So, you know what? There was a Tiantai man who participated in the reconstruction of the Forbidden City.
According to legend, Zhang Wenyu (Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Works) of the Ming Dynasty Washighographer was appointed to supervise the construction of the three halls of the Imperial Pole, the Middle Pole and the Taiji Of the Forbidden City. When he was ordered to supervise the construction of the Forbidden City in Beijing, he invited a group of craftsmen from the rooftop to decorate the palace's algae, columns, beams, etc.
In 2006, the Tiantai Mountain dry lacquer sandwiching technique was selected as a national intangible cultural heritage, and the dry lacquer ramie craft is a traditional handicraft that has long been applied by Tiantai folk craftsmen. It can comprehensively reflect the common artistic charm of artists in the fields of sculpture and painting in a work.
Let's take a look at Zhang Wenyu's world.

There is a hill in Tiangong Baoxiang Village near the "Taoyuan Spring Dawn" in Baihe Town, where the pines and cypresses on the mountain are lush, the flowers and trees are sparse, and the Ming Dynasty township sage Zhang Wenyu is buried.
Zhang Wenyu (1578-1656) was a celebrity of Tiantai history, with the character Congzhou, the number Taisu, the owner of taoyuan, a native of Tiantai Guoyuan (Later Ju Chengguan), and an official to the Ming Dynasty Capital Chayuan Right Capital Imperial History and Left Shilang of the Ministry of Works. Throughout his life, he left behind a valuable material culture and an intangible culture, that is, a spiritual culture.
County Chronicle: "The Soldiers of the Chengjiao Fang Are Too Big, Wen Yu is a family soldier, multi-party dispatch, and tens of thousands of people are alive ... Good deeds are difficult to enumerate, and after practicing the discipline of loyalty and filial piety, we never take matters into our own hands."
The greatest achievement in his life was the great achievement of repairing the three halls of the Forbidden City, Jiande and Qingliang Mausoleum. At present, the majestic wooden structures and other buildings of the three main halls in the Forbidden City in Beijing are national security cultural relics for the world to visit.
Located in Huaguang Lane, Chicheng Street, Chengguan Town, Tiantai, it was the reading place of Zhang Wenyu, a waiter in the Ministry of Works of the Ming Dynasty, in his later years. Chongzhen resigned from his hometown in the first year of his reign and entertained himself with poetry, writing books such as "Duyu Pavilion Collection" and "Wen Ya Yue" and other manuscript poems. His sons Zhang Yuansheng and Sun Zhang Tingwu were good at poetry, and after entering the Qing Dynasty, they were all highly hidden, known as "Zhang's Three Yi", and the "Three Yi Pavilion" in the former residence was used by the three of them to read and write poetry, and its national integrity is still praised by the locals.
Zhang Wenyu's former residence was built in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and the original building scale of the former residence was very large, known as the "Eighteenth" Authenticity. The existing building covers an area of 2143 square meters, consisting of Duyu Pavilion, Laizi Building, Sanyi Pavilion, etc., and the courtyard is also dotted with rockeries, fish ponds, small bridges, etc., which is a residential building with garden characteristics.
Zhang Wenyu was an important manager of construction projects in the Ming Dynasty, and his former residence is a traditional residential building of the Ming Dynasty that integrates garden style, which has important value for its protection.
In March 2005, it was announced as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit.
Zhang Wenyu's life was high and bright, strong and loyal; great talent, great achievements; architectural masterpieces, flowing fangs and heirlooms. Zhang Wenyu's cultural heritage not only belongs to the Zhang family, but also to Tiantai and even an important part of China's precious cultural heritage.
