Detail InformationEdit

Tian Yi Ge is an ancient library and garden in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China. It is one of the top tourist attractions in Ningbo. The name refers to the concept of cosmic unity first described in a Han Dynasty commentary to the Book of Changes. In Chinese alchemy Tianyi is linked to the element of water, thus it was believed by providing a watery name would protect the library against fire damage. It is the oldest existing library in China. Founded in 1561 by Fan Qin during the Ming Dynasty, in its heyday, it boasted a collection of 70,000 volume of antique books.
The Qing Dynasty emperor Qianlong visited Tian Yi Ge, and ordered officials to draw schematics of Tian Yi Ge’s building plan and book cases as prototype to build several imperial libraries including Wenyuan Chamber in the Forbidden City, and Wenjin Chamber in the Chengde Mountain Resort to house the Siku Quanshu encyclopedia.
