Structure of former residence

position

Baguitang is located at No.82 Qingguo lane. The raw coal is one of the "eight Tang houses" in Ming Dynasty, covering an area of 3.6 mu. Later, it is Qu's house, which is divided into East and West courtyards. There are more than 80 houses, including sedan hall, hall and Jinglou (Tianxiang Lou). Qiubai was born in the west room of Tianxiang Lou on January 29, 1899.

gate

On both sides of the black lacquer gate, there is a drum stone on each side, and the relief of three lions playing ball is carved on it, which shows the nobility and auspiciousness of this big family. Above the black lacquer gate, a white seal script plaque of "the ancestral hall of Qu family in the west of the city" is suspended. The former residence is divided into East and West courtyards, each of which is divided into four parts. In the middle row of partition walls, there are corridors and doors connected with each other. The West courtyard is the main room. It was originally a hall for sacrifice. It is solemn and mysterious. Now it is a multifunctional hall. The east courtyard is a wing room. It is the auxiliary room where the clansmen and the servants of the ancestral temple lived and rested. Qu Qiubai's family lived in the east courtyard from 1912 to 1916. More than 100 pieces of furniture and articles were purchased or imitated according to the format at that time, and displayed as they were.

ancestral hall

Entering the second entrance of the ancestral hall, in front of the screen of "I am the first swallow in the south of the Yangtze River, holding the cloud top in spring", there is an ancient bronze plaster statue of Qu Qiubai, with vigorous posture and beautiful expression. It shows the image of a young, elegant and scholarly revolutionary. Compared with the bronze sculpture in the memorial hall, although it is made by the sculptor Tong Taigang, its style is quite different.

Main hall

Around the screen, the third entrance is the main hall of the ancestral hall. It was in this hall that Qu's people offered sacrifices in spring and autumn or offered sacrifices for funerals. "Xigui" and "zhejie" were inscribed on the forehead of the two chamber doors of the hall, admonishing the clansmen to learn the family law and abide by the clan rules.

Through this big round gate is the wing room of the ancestral hall east courtyard. The fourth entrance of the wing room is the room shared by Qiu Bai's younger brothers and sisters. On the wall are old photos of three younger brothers and sisters: the elder sister Qu Yiqun on the left, the second younger brother Qu Yunbai in the middle, and the third younger brother Qu Jingbai on the right. Qu Jingbai, a staunch communist party member, joined the revolutionary work in the Soviet Union with Qiu Bai. He suddenly disappeared because he opposed Wang Ming's conspiracy to create a "Jiangsu Zhejiang fellow townspeople's Association". In fact, he was murdered. The one separated from the back is Qu Qiubai's bedroom and study. Young Qiu Bai often reviews his lessons and discusses current affairs with Yang Muzhi and Zhang Tailei. Qu Qiubai likes music, especially the flute. You see, there is a copper flute hanging by the window lattice. If you listen to it, you may still hear the sad and quiet sound of the flute!

Halls and aisles

Between the fourth and third entrance of the wing room is the hall and the aisle. The hall was used as Qiu Bai's father's small study. Qu Qiye, who had no way to manage his family but had a preference for art, often studied ink and painted on this desk. Later, he became a famous artist. Qu Qiubai's painting techniques were taught by his father.

bedroom

The third entrance of the wing room is a large room, which is divided into two parts by the screen. The second half is the bedroom of Qiubai's parents and infant brother Jianbai. It was here that Qiubai's mother took poison to commit suicide after drinking red firewood head and soaking tiger bone wine. Because there was no money for burial, the coffin also existed here for many years. Qu Qiubai wrote such a poem: "crying mother poem":

When you are in poverty, you are not in poverty, but when you are in poverty, you are in tears.

Hunger and cold this day nobody tube, fell on the body of love son before the spirit. The front half serves as a living room. Although Qu Qiubai's ancestral hall is a lonely one, his family is a family of officials, a scholar's younger brother, and even poor and poor. His appearance still needs to be supported, and his living room needs to be provided. However, at this time, few guests come to the door, and most of them come to collect debts.

courtyard

Out of the living room is the courtyard of the ancestral hall. All around the corridor, the sky is full of sunlight and clouds. There is an ancient well in the middle of the stone fence. The water color is clear and deep as a mirror, which is full of Jiangnan style. Qu Qiubai grew up drinking this well water. When he was 13 years old, he wrote the poem white chrysanthemum

This year, the flowers are in full bloom, so it is suitable to plant white jade pots.

Only because the autumn light, no place to find frost marks.

By embedding the words "autumn, white and frost" in his name in the poem, we can see his intelligence and talent.

On the lintel of the second wing in front of the patio is inscribed with the four words "the old virtues of the world". It is intended to remind future generations that they should not forget the virtues of the emperor and their ancestors, and that they should be filial sons and virtuous grandchildren who are loyal to the Emperor, patriotic and glorious.

Porter

The front entrance turned out to be the porter of the wing room. At that time, Qiubai used to make kitchens, stoves and cooking utensils in the same way, which can trigger our imagination of Qiubai's life. There is a small side door on the front wall of the gatehouse, which is a convenient door for people to go in and out at ordinary times. In 1912, red lanterns were hung at the door of every household to celebrate the Double Tenth Festival, but Qu Qiubai hung a white lantern with the word "national mourning" in front of his own door. That small white lantern, in a piece of whitewashed red lanterns, is like a white chrysanthemum, which is proud of frost, and it is bright until dawn.

Qu Qiubai's former residence includes the Tianxiang building of Bagui hall, where he was born, and the ancestral hall of Qu family, which was moved to the west of the city in 1912. The ancestral hall was built by Qu Gengfu, uncle Qiubai and Hubei governor in the late Qing Dynasty.

Qu's ancestral hall covers an area of more than one mu, with East and West courtyards. The West courtyard used to store ancestral tablets, and the east courtyard is Qiubai's home. In 1985, Qu Qiubai memorial hall was restored and opened to the public.

Exhibition hall

The exhibition hall displays Qu Qiubai's life history and heroic deeds.

Part one

Qu Qiubai was born in Changzhou in 1899, and died for the revolution in Changting, Fujian Province in 1935. He lived and struggled in this world for 36 years. He grew from a weak scholar to a leader and cultural giant of the Communist Party of China, leaving more than 5 million words of works. His life is brilliant, his contribution is huge, his personality is noble, and at the same time, he is full of hardships, twists and turns. The goal that he pursued and struggled for all his life is to "open up a bright road for all of us", realize the "humanization of communism", and turn the dark, evil, semi colonial and semi feudal old China into a bright and beautiful socialist new China. History is just. In 1985, Comrade Yang Shangkun, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, gave a speech to Qu Qiubai
