The Ji Xiaolan Residence is located at No. 241 West Main Street at Zhushikou in Beijing, China. It was originally the residence of Yue Zhongqi (岳鍾琪), (a descendant of Yue Fei), the Minister of War (兵部尚書) and Governor-General of Shanxi and Gansu provinces during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor in the Qing dynasty. Ji Yun (Ji Xiaolan) lived at this address for two periods of his life: from the age of 11 to 39, and again from the age of 48 to 82. Yuewei Cottage (Chinese: 阅微草堂; pinyin: yùewēicǎotáng) is a nickname for the residence given by Ji Xiaolan himself. He wrote Fantastic Tales By Ji Xiaolan (The Shadow Book of Ji Yun, Empress Wu Books, 2021) at this residence. In volume 15, Lend An Ear to Something Without Taking It Seriously, he wrote: "Hufang bridge used to be the residence of Weixing Gong (Yue Zhongqi). There is a stone, about seven or eight feet in height, lying in the east of the site. It is said that the stone was a gift from the Yongzheng Emperor when he began to construct the house. It was transported from Tuer mountain. It holds pride of place among all the Taihu stones in Nancheng, hence I am called The Old Man of the Lonely Stone." The original Taihu stones of Yuewei Cottage were sent back to Tuer Mountain, in Yingtai, Zhongnanhai.
