Traces of time: the aftermath of the old house
In some quiet town, there is an old mansion that, although it has been worn down by the years, still exudes an aftermath and is eye-catching. This old mansion has a history of more than 100 years and is a typical second-entry courtyard, where every inch of land has precipitated traces of time and has become a historical witness of this town.
Features of the gate
The gate of this old house is a beautiful sight to behold from the street. It is made of green bricks, with a large gate and a mighty lion's head hanging on it, and each pillar is made of ancient nan wood, which is strong and durable. The couplets on the forehead of the door, "Virtuous Load", "Elegant and Tolerant People" and the horizontal batch of "Hongfu" convey the master's family motto. The family is clearly a moral and generous family, and the "Hung Fu" symbolizes their wishes for happiness and well-being for everyone in the family.
Squatting of two small animals
On either side of the gate, two small animals squatted there, their shapes like puppies, with smart expressions on their faces. Although these small sculptures are inconspicuous, in front of the door of the old house, they seem to become guardian spirits, quietly watching those who pass by every day, conveying to them the wishes of tranquility and kindness.
Walk into the compound
Walking into the courtyard of the old house, the ground is made of red bricks, and the structure is solemn. However, due to the erosion of the years, the old mansion has suffered a lot of damage. The paint on the walls has peeled off, and the moss has grown in the corners, but even so, the old house still exudes a sense of solemnity.
Tasteful structure
The structure of the old house is very elegantly designed. The roof is arched, the door wall is high, and the whole courtyard is solemn. The four rivers return to the church, and the air circulation is good. Standing in the courtyard, it seems that you can feel the passage of time and the accumulation of history. And some of the slogans on the wall bring us back to the Anti-Japanese War era, that era full of beacon smoke, people for the peace of the country, go forward and successively, these slogans have become a window of memory, reminding the past.
summary
Although the old mansion is dilapidated, it is still the pride of the town. Its gate features, small animal sculptures, elegant structure and slogans from the Anti-Japanese War era all make it a witness to history and inherit the traces of time. This old mansion reminds us that despite the passage of time, history has always remained here, and it is a living teaching material of our history and culture, which is worth cherishing and inheriting.
