Pipa Pavilion is a famous historical and cultural attraction in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, China: 1. Location and history Pipa Pavilion is located on the east side of the Yangtze River Bridge in Jiujiang City, adjacent to the Yangtze River and backed by Pipa Lake. Its history can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, and it was built in the first year of the Tang Dynasty (the specific date is to be determined), with a history of more than 1,200 years. According to records, in the tenth year of the Yuanhe period of the Tang Dynasty (815), the poet Bai Juyi was demoted to Sima of Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang). In the autumn night of the following year, he met a geisha playing the pipa while seeing off a friend at the head of Xunyang River (near Beijing Road, Jiujiang today).
