The preface of the composition "Beauty of Hometown" is: My home is thousands of households in Zhouzhi to the north.

The east. Com1June 13 News: It is learned from this newspaper that Shanghai Heather has protected several old houses in the transformation of the old city. Some colleagues mentioned that Heather's old house is "dwarfed" compared with Songjiang's old city. However, how much "possessions" do we have in our "hometown" in Songjiang? No one can say for sure. After deliberation, the editorial department decided to send a reporter to visit on the spot.

Songjiang, talking to Zhang, Minister of Propaganda Department of the District Party Committee, hit it off. Minister Zhang said that after he took office, the history of Songjiang, the "hometown" of Shanghai, often hovered in his mind. It is often said that China is the largest country today.

Our city, Shanghai, was just a fishing village by the sea hundreds of years ago. The word "Shanghai" representing Shanghai means fishing gear. I didn't know there was another word for Shanghai, "Shen". When the word "Shen" is mentioned, it is 2000.

The origin of many years: In 248 BC, Huang Xie wrote to the king of Chu, demanding that the fief be changed from Huaibei to Wu, and that the Huating be built in Songjiang, Shanghai as a "lodging place", that is, Shanghai before.

Named after the body, Han is located in the town and Tang is located in the county. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Songjiang had accumulated a solid cultural foundation. There are five top scholars alone, and there are more than 30 flower scouts and second place, enjoying the reputation of "one in ten miles, one in three".

People's reputation. From the spring of "3,000 households" to Lu Ji who wrote "Ning Tie" in Jin Dynasty, thinking of Hans Zhang, the beauty of perch, and then to Dong Qichang and Zhangxianghe in Ming and Qing Dynasties, how many Shanghainese "ancestors" went down in history, and Songjiang was not only on the list.

The root of the sea is also an important cornerstone of the Huaxia Culture Building. Perhaps Shanghai, a modern city, is developing too fast. The splendor of the Bund and Nanjing Road eclipses the blue bricks and green tiles of Songjiang ancient town, while the Tantoroni Buddhist scriptures Stela and Fangta.

Tang style Song Yun leaves only a vague glimpse in the minds of Shanghainese today, but Shanghai is by no means a city without foundation, and we must not forget our "hometown".

For Shanghai, "seeking roots" is nothing.

People doubt that this will be a masterpiece. We just want to write a "short article" about this visit, first find out the old buildings and ancient houses that can still be seen and touched in the old city of Songjiang, and directly attack the information left over from historical vicissitudes. Autumn wind rustling, autumn rain cotton.

Mian, accompanied by Zhang, deputy director of Songjiang Local Records Office and director of Songjiang Museum, we walked through the streets of the old city and visited the old city one by one.

The resistance came from the Ming Dynasty.

After the Japanese soldiers entered the customs, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fought fiercely with foreign guns, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was bombed by the Japanese army, and Songjiang Old Town was repeatedly destroyed and built. After large-scale urban transformation in recent years, the style of the old city has been greatly improved. Photographer Xu Guilin grew up in Songsong.

Lao Jiang grew up and studied painting since childhood. He often paints in old houses and long alleys by the water. Later, he fell in love with photography and began to shoot old houses with cameras. Last August, Xiling Printing Press selected 200 photos of his old house for publication.

After reading the book "Songjiang Old Residence", Xu Jun also took time to visit with him. The reporter looked along the map, but found that about one-third of the old houses had been demolished, and many house photos had become "photos". Fortunately, Xiunan Street in the west of the city today is a street outside the city.

Belt, still retains a large number of old houses, many of which are ancient houses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Xiunan Street, centered on Cang Qiao, a complete ancient bridge in the Ming Dynasty, basically retains the style of Jiangnan water town.

The original appearance of the ancient town. Standing on the ancient bridge head made of bluestone, on both sides of the river, willow branches brush water, stone steps along the river, and many houses along the river are row upon row, with uneven plane and uneven facade. White walls and tiles, shaded by trees,

Arch bridge, blue sky and clear water, elegant and harmonious colors. Shen Shi Sanzhai, Wangshifu and other dozens of houses in the north of the bridge are well-preserved typical ancient dwellings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to Xu Guilin, Songjiang still retains the famous painters of Nanzong in Ming Dynasty.

The stone tablet "The Story of Xicangqiao" inscribed by Dong Qichang can be completely protected and developed in this area, which can basically present the original charm of the ancient water town.

The old house in Xiunan Street and the old house in Zhongshan West Road in Hebei Province.

Several ancient houses, such as the house and Du's carved house, have been basically preserved. Dongwai Street in the east of the city is the gateway of Songjiang ancient city in Ming and Qing Dynasties. At first glance, several quaint stone slab bridges are typical.

Ming dynasty style. On both sides of the narrow stone steps, it is still antique and winding, and many elegant and comfortable old houses are hidden among flowers and trees. Xu Guilin and several old wizards in Songjiang Local Records Office said that Dongwai Street was the only street.

On the street, you can at least find 10 old houses worthy of the bronze medal of "district-level cultural relics protection unit". At Dongwai Street 1 19, the reporter sat in a family's home and had a panoramic view of the bluestone floor, big windows and carved beams and painted buildings.

Infinite reverie.

As the saying goes: amateurs watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway. When reporters stepped into these old houses, they felt indescribable "charm", but in the opinion of experts, it was the tempering of Millennium culture.

Implicit and elegant, the profound connotation of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is priceless in cultural spirit and architectural design. Yin Yongda, a professor of architecture at Tongji University, grew up in Liren Lane, Songjiang Town. He still remembers that when he was a child, he often.

I often take my paintings to my neighbor Wang's house for advice. Neighbors live in an old house with long windows in the south, and the environment is very quiet. I remember that every time I cross a narrow lane from the south entrance, I will follow the axis and pass through one courtyard and residence after another.

The house, the narrow patio, the bluestone steps and the blue brick floor, the flower beds planted with loquat and begonia, the originality of architectural layout and the changes of indoor and outdoor space environment are deeply imprinted in my mind. This is it. It's in the old house in my hometown.

Some memories made him determined to become an expert in ancient architecture and engaged in housing research in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties for a long time. Fortunately, our hometown can still find Professor Yin's childhood memories today. According to our several visits to Songjiang experts.

According to statistics, there are at least four or five hundred old houses with a history of more than 50 years and distinctive features in Songjiang in the old city.

Towns in the south of the Yangtze River often develop along the river, and houses are also built along the river.

Sound, even in front of the market. "According to Professor Yin, these old houses in Songjiang not only have the commonness of the ancient city of Jiangnan water town culture, but also have obvious Songjiang characteristics in the single shape and detailed practices of some buildings. Such as Yimen 8

In Suzhou and other places, the form of the word wall is only reflected in the plane, and the instrument door of Songjiang gentry house is also treated in the facade accordingly; Another example is the maple leaf archway, which often appears on the beam frame of Songjiang Louting, and is replaced by sparrows, which is not found anywhere else;

Others, such as the overlapping arrangement of suspension, the inclined design of the wind-volcano wall, the adduction of the external wall of the residential building along the river, and the stone steps are all located in the eaves; The forms of "borrowing heaven to make way for land" and "crossing the street" between narrow lanes have obvious regional characteristics. And Songjiang

In 1930s and 1940s, the unique Shikumen design in some old houses became the prototype of Shikumen Lane, which was popular in Shanghai.

Songjiang has a profound historical and cultural heritage, and many cultural celebrities have emerged in generations.

The stream is endless. During our visit to the old house, we will have the feeling of meeting history from time to time. In Shi Jia Lane, No.448 Zhongshan West Road, Songjiang Local Records Office, the only slate lane in Songjiang City, is still preserved.

Mr. Wang Yongshun, the official office, said that Yu Sulu, the father of Kunqu master Yu Zhenfei and a former garrison in jinshanwei, lived in this house. Yu Zhenfei's elegance and elegance are unique. Perhaps he was influenced by Songjiang culture since he was a child.

We were inseparable. An old house near 194 is the birthplace of Sang Tong, the former president of Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Although the original Nanmutang here moved to Songjiang Fangta Park, it still maintains the integrity of the old house.

The patchwork structure and original style, patchwork wind and fire walls, exquisite carved lintels and maple arches record the past years under the shadow of phoenix trees and plantains. Next to Zhangta Bridge in Dongwai Street is Mr. Lu Xun's essay Fujino Fairy.

The former residence of the "Ming adherents" mentioned in Sheng Zhong, a cultural celebrity who is proficient in agriculture, mulberry, literature, history and architecture, almost brought an encyclopedia of China's Ming culture to neighboring Japan.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xianghe, one of China's ancient 100 outstanding scientists, was demolished in recent years, leaving an irreparable regret.

old

Cities are declining, new cities are rising, and metabolism is an objective law. Urban development and ancient city protection are actually a worldwide problem. Chen Zhihua, a professor in Tsinghua University, a famous expert on cultural relics protection in China, once said a word.

If we look at the long-term, it may be most relevant to the reality we are facing at present: "When people are generally poor, the protection of the old city is not a big problem, because there is no power to change it. When you are rich, it's not a big problem, it's just that

There's always a way to invest a lot of money. The hardest thing is the intermediate state. Some money wants to improve and build, but there is not enough money to build and improve according to the ideal state. At this time, the old city is most likely to be destroyed. Some of our calendars

A famous historical and cultural city is in this embarrassing situation. Without historical information and cultural accumulation, it will eventually lose its value. Forged antiques can't get those values back. "

this time

Looking for Songjiang's former residence, the reporter has been considering the thorny topic of ancient city protection all the way. It should be noted that in recent years, celebrities from all walks of life in Songjiang have been sparing no effort to call for the protection of Songjiang's historical and cultural heritage, and the Songjiang District Government has also

Put this matter on the agenda. 1September 9, 1998, the third executive meeting of the district government decided that the first batch of 26 old buildings in Songjiang should be decorated with bronze medals of "District Cultural Relics Protection Unit" and "Registered Protection Unit".

The visit was strongly supported by the relevant leading departments in Songjiang, and it was decided to continue to add a number of cultural relics protection registration and protection units of about 10 on the basis of the existing old house.
