Historical evolution

Yuquyuan memorial hall is located at the south foot of Gushan Mountain. It is rebuilt from Yu Lou, the former residence of Yu Yue, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. It is known as "the first building of West Lake". Yu Yue (1821-1907), with the name of Yinfu and the name of Quyuan, was born in Deqing, Zhejiang Province. He was a great master of Puxue in the late Qing Dynasty. From 1862 to 1908 (during the reign of Tongzhi and Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty), Yu Yue was appointed as the tutor of Gujing jingshe in Gushan, Hangzhou, with a teaching span of more than 30 years. All the disciples named the Gujing jingshe he taught as Yu Lou. In 1878 (the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu), the disciples initiated the construction of Yu tower. The first two floors were built with walls, rockeries, rocks and pavilions. The newly-built yuquyuan memorial hall is built with blue brick walls, green tiles and brown columns, and cornices.
