I-Shang Bookshop

The Yishi Shang Bookshop is located on the south bank of Longchuan River, and stands for the two Shang books of Hu Fu and Hu Zongxian in the Ming Dynasty. The two Shinshi happened to be 60 years apart, so they were called "Yi Shi". The "Yi Shi Shang Shu" on the square is a handwritten book of Wen Zhengming, exquisitely decorated, which is a model of Hui school stone sculpture.

Attraction Overview

The Yishi Shangshu Archway, built in 1562, is a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. It honours Hu Fu, Minister of Revenue, and Hu Zongxian, Minister of War. The four-column, three-gateway, five-tiered tuff archway is the sole surviving example of fourteen historic Longchuan archways.

Its inscription, Yishi Shangshu, means Ministers Across Generations. It celebrates public service, family virtue and the achievements of the two Ming officials. The openwork stone carvings of vases and seasonal flowers express the wish for peace throughout the year.
