Jiadi Lane

"You, kitchen, righteousness, prosperity, and armor" summed up the essence of the ancient houses in Chaozhou. These streets and alleys are located in the central and southern part of the ancient city. They are arranged side by side. They are the places where officials and merchants of Chaozhou City lived in ancient times. Up to now, they still retain the pattern of streets and alleys of Ming and Qing Dynasties and a large number of ancient dwellings. The first lane is the essence of the essence. As the name suggests, it can be seen from the lane name "Jia Di". Jiadi lane, which is less than 200 meters long, has dozens of Ming and Qing Dynasty houses. Walking through them, you can feel the back of time, touch the breath of ancient Chaozhou people's life, and savor the sound of history. Therefore, these streets and alleys have become a treasure house for the study of ancient Chaozhou society, architectural art and folk customs. " Since the Southern Song Dynasty, with the southward movement of the political center and the expansion of the business district of Chaozhou City, the southern part of the ancient city has become a place where Chaozhou officials and merchants live together. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the prosperous Chaozhou City attracted many wealthy businessmen from Chaozhou government to build houses and gardens here, which made the architecture, culture, art and folk customs here accumulate the boundless splendor of the ancient city in a strong merchant sentiment. Jiadi lane has the name of "Jiadi" because of its most luxurious style. You see, "dafudi", "zizhengdi" and "Confucianist Di" are quite grand plaques, which show the glorious family history and noble status of the owner of the big house. These ancient dwellings with different styles have accumulated the profound traditional culture of the ancient city and recorded the endless customs of the ancient city. The Rao house at the head of Jiadi lane is said to be a scholarly family. The name of the plaque is "semi stable", and the modest and elegant style of the host is still in front of us. There is a small garden called "half garden". From an old photo taken more than 50 years ago, it can be seen that although the area of the garden is small, it is exquisitely constructed, well arranged, and the simple and quiet environment sets off the noble and elegant character of the host. Engineer Lu Shuxiong: "this building has its own characteristics. In terms of architectural style, it belongs to the Chinese and Western architectural style. There are many details in it, which are worth studying in terms of architectural practice. For example, traditional porcelain windows are used on the facade of the external wall, and well cylinder hurdles are also used. The gate is also very traditional Chinese concave porch, concave gate stone frame, painted wooden door; and the outer frame of the gate is very simple Decoration is a popular European Baroque decoration method at that time. From the perspective of architectural layout, it is still the traditional Chinese layout, that is, the layout of one living room and two rooms. The main structure adopts the relatively advanced western method at that time, that is, the reinforced concrete method now. The interior layout and facade decoration still retain some practices of the local authentic wooden (flashing) doors, wooden windows and wooden structures. The architectural decoration materials are here Is the use of sand washing techniques (batch file). There were some fashionable decorations on the wall (with fountain) and some new things about towers and airplanes. It can be seen that the owners at that time had culture, knowledge and broad vision. " "The rockery built before looks very good now. The water pipe is decorated with monkeys and squirrels, which can still be seen now. In the past, there were animals and flowers on this wall. It seems simple here, but this shape (Design) can be worn around, and children (hide and seek) can drill around. " The vicissitudes of life make everything in the big room old and mottled, but it has endless charm. Among them, a kind of nostalgia arises spontaneously. It's no wonder that the descendants of the house are still guarding the old house and unwilling to move away. According to the owner, the descendants of Rao's house have scattered all over the country, and some have settled abroad, but they have inherited the tradition of respecting culture and education from their ancestors. Those who live outside come back to the old house every year. Perhaps, the aura of the old house and the strong scholarly atmosphere are the foundation of their progress.
