Champion square

Outside the east gate of Xinghua City, Taizhou, there is a road of Ming and Qing Dynasties, which was named Tongtai in ancient times. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has been known as Xinghua Zhuangyuan square. Slightly to the East, there is a number one lane stretching northward, where Li Chunfang, the number one scholar in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, lived in his early years. Li Chunfang, a young man, was diligent and eager to learn. He studied alone in the temple of earth God in shenghuli. The ancestral hall has three rooms, three into two patios, and later into quietness. Local chronicles call this place "the reading place of Li Chunfang, Ming Shaoshi". At the age of 21, Li Chunfang took the mid-term exam and studied hard for another 15 years to become the number one scholar. In the 25th year of Jiajing, Li Chunfang went to Chunwei again. The night before he left, he stayed alone in the ancestral temple where he studied as a teenager. He dreamed that the rabbit was a deer, and he hit him on the head. When he woke up, he felt confident. Then he went back to his ancestral home Jurong to worship his ancestors, stayed in Xiao temple at night, and left poems in the wall of the monk's room. Every year, the mountain temple heard the bell, and the horse remembered Yuangong in the west wind. It must keep jade belts every day, and the poem could not be written in a sarong. The next year, Li Chunfang won the first prize. The stone memorial archway at the head of Zhuangyuan lane was built in the 26th year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty with single door and double columns. In the 44th year of Jiajing period, Li Chunfang went to the Ministry of rites as a minister, the crown prince and the imperial concubine, and the Bachelor of wuyingdian. On January 5, 2009, Zhuangyuanfang was restored in Xinghua City, Taizhou.

brief introduction

In Renmin South Road, there is a street called "Zhuangyuanfang". In the past, it was famous for producing embroidered costumes, but now it sells all kinds of decorations and playthings. Speaking of the number one scholar's Square, people think it has something to do with the number one scholar's Lun Wenxu. During the Ming Dynasty, there was a "Zhu Yisheng" gold and silver jewelry shop in the street. When it opened, the signboard almost couldn't be put up. When Lun Wenxu came here, his misfortune turned into good. Since then, the jewelry business of "Zhu Yisheng" has been very prosperous. Later, people made up a story called "Zhuangyuanfang and Zhu Yisheng". In fact, the street name of "Zhuangyuanfang" was opened in the Yuan Dynasty. The real reason is to commemorate Zhang xinsun, the number one scholar in the late Song Dynasty. The Zhuangyuanfang is 260 meters long, 5-7 meters wide and only 2 meters narrow. There are 40 shops, 12 shopping malls and 540 stalls in the street. According to statistics, the daily flow of more than ten thousand people, holidays is a crowd. However, in the first two years, there were many sundries in the street, the road was not smooth, there were many road occupation businesses, and the fire-fighting facilities were not perfect. There was no fire hydrant in the whole street, which caused serious potential safety hazards.

history

Zhang Xusun was born in 1225 in Shunde, Guangdong Province. He studied hard since childhood and was known as a child prodigy when he was 12 years old. At the age of 15, he was at the top of the provincial examination. After the mid-term examination, he went to Beijing for the imperial examination. In the imperial examination policy, he proposed that "the country should take the people as the vein", suggested that the emperor should have "benevolence of loving the people", and proposed that corrupt officials should be severely punished to improve people's livelihood. At that time, he was quite insightful. Therefore, Zhang xinsun won the first place. Emperor duzong of the Southern Song Dynasty highly praised this "dianshice" and wrote poems to praise this new scholar.

At that time, the treacherous minister Jia Sidao was in power. In order to cultivate his power, he wooed Zhang Xusun and asked him to repay his kindness. But Zhang and sun didn't even hum half a word of "thanks.". He was upright, not relying on power and power, admired by the government and the opposition, but rejected by treacherous officials. Zhang and sun had to stay at home.

In 1267 A.D., Yuan soldiers went south, and the Southern Song Dynasty regime retreated to Guangdong. At this time, Zhang Xun and sun, who were living in leisure, could not sit still. He called on the people to arm themselves against the Yuan Dynasty. Duanzong of Song Dynasty issued an imperial edict to praise him and entrusted him with military and political responsibilities. Zhang sun was ordered to reorganize the army, led the army to fight with Yuan soldiers, and finally recovered Guangzhou. At the same time, Wen Tianxiang also recovered Meizhou, and the military power of the Southern Song Dynasty was greatly strengthened.

Half a year later, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty made a comeback and pressed the border heavily. Zhang Xun and sun, fearless in the face of danger, commanded two thousand warships to launch a fierce battle with the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty on the Pearl River. As a result, they were outnumbered, so he had to retreat to the city. In the fierce battle to defend Guangzhou City, Zhang xinsun took the lead. In order to protect the people of Guangzhou from the massacre of Yuan soldiers, Zhang xinsun would rather surrender himself to make up for the capture, so Guangzhou did not suffer the disaster of slaughtering the city. On the way to Beijing escorted by Yuan soldiers, Zhang sun angrily committed suicide in Dayuling.

Although there has been controversy about Zhang xinsun's action of "descending from the city" in history, the people of Guangzhou set up the number one memorial archway for Zhang xinsun's former residence. The street "taitongli" where he originally lived was renamed "number one memorial archway". His cemetery is in Sanyuanli, which is called "number one tomb". Later generations have a poem praising Zhang Xusun: "there is no difference between Zhao Jiaguo and Yu Ling in changing his mind. The temple has a long history of worship, and its reputation has been handed down to later generations. "

Reconstruction project

At the end of "one small change in one year" and the start of "one medium change in three years", more than 40 people occupied the street stalls, illegal buildings and irregular anti-theft nets were removed. According to the planning of highlighting the historical and cultural background, continuing the traditional commercial civilization, highlighting the cultural characteristics of Lingnan, and reshaping the advantages of the ancient city's commercial capital, the street pavement, drainage ditches, fire-fighting facilities and decoration were re paved Build "three lines" to make all the facades of the buildings in the whole street

We need to redo the decoration and add lighting system. At the same time, in order to highlight the historical, cultural and traditional characteristics of Zhuangyuanfang, a memorial archway reflecting Lingnan history and culture and Song Dynasty architectural style was built at the East and West entrances of Renmin Road and Tiancheng Road, and master Guan Shanyue was invited to inscribe the plaque. In the people's southwest exit near the memorial archway, the establishment of the number one figure and the number one turtle sculpture. The glass tile corridor with Lingnan historical and cultural characteristics is built on both sides of the street to unify the shop signboard style and further enrich the cultural connotation of the professional Street. At the same time, we have strengthened the management of the professional Street, established the management center and professional Street Industry Association of Zhuangyuanfang professional Street, set up the voluntary public security fire brigade, and set up the closed-circuit television monitoring system and broadcasting system.

Nearly 4 million yuan has been invested in the reconstruction project of Zhuangyuanfang, which makes Zhuangyuanfang a professional Street for students' cultural goods with the characteristics of history, culture, tourism, leisure shopping and management. It makes the old streets glow with new vitality and explores a new way for the reconstruction of the old streets in the old urban area.

present situation

Most of the passenger flow of Zhuangyuanfang comes from teenagers. The reason is that it is adjacent to the thirteen lines of Guangzhou, forming a clothing wholesale market, which mainly wholesales middle and low-grade T-shirts and jeans. Teenagers are always attracted by the cheap clothes here. The geographical location is also very superior, because it is only 200 meters away from the famous Shangxiajiu pedestrian street

history

At the end of the Song Dynasty, an official named Zhang Zhensun was demoted to Guangzhou for offending treacherous officials. One day, when the yuan army came to attack Guangzhou, Zhang Zhensun knew that he could not be defeated, so in order to protect the people in the city, he opened the city and surrendered. He committed suicide on the way to escort. At that time, he was only 44 years old.
