There is a "developed road" in Tubu Town, Yongxiu County, which runs east-west, starting from Yongxiu Railway Station in the east, crossing Xincheng Avenue in the middle, and ending at Ring Road in the west. Bounded by Xincheng Avenue, xincheng avenue is east to the railway station, formerly known as Zhanqian Road. West of Xincheng Avenue to the ring road was formerly known as West 2nd Road. In order to commemorate the Qing Dynasty royal architect "Style Lei" ancestor Lei Developed, on June 25, 2004, after the 14th executive meeting of the 13th People's Government of Yongxiu County, it was decided to merge into one road and renamed it Developed Road.
Lei Fengfeng (雷富), also spelled Mingsuo, was born on February 21, 1619 (April 5, 1619) in Xincheng Township, Jianchang County, Nankang Province, Jiangxi Province (present-day Xinzhuang Village, Meitang Town, Yongxiu County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province). Lei developed into a family of carpenters, and learned carpentry skills with his father Lei Zhensheng since childhood. Under the strict discipline of his father, he practiced a strong skill. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lei Yucheng, Lei's grandfather, and his family moved to Jinling's Stone City (present-day Jiangning District, Nanjing). In the second year of Qing Shunzhi (1645), Lei Fengfa and his uncle Lei Zhenzhou "applied for the art" to Beijing to participate in the reconstruction of the Forbidden City. When rebuilding the Taihe Hall, there was a lack of Nan wood to make a large beam, and Lei Develop suggested that the old beams of The Ming Tomb Nan wood be removed and used. On the day of the Liang Dynasty, Qing Shizu (The Shunzhi Emperor) led hundreds of officials to pay their respects. When the beam is lifted, the girder hangs but does not fall. The Minister of Works was stunned, lest he delay Shangliang Jishi. Lei Develop was dressed in official clothes, carrying an iron axe in his sleeve, climbing on the beam frame, clicking a few axes, and the girder was completed. Shizu was overjoyed, and the scene was awarded to the director of the Construction Department of the Lei Development Department. Since then, the legend of "there is a Lu class on the top, a long class on the bottom, a purple micro according to the order, and the golden temple is sealed as an official" has not gone away. From the second year of Shunzhi (1645) to the third year of Xuanun (1911), the eight generations and ten members of the Lei family successively served as Qing royal architects for more than 260 years, and built a large number of palaces, temples, gardens and mausoleums for the royal family, known as "style lei". "Style Lei" left behind more than 20,000 pieces of extremely valuable architectural materials "Style Lei Tu File". Created 5 World Heritage Sites and 1 Memory of the World Heritage Site. The five World Heritage Sites are the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, the Chengde Summer Resort and the Qing Dynasty Tombs of the Ming and Qing Emperors; and the 1 World Memory Heritage Site is the "Style Leitu Archive".
In September 2016, when the Jiujiang Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission and the Yongxiu County Discipline Inspection Commission jointly produced the feature film "Jiangxi Yongxiu Style Lei: The Sincere Virtue Family Style that Does Not Fall from Generation to Generation, the Spirit of Craftsmanship", the choreographers took the developed road as a souvenir and ingested the lens. Because it is not known that the road name of the developed road is named by the county government to commemorate the development of Lei, it has been questioned by some citizens, saying that the development of the developed road is the meaning of prosperity and development, and it is far-fetched to say that it is a far-fetched commemoration of lei development. The reason is that at that time, the vast majority of people in Yongxiu County, including county leaders, did not know that Yongxiu County had a lei development, let alone what contributions "style lei" had made to Chinese architectural culture and world architectural culture.
Is the name of the developed road named in honor of Lei's development, or is it a prosperous development? Wang Tao, a teacher at the Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences, believes that it is necessary to clarify this problem and give the public an explanation.
On the morning of June 22, Teacher Wang Tao said in a WeChat message to me: "Elder Chen, I remember that you mentioned that Yongxiu's developed road was initially prosperous and developed, and later it was attached to Lei developed. This road was named in 2001, and if you have time to go to the Geographical Names Office to see the documents named at that time, there should be a reason for the naming at that time. "It's hard. Thank you. The annexation of this place name actually reflects the growing influence of Lei's development in regional cultures. Later, I would like to focus on the relationship between celebrities and geographical names. ”
On the afternoon of June 22, I went to the Yongxiu County Civil Affairs Bureau to find the director of the ChengHeshui Unit of the Geographical Names Unit. Chief Cheng went to the countryside to carry out demolition, and he said on the phone: "This was handled by the previous unit chief, and I don't know." It should mean both. "I asked him when he was coming back? He said it would be several days before he could return.
On the morning of June 30, I found the Yongxiu County Civil Affairs Bureau in the Yongxiu County Archives for the "Instructions on the Naming and Renaming of County Streets (Roads)" (Yong Min Wen [2004] No. 10) to the Yongxiu County People's Government on April 30, 2004, and suggested that Zhanqian Road be renamed Jianchang East Road; West 2nd Road was renamed Jianchang West Road. At the same time, the Yongxiu County People's Government found the "Notice on the Naming and Renaming of Streets and Alleys in the County Town" (Yongfu Zi [2004] No. 18) on June 25, 2004, which said that according to the historical evolution of our county and the opinions of the local people were widely solicited, after the 14th executive meeting of the 13th county government, it was decided to rename Zhanqian Road and West 2nd Road to Developed Road. The reasons for the change of name are not mentioned in the documents. On June 30, I sent photocopies of two documents to Mr. Wang Tao. At the same time, he said to look for it again to see if he could find the records of the executive meeting of the county government.
On the morning of July 5, I found the "Extract of the Minutes of the Executive Meeting of the Yongxiu County People's Government" issued by the Yongxiu County People's Government Office on June 25, 2004, and this record excerpt still has no reason to change the name of the developed road. I sent a copy of the document to Mr. Wang Tao. Teacher Wang Tao replied: "It may be that compared with other things, the naming of roads is not very important. "Only ask the person concerned." I said: "At that time, Ouyang Jie, the deputy county magistrate in charge, was later promoted to chairman of the Yongxiu County CPPCC Committee, and now he has retired to the second line. ”
I called Chairman Ouyang and asked her, "When you were the deputy county magistrate of Yongxiu County in 2004, the county government merged The Station Front Road and Xiyi Road in front of the railway station into one road and renamed it Developed Road. Is it to commemorate Ray? She said: "It's in honor of Lei. The suggestion was made by Chen Daoguo, the director of the county civil affairs bureau, who had been the secretary of Meitang Town and knew Lei Developed and 'Style Lei'. She briefly introduced the situation and contribution of Lei Developed and 'Style Lei', and the participants unanimously agreed with the proposal made by Director Chen Daoguo to merge Zhanqian Road and West Second Road into one road and rename it "Developed Road". I regret that I did not add a thunder word in front of the development at that time, directly called 'Lei Developed Road', which will not cause the public to question. ”
In the evening, I called Chen Daoguo, former vice chairman of the CppcC Yongxiu County Committee, and asked about the naming of the developed road. Chen Daoguo said: "I proposed merging Zhanqian Road and West Second Road into one road and renaming it Developed Road. I was the director of the county civil affairs bureau at the time and participated in the executive meeting of the county government. Before that, I had served as the party secretary of Meitang Town, and I knew that Lei Fengfa and 'Style Lei' were world celebrities. The railway station is the window of Yongxiu County, and changing the name of Zhanqian Road to Developed Road is conducive to enhancing the reputation of Yongxiu County. I asked him, "Why did the county civil affairs bureau's request to the county government suggest that Zhanqian Road be renamed Jianchang East Road?" Chen Daoguo said: "I am not at home, and the request for instructions was made by the deputy director and the office." At this point, I finally figured out the reason for the naming of the developed road. Chen Daoguo said: "Developed Road is indeed named in honor of Lei Dafa. At that time, the county government planned to erect a "road name explanatory board" next to the road. Because it cost thousands of yuan, the county government did not allocate funds, and the county civil affairs bureau did not set up the "Road Name Instruction Board". If the "Road Name Instruction Board" had been erected at that time, the public would not have doubted it. ”
