Details of former residence

Liu Yongfu's former residence, named "Sanxuantang", is located at No. 10, Bangui street, Qinzhou City (called xiananguan in ancient times). It was built in 1891. It is the most magnificent and complete architectural complex of Qing Dynasty in Qinzhou. It covers an area of more than 22700 square meters, with a construction area of more than 5600 square meters and 119 large and small buildings. In addition to the main block, there are a number of ancillary buildings, such as the head gate, the second gate, the warehouse, the study, the kitchen, the servant's room, the stable and so on, as well as facilities such as the stage, the garden, the vegetable garden, the fish pond, the sun farm and so on. To the east of Toumen River, there is a large plaque with striking characters of "Sanxuantang". Liu Yongfu made great contributions to Vietnam's aid and resistance to France in those years. He was granted the title of "three Xuan governor" by the king of Vietnam, and was in charge of the military affairs of Xuanguang, Xinghua and Shanxi provinces in Vietnam. The name of "Sanxuantang" is to commemorate this glorious history. The couplet on both sides of the gate is: "Zhiqi ancient Yue, paiyan Pengcheng". Into the head door, after more than 30 meters of longan fragrance corridor, is a two-story building of two doors. On the top of the door, there was a large gold plaque of "Jian Wei Di" with couplets of "en Cheng Bei que, Chun man Nan Tian". Inside the second gate is an open square. To the south of the square is a huge screen wall with the words "Qing Yun Li Ri" written in mellow and elegant handwriting.

The main seat is in the north of Zhaobi, three rooms wide and three deep. On the top of the front door, there is a straight plaque of "imperial flower plume" and a couplet of "deep rain and dew on the steps of heaven, and long Zhilan on the court". The gate is more than three meters high, with a two-story door. The outer layer is full of Southern characteristics of the "drag cage", and the inner layer is a few inches thick grid wooden door, which is very thick. Between the front and middle seats are the East and West Flower halls. In the West Hall are the names of party, government and army leaders at the central level, experts and scholars, and celebrities. In the east hall are the gifts of former Vietnamese revolutionary leader Huang Wenhuan, British ambassador to China, Mr. and Mrs. Calvin, as well as some international friends. Between the two halls is the patio. That is, the famous "anti bribery court". It is said that after the end of the Sino French war, Liu Yongfu brought back a rare booty from Vietnam - the hair of the French leader Li Weili, who was killed by the black flag army. When the French knew about it, they sent someone to San Xuan Tang with a lot of money to buy the hair at a high price. Liu Yongfu was not moved by the huge amount of money, so he gave a severe reprimand to the visitor in this courtyard, and the man had to go away.

After the "anti bribery court" is the central office. The hall is full of murals and wood carvings, including famous mountains and rivers, pavilions and pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, colorful phoenixes and cranes, shepherd boy woodcutter, fairy maiden, sages and heroes, military officers and so on. The middle hall is a symmetrical two-story building on the left and right, and Liu Yongfu's bedroom on the West. There is a one legged small tea table in the furniture, with three dog heads and dog claws arranged in the shape of pin. It turns out that Liu Yongfu's habit of keeping dogs is also reflected in the furniture.

The back seat is the ancestral hall, which is the tallest building in the complex. It is called "Yingying hall". This is the place where Liu Yongfu opposed the "Twenty-one principles" and volunteered to resist Japan. In 1915, Yuan Shikai accepted Japan's "21 articles" aimed at destroying China. When Liu Yongfu heard the news, he was filled with indignation and immediately informed all his family members and tutors to gather in his ancestral hall, "resist the power of Beiting, and offer to fight." He also said that if Japan tries to be fierce, he is willing to take the "old man" of 79 years old as the vanguard and fight to the death with the enemy.

There are 10 exhibition rooms in the back seat, covering an area of more than 1000 square meters. They are divided into three parts: the general situation of the Sino French war, the anti French struggle of the black flag Army (Liu Yongfu's headquarters) and the anti French struggle of the cuijun Army (Feng Zicai's headquarters). The main exhibits are: the tablet of Gaofeng presented to Liu Yongfu's father by Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty and si de Di of Vietnam; a granary with an area of 1500 square meters juxtaposed between Liu Yong and the main seat, which is called "Jimin granary" by the masses. There are 10 barns in a row, with a construction area of more than 300 square meters. This is Liu Yongfu. At the end of the west side of the main block in the year of disaster, there is a row of bungalows, which is Liu Yongfu's study.

Ningwu Manor

brief introduction

In 1914, after Lu Rongting, who returned to his hometown, built Jiangdi and Yexiu gardens in Wuming County, he built "Ningwu Manor" in order to remote control the political situation of Guangxi in his hometown (named after "Ningwu general" awarded by Yuan Shikai). At that time, Lu Rongting invited well-known geographers from inside and outside the province to gather in Wuming for on-the-spot investigation and demonstration, and determined that the valley and flat land near his father's cemetery and by the Nanliujiang River (now Wuming River) was a "auspicious place" for emperors. Therefore, Lu Rongting bought nearly 50 mu of "auspicious land" from others and ordered the construction of "Ningwu Manor". After completion, it is called "the first manor in Guangxi".

Ningwuzhuang is located on the right bank of Wuming River, about 150 meters away from the river. The manor is located in the West and faces the East. It is slightly rectangular, and is divided into two areas. The inner district is close to the river. There is a spacious, bright and magnificent mansion. It is an important place for Lu Rongting to live and deal with military and political affairs. The gate is often guarded by armed guards and no one is allowed to come near. On the right side of the mansion, a majestic and solemn temple is built. On the door of the temple, Lu Rongting wrote "Lu's family temple", which is read from right to left. It is the "holy land" for Lu Rongting to worship ancestors and gods. He put the memorial tablets of his ancestors here for sacrifice, and made himself a bust of four and a half feet high. The couplets on the left and right sides read: "it's better to meet the commander with Qi Zhongying, and take the whole group as our people.".

In front of the mansion and the family temple, there is a piece of ash about two acres wide
