Not bad money "nail house": Shenzhen old house is surrounded by top 500, why no one dares to move?

Shenzhen, located on the south coast of China, is known as the city that China people pulled up overnight. Although the development of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone is only 30 years, it has a history of more than 6,000 years of human activities. Now, due to the rapid development of Shenzhen, it has become a very modern city. Now the land can be said to be an inch of land, but in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, where there are many high-rise buildings, there is a building that is incompatible with high-rise buildings-Zheng's Ancestral Hall.

"Nail Households" Surrounded by Top 500 Companies

In the urbanization stage with such rapid economic development, more and more old buildings will be demolished. For house demolition, ordinary people are welcome, because they are likely to become millionaires by demolition. However, the descendants of the Zheng ancestral hall in Nanshan District, Shenzhen once said: "I will buy whoever dares to tear it down!" "Why is the owner of this ancestral temple so arrogant?

Ancestral temples have been used by the world to worship ancestors and sages since ancient times, playing an important role in China. Guangdong is also considered as one of the most representative areas of ancestral temples in China, because Cantonese people have a strong sense of clan and there are many ancestral temples. In their eyes, the ancestral temple is the bond and sustenance between families. But later, with the urban construction planning, more and more ancestral halls were demolished, so that now there are few ancestral halls in the city. Zheng's Ancestral Hall is one of the best preserved ancestral halls in China, and it is called the strongest ancestral hall in China.

Zheng people are descendants of Zheng Baifeng, the ancestor of Zheng family who settled in Nantou in the third year of Song Xining (1070). Zheng Shengju, founder of the Zheng family in Dayong, is the eighth generation grandson. He established a village in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. They reclaimed wasteland, married and had children on this land, and lived here for generations. Although life was difficult at first, Zheng people struggled hard and finally succeeded in foothold in this land.

All previous dynasties have been repaired and well preserved.

Zheng ancestral hall has a history of more than 700 years. The ancestral temple was built in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been repaired in all dynasties, so it still retains the antique architectural features of the Qing Dynasty. In order to better protect the ancestral hall, only the outer wall of the ancestral hall is repaired every time, and the design framework and style inside the ancestral hall have always been original.

After a hundred years of wind and rain, this ancestral hall also assumed the important task of the times during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. 1926, which was once a holy place for cultivating revolutionary kindling, was also the commander who deployed the peasant movement. Countless patriots have left footprints here. Fortunately, however, Zheng's ancestral hall successfully escaped from danger during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period and was not damaged by the war. He witnessed the development of Shenzhen from a small fishing village to an economic center, which, like the Forbidden City, has great research value.

Ancestral temples are ancestors and temples are thoughts.

At the same time, the Zheng family is also one of the earliest immigrants in Shenzhen. Zheng's descendants have traveled all over the Pearl River Delta, and there are many historical celebrities. Now many descendants are doing business, so it's not bad at all. Every year, the Zheng family will come to the ancestral temple to hold a lantern festival. At the same time, Tianding's family will also come to the ancestral hall to celebrate the birth of a newborn. They will burn incense, light candles and hang lanterns in the ancestral hall. The strong smell of fireworks also adds a lot of human touch to Shenzhen, a modern city.

As early as a long time ago, some people coveted this land, and many enterprises in Shenzhen, where land is precious, wanted to buy this land to build high-rise buildings. However, as descendants of the Zheng family, they are also very concerned about the protection of ancestral temples. Old people in the ancestral hall are not allowed to touch this ancestral hall. For them, this is the foundation of the family.

In 2003, the Shenzhen Municipal Government officially listed Zheng's ancestral hall as a cultural relic protection unit and opened it to the public free of charge. The existence of this temple itself is very special, so many tourists come in droves and are very curious about this ancestral temple hidden in the city. Zheng's ancestral hall has become a place for young people who are tired of city life to purify their hearts.

As the leader of China's fast-growing cities, Shenzhen will inevitably be labeled as having no cultural background. The appearance of the Zheng ancestral hall has also added many historical details to the city. As the saying goes, the Zheng family combined modern life with ancient culture to the extreme.

The ancestral temple is one of the symbols of traditional culture in China, which embodies the expectations and memories of our ancestors. A ancestral temple can reflect the history, origin and traditional culture of a surname. Zheng's ancestral hall has been staring at the ebb and flow of the city calmly and serenely. It is not only the "wealth" left to the Zheng family, but also the "wealth" left to the people of China.
