Wuyi Lane is located on the south side of Qinhuai River in Nanjing. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was the barracks of the army guarding the Stone City of Wu. The name Wuyi means black clothes. This was because the non-commissioned officers at that time always dress in black. Later the aristocrats of Eastern jin (317-420) gradually assembled at Wiyi Lane, making it popular and famous. In addition, Wangdao and Xie'an, the two founding fathers of Eastern jin, once lived here. The poem Wuyi Lane, written by Tang poet Liu Yuxi is based on it. In 1997, the government of Qinhuai district restored Wuyi Lane and rebuilt Wang and Xie Former Residence to commemorate Wangdao and Xie'an. It is built in Ming and Qing styles. There are a lot of cultural objects and historical data.
