Where is the former residence of Jigong?

Jigong's former residence is in Yongning Village, Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang Province.

Yongning village is outside the north gate of the ancient city, and Jigong's family lives by the Zhexi River. The Li family of Jigong is not very prosperous, but because of its rich history as an official, it can also be called a noble family in Tiantai. A large field on the west bank of Zhexi River (residential buildings have been built now) belongs to this family, and people still call it "Li Jiayang". Zhexi River, which originated in Beishan Yu, is a good place for Jigong to watch floating rice, fish, swim and play when he was a child. There is a "Longxi Garden" near the stone wall. In ancient times, this was the private manor of Li Ji Gong.

The ancestral home of Li Fu, the father-in-law of Ji, changed with the years and finally disappeared. It's natural that people in hometown in past dynasties respected the public and were virtuous and sexy. They have built memorial sites such as Jigong Temple, Jigong Pavilion and Shiqiao on the site many times, hoping to re-emphasize the "living Buddha" and show the virtue of Jigong.
