Kaiping Diaolou —— Narrative of Junior High School
Kaiping Diaolou, located in Kaiping City, Guangdong Province, was officially listed in the World Cultural Heritage List in 2007, becoming the 35th World Heritage Site in China and the only one in Guangdong Province. People often say that Kaiping watchtowers refer to watchtowers in Gigi Lai Village, Ma Jiang Long, Jinjiang Li and Sanmenli. This time, I mainly introduce Gigi Lai Village Scenic Spot, whose name means "self-reliance".
As soon as I entered Gigi Lai Village, I saw a pond. The lotus in the pond is in bud, or the bud is condensed, or the lotus is graceful, which is simply the kingdom of lotus. A small wooden bridge was built on this lotus pond, winding and winding. Every once in a while, there is an antique pavilion echoing the lotus pond. At the end of the lotus pond stands a six-story tower-shaped vernacular building integrating defense, residence and Chinese and western architectural arts. This is the "first person" in Gigi Lai Village-Mingshi Building. Anyone visiting Kaiping Kaili Village, Shi Ming Building is a must. This is the most beautiful tower in Gigi Lai Village, and it was also the shooting place of the movie Let the Bullets Fly. It is said that Fang Runwen, the landlord, was poor when he was a child. Later, he went to America to make a living. He runs a restaurant and a grocery store. After making money, he returned to his hometown and spent more than 10 million silver dollars to build this Shi Ming building. At that time, there were no reinforced concrete building materials in China, and all the reinforced concrete building materials of Shi Ming Building were imported from abroad.
On the first floor of Shi Ming Building is a hall, with large photos of Fang Runwen and his three wives hanging on the front wall. The second to fourth floors are bedrooms and kitchens. The most distinctive feature is the fifth floor. If you stand on the first floor and look up from the bottom, you will find four suspended cylinders protruding from the smooth wall of the building, which are distributed in the four corners of the fifth floor. Locals call it "bird's nest". There are also many shooting holes in the wall and ground on the fifth floor, which can not only deal with bandits and robbers from a commanding height, but also throw keys at relatives and friends who come to visit. It's quite distinctive There is a hexagonal glazed tile pavilion in the center of the roof, where bullets can fly. The interior decoration of the whole diaolou is gorgeous, with colorful glass in the windows, enamel and porcelain paintings embedded in carved furniture, an antique phonograph like a blooming morning glory, a big bathtub, a floor clock, a kerosene chandelier and a big spring bed ..... which reveals a strong combination of Chinese and western.
Apart from the Shi Ming Tower, the Kaiping Diaolou Group also includes the leaning tower of Pisa, the Ruishi Tower on the first floor of Kaiping and the oldest Ying Long Ta ... They have witnessed the vicissitudes of history for hundreds of years and the industriousness and pioneering spirit of overseas Chinese. Every watchtower has a mixed story of sadness and joy, and all of them are entrusted with the infinite thoughts of overseas Chinese for their motherland and their loved ones.
