On Xiguan Aestheticism

Lv Zu Memorial Hall (Tianjin Yihetuan Memorial Hall) is located at Hejia Hutong 18, Ruyian Street, Hongqiao District. It is built in the lobby of the West Annex Building. At present, it is the only well-preserved boxer altar in China. Xuande in the 26th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty and the 8th year of Xuande (1433) is an exquisite and unique Taoist temple. The hospital is named after Lv Dongbin, who devoted himself to the "pure Lv Yang people" and covers an area of 3,000 square meters. It was initiated by Shanmen, Qian Dian and Houdian and the Boxer Movement (AD 1900). Cao Futian, a famous boxer leader, set up an altar here, which became the center of boxer activities at that time. The famous battle of Zizhulin, the battle of Laolongtou and the battle plan to defend Tianjin were all drawn up here. The quadrangle was once the place where the members of the regiment practiced martial arts and interrogated the "two-hair men".
