Guangxu's "Jinhua County Records" records that the former site of Yueming Building was built by Song Xuanhe on the northeast tower of Chisongmen (namely Meihuamen) in Jinhua. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it moved to the rostrum behind the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city, which is the current address. Song Lin Gongdu's poem: "In front of Furong Peak (that is, Jianfeng Mountain), the old moon shines upstream every night." Wang Bai's poems; "In the east of Xuanhe Dongzi Town, there is a scene of Ye Ping." The construction time, place and name of Yue Ming Building are marked. The moved Yueming Building was rebuilt twice in Jiaqing and Daoguang years of Qing Dynasty, destroyed by fire in Xianfeng six years (1856) and rebuilt in Guangxu fifteen years (1889). The existing building was rebuilt by Cao Licheng in the 15th year of Guangxu (1889).
Yue Ming's architectural plan is rectangular, with double eaves on the top of the mountain, stone pillars, sea rhyme wood structure and stone pillars carved by Wu Yankang, a calligrapher in Qing Dynasty. The building site is high in terrain and built on a tower. In the past, Jinhua had low buildings. So from the bright moon upstairs, looking at Furong Peak in the north, looking at Shuangxi in the south, looking around the city, I can remember it vividly. Enjoy the cool in summer, climb mountains in autumn, enjoy the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival, and watch the snow in severe winter, attracting celebrities from past dynasties to visit and recite poems.
Today, Yue Ming Garden has been built around it. Although the scale is not large, the carved columns and stones, complete flowers and trees, and antique Yue Ming buildings are propped up high, which is particularly eye-catching.
On September 9th, 1982, the Jinhua Municipal Government announced Yueming Building as a key cultural relic protection unit in Jinhua.
