Honganzhulou village

Two villages in Hong 'an County, my hometown, are listed in the list of "Traditional Villages in China" by the four ministries and commissions, and Zhujialouan, Zhulou Village in Huajiahe Town, is listed in the first batch of national financial support list on 20 14, and the Ministry of Finance will allocate funds for protection and development.

According to the official statement, Zhujialou Village is "the beauty of vicissitudes". "It attracts the attention of the world with its heavy history, classical Ming and Qing architecture and brilliant Ming and Qing sculpture art." A brief study of Zhu Jiapu's ancestor Yan was from Nanchang, Jiangxi. Ming Hongwunian (AD 1369) moved to Zhujiahe in the lower part of Lvwangcheng, and the third Gong Yan moved to Zhujialou, which has been copied to this day. The core area of ancient folk houses is the pond in front of the door and the folk houses on the north bank of the pond. Scattered in the village, there are more than 30 courtyards and more than 300 houses, criss-crossing and connected by four parallel lanes in the east and west.

It was the middle of winter and it was snowing in Chu Qing. The village is in the cold wind, the temperature is lower than predicted, and the scenery is more depressed than expected. There are obvious signs of pond reconstruction in the west of the village, and the cobblestone ditch is the witness of "protection and development". Tang Geng is still a dirt road, about 30 meters long. Two tall deciduous trees, one is Moringa oleifera (scientific name butter) and the other is maple. There are two people hugging peppers, and the oil seeds have already been harvested, leaving only the twigs of the branches scattered in the air; Maple trees are tall and straight, with compact branches, and crows at the branches are particularly eye-catching. The old strength of the two trees corresponds to the thinness of the pond, but they do not feel a sense of disobedience. It's just that the colorful flower trees on the revetment, whether green or yellow, always feel that they don't match the lingering snow and ice.

Entering the village, you can see simplicity and ruins. The tall gatehouse, huge stone foundation and brick wall, exquisite stone carvings and paintings, small blue tiles on the roof, bank walls on the roof, high cornices on the roof and animal heads all indicate the long time. Looking at Cang Sang in the years.

With the ancient buildings in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, adobe houses have long been widespread in rural areas, and collapsed and lost their living function, showing the helplessness and despair of the times. When protecting ancient buildings, what should be done with the home ownership houses in these specific times? Pushing it down, some ancient buildings will lose their support; Rebuild it. Adobe houses are really not suitable for living. Where does the maintenance cost come from? What is the historical and cultural value of transforming it into a double eaves with blue bricks, bluestones and black tiles? Difficult!

In the south of the village, there is a rare ancestral hall in Hong 'an (Wu's ancestral hall in Balidou Mountain is well preserved), and Zhu's ancestral hall "Taiyuan Family Temple" is tall and spectacular. It is said that it was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and fell into disrepair. After 20 1 1 year maintenance, the original appearance was restored.

Obviously, he immigrated from Nanchang, Jiangxi. Why is the ancestral temple called "Taiyuan Family Temple"?

Walking through the ancestral temple, the sharp sound of shovels and shovels came from the deep alley. Patrol sound in the past, I wish the boss is struggling to shovel snow. After a brief greeting, I asked about the "Taiyuan Family Temple" and wished my eldest brother a man of insight to have a look and explain it to me.

Zhu Zu moved to Jiangxi in the 21st year of Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty (1388), accompanied by Zhu Yuaner and Zhu San. Started to settle in Huangpi, Hubei Province. In 14, Zhu Zaijiu and his three sons moved upstream to Zhujialou at the foot of Chengxiao Mountain in Huang An County, and then branched to Zhujialou in the north of Hehua Town. This statement is different from Zhu's genealogy. )

In ancient times, the surnames of Zhu in Taiyuan, Shanxi and Luoyang, Henan were the most famous. These two are the symbols of Zhu's surname in a long historical period, and Zhu's surname called Taiyuan County Hope and Luoyang County Hope. Therefore, the lintel of Zhu Shi Ancestral Temple in Zhujialou is called "Taiyuan Family Temple".

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhu's descendants moved to Xiaogan, Macheng and Xinzhou in Hubei, and another moved to Xinyang in Henan. Now the surname Zhu is thriving.

I wish eldest brother is fifty-three this year. He is very talkative. After talking for 30 years, I walked the rivers and lakes, buying and selling antiques as my profession, and then I went back to my hometown to farm and worked in the surrounding areas during the slack season. He warmly invited me into the house. Entering the room is the patio, stepping into the main hall and laying cement on the ground; Glass embedded with Mao Zedong statue is hung in the middle hall, and household couplets are used on both sides; Nave is hung with Zheng Banqiao bamboo paintings; Black paint in spring, bottles and cans scattered on it; In the middle of the front, there is an eighteen immortals table with four chairs on each side. The tables and chairs are antique, and you can't see the texture, but the workmanship is fine, and the carved flowers, birds, fish and insects are clearly distinguishable and lifelike. The old wooden furniture in the hall was soaked in some antiques. I took the liberty of asking about the whereabouts of the other four plush chairs. I wish eldest brother a little embarrassed, prevaricated and didn't ask again.

Brother Zhu proudly said, "My room is the only room in Zhujialou that has a cultural atmosphere." I looked up at the attic board and repeatedly said, "That's it."

Seeing that I look like a literate person, Brother Zhu introduced me to the famous calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall: the bamboo painting Gao Deliang Festival by Banqiao layman, Poems of a Hundred Schools, and An Ran (who is it? ) Megatron Mountain Forest.

After praising the calligraphy and painting of "famous artists" with him, I was attracted by the pushback placed casually on the small table next to me. When I was a child, I read some thread-bound books, such as Compendium of Materia Medica and Zengguang Xianwen, which my late father read every day before his death. This "push back map" is also vaguely remembered.

"Did you write the word Zhu on the cover?"

"Yes!" I wish the boss said proudly.

"Where is the first volume?"

"I don't know where it fell." Brother Zhu is embarrassed again.

There is a discussion among high school students: what are the three words on the lintel of an ancient house in Zhujialou? The discussion at that time is fresh in my memory. Now go to Zhujialou in person and photograph these three words. The grand occasion of students' textual research is still in sight. The three sentences "Love my Gallery", "Love my Lounge" and "Love my Confucius Preface" have their own reasons, so you can make up for them yourself.

Follow the path to the back hill. The snow on the stone road has not disappeared, and it is white and shining in the winter sun. Click on the snow, which is the painful separation between the temperature of MINUS five degrees and the snow in winter. Broken walls can be seen everywhere, and the hay on the wall is shivering in the cold wind like a tree in the distance.

Turning to Tang Qian, the south gate of the village, the willows on the ridge of the pond are still small, and red berries have been made. An old man holding a heater, squinting, basking in the sun on the edge of the house; A middle-aged man came from a distant ridge with a rake and a hoe on his shoulder.

The whole village was silent.
