There are "exhibition of the life and achievements of Mr. Han Guojun", "selected exhibition of cultural relics in collection", "site of joint anti Japanese forum", "former residence of Mr. Han Guojun", "xihuating hall where Chen Yi meets with Han Guojun", etc.

Development history

Haian Museum, according to Han Guojun's yongyilu, the third year of Daoguang reign in the Qing Dynasty (1823), Han Fengxiang, Han Guojun's grandfather, wanted to help those who had no money and could not raise money from others, so he demolished three rooms of his main house to get rice and wheat to relieve the hungry people. At one time, the Han family was full. Later, Han Xipeng, the father of Han Guojun, built some halls and houses from outside to inside. In 1863, his father died and his family was in a state of decline. He was prepared to build a new house to pay off his debt. The existing hall and house were also used to pay off his debt. In 1906, Mr. Han Guojun was 50 years old. When he came to the general office of Hebei Mining Bureau and the negotiation Bureau, he went back to Li on leave and rebuilt his ancestral house. It was more than 80 years since his grandfather demolished the house. According to the chronicle of Zhisou compiled by Han Guojun, Han Guojun returned to Li on the ninth day of that month after returning from Japan on the third day of December in the thirty first year of Guangxu, and went to Henan on the 18th of April in the thirty second year of Guangxu. The main building of the former residence of Han Guojun was built during this period.

The former residence of Mr. Han Guojun, a famous patriot and Democrat and the governor of Jiangsu Province in the Republic of China, is located on the west side of North Lujia lane, Chengdong street, Hai'an city. He is called "Han mansion" in Li.

architectural composition

The former residence faces south, and is a complete group of quadrangle houses. In front of the gate is the granite slate Street donated by Dong men of Hai'an town in 1899. The street gate building is dignified and dignified, with 9 hollow bricks carved out of the sky, the official blessing, the birthday of the Ma Gu, and the deer's Wutong. On both sides of the gate are a pair of white rectangular stone drums carved with "dark Eight Immortals" and "lion playing ball" patterns. On the left and right sides of the gate walls are inlaid with white marble signs of "Jiangsu cultural relics protection unit - site of the joint anti Japanese forum" (Nantong Municipal people's Government) and "Hai'an County Museum" (titled by the late national famous calligrapher Wang Gezhen). Across the 2-foot-high threshold, there is a picture of "three halberds rising from the bottle" on the floor of the hall. With the implied meaning, I wish the host a prosperous official career and a three-level promotion. Looking up, the wooden carving "two dragons playing with pearls" on the door frame stretches, and the plaque of "the former residence of Mr. Han Guojun" inscribed by general Zhang Aiping, former Minister of national defense and commander of the fourth division of the New Fourth Army, hangs on the top of the screen door. When you open the screen door of the hall, a bronze like bust of Mr. Han Guojun from Wang Dao, a craftsman of Nantong, comes into view. Mr. Han's solemn and upright spirit of resisting the enemy is fully displayed. The statue is even more magnificent in the shade of green pines and cypresses. Behind the statue, a high polished brick wall is engraved with a huge brick carving "the painting of pine and crane" by Xu Chunrong, a famous craftsman of Hai'an. A pair of lifelike crane, proud of the pine above, its exquisite craftsmanship is amazing.

The two east faces, one circular Shigu, except for the relative carving of "Three Lions opera Hydrangea", the left side of the Shigu base is "left Wutong" and right carved "Phoenix peony". Above the gate tower, two brick carvings of "Number One Scholar" and three brick carvings of "Fu, Lu and Shou" make the decoration of the second gate tower more elegant. The walls of the gate building are extremely smooth and the cracks are almost seamless. I don't know which craftsman made them. Their skills are admired by later generations.

Standing at the gate of the second gate and looking to the west, the dark green glazed windows are lined with Chimonanthus praecox, Tianzhu, five needle pine and Taihu Lake stone, which form a natural picture of "three friends in cold and old age". It is elegant and elegant, but also leads to a kind of hazy poetry, giving people endless reverie. Chen Yi, a generation of Confucian general, and his wife Zhang Qian, when they stayed in xihuating at the invitation of Han Guojun in November 1940, expressed the pride of the Eighth Route Army's southward troops meeting with the New Fourth Army under this window, and chanted the "several people in the ten-year war, see their peers and Ma GUI" as a gift to Comrade Liu Shaoqi and Huang Kecheng. Who is the branch of Jianghuai river? Red flag flying all over the sky in October.

After entering the second gate, people suddenly realize that the whole former residence extends from north to south along a central axis, forming a four row residential community of photo hall, main hall, hall and main room, and between each house is a group of poetic and picturesque architectural groups with curved corridors and windows. They are transparent and open, starting from and connecting with each other, harmonious and orderly, and harmonious and orderly. They not only meet the needs of the spirit of wimps' etiquette and law, but also embody the refined, solemn and profound aesthetic taste of the host from the profound architectural culture.

There is an exhibition of Mr. Han Guojun's life and achievements in the hall. It introduces in detail the life of Han Guojun, a famous patriot who was promoted by literati, started as a county magistrate, took charge of the provincial government, and turned into a city people's common admiration and respected by the state. Among the exhibits are: Rugao popular daily on October 10, 1915, which published the news of Han Guojun's resignation from Anhui Province; elegiac couplets written by Liu Shaoqi and Chen Yi for the death of Han Guojun; Xinhua Daily (Chongqing Edition) on February 4, 1911, which published the telegram of condolence from Chiang Kai Shek; and hailing series, an ancient book series compiled by Han Guojun, which collected 16 works of song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, The book includes the revised and compiled biography of Zhang Shicheng, the king of Wu, the collected letters of friends with Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yuanpei, Huang Yanpei, Zhang Jian and other celebrities, as well as the pictures, poems and Fu that show Han Guojun's noble spirit of dying rather than giving up in the face of Japanese invaders.

Haian Museum

On the screen door of the main hall is hung the huge traditional Chinese painting nave of "Chen Yi meets Han Zishi", painted by Zhang Huai, former vice president of Nantong traditional Chinese Painting Academy. The couplet was written by Zhong Zhenzi, a famous calligrapher. There are 24 palace lanterns hanging under the elegant rolling shed and the dignified and thick beams. Every time a distinguished guest comes, the lights will be bright, warm and warm. The hall is decorated with elegant furniture of Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the middle of the round table, there is a pot of the precious Euonymus japonicus from South Korea. It is a typical Yangpai bonsai. It was collected by Hua Hanmin, the former general manager of Rugao green garden, and donated to his former residence. There are four plaques hanging in the main hall. One is "Wei Gong Jian Qi", which was presented by Yu Youren, Chen Guofu and Wu Zhihui, the KMT's yuan Lao, when he was the 80th birthday of Han Guojun. The other is "Lu Guo spirit", which was presented by Leng Hui, the commander of the water and land police (who was the vice governor of Jiangsu Province after the founding of new China) when Han Guojun was the governor of Jiangsu Province of the national government in 1925. The third is "great virtue will lead to longevity", which is the 80th birthday of Han Guojun At that time, the Red Cross Society of the world was established; the fourth "learning has its origin" was presented by Han Guojun to hang Haixuan, a famous doctor in Hai'an, and later to his former residence by Mr. hang. The four plaques are of extraordinary originality, which adds luster to the former residence. The main hall holding column couplet "thousands of years of ancient history is family law, purple robe jade belt true heaven and man" is the handwriting of Weng Tonghe, who was the number one scholar in Qing Dynasty, the official assistant bachelor and the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.

The western part of the main hall is called Xihua hall. It is the place where Han Guojun meets the distinguished guests. When Chen Yi led the New Fourth Army to move to Hai'an, they were invited to stay here. Although Chen and Han had a short time to meet each other, they knew each other very well. They poured wine and papers, and there was no empty day when they took over the banquet. During this period, when Liu Shaoqi (pseudonym Hu Fu) came to Hai'an, he also came to the Han residence to meet with Han Guojun. Han held a banquet for him to clean up the dust. The leaders of the New Fourth Army, from Liu and Chen down, once held a meeting at the Han residence.

Around the main hall screen door to the hall, in front of you is a yard full of osmanthus trees. Every August around the Mid Autumn Festival, golden osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, and the whole former residence is bathed in the fragrant wind. In the hall of the hall, a large number of pottery, stone tools, elk horns, Asian elephant fossils and precious cultural relics from the Neolithic sites of Qingdun and jijiadun, which represent the long history of Hai'an, are displayed. The five thousand year history of Hai'an civilization and the splendid and magical Qingdun culture make the people of Hai'an proud and make the visitors forget to return.

In the fourth entrance hall, there are usually paintings and calligraphy works collected by the people's Government of Hai'an County from famous calligraphers and painters in various provinces and cities of China during the restoration of the former residence. More than 800 calligraphers and Artists Association members at or above the provincial level were impressed by Mr. Han Guojun's lofty national integrity. After receiving the letter, they splashed ink and gave their favorite works wholeheartedly. Among them are su Juxian, Shen ruojian, Wang Xuezhong, Liu Wenxi, Xiao Lao, Xiao Xian, Guo huaruo, Lai Shaoqi, Liu Yi and other national famous calligraphers and painters. It is a collection of masterpieces of calligraphers and painters from all over the country (including Taiwan Province), including excellent works of modern calligraphy, seal cutting and traditional Chinese painting. This group of extremely precious cultural wealth can be called the treasure of Haian County Museum.

The door of the former residence's four entrance hall is very special. It is not only exquisite, but also decorated with ice glass. The lower part of each door is carved with engraved pictures, such as "plum orchid, bamboo chrysanthemum", or "eight horses", or various flowers and birds, or various landscapes, which makes these doors very elegant and plain. On the wall of the cloister connecting the second and third entrances, there is an inscription of Hai'an San written by calligrapher Zhong Zhenzi, Xiao Haiqing, the inspection department of Hai'an in Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, in the form of four characters of Zhen Cao Li Zhuan
