According to reports, Li Zhi is one of the outstanding historical figures of the Chinese nation. With his wise thoughts, he turned a new page in the history of China's ideological and cultural development. Quanzhou, the hometown of Li Zhi, was once an oriental port, which gave birth to Li Zhi's thoughts with its developed commercial culture and rich historical background. The purpose of restoring and opening Li Zhi's former residence and holding an academic seminar on Li Zhi's thoughts is to explore the cultural accumulation of famous cities and carry forward the spirit of patriotism.
Li Zhi's former residence is located in Quanzhou's old business district and Mianjie, with three bays and two depths. There is a front hall and a main hall. The main hall is 6 meters wide and 9 meters deep, with a patio in front. Now, according to the ancient houses in southern Fujian, it has been transformed into a memorial hall.
Li Zhi's former residence was once converted into a ancestral hall.

Now there is one in Beijing History Museum and one in Quanzhou Cultural Management Association. Li Zhi's former residence is listed as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit.
