Sweeping Leaf Mountain House is a book carving workshop built by Xi family in Changshu, Jiangsu Province in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is one of the most famous folk publishing institutions in Qing Dynasty, and it is also the name of Xi Engraving Bookstore. Xi's block printing began in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty and was first established in Suzhou. It is said that the first reason for its name is that it is not easy to engrave books and proofread them. It is named after the ancients' meaning that proofreading books is like sweeping leaves and falling with them. Secondly, the original local calligrapher Ye's book is very famous, and his book is named "Sweeping Leaves", which is in competition with Ye's book. His most famous teacher is Jian in the early Qing Dynasty, whose word is Yuzhao. It has a rich collection of books, concentrated collection of novels, novels and medical books, and stored in the library, which was also an elegance at that time. All the books are Zhu Zhuzhuan, such as Treasures of Xiangbei, Treasures of Mo, Rare Books of Yushan, Reading by Zhao Yu, Zhao Yujia's Collection, and Saihuatang.

Its carved books were first seen in the Ming Dynasty. In Wuzhong (now Suzhou and Changshu), Xi Chyi Yu published the Thirteen Classics and the Seventeen History, which were popular all over the world, and compiled hundreds of Tang poems for publication in Fu Zi. They all have the words "cleaning the house with leaves", which means "proofreading books is like sweeping leaves" After enlightenment, it was divided into Dongting and Yushan, and Yushan (now Changshu) people carved more books. During Emperor Kangxi's southern tour, xi presented a new block-printed Complete Tang Poetry and orchids. Sun Qiyu, as a mirror, carved a lot of books, and bought Jin Mao's "Ji Gu Ting Ji" to reprint and circulate. The word "Sweeping the Leaf Mountain House" is also engraved on the heart of every book board.
