Introduction to scenic spots

Chongde hall was built by Jiangxi rich Pei Shoulu in 1884. It is a two-story courtyard in the south. In the Qing Dynasty, river transportation was still the main artery of transportation. Fenghuang, located in the Yuanshui River Basin, was the gateway node connecting the southwest and the east of China. Therefore, there were both garrisons and many foreign businessmen doing business here. Among them, Jiangxi people accounted for a large proportion. It is said that most of Fenghuang people today are mixed blood of Jiangxi people and local Tujia and Miao people. Shen Congwen and Huang Yongyu are the descendants of Han Miao intermarriage, and Chen Yinke is also from Jiangxi. To put it more broadly, a considerable number of Hunan people are of Jiangxi origin. According to historical records, the nine generations of Mao Zedong's ancestors also moved to Hunan from Jiangxi. There is a source for Hunan to call Jiangxi an old watch.

So it's no surprise that Jiangxi people build houses in Fenghuang.

This lane in the ancient city of Phoenix is called "shijianong". On the right hand side of the lane, which is a hundred meters away, is "Chongde hall". The words on the lanterns hanging in the lane have shown this.

The gate and alley of "Chongde hall" are very narrow. You can't go back to the distance to take a panoramic picture. You can only take a picture obliquely.

There is a TV set in front of the shop opposite "Chongde hall", which is broadcasting the Beijing Olympic Games. The welcome lady was very engaged.

Tribute yuan, that Pei Shoulu (perhaps his descendants) is a scholar.

To explain briefly, the imperial examination in China is roughly Level 3. The scholar who gets the lowest level is called scholar, the second level is called Juren, and the third level is called Jinshi. Among them, the first level is champion, the second level is Bangyan, and the third level is Tanhua. The specific subdivision of different dynasties will be different, but in general, it is the above.

In the imperial examination system of the Qing Dynasty, after passing the lower level examination, scholars (known as "students") could be promoted to study in the "Imperial Academy of the capital", the highest institution of learning in the country. Because these people were students who "contributed to the imperial court", they were called Gongsheng. The number of Gongsheng is very small. For a state or county, there is only one Gongsheng at a time, so it is also the first place of the state or county. Therefore, it is called "Gongyuan (" Yuan "means first)".

Now there are many scholars, and few of them can build a house like "Chongde hall" after they get rich. Otherwise, they will hang a plaque like "master's degree" and "doctor's degree".

There are many kinds of plaques in "Chongde hall", such as "pure filial piety" and "Bingxin Baijie" in the above photos, which are nothing but to show that the host is filial and noble. It is estimated that there are hundreds of such plaques in "Chongde hall". They are all praises of virtue, and they are also presented by sacred figures from all sides. Rich people, who knows the praise is true or false, money can make the ghost push the mill, get a few plaques to show the present and future generations is very easy. But when I met the nihilist believers like me, what I saw in my eyes was that these characters were well written, neat and powerful, calligraphy works, others were dubious, ho ho ho.

Lingde kongzhao means: your virtue is known all over the world and shine. The plaque of "Lingde kongzhao" has been seen in some other places. Now we put it another way: Comrade XX's noble behavior moved China and the world.

Shude is always pregnant, and the women in this family are also good, virtuous and virtuous. This, I believe, is the mother, wife and daughter of the old age.

There are a lot of daily necessities in it. These are shoes. It's not good to wear them for sports. They will fall off as soon as they run.

The wood carvings in "Chongde hall" are very attractive and there are many. Here are just a few. The content of this piece of sculpture is: blessing and longevity are on the top, blessing the family as good as Donghai and longevity.

The table is very heavy, the wood is strong, and the workmanship is very fine, which is absolutely invisible in the current furniture market.

Judging from the number of playthings, "Chongde hall" is the most worth seeing compared with the former residences and old houses of other celebrities in Fenghuang ancient city. However, if Chen Yinke, Shen Congwen and Huang Yongyu can make me think about the peak of Chinese literature, the river of history and the style of art, if Chen Yinke stands for "genius", Shen Congwen stands for "literary talent", and Huang Yongyu stands for "eccentric talent"“ The name "Pei Shoulu" reminds me of which event in Chinese politics and culture? No, What does he represent in China? "Money"? I'm kidding! There are a lot of scholars in China. Chen Yinke belongs to the category of once-in-a-thousand-years, and there are many people who write books in China. Shen Congwen belongs to the category of rare in a hundred years, and there are many people who engage in art in China. Huang Yongyu belongs to the category of rare. The Chinese are very poor, but there are also many rich people. However, "Pei Shoulu" does not belong to the category of rich China.

This just confirms Su Shi's saying: "Fu Tai is not enough to rely on for a long time, especially in the loss of personnel, who go and come suddenly! Or if you want to boast of the world and be self-sufficient, you will pass away. The rest of the world depends on those who do not care about the survival of Taiwan. " In the same way, what can make people immortal is never the size, value and firmness of a house.
