Appreciation of workmanship

The overall structure of the archway adopts the method of side feet, converges inward, and the four pillars erase the edges and corners, which is the so-called false corner pillar; the north and south directions of the pillars are respectively protected by drum stones, which creates a dignified, stable, proud and straight aesthetic effect; the top of the archway is Xieshan style, which is cut and chiseled with Teagarden stone slabs, supported by brackets and overhanging eaves. At the two ends of the main ridge, the fish faced each other. In the middle of the main ridge in the Ming Dynasty, the flame beads were placed, and the eight corners of the berm rose and soared. In the center of the main building, there is a vertical "Enrong" plaque, with relief double dragons playing with pearls around it. On the South and north sides of the flower board at the bottom are engraved with "Yishi Shangshu" and "Yishi Gongbao". The calligraphy is fluent and extraordinary. It is a great calligrapher.

Yishishang bookshop's four fixed plates are decorated with lotus petals. The joints of beams and columns are decorated with sparrows. The carving pattern of the ER Fang is very exquisite. The craftsman is good at carving techniques and uses round carving. Through carving, deep relief, shallow relief, hollowed out carving and other crafts, make a beautiful and vivid, wonderful picture on the stone: kunpengzhan wings, crane take off, Taishi rolling ball, double dragon playing pearl, the layout is refined, the idea is deep, giving people a kind of beautiful artistic enjoyment. In particular, a group of pictures in the north of zhongefang is more magical. Craftsmen use stone instead of paper and chisel as a pen to gallop in the vast world of Art: mountains, waters, pavilions, platforms, buildings and pavilions; civil and military officials are all excellent. Either Yilin decides the hero, or the sea of books to explore treasure, or fishing alone by the river, or discussing Yin and Yang with each other. The life in the paradise and the happiness of peaceful and prosperous times can be vividly described here. The cold stone, passing through the craftsman's hands, seems to emit bursts of heat, making people feel warm and comfortable.

praise

Guo Moruo once wrote a five character poem to praise the artistic achievements of ancient architecture: "the workers in heaven can be replaced, but the artificial heaven is inferior. Sure enough, it's better to build the world than to read for ten years. " Yishishang bookstore is also an extraordinary example of this ancient architectural art achievement. Mr. Zheng Xiaoxie, a famous architect, once made the following comments: as far as its carving art is concerned, it is slightly better than Xu Guoshi square, a national security unit in Shexian county. It can be seen that yishishang bookstore is priceless.

The history of the square

The so-called "Yi Shi" means generation after generation. The workshop was established for Hu Fu, Minister of the Ministry of household and Hu Zongxian, Minister of the Ministry of war. Hu Fu was a Jinshi of the 1898 movement in Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty (1478), and Hu Zongxian was a Jinshi of the 1898 movement in Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1538).

Hu Fu

Hu Fu (1445-1522), the 30th grandson of the Hu family in Longchuan, was named Yongnian. In the early days of the imperial examinations, he was granted the peace of Dali temple in Nanjing. In the early years of Hongzhi (1488), he was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Fujian in the early years of the Hongzhi period, and later transferred to the deputy governor of Guangdong. Because of his "resolute in case of trouble, especially in law enforcement", he was promoted to minister of the Ministry of household in Nanjing. After his death, he presented Shaobao, the crown prince, with the posthumous title of Kanghui. His works are handed down from generation to generation. Ming history has its own biography. In Longchuan, there is a mansion called Shaobao mansion, and Wen Zhengming inscribed it with a plaque "Shien hall". Unfortunately, Shaobao mansion has been demolished, and only the plaque of "Shien hall" is left. The Hu clan ancestral hall in Longchuan is a little consolation.

Hu Zongxian

Hu Zongxian (1512-1565) is the 34th grandson of Hu family in Longchuan, with the name of Ruzhen and Meilin. He was awarded the Yidu order of Shandong Province at the beginning after he was promoted to the third level as the governor of Hangzhou. During this period, Hu Zongxian did not forget his ancestral precept of "serving as an official and benefiting one side". He renovated the West Lake and expanded the Yue Temple, which was highly praised by the people. In the 34th year of Jiajing reign (1555), he served as the censor of Zhejiang Province, and was immediately promoted to governor. He was in charge of the military affairs of seven provinces to fight against Japanese invaders. Hu Zongxian recruited a wide range of talents, recruited Xu Wei, Shen Mingchen, Mao Kun, Wen Zhengming and others as his staff, boldly used Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Lu boring and others as his generals, formulated the strategies of "attacking and scheming first, wrestling second" and "suppressing and pacifying at the same time, disintegrating" to fight in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and quell the Japanese invasion. He "made great achievements in a dynasty after his death with his lonely and dangerous body and a hundred pecking mouth.". Because Hu Zongxian has made great contributions to the protection of national dignity and national security, he has won many honors for his contributions. He became the first person in the feudal society of the Hu family in Longchuan. There is a mansion in Longchuan, called Shangshu mansion. It is the only remaining official mansion in ancient Huizhou, commonly known as "24 men Que". It is located at the helm of Longchuan village. After 500 years of wind and rain, it is still the best geomantic omen level. It is the birthplace of Hu family in Longchuan.

comment

Hu Fu and Hu Zongxian, two feudal officials with boundless merits, won boundless honor for the Hu family in Longchuan. In order to commemorate them forever, people set up 13 squares for them, including 7 in Longchuan. However, these 13 buildings are engraved with people's nostalgia

Up to now, only yishishang bookshop has been left. What yishishang bookshop shows us is not only the extraordinary architectural carving art, but also something else.
