Located on the east side of Mao Dun's former residence, Lizhi College is now the Mao Dun Memorial Hall, originally founded by Yi Shen Yan Chen in the fourth year of Tongzhi. Its predecessor was the WaterShed Academy of Mingzhenjia and Hu, and the site was on the west side of the Wuzhen Beizha Watershed Pier. In the 10th year of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army and the Taiping army fought in Wuzhen, and the Fenshui Academy was destroyed in the war. Five years later, when Yan Chen and others proposed to rebuild the Fenshui Academy, because the old site of the Beizha Academy was so dilapidated that it could no longer be used, there was a former Taiping Army military attaché's residence in Guanqian Street that was sealed by the imperial court. Yan Chen and others took a fancy to this property, so they jointly petitioned the official office and asked that it be divided into a college and expanded.
