Development history

Xia Tongshan's hanlindi is located in guanhou street, Zhongshi, with a small scale. Fortunately, it has complete buildings. After renovation, it has become a humanistic landscape integrating traditional dwellings and gardens, from which visitors can enjoy the life of the wealthy families in Jiangnan Town in the late Qing Dynasty. Xiajiahanlin was originally a common folk house, occupying a small area. After Xia Tongshan appointed the Hanlin and was awarded the plaque of "Hanlin Di", it was able to expand and take on a small scale. About the Xia family and Hanlin Di, it is a story of "learning makes you an official" and therefore Rongzong Yaoli, but it is a fact in the history of Wuzhen, and it is also the pride of the people.

The story of Xia Tongshan's Vindication: in 1873, Zhejiang Province witnessed the "Yang (Naiwu) ge (pakchoi) unjust case", which resulted in seven cases at the provincial, government and county levels. The next year, Yang's wife and sister went to the capital to sue for redress. Xia Tongshan, together with 28 officials, sent a joint letter to the Ministry of criminal justice for review, which was approved by Empress Dowager Cixi. Two years later, the truth of Yang Ge's unjust case came to light. Some of the dozens of corrupt officials involved in the unjust case were dismissed, and some were investigated and dealt with. Wuzhen is Xia Tongshan's grandmother's home. His reading relies entirely on the classics collected by his grandfather. Therefore, when he became a scholar and appointed the Hanlin in 1856, he hung the plaque of "Hanlin Di" on the hall of his grandmother's home. As Xia Tongshan was a senior official and a key figure, he was famous in Jiangnan for a time.

It is said that after Yang Ge's unjust case was brought to justice, Prince Yu was very curious. A little woman had to remove dozens of Qing Dynasty officials and asked the Ministry of punishment to bring cabbage for face-to-face investigation. Although the Chinese cabbage's face was haggard, it was hard to hide its elegant demeanor. Prince Yu sympathized with her and asked her if she had any request. Then Chinese cabbage expressed her wish in prison: who will clean up my grievances and be willing to serve him all his life. This is difficult for Prince Yu, because the emperor has a decree that the cabbage should enter the nunnery for the rest of his life. Prince Yu thought about it for a moment, and then he had an idea of having the best of both worlds: let the cabbage go to Wuzhen Hanlin to wait on Xia Tongshan's mother for three months, but it's impossible to see the sun coming and going. Three months later, he entered the nunnery and spent the rest of his life. There is a windowless house in dongzha Hanlin, Wuzhen. The back door is connected with the corridor. It was built for the cabbage to come and go without seeing the sun.

The water diversion pier is outside the north gate of Wuzhen town and east of the intersection of Chexi, Lanxi and hengjinggang. It is worthy of the name. At first, there were no pavilions. It was only a high mound in the water. The mound was said to be the "Fengshui" facility in the early years. It is located at the confluence of the three rivers and the boundary between the two provinces, three prefectures and seven counties, so its geographical location is very important.

Since the Ming Dynasty, it has been regarded as a town "to consolidate the atmosphere". Facing it from east to west is Taishi bridge. Under the bridge is the exit of Hengjing port. Taking Hengjing port as the boundary river, the north of the bridge is the ground of Jiangsu Province, and the territory is Wujiang County under the jurisdiction of Suzhou city. Langxitang along the north, Yidong there is a water separated, Hebei is Jiaxing suburb of Jiaxing City. Before 1950, Wuzhen was bounded by Chexi, which belonged to Tongxiang in the East and Wuxing County under the jurisdiction of Huzhou City in the West.

After the regional and architectural changes, now the two provinces and three prefectures (cities) remain the same. The county has changed from seven counties to four counties, namely Wujiang, Jiaxing and Wuxing (now called Lianshi), Tongxiang.

At the confluence of the three rivers, the water surface is open, the current is fast, the drought does not dry up, and the wind surges. It has always been a dangerous and important place for sailing. There is no textual research on the year when the mound began. According to reports, "in the heyday of the Song Dynasty, there was a Luoxing at Shuikou", indicating navigation. In the early years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1573), Luo Dou, Tongzhi, listened to the handout of "Mr. Feng Shui" and thought that "this place is the end of the two towns, so it is necessary to set up barriers to consolidate the atmosphere.". So he advocated building a pavilion on the pier for the portrait of Wenchang king. Wenchangjun, also known as wenchangxing, is the God who dominates the world's fame and wealth, and the idol of those who are committed to studying and becoming officials. Luo douguan's voice is good, which is more in line with the wishes of the people of the two towns, and the silver building materials are prepared quickly. The old mound was "slightly expanded to the East, built a stone port, surrounded by stone railings" and "the statue of King Xiao Long". King Xiao Long was in charge of inland rivers, lakes and berthing water, and he could make ships safe. It can be inferred that the pavilion was built on the pier at that time. It was completed in June of the ninth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty. Later, Tongzhi Quan tingxun, Yu Kun, and Xu Ruze, deputy governor of the constitution, all advocated donating money for repair. These local officials regarded the maintenance of Fenshui pier as a good thing for the benefit of the people. In 1919, Xu Guannan proposed to build the Shousheng pagoda and rebuilt the Fenshui pier. Lu xuepu and other scholars helped to build it.

Main attractions

The renovated Hanlin chapter basically follows the original pattern and can be divided into three parts.

The middle part is the main axis, three in three. There is a pair of marble rolling stones in front of the gate, which shows that the Xia family is extraordinary. At the first door of the entrance hall, we can see that there is a horizontal "top building" on the lintel, that is, five carved short wood. The threshold is extremely high, so it is not easy to cross, but the middle section can be removed, which is called "de threshold". Usually do not open the main door, there are two side doors in and out. Further inside is the third gate, the head wall gate, which is a small stone patio. This is the first step. Across the patio is the main hall for the second entrance. The main hall is a flat hall. On the beam are two big red lacquer boxes with imperial edicts. In the back immediately behind the two is the building, the wall is connected by a channel. This kind of structure is rarely seen in other places, probably due to the foundation narrowing. The second wall door is the back hall of the third entrance.

East Wing two into two, a kitchen, courtyard, mediocre style, is the residence of the next generation.

In the west wing, there are three flower halls juxtaposed with the foyer, also known as "Jieguan hall", which are beautifully decorated. After passing the flower hall and entering a courtyard, there are rockeries and pools. When they are planted, the flowers and trees are small, elegant and lovely. This is "Xiao's garden".
