Many places in China are famous for their celebrities, and it was once mentioned in a program that after Mr. Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, people went to the fields of his home to pick corn to show that they had a connection with Mr. Mo Yan. If you say so, the Ding Manor in Longkou is also a very famous place, where troops were stationed after liberation, where Mr. Mo Yan once served in the military, and now there is a camp where he lived to visit.
In fact, putting aside the celebrity effect, Ding's Manor itself has a well-known strength. Ding's Manor is the former residence of the Ding Million family, the richest man in Shandong during the Qing Dynasty, so it is also known as the Ding's Former Residence. The manor was built in the Yongzheng period, and the whole mansion is magnificent, which is currently a large-scale and well-preserved "courtyard" architectural complex in China.
Ding's Manor is composed of Aifu Hall, Lu Su Tang, Bao Su Tang, Chongjian Hall and Qing Dynasty private garden Shufang Garden, which was originally quite large, with more than 2,700 houses, and after the events of the world, only 240 remain. Even if it is only more than 200 rooms, it is enough to show the prosperity of the Ding family's life. "Lusu Hall" is the essence of it, the hall arch is intricate and exquisite, the strip case, the eight immortals table, the Taishi chair, the floor mirror, etc. are all made of ancient wood, and the hexagonal palace lamp under the beam declares the honor of the master's life.
The furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties is quite distinctive, and in order to be beautiful, it is mostly inlaid with screws. In the study room of Ding's Manor, the furniture has also followed this trend, and the screws are sparkling, with an unconcealed nobility.
Although it is not as exquisite and delicate as the Suzhou garden, and not as solemn as the grandeur and solemnity of the Jinshang compound, the symmetrical and rigorous beauty embodied in the courtyards and courtyards of the manor, as well as the structure of the individual courtyards, is completely in line with the traditional beauty of Chinese for thousands of years.
The legendary stories about Ding Million in the showroom are awe-inspiring, while witnessing the style of Ding's old mansion on the spot, while exploring the past of the Ding family in the text and pictures, it is like re-experiencing a piece of history.
Most of the houses are brick and stone structures, which have a solemn and rustic atmosphere. The doors and windows are exquisitely carved, which makes people admire and do not want to stagger their eyes.
There are many memorials in the manor, most of which are celebrities who came out of longkou.
Shanzhinan (1906-1997), a native of Longkou City, Shandong Province, was a director of the Shandong Calligraphers Association and a librarian of the Shandong Provincial Research Museum of Literature and History.
Ding Foyan (1878-1930), also a native of Longkou City, was a famous social activist, calligrapher, and paleographer in modern times. The area of the memorial hall is not large, the courtyard environment is quite elegantly arranged, and the exhibition hall displays the manuscripts and calligraphy works made by Mr. Ding Foyan before his death, used books, daily necessities, etc., and celebrities who originally had some sense of distance are vivid and concrete because of these.
Mr. Ding Foyan was bright and studious since childhood, traveled to Japan to study, and after completing his studies, he taught at the Shandong Provincial Law and Politics School, and because he actively participated in the Alliance's Mining Preservation Association and opposed germany's occupation of Shandong mining rights, he was elected as a member of the Shandong Provincial Consultative Bureau and began to engage in politics. After the Xinhai Revolution, Mr. Ding Foyan advocated republicanism and opposed the imperial system, and served as the secretary general of Cao Kun's Presidential Office, participated in the constitution-making, advocated federalism, and because he opposed Cao Kun's bribery election, he withdrew from politics and wrote books and lectures.
The building full of ancient charm is very much in line with the historical and cultural atmosphere here, and one by one the memorial halls come over, and the historical heritage and cultural literacy of Longkou and Longkou people are vividly presented.
Walking in the garden, the mind still comes up with the appearance of the old house, after more than 400 years, this old house has experienced how many people, how many things, and now people are looking for scattered past, distant years, those events that have either really happened, or branded with legendary stories, have become legends, become memories.
