I can't say enough about this ancient city.

? Shiping ancient town has experienced countless times, but it has only experienced once.

The first impression of Shiping ancient town is nothing more than the low shops on both sides of the street, the Confucian Temple, Yuping Academy, Shiping old yamen, Guibei Street, the remaining stone road, and the former residences of celebrities who have long been familiar with it, such as the former residence of Li Hengsheng, a famous squire in Shiping, and the former residence of Yuan Jiagu, the top scholar.

We can't deny the significance of these historical labels, but in this regard alone, it seems that the naming style of a famous country in literature is not enough to enrich Shiping ancient town.

The ancient town of Shiping, 0.75 square kilometers, has always been very introverted, just like a person's name.

It doesn't like publicity.

Without its deep belly traction, the camera shutter of the eyes will only flash by, and my heart will be blurred and trance.

But Shiping Old Town is not disrespectful. I just didn't know the true face of Lushan Mountain before.

The hinterland on both sides of the main streets in the east, west, north and south is full of historical roots, and in the depths of each roadway, it is intertwined and intertwined.

I don't know how to describe it.

Exploring the inner glory of the old city depends, of course, on its architecture.

In addition to the Jinshi Taishi and other old houses, they have been told by the plaques hanging on both sides of the old street, and more old houses are hidden in the depths.

In every alley of the old city, there are a large number of buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China.

People who are not familiar with architectural style can only judge by a general context: Ming dynasty architecture is simple and vigorous, rigorous and simple; The eaves and arches of buildings in Qing Dynasty are complicated, and flowers and birds are painted with colored ink. Highgarden Siheyuan was built in the Republic of China, with masonry as the main building and wood structure as the supplement.

Shiping ancient town absorbed the architectural styles of three periods. In the large-scale construction of modern architecture, Shiping Guijia ancient town has become an ancient building museum.

Needless to say, the old house is carved with beams and painted with buildings, and the content is complicated and I can't tell; Needless to say, the halls and thresholds are dignified and neat, and the flowers and birds are empty. The patio in the old house alone is full of antique flavor.

The patio is strict, the name of the house is purlin up and down, and the left and right wings; The courtyard bluestone is eclectic and spontaneous, or it is naturally scattered or chiseled neatly.

Some patios are not paved with bluestone bricks, which absorb water, so the house is full of moisture.

Dandelion poked its head out from the cracks in the bluestone bricks, and the wind outside the door fell vaguely in the bluestone jar under the zhaobi.

Old houses have patios, which are convenient to purlin, and you can only enter by stepping on three stone steps.

China's Taoist philosophy holds that the Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything. Three represents many, big, many and prosperous.

Therefore, the old house community has existed in Shiping ancient town for hundreds of years, and descendants have thrived and accumulated strength.

I was surprised to find that all the old houses I walked into were in the upper hall of the patio, connected by three stone steps, with a bluestone slope on each side of each stone step. These two triangular plagioclase stones have a name: vertical belt.

Any old house with a sling is extremely simple.

In ancient China, only the scholar-officials who held important positions and enjoyed high reputation were qualified to build vertical belts on both sides of their own steps.

Some old houses are very old, the wooden walls have collapsed, and the original appearance can't be seen long ago. Only the hanging belt shines in the depths of time.

The vertical ribbon of the old house compound proves the simple conclusion that one plus one equals several: Shiping once produced 1 economic special unit, 65 Jinshi, 65 Hanlin Jinshi, 15 Wujinshi and165438,640 civil and military Jinshi.

The pace is stagnant, and the attraction of the old house is irresistible.

The dark window lattice of the wing penetrates a little sunshine, and a vertical and horizontal light and shadow is woven obliquely.

In the depths of light and shadow is the year when Na Yue studied alone, willing to pace, think alone and look at the end of the world.

A roll of four books and five classics, an inkstone and ink, a stack of yellow rice paper, and a gap is haggard.

Fame is not dust and soil, nor is reading bitter and sad.

Six hundred years ago, Shiping people began to have unlimited contact with Central Plains culture. The sages regarded the golden house in the book as a seed, carefully tended it, swept away the weeds in the garden in their hearts, dusted off the impetuous dust, and weaved their dreams with no distractions.

The shadows of the trees are swaying, the bamboo leaves are full of dew, and the moon is clear several times, depicting the spring and autumn.

Shiping people have never stopped on the road of guarding a famous literary country.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Mr. Yuan Jiagu specially wrote a poem, Reading Music, which summarized the cultural integrity of Shiping people.

Persevering diligence and calmness, sitting in the book city. Smoke seals the screen window and the wind sings dragons through the paper account.

Besides green grass, Jiao Tong also has Cai Yong. Who are the friends in the midnight building? The bell of Zhu Tian Temple rang.

Shiping ancients took great pains to break cocoons into butterflies, and the last one was like a blowout.

Feng, the retired director of Shiping County Archives, is familiar with Shiping Ancient Town. Teacher Feng's book "The Secret Land of Shiping" provides a rare guide for finding the streets and alleys of Shiping ancient town. Limited to space, this paper briefly describes the former residences of some shiping celebrities.

......

An old house in Shiping City, a story of Shiping people.

Some people compare the ancient imperial examination with today's college entrance examination: the ancient scholar is almost the same as today's 2 1 1, and the juren is equivalent to high flyers of Tsinghua Peking University.

This contrast between modern and ancient times is outrageous. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 700 people with juror diplomas in Shiping, second only to Kunming and Dali in Yunnan Province.

As a Shiping man, I have no intention of indulging in the glory of Shiping ancients.

This kind of glory is actually a spiritual trait.

This spiritual trait always revolves around perseverance, and Shiping people will eventually achieve great things.

Ancient scholars claimed that thousands of people flocked, but it was not a strange term in Shiping. The reading atmosphere of Shiping people can definitely be compared with that of the Central Plains in ancient times.

A line of six people walked into the hsu family compound in Kannonji lane, it was already noon.

Li, director of the County Records Office who likes calligraphy, looked at a regular script on the broken tablet.

Broken tablets are placed at the sewer mouth to pad the basin for fetching water and washing vegetables. This is a normal thing, and many Shiping families have such life experiences.

The inscription is incomplete, but what is left is shocking! The text is "... Xu Shi Xian ..." and the inscription is "My brother Zhang makes a nod". Yes, the owner of this monument is Xu. The problem is signature!

Who is Zhang?

Zhang, an outstanding politician in the Qing Dynasty, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, the second son, a college student, was a scholar in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi (1700), was reformed, was given a review, entered the south study room, and entered the power center. Kangxi dynasty, the official to the left assistant minister of punishments, rectified the bureaucracy. After Yong Zhengdi acceded to the throne, he successively served as the minister of rites, the minister of household affairs, the minister of official affairs, the university student of Baohe Hall (cabinet record) and the minister of military aircraft, thus perfecting the military system. After his death, Zhang was named the ancestral temple, the only Han minister in the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang was an important official in the Qing Dynasty, and served as a national historian, a historian of the Ming Dynasty, a historian of the Four Dynasties, a canon of the Qing Dynasty, and a record of Sejong.

Zhang's self-esteem "bowing" is enough to show the influence of his career in Beijing.

This monument is another tangible proof of Shiping's famous literary country.

Time is not far away, we must constantly strive for self-improvement.

Shiping's Confucianism is a bright light for later screen people. In the old house, there is the shadow of green osmanthus.

Next to the tall zhaobi, dark green olives are faintly jumping under the dense grapefruit leaves; All day long, the red pomegranate flowers are full of emotions; In the corner, the bluestone mine field shows infinite ancient charm, and the well water is still strong and prosperous, almost equal to the ground; The ancestors left flowerpots, flowerpots and flower beds, and flowers and plants were in full bloom.

Isn't this the beauty we yearn for in our hearts? Looking back at the ancient Shiping people, they were not only hardworking, but also enjoyed the life of fireworks.

In ancient times, the style of writing was flourishing and talented people came forth in large numbers. Only when there is solid family support and considerable money.

How to get fame and honor, and how to get the reading wealth of the glorious family?

The answer is to do business in the west and mine in the next old place! Therefore, Shiping ancient town was built on horseback.

This is another rich and legendary history. This period of history, like Shiping ancient town, has endless historical stories and humanistic feelings.

There are still five horse shops on the outer edge of Zhuquan Street outside Ximenlai Hotel, which is the resting place of Shiping caravan.

Think back to the scene of Shiping caravan entering the city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China: the vast caravan, outside the West Gate, was well dressed and returned home in splendor. The caravan passed the gate of Ang Ang, with red tassels like crowns and bells ringing. Two mules held their heads high and their iron hooves clanged on the slate. The tail mule shakes the ancient street and chases the wind and jade bells.

Shiping caravan, with the characteristics of Confucian businessmen, has both the virtue and wisdom of Confucian scholars and the wealth and success of businessmen. They pay attention to personal cultivation, operate with integrity, have high cultural quality, pay attention to cooperation and have a strong sense of responsibility.

The ultimate goal of Confucian businessmen is to be super-utilitarian, have a lofty sense of responsibility for social development, have great aspirations and sense of hardship to save the people, and pursue success for the good of the world. In ancient times, there were a generation of Confucian merchants such as Tao Zhu, Zigong and Bai Gui, and later there were famous Confucian merchants such as Huizhou merchants, Shanxi merchants and Huai merchants.

Obviously, without Shiping Commercial Group, the name of a famous country in literature cannot be erected. For example, the ancestor of Yuan Jiagu, the champion of the late Qing Dynasty, founded the famous Ganlizhen tea shop in Yi Wu, Mengla; For example, Chen Heting, a tin mining industrialist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, presided over the construction of Shiping No.1 Middle School; For example, during the Anti-Japanese War, Li Hengsheng, an industrialist of Gejiu tin mine, donated money to the government forces of the Republic of China to buy planes to fight against Japan; For example, during the Qianlong period, the big silver king Wu Shangxian, Myanmar established diplomatic relations with China; For example, Huang Bi 'an, a modern treasure display city, deals in medicinal materials and helps the world by hanging pots. ...

There are also many Confucian and merchant heavyweights in Shiping. Their entrepreneurial history and their feelings about home and country are all masterpieces of Shiping.

Old streets and alleys are the backbone of this masterpiece Shiping Ancient Town. Old house, old house, is the memory carried in the page; The historical flavor of the old house is the book's fragrance of books and ink.

The wind is blowing, and the pages of Shiping Ancient Town are full. To understand the words on the page, we must first have a respectful heart, and we must also have the fighting spirit of Shiping's ancestors' selfless study and rigorous scholarship.

Government departments have been carrying out the transformation of old houses and old streets in Shiping ancient town, and Shiping ancient town is gradually recovering its former appearance.

Next to the Confucian Temple, the original craft shop in the Chenghuang Temple heard the song of Shiping people: Shiping ancient city, four doors, everyone has a juren …
