Xinqi in Beilun District, Ningbo, its name is derived from Yongfengqi. The brick was built in the forty-first year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1776), because the east has been built with Taihe Qi, the west built in Beiqi, and Yongfeng Qi was built relatively late, so it is commonly known as "Xinqi", the name has been used to this day.
In the old days, this was the "country head" that people in the city talked about. Because of its remoteness and relative isolation, the people around Xinqi buy and sell things, and they will converge in the surrounding area with Yongfengqi as the core, where commerce and trade are increasingly developed, and the street market is getting bigger and bigger, becoming an important seafood distribution center along the coast.
He Youzhi Memorial Hall on Xihetang Road (He Youzhi Art Museum)
The famous comic strip artist He Youzhi grew up here when he was a child, and the shouting of the vendors was deeply engraved in his mind, and he would be excited when he recalled it. Based on what he saw and heard in the 1930s, he created a set of comic strips of "New Qi Old Street Style", and nostalgia and attachment jumped on the paper.
On Xihetang Road, the He Youzhi Memorial Hall can give people a better understanding of the life experience, artistic achievements, noble character and deep feelings for his hometown of this veteran artist who has made outstanding contributions to the cause of comic strip painting in China.
Nowadays, Xinqi Old Street, which is mainly based on Xinqi West Street, still maintains commercial vitality, and because there are many old houses with cheap rents here, people from the north of the South China Sea have been gathered to live and rent here, which also makes it quite human fireworks.
The intersection of Xinda Road and Xinqi West Street is very spacious, and from here you walk into Xinqi West Street, and the city is full of gas. The streets are lined with shops, the shouts of the year-end promotions are one after another, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and sugar-fried chestnuts makes people immersed in the sweetness of winter...
Xiangfa Lane old house
Xiangfa Lane, Tangli Gu Lane... Feel free to turn into any lane, and your ears will immediately be clean again. The old house has lost its gorgeous appearance, the walls are black and white, the door is dark and red, and above the mutilated wall, there are puppies standing on it, and kittens snuggle together to keep warm. The dried fish and meat sausages dried by the residents are slightly swaying with the wind, and they already have a little taste of the year.

Every old house seems to have a story. An old mansion has deep foundations, but the walls are visibly sloping. The tenant who rented here said with a fluttering eyebrow: "I heard from the landlord that this wall was once blown up by Japanese shells, but the foundation of this house is well laid, and it is still very strong." ”
Old water tower
At the east end of Xinqi West Street is the Xinqi Double Bridge, Dongqi Bridge and Taihe Bridge. The cyan stone railing of the Dongqi Bridge is relatively new, the stone piers have obviously undergone the baptism of time, the color is black and dark, and under the perennial erosion of the river, the edges and corners of the stone blocks have become rounded, but they still tenaciously support the bridge deck of the traffic.
The piers of the Dongqi Bridge are quite historical
Turn right across dongqi bridge and cross the Taihe Bridge to Xingyang Village. Xingyang Village, a typical urban village, is now undergoing demolition, most of the residents have moved away, and some half-demolished houses still stand in the ruins and tiles.

The outer wall of the Chen family house, built in the Guangxu period, is covered with blood red leaves, and under the setting sun, the old house looks more and more lonely.
The Chen family house, also known as houxin house, was built by Chen Qingguo, the doctor of the government. The gate stone is engraved with the words "Lesson Reading Class Cultivation MianShize, Ke Qin Ke Frugal Family Voice", and the door frame is engraved with "Filial piety is filial piety, and entering is courtesy and retreating with righteousness". Outside the courtyard door, an old man introduced that this word was written by Wang Rongshang, a scholar in the twelfth year of Qing Guangxu and an attendant of the Hanlin Academy. Wang Rongshang was a new person, young and studious, honest as an official, who served the emperor to study, and also made contributions to the culture and education of his hometown and the dredging of rivers. "There is also the ancestral residence of the Chen family in the south, which is also the place where Chen Yifei was born, you can go and see it." The old man said in a guided manner.
The shanglian engraved on the door frame of chen's residence was written by Wang Rongshang, an attendant of the Hanlin Temple
The gate of Chen's ancestral residence (Chen Yifei's former residence).
Through a field of rubble, I found the gate of Chen Yifei's former residence, and there was only one window in the large courtyard that shone brightly, and an old man was eating dinner, accompanied by a puppy. Seeing that someone was coming, the old man enthusiastically led the reporter to the innermost compartment, pointed to the two houses, and said: "Chen Yifei was born here, and when he was about two months old, he followed his father to Shanghai." "Chen Yifei, whose life set sail from here, has never stopped on the road of pursuing art, and eventually became a generation of oil paintings, I don't know if there is a shadow of his hometown in his Jiangnan water town theme works?
At this time, the twilight had darkened, the old house was as silent as an old man, and the figure gradually became blurred.
