics and works was held here. For the first time, the library has received a large-scale overseas mausoleum visiting delegation composed of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong and Macao, as well as experts and scholars attending academic seminars. Sun suiying, sun Suihua, Dai Chenggong and many well-known people at home and abroad came here to visit. On May 7, 1987, Nanjing Municipal People's government officially approved the building as "Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall". On May 30, 1989, on the eve of Dr. Sun Yat Sen's 60th anniversary of feng'an, the museum was officially opened to the public.

In particular, the large-scale computer spray painting "the great men of the century" at the end of the fourth floor vividly interprets the modern history of the three great men from Sun Yat Sen, Mao Zedong to Deng Xiaoping in the 20th century expounded by Comrade Jiang Zemin in the report of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China The great role played in the history gives us profound enlightenment.

On the wall of the corridor are 138 pieces of blue stone tablets from Songshan Mountain in Henan Province presented by general Feng Yuxiang. As early as the autumn of 1920, Feng Yuxiang began to contact Sun Yat Sen. since then, Sun Yat Sen has been doing his work. By the end of 1928, Zhongshan Mausoleum was about to be completed, and the cemetery was actively preparing for Sun Yat Sen's burial. Feng Yuxiang, through Sun Ke, told the Preparatory Office of Sun Yat Sen's burial that he was willing to donate a batch of green steles from Songshan Mountain in Henan Province to engrave the full text of Sun Zhong LJJ's "three principles of the people" in Zhongshan Mausoleum. After getting approval, he carefully selected more than 90 steles and transported them to Nanjing to be engraved directly opposite Zhongshan Mausoleum And build a 13 story memorial tower there. In 1930, the Central Plains war broke out among Jiang, Feng and Yan, and Feng Yuxiang's plan to carve a monument and build a pagoda in shaojiashan, Zhongshan cemetery, came to nothing. It was not until 1935 that the Buddhist Association of China built the Sutra collection building on the east side of the tomb of Zhongshan that these steles were used to build a corridor behind the Sutra collection building, engraved with the full text of Sun Yat Sen's three principles of the people. More than 90 pieces of Steles presented by Feng Yuxiang were not enough. He also bought more than 40 pieces of Steles from Songshan Mountain, Henan Province, and meticulously engraved the full text of the three principles of the people, with a total of 16 lectures and 155000 words. It was written by 14 calligraphers in the period of the Republic of China. All of them were in regular script, with different styles and exquisite attainments. It can be called the best of contemporary calligraphy art and has high appreciation value.
