In what year did Chongqing master plan include Huguang Guild Hall in the scope of protection?

Huguang Guild Hall was built in the 24th year of Qing Qianlong (AD 1759) and expanded in the 26th year of Daoguang, with a total area of 856 1 m2, facing the Yangtze River in Qian Fan. According to historical records, the whole building is built on the mountain, row upon row, with tight structure and magnificent momentum, which is divided into three parts: the courtyard gate (temple gate), the main hall corridor and the theater courtyard.

The timber used in the main hall, the theater and the gallery are all shipped from "bei chu", and the amount of work is amazing. The main hall is a double-eaves mountain-resting type, covering an area of 270 square meters, with a height of 12.5 meters, a depth of 14 meters and a width of 16 meters.

The hall and the theater are connected, and the hall and the theater are carved with beams and painted with white walls and tiles, which are magnificent. In particular, the wood carvings of circular buildings under the cornices of the main hall and the theater are carved with characters' stories and landscape flowers and birds in Twenty-four Filial Pieties, The Journey to the West and The List of Gods, with exquisite craftsmanship, lifelike carving and endless pictures. More spectacular and precious is the Yuanmen building of the guild hall. The gate is a wood-like structure with double eaves and stone rows, with a height of 6m and a width of 5m. The stone carving is exquisite, including landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, etc., and the craft is very exquisite. On both sides of the gate, there is a pair of civil and military lions standing opposite each other, which is a treasure in Sichuan stone carving art. Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall is the collective name of Chongqing Wangfu, Guangdong, Qi 'an and other ancient buildings and antique new buildings in the early Qing Dynasty. The guild hall group was founded in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, expanded in the Daoguang period, and underwent several "facelifts" from Qianlong to Guangxu. With a history of nearly 300 years, it is the largest existing ancient guild hall group in China city center.

When you step into Huguang Guild Hall, the first thing you see is Yu Palace. On the left side of Yu Palace is the first immigration museum in China-Huguang Fill Sichuan Immigration Museum. With the background of "Huguang filling Sichuan", the museum shows the political background, economic factors and routes of immigrants entering Sichuan from different angles, which fully reflects the history of "Huguang filling Sichuan".

Then there is Kai 'an Office, which is the best preserved building in the complex, with a construction area of about 1.600 square meters. Qi 'an Office is a guild hall built by immigrants in Huangzhou, Hubei Province. It was built in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. The whole building includes a theater, a patio, an ornamental hall, an accommodation hall and a main hall. The gate is east, facing the direction of Huangzhou Prefecture, Hubei Province, the hometown of immigrants. It not only pays attention to geomantic omen, but also places the homesickness of immigrants.

Cross Qi 'an CCBA and enter Guangdong CCBA with "Looking at Lingnan" written on the forehead. Buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are carved with stories of characters in Twenty-four Filial Pieties, The Journey to the West and Shenpu, as well as landscape flowers and birds. Antique buildings and lifelike sculptors show the prosperity and brilliance of this ancient hall complex, which has a history of nearly 300 years and is the largest existing hall in China.

"Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall is spacious and magnificent, and it has the structural characteristics of Huizhou architecture. At the same time, it has distinctive architectural characteristics of Chongqing. The whole hall is built on the mountain, with different heights and staggered steps. Each courtyard has a patio balcony, which is a feature that the traditional Huizhou architectural structure does not have. "

Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall has different architectural features. Gardens in Jiangnan style are often used for landscaping. The tall bank up wall between the courtyards of the guild hall divides the guild hall into several small courtyards, and each small courtyard is connected by a small door, which is constantly unique in space. In this way, each courtyard has its own unique function and style, which is the combination of Jiangnan garden characteristics and Huizhou architectural structure.

The decoration of Huguang Guild Hall in Chongqing also has a strong Huizhou style. Woodcarving comes from Huizhou woodcarving in southern Anhui, with smooth lines and lifelike figures, people, ghosts, gods, flowers, birds and animals. For example, the wooden dragon on the diagonal support of CCBA Theater in Guangdong has a dragon ball in its mouth, and the wooden ball can roll freely and will not fall.

In addition, there are four simple and elegant stages in the hall, including two in Yuyuan Garden, one in Qi 'an and one in Guangdong. Exquisite carving on the stage, the carving theme mainly comes from the characters' stories in The Journey to the West, Romance of the West Chamber, List of Gods, Twenty-four Filial Pieties, as well as various animal patterns such as dragons and phoenixes and various plant patterns such as exotic flowers and herbs, which are exquisite and realistic. In the mid-1980s, during the second cultural relics survey in Chongqing, the Huguang Guild Hall lost in the dangerous building of Dongshuimen in Xiahongxue Lane was discovered by accident. At this time, Huguang Guild Hall has become a residential building and a unit warehouse. Not only has it been in disrepair for a long time, but a large number of exquisite wood carvings, stone carvings, temples, pavilions and pavilions have also been seriously damaged. Moreover, the local people's living environment is also very bad, facing fire, termites, dangerous house collapse and other unsafe hidden dangers, and the whole guild hall group may face extinction at any time.

In the upsurge of old city reconstruction, the governments of Chongqing and Yuzhong District decided to invest 654.38 billion yuan to carry out protective restoration of the buildings in the core area of Huguang Club. The construction project of Huguang Club started on February 28th, 2003 and was completed in September, 2005. The Yuyuan Garden, Guangdong and Qi 'an were restored, and some antique buildings were built, with a restored building area of ***7634 square meters.

The restoration of Huguang Guild Hall was included in the World Bank loan project and the key project of Chongqing in 2003. The restoration project was invited for public bidding nationwide, and it was finally decided that the first-class cultural relics construction teams in Beijing, Shanxi, Shandong and other countries would implement the restoration project. At the same time, the old city walls and ancient city walls around Dongshuimen have been restored, and the ancient buildings that are difficult to protect in other areas, such as Guanmiao and Qipaifang, have also been moved here for centralized protection, making Huguang Guild Hall the most concentrated ancient cultural relics complex in the main city of Chongqing.

In September 2005, it took 2 1 month, and the restoration of Huguang Guild Hall was completed. Luo, an expert on ancient buildings and cultural relics in China, wrote a poem specially for this purpose: "The old houses in Chongqing are full of vicissitudes, and I was obsessed with them sixty years ago, but broken walls has gone. I like to see the scenery again. " Huguang Guild Hall now holds many festivals such as "Immigrant Culture Festival", "Wang Yu Temple Fair" and "Folk Art Festival" every year. It has also become the base of film and television shooting, photography creation and painting creation, and also the base of traditional wedding.

Nowadays, many young people like to hold weddings here more and more. According to statistics, more than 30 Chinese weddings are held here every year. Some newcomers think that holding a wedding here is not only novel in form and profound in meaning, but also unforgettable for friends who come to attend the wedding. In fact, in addition to wedding activities, Huguang Guild Hall is very popular, and some fashion product release activities also take a fancy to it. As the person in charge of an advertising company said: "Huguang Guild Hall has been honed over the years and has immortal historical collection value, and some fashionable goods are also classics and models that have been circulated for a hundred years, which can be the swan song of two classics."

Following the expansion and regional transformation of central business districts such as Wanglongmen and Qixinggang, Yuzhong District will also transform the lower part of the city such as Jiefang East Road and Jiefang West Road into a historical and cultural area of the lower part of the city. After 3-5 years, the lower part of the city will become a new window area in Chongqing.

From the Southern Song Dynasty to the opening of Chongqing, the second half of the city has accumulated profound Bayu culture and historical culture, and is now called the mother city of Chongqing. However, in the past, the investment in long-term construction in this area was insufficient, and the infrastructure, living environment and living conditions were poor. Previously included in the scope of renovation of municipal dilapidated houses. After several years of efforts, the renovation of dilapidated houses and shanty towns in this area has basically ended and entered the stage of transformation and development.

The historical and cultural landscape area in the lower part of the city will be divided into three areas, including white elephant street in the central area, Huguang Guild Hall in the east, Wanglongmen area and Shibabu area in the west. These areas are rich in historical and cultural heritage. In the future, while respecting the historical features and spatial pattern planning, they will not only carry out new construction, but also retain a considerable proportion of the old city features, forming a mother city with complementary historical and cultural heritage and modern life.
