The History and Culture of Yihe Building

Expert opinion: Every house has old photos with strong historical and cultural atmosphere.

Qingshi Road is wide and tidy, and dense French sycamore and cedar can be seen everywhere. Several rickshaws stopped quietly, and waiters in buttoned coats held oil-paper umbrellas. ...

As soon as the reporter entered the 12 th district of Yihe Road Mansion, it was like "crossing" back to the era of the Republic of China. According to the staff, Yihe Road Guangong District, which is now included in the protection scope, covers an area of 378,000 square meters and has 225 buildings of the Republic of China such as embassies and celebrities' former residences, which are divided into 12 areas. Yihe Road Gongguan District 12 District, which has been renovated, is a noble block integrating exhibition, leisure, tourism, vacation, accommodation and catering.

At present, the theme cultural experience hotel of the Republic of China has been built in the 12 th district of Yihe Road, taking the lead in opening to the outside world. The area covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, with 26 gardens and houses. Xue Yue, Huang, Zhang, Xiong Bin and other celebrities of the Republic of China once lived in the area. Some have been turned into exquisite Republic-style villas, hotels and catering and leisure facilities. Repairing the old as before and restoring the "Republic of China style" to the greatest extent is a major feature here. In one villa, the reporter saw that the decorative strips on the door and the plaster lines on the roof were original, and the floor and tiles were also very old.

Professor Zou Huying, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University: Repairing and transforming old buildings can achieve such an effect, which is rare in China. What impressed me deeply was the historical and cultural atmosphere in the mansion, such as the owner's text introduction and old photos on the door wall of each house; There are owner's handwriting, calligraphy and painting, books related to the owner and so on in the room. I first saw Chen Bulei's calligraphy and calligraphy, and his skills were extraordinary. I can't put down the recipes in the museum either. They are beautiful, shiny rice paper and small calligraphy. I want to take them home for collection. [2]

Professor Chen Zishan from East China Normal University in Shanghai: sinan mansions District in Shanghai, Yihe An 'ao in Beijing and Hubin Village in Hangzhou are all very similar to Nanjing Yihe Road, but Nanjing Yihe Mansion is more elegant.

Professor Zhao Chen, School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Nanjing University: The design of Yihe Road 12 is very atmospheric, and the overall effect is very good in restoring the architectural style of the Republic of China. We can make further efforts to restore details and interests. Professor qi zhou, School of Architecture, Southeast University: Due to historical reasons, although the buildings of the Republic of China in this area have not been destroyed on a large scale, the phenomenon of being tied up is very serious, and some main buildings have been "managed" beyond recognition. This transformation has played an exemplary role in the whole Yihe Road area.
