Afterwards, he returned to Sheng Xuanhuai in Wujin. Zengyuan, formerly known as Xukuoyuan, covers an area of more than 20 acres. It was originally a part of the ruins of the "Xiaowangchuan" garden of Qian Dai, a censor during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli period. It was purchased by the Zeng family during the Qing Dynasty's Tongzhi reign and was built as a home by Zeng Zhi, a physician in the Qing Dynasty's Guangxu Ministry of Justice.
