A visit to Jimo county yamen Jimo ancient county yamen

On the morning of July 6th, the reporter walked into Jimo County, and the gate of the former county was closed, so he had to follow the small gate on the west side of the gate to find the historical footprint. The reporter first entered the main hall of the county government, and the plaque of "Jimo County main hall" was hung directly above the main hall, and the gold-plated characters were more solemn. The couplets on both sides of the doorpost, "Four seasons in spring and the wind and rain outside the hall with three feet of hot sun and frost on the desk", are even more awe-inspiring. The "loyalty and love", "honesty and integrity" and "mountain of law enforcement" hanging high in the lobby show the pursuit of moral integrity and being an official for the people by ancient officials in Jimo.

on the wall inside the main hall, there is also a brief introduction of Jimo county government, a list of Jimo county magistrate changes in past dynasties and the introduction of famous magistrate. The reporter counted that there were 138 magistrates. After Qi Weiwang's "blockbuster", a local official who ranked first in the national performance appraisal appeared in Qi State, and this was Dr. Jimo. Of course, when he was in charge of Jimo, the county government had not moved here, so he did not appear among the famous magistrate of a county here. However, his achievements and qualities as an official have a far-reaching influence on the latecomers. In the long history, there are many good county magistrates in Jimo who are honest and honest and make decisions for the people. After many generations of Jimo people's stories, Xu Ding, the county magistrate of Jimo in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, and You Shuxiao, the county magistrate in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, all left a strong memory in Jimo's history because they purified themselves and loved others, promoted advantages and eliminated disadvantages. To be an official, you should be diligent and love the people, but also wise and superman. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, a good county magistrate, Kang Linsheng, came to Jimo. After he came to Jimo, he extensively investigated the people's feelings and introduced radish and pepper from his hometown in Henan to Jimo, which benefited the local people a lot.

According to Mr. Han Naigui, director of the jimo city Original History Office, one year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Kang County made a patrol in the street to understand the people's feelings, when he suddenly heard a quarrel. It turned out that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting in the street, and the county magistrate rushed forward to persuade her. The mother-in-law said that she was blind, and the daughter-in-law bullied her into not seeing, and only gave her bran vegetables to eat, but she ate fish and meat herself. Daughter-in-law went to the county grandfather to complain, saying that her mother-in-law had wronged her, and she forced herself to swallow chaff and waste vegetables, and gave all the delicious food to her mother-in-law Kang county magistrate laughed and persuaded the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not to make noise, and they should treat them to a good meal to celebrate the festival.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having dinner with the county magistrate happily, and soon they were both drunk. Kang county magistrate immediately ordered the chief to help the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law run. After several turns, the mother-in-law spit out her stomach full of bran vegetables, while the daughter-in-law spit out fish and meat. The truth of the case came to light, and Kang county magistrate held the principle of treating patients and saving lives, and let their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law communicate and coordinate first. As a result, the daughter-in-law was greatly educated and later became a model of filial piety to her mother-in-law. Coming out from the back door of the purlin, there is the Ertang, which consists of two completely symmetrical wings and a main room. Compared with the solemnity of the purlin, the Ertang is a little more lively, and the eaves and columns are very gorgeous. In the open space between the two halls, there are six cypress trees towering into the sky, which are like dragons. Longbai, Platycladus orientalis and Sabina vulgaris each show their own green and tall. According to experts, these trees are 4 to 6 years old. Standing under the hall, the cool breeze blows, and the branches of cypress and towering eaves block the hot sun, which is a hundred times more comfortable than staying in a modern office.

Behind Hall 2 is Hall 3, but here it looks a lot old. Jiang Baoguo, deputy director of the jimo city Museum, said that this building was built at the beginning of the reign of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty, and it was built and expanded for more than 1 times in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and gradually formed a complete county building complex. Although it has been eroded by wind and rain for more than a thousand years, one to three halls exist, and it is the only three old halls in Shandong Province.

The existing main hall, or "lobby" and "court", is a place for litigation and trial. A main hall is 11.2 meters east-west, 13.75 meters north-south, 5.1 meters east-west and 11.75 meters north-south, with a construction area of 273.85 square meters. There is a "basement" in the west wing, which is only seen by the old county government. Behind the main hall is the second hall, once named "Yin Tang", "Ming Qin" and "Zhiyuan", which is the place for deliberation and reception.

apart from the left and right wing rooms, Hall 2 has two matching rooms in front, with a building area of 238.98 square meters. Then there are three halls, which are the dormitory of the county magistrate and his family, with a construction area of 149.41 square meters. In addition, there is a county gate 1 meters in front of the lobby, with a construction area of 87.93 square meters. In 1999, it invested 3, yuan to repair the main hall of the county government, and in 22, it invested 1 million yuan to repair the second hall. With the growth and change of age, many buildings no longer exist, and the county workshop on the east side of the county gate has become the survivor of these auxiliary buildings. The blue bricks and small tiles of the county government workshop are low and shabby, and the old is projected in the old. The reporter interviewed a lot of people. What was it used to do here? Now no one can say clearly. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it became personal property, and residents still live in it, and another door opens directly to Zhongshan Street. It's just that the house is still in the courtyard of the county government, and it seems difficult to give up the inextricably linked relationship with the county government.

Toad Bay on the east side of the county government has been swallowed up by the years. Mr. Hu, who has lived near Jimo county government for generations, introduced that there is another legend about Toad Bay. One summer, toads swarmed in the bay, clamoring day and night. County grandfather couldn't work quietly, so he had to fight with toad. He wrote a few symbols casually and told the "secretary" to press the symbol on the edge of the bay with stones. As a result, the frogs soon disappeared, and the residents around the county government were very curious and went to check it out. I found that the frogs were all turning their bellies and lying on the water in the "sunshine bath". This is just a legend, but it is enough to show that Jimo county government has great prestige among the people.
