On September 8th, I went to a nursing home in a monastery in Fuzhou to volunteer, and in my spare time, I went to the ancient city of Fuzhou "Three Squares and Seven Alleys".
Sanfang Seven Alleys is a national 5A-level tourist attraction, and is one of the historical districts left in Fuzhou's old town after undergoing demolition and construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is the source of Fuzhou's history, the root of culture and the place where the cultural context flourishes.
Since the formation of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, sanfang and seven lanes have been the residences of nobles and scholars, and the Qing Dynasty has gone to glory in the Republic of China.
"Three Lanes and Seven Alleys" is a business card of Fuzhou and is a must-visit place to come to Fuzhou.
"Three Squares and Seven Alleys" refers to the abbreviation of Ten Fang Lanes arranged from north to south on both sides of Nanhou Street in Gulou District, Fuzhou City. This is an ancient city area, which has been famous in history.
There are about 270 existing ancient houses in the area, and 159 are listed as protected buildings. Among them, the ancient building complex of Sanfang And Seven Alleys, represented by 9 typical buildings such as Shen Baozhen's former residence, Lin Juemin's former residence, and Yan Fu's former residence, was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
The three pieces to the west are called "Fang", and from north to south, they are Yijinfang, Wenrufang, and Guanglufang "Three Fangs". To the east, the seven are called "lanes", Yangqiao Lane, Langguan Lane, Ta Lane, Yellow Lane, Anmin Lane, Gong Lane, Andi Lane "Seven Lanes".
Sanfang——
The first workshop: Yijinfang
Yijinfang means that there are people in the workshop who are going out to become high officials, and then Yijin returns to his hometown and glories the township.
No. 16 Yijinfang Middle is the residence of Zheng Pengcheng, a Qingjiaqing jinshi
Among them, the Yijinfang Water Pavilion Theatre stage is the most distinctive
It is a wooden single-storey platform with four columns and a single-bay room with a clear water pond underneath, a courtyard in the middle, and an attic façade. Watch theatrical performances here, water clear, wind clear, sound clear, with acoustic principles and aesthetic value, is the only existing water pavilion in Fuzhou City.
The second workshop: WenruFang
The name Wenrufang was coined during the Song Dynasty. According to the "Rongcheng Archaeological Sketch", this alley was originally named "Rulinfang", and was later renamed to the present name after Zheng Muju, a Song sacrifice wine. Zheng Mu served as the superintendent of the state and was an important official of the country's highest academic institution.
Zhang Jing, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, and Gan Guobao, a famous general of the Qing Dynasty, and Gan Guobao, the general of Taiwan, also lived here.
In the Qing Dynasty, the former residence of Chen Chengqiu, the home of the "Minjinshi" (five generations of Zhongjinshi), which was known throughout the country, was also in the workshop.
Chen Chengqiu's eldest son was Chen Baochen, a teacher of emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty.
The former residence of Chen Yan, a famous poet of the Qing Dynasty, is also in the workshop
There is also the former residence of Chen Jiliang
Lin Zexu's mother's former residence
This workshop is famous for its generations of confucians.
The third place: Guanglu Fang
Guanglufang is connected to Hulu Road in the west and Jipi Lane in the east, and the name of the square is Guanglu, which is the seventh year (1062) of the Song Dynasty Jiayou Fang's imperial seal of Guanglu Doctor, and the name of the fang is "Guanglu".
There is an alley on the north side of the western section of Guanglufang, called Morning Title Lane, and after the martyr Lin Juemin of the Huanghuagang Uprising in Xinhai was martyred in Guangzhou, his family moved out of Nanhou Street and took refuge in the alley.
Guanglufang No. 28-34 is the Liu Family Compound, covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters, which is a large residential building in Fuzhou City. Building materials are very exquisite, doors and windows, window sashes, partitions, etc. are mostly made of nan wood, there are more than 100 large columns with a length of more than 3 meters, eight horses and other exquisite patterns carved on the bluestone pillar foundation, and more than 300 paving stones with a length of more than 3 meters.
The two on the east side were originally the former residence of the famous painter Xu You in the early Qing Dynasty, Mi YouTang, and the two on the west side were the former residences of Lin Yao, who entered the 51st year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1712) and became the secretary of the cabinet, and later changed their owners, and were rebuilt for Liu Qiqu and Liu Qiguan brothers during the Qing Dynasty.
Liu Qiqu (1813-1860) was the brother of Liu Qi, whose parents died at an early age and was adopted by his uncle Liu Jiazhen. In the twenty-first year of Qing Daoguang (1841), he and his brother Liu Qi ranked the same soldier, and "brothers with the same list of two jinshi" became a good story in the history of Fuzhou Keju.
