Introduction to Zhang Hall: Zhang Hall was originally named Yishun Hall. It is said that it was built by the descendants of Xu Kui, the younger brother of Xu Da, King of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty, during the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was sold to a family named Zhang and renamed Yuyantang, commonly known as Zhangting. It is one of the few remaining Ming Dynasty buildings in Zhouzhuang Town and is a key cultural relic protection unit in Jiangsu Province. The couplet on the wall of the hall, "The sedan chair moves forward from the door, the boat passes through the house," very aptly describes the architectural features of Zhang Hall.
