Statue of the Well-Known Tang Dynasty Poet and Politician Ju-Yi Bai in Front of "Pi-Pa" House (白居易 - 琵琶亭)

The name "Pi-Pa" comes from a music instrument. This House was built recent to honor his exile that was served in Kiukiang, ca. 815 AD, and one of the most famous poems he wrote during that time: "....同是天涯沦落人,相逢何必曾相识...."

Its history would date back to the declining days of Han Dynasty: "三国演义 (Romance of The Three Kingdoms)"
