Comments on Kaiping Diaolou

Kaiping Diaolou is a combination of local culture and foreign culture in China, which was mainly built in the 20th century. But its history can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.

Kaiping County is located in the south-central part of Guangdong Province. Chikan Town used to be called Tuotuo. It used to be a wetland with reeds and water plants. The first person who settled here was Lu Angong. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1664), the society was in turmoil and bandits often harassed the people. In order to protect the safety of villagers, Guan Zirui, the fourth son of Lu 'an Gong, built Ruiyun Building in Jingtouli Village. This building is very strong and has two functions: flood control and theft prevention. When floods break out or thieves harass, villagers in Jingtouli Village and neighboring Sanmenli Village will take refuge in Ruiyun Building. With the passage of time, the population of these two villages is increasing, and the capacity of buildings is limited. In case of emergency, it is always crowded. In order to ensure the safety of himself and his family, Guan Sheng, the great-grandson of Liu 'an Gong who lives in Sanmenli Village, decided to build a bigger and stronger building in the village.

This building was built in the early Qing Dynasty, facing south. It is about ten meters high and has three floors. The building covers an area of about 152 square meters, which is relatively large. The walls of this building are all made of a big red brick. The brick is 33cm long,15cm wide, 8cm thick, and the wall thickness is 93cm, nearly 1m thick!

It does cost a lot of money to build such a building, so in the middle of it, Guan Sheng found that the money was not enough to finish the building. It is said that his wife Tan saw this scene and took out her own private money, and the building was built. For good luck, Guan Shengren named this building "Ying Long Building".

Seen from the plane, the building is rectangular, but all four corners stand out. There are holes in the four corners of each floor, and a small door with an arched roof is opened on the facade of the ground floor, and a small square window is opened on both sides of the door. From the plane, each floor is divided into the central hall and the east and west wing rooms. From the modeling point of view, the roof is a traditional hard mountain roof, the roof is very small, and there are no eaves before and after.

Although Long Ta is ugly, it is the reason of Kaiping Diaolou.

Sanmenli and its nearby villages are low-lying and houses are easily flooded. Sometimes there are floods several times a year, and the people are miserable. According to historical records, during the two catastrophic floods in Shen Jia (A.D. 1884) and Wu Shen (A.D. 1908) during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, almost all the houses in each village were flooded, but all the villagers who hid in Ying Long Building escaped the danger and survived. As Ruiyun Building has long been destroyed, Kaiping people are famous for the defensive function of Ying Long Building. People respect and admire architecture, but building such a building is too expensive for ordinary people to bear. Therefore, when copying, it is often only a few villages to build a watchtower.

In addition to defending against floods, defending against bandits is another reason for building towers. Kaiping is located between Xinhui, Taishan, Enping and Xinxing counties. Before the establishment of the county, it was always a four-elephant area, and the social order was chaotic. The local government hoped to establish the county to ensure peace. Kaiping County was founded in the sixth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1649), so Kaiping County has only a history of more than 300 years. Although the county government has been established, it is not easy to ensure peace in the world.

Looking through the records of Kaiping county, we can see that the function of watchtowers is not only to prevent floods, but also to prevent bandits from harassing them. In 2 1 year, Kaiping County Records recorded the story of "Fengfulou".

In the early years of Qing dynasty, thieves were rampant, not only breaking into houses at night, killing, raping and robbing, but also kidnapping and extorting money. On one occasion, Xu Long's wife was taken up the mountain by bandits, who sent a message for ransom. Xu Long's son, Xu Yi, quickly prepared the money and prepared to discuss the redemption with the gangsters. At this time, Xu Long's wife secretly sent a message: "Mother doesn't have to redeem it, but this gold is enough to serve her father!" That night, Xu Long's wife fell off a cliff and died. Xu Yi built a "father's building" according to his mother's wishes.

Dynasty changes often bring social unrest. After the Revolution of 1911, due to the separatist regime of warlords, wars were frequent, and bandits seized the opportunity to rob people. One night in December of the 11th year of the Republic of China, a large group of bandits looted Kaiping Middle School in Chikan. The searchlight of the nearby Yingcun watchtower suddenly lit up, and the surrounding township groups heard the news and intercepted it in time, and rescued the principal and 17 students.

This incident caused a sensation in Kaiping, and overseas Chinese were also very surprised when they learned it. They think the watchtower really plays a role in preventing bandits. So they would rather scrimp and save, but also raise money to remit to their hometown to build a watchtower. Kaiping people suddenly began to build towers, people constantly summed up their experience in using them, and overseas Chinese introduced advanced western architectural technology, blending Chinese and western, and combining Chinese and foreign.

The buildings of Kaiping Diaolou generally occupy a small area, and people pursue height, which is convenient for overlooking and shooting at night. The structure of the watchtower is generally made of raw soil materials. Adobe walls are divided into adobe walls and masonry walls. Adobe walls are built quickly. As long as the adobe is dry, it can be built from the bottom to the top at one time. In order to prolong the life of adobe, people often spread lime sand on the surface of adobe wall first, and then spread a layer of cement, which can prevent rain erosion and bullet shooting.

The version of the wall is a concrete material mixed with yellow mud, lime, sand and brown sugar water, and rammed into the wall with two large boards. The rammed earth wall of Kaiping Diaolou is not thick, generally more than one foot, which is thinner than Fujian Tulou. The firmness of concrete is equivalent to that of low-grade cement wall, and its tensile strength is greater. However, this kind of ramming method is time-consuming, and the upper section cannot be built until the first wall is dry, so it is unlikely that the giant tower will be completed within one year.

Most of the walls are adobe materials, and some of them are reinforced concrete. But this kind of building is too expensive, so it is rarely seen. At that time, cement was imported, so it was called "red mud" Cement is made of wooden barrels more than one meter high. The ground of the watchtower consists of reinforced concrete floor and wooden floor. Some reinforced concrete floors are terrazzo, bright and beautiful, and the bottom is paved with square glazed tiles, which is very flat. The stair handrails of some watchtowers are exquisitely made, showing European style.

The inner space of the watchtower is generally small. Although there are windows on each floor, there are few windows. Therefore, the watchtower is only used as an emergency. Once that happens, all the people or the whole village will hide in the watchtower. At dawn, everyone went back to the bungalow to rest. In that era when thieves were rampant, young people were stationed on the watchtower to take care of the guns, bronze bells, sirens, searchlights and other preventive devices on it.

There are many shapes of watchtowers, but most of them are square or rectangular tower buildings with a circle of corridors or balconies and several buckets on the top floor. There are gun holes on all sides of the top floor, and some floors have long gun holes that can be shot down, so that gangsters can't get close to the watchtower.

Except for the top floor, all floors have small windows, with vertical iron bars inside and imported steel windows with a thickness of more than three centimeters outside. Small windows are used for ventilation and lighting on weekdays. In case of bandits, close the window sash made of steel plate, and the outside is flat, so that bullets can't get in. There is a small door on the ground floor of the watchtower. The doors are all made of steel plates. After being chained, outsiders can't open it or pry it open. And there are guns on it to shoot, so gangsters can't get close.

The lower part of the watchtower is roughly the same in shape, but different in size and height. Large tower, each floor is equivalent to three bays, or even more; Small diaolou, each floor is only equivalent to a half-opened room. The tallest watchtower is the south tower of Chikan Township, which is as high as seven stories, while the short watchtower is only three stories, which is not much higher than ordinary buildings.

The shape change of the watchtower mainly lies in the top of the tower. From the existing 1400 buildings in Kaiping, the shapes of roof buildings can be summarized as 100, but the more beautiful ones are Chinese roofs, mixed Chinese and western roofs, ancient Roman mountain flower roofs, domes, American castle roofs, European and American villa roofs, courtyard balcony roofs and so on. Kaiping Diaolou is located in Kaiping urban area, dotted with diaolou, with more than a dozen buildings in a village and at least 23 buildings in urban and rural areas. From Shuikou to Lily, from Tangkou to Qi Gang and Chishui, it's dozens of kilometers across, which is spectacular. These towers are the witness of Kaiping's political, economic and cultural development. They not only reflect the history of the people in the hometown of overseas Chinese who struggled hard to defend their motherland, but also are a living museum of modern architecture and a unique art gallery. The rise of Kaiping Diaolou is closely related to Kaiping's geographical environment and past social security. Kaiping is low-lying with dense river networks. In the past, the water conservancy was in disrepair for a long time, and every time there was a typhoon and rainstorm, there was always the worry of being flooded. In addition, the territory under its jurisdiction used to be the remote border of Xinhui, Taishan, Enping and Xinxing counties, which has always been known as "caring for the four" and the social order is rather chaotic. Therefore, in the early Qing Dynasty, villagers built watchtowers to prevent floods and bandits. There are many kinds of towers in Kaiping. According to building materials, there are four kinds: reinforced concrete building, blue brick building, mud building and stone building. Kaiping Diaolou has the historical function of preventing theft and waterlogging, anti-Japanese stronghold and underground activities of the * * * production party. Gigi Lai Village belongs to Tangkou Town, Kaiping City, located in the east of Kaiping City 12km, and in the hilly plain of seawater valley, a tributary town of Tanjiang River. The living pattern and environmental protection of villagers are intact and the natural environment is beautiful. Ponds and lotus ponds are scattered among them, which are in harmony with residential houses and many watchtowers. There are 63 farmers in the village, 179, and 248 overseas Chinese, mainly in the United States and Canada. The villagers are simple and generous, optimistic and open, and have a leisurely life. There are 9 towers and 6 villas in the village, namely Longsheng Mansion, Leisure Villa, Qiuanju Road, Juan Mansion, Yaoguang Villa, Huan Yun Mansion, Zhu Lin Mansion, Zhen 'an Mansion, Shi Ming Mansion, Anlu, Yinong Mansion, Ye Sheng Mansion, Guan Sheng Mansion, Sheng Qiao Mansion and Zhan Lu Mansion. The earliest Longsheng Building was built in the eighth year of the Republic of China (19 19), and the latest Zhan Lu Building was built in the thirty-seventh year of the Republic of China (1948). Among them, the most exquisite Shi Ming building is six stories high, 1 is a hall, the second to fourth floors are living rooms, the fifth floor is a place for ancestor worship, there are colonnades and four-corner cantilever towers, and there is a hexagonal observation pavilion in the middle of the six-story platform. The furniture, living facilities, production tools and daily necessities in the building are complete, rich and interesting, which witnessed the culture and life of overseas Chinese at that time. The towers with different styles and patchwork in Gigi Lai Village are the representatives of Kaiping towers in their heyday. Pancun Lantern Festival, also known as Dance Lantern Festival. It is held on the 13th day of the first lunar month every year.

Guide words of Kaiping Diaolou in Guangdong 1

Hello everyone! I am your tour guide. Today, we are going to Kaiping Diaolou.

There are many kinds of Kaiping watchtowers, but their appearances are basically the same. According to building materials, it can be divided into stone buildings, rammed earth buildings, brick buildings and concrete buildings.

The walls of stone buildings are made of formally processed stones, while others are made of natural stones stacked freely and bonded with mud. But at present, there are only 10 stone buildings in Kaiping. Rammed soil is built in hilly areas and made of soil. This kind of watchtower is called "mud building" or "yellow mud building" locally. Although it has been eroded by decades of wind and rain, it is still strong. There are now 100 reserved seats. Brick and tile house owners should be in hilly areas, and there are three kinds of bricks used:

1, red brick in Ming dynasty,

2. Local blue bricks in the Republic of China,

3. Modern red brick.

There are nearly 249 brick buildings in Kaiping today. Concrete buildings are mainly located in plain and hilly areas, which were designed and built by overseas Chinese at that time by absorbing the different characteristics of buildings around the world, and their shapes can best reflect the architectural styles of China and the West. There are 1474 concrete buildings in Kaiping, which is the largest in Kaiping Diaolou.

This is the tower group of Gigi Lai village we are going to. Please take your luggage and get off in line. At first glance, there are several watchtowers standing on the plain. Listen, everybody, this watchtower is enough. Like a bunker. Everyone has been to this wooden bridge, so be careful not to fall. Look, the autumn red dragonfly parked by the bridge is flapping its wings gently. How beautiful! Don't scratch, son, they are beneficial insects.

The watchtower we want to see has arrived. This watchtower is temporarily closed, so you can take some photos before you go.

Look, this is the Shi Ming Tower, the most beautiful of the 15 towers. It took three years to build. Fang Runwen, the owner of Shi Ming Building, is from Gigi Lai Village. I made a living and opened a restaurant in America in my early years. When he got rich, he spent huge sums of money to return to his hometown and built a watchtower, just like many people in Gigi Lai village. Fang Runwen has married three wives, namely Wu, Liang and Yang. Now, a large photo of Fang Runwen and his three wives hangs in the middle of the first floor of Shi Ming Building. Look, the photo is framed in Phnom Penh. In the photo, Mr. Fang Runwen wears glasses, a tie, a suit and tie, and is full of foreign flavor. On the right is Wu, on the right is his second wife Liang, and on the left is Fang Runwen's third wife Yang. The third wife is European, and everyone in the village says she is very beautiful.

Shi Ming Mansion has a spectacular appearance and is a six-story reinforced concrete structure. Except for blue bricks, iron branches, iron plates and cement are all imported from abroad, cement is imported from Britain and iron gates are imported from Germany. The middle and lower parts are simple in structure. The first floor you just visited is the hall, and the second to fourth floors are rooms.

Look at the antlers on the wall. They are used as clothes hangers. Antlers are attached to the wall on each floor, and a mirror is placed opposite to facilitate dressing.

Pay attention to the windows of Shi Ming Building. The windows of all towers are of this structure. The window has three layers, the innermost layer is glass, which can remind the host that bandits are coming. When robbers climb in through the window, they will break the glass. The middle layer is a steel frame to prevent bandits from coming in; The outermost layer is a solid iron plate, which can stop bullets.

More complex and luxurious than 5 floors. The fifth floor is a place for ancestor worship. Look, the spirit tablet of their ancestors is marble, sealed with glass in the middle and wrapped with gold outside. Let's look at the sixth floor. There is a lookout pavilion in the middle of the platform on the sixth floor. Can you see a robber coming? In order to prevent bandits from looting, Shiminglou also has a hole with a big inside and a small outside. Some open on the wall and shoot outside the courtyard, while others open on the ground and shoot at bandits who break into the building.

How clever people were then! The watchtower is the crystallization of their wisdom and sweat and the best place for them to resist the enemy.

Brief introduction of tourist attractions in Kaiping Diaolou, Guangdong;

History of Kaiping Diaolou

1842 after the opium war, large-scale fighting broke out in Kaiping. At this time, it happened that western countries recruited Chinese workers to develop gold mines and build railways along the coast of China, and a large number of Kaiping people left their homes for their livelihood, and Kaiping gradually became the hometown of overseas Chinese. People who return home dressed in fine clothes do "three things" when they return home: buy land, build a house and marry. So in the 1920s and 1930s, the peak of overseas Chinese building came into being.

However, at that time, China society was in chaos, thieves were rampant, Kaiping was low-lying, and the river network was densely covered, and people were often worried about flooding. The remote border areas of Xinhui, Taishan, Enping and Xinxing counties under their jurisdiction have always been known as "four cares" and the social order is rather chaotic.

The watchtower with remarkable defensive function came into being.

During the construction of Kaiping Diaolou, various foreign architectural styles were imitated consciously or unconsciously. Most of them absorbed the style of ancient Rome, and some of them adopted the style of medieval Gothic architecture in Western Europe, including colonnade and platform. Castle-style and hybrid style can best show the charm of western ancient Hunan architecture, which is the pillar decoration of the watchtower. Kaiping's carved building is a collection of various classical pillars, which are varied. In addition to the classical columns, there are also square columns and pilasters with European Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles, which are also fully utilized.

There were more than 3,000 watchtowers in this city at the peak of its construction, but they were abandoned for many reasons. There are 65,438+0,466 watchtowers in different towns. Among them, Shuikou Yueshan, Shagang, Tangkou, Xiangang and Lily are widely distributed.

Kaiping Diaolou is a unique local architectural community in Kaiping, the hometown of overseas Chinese. It was founded in the late Ming Dynasty and perfected in the early 20th century. There are 0/833 existing buildings/kloc, which combine the classical styles of ancient Greece, Rome, Arabia and China, and spread all over Kaiping urban and rural areas, from Shuikou to Lily, from Tangkou to Xianggang and Chishui, extending for tens of kilometers vertically and horizontally, with Tangkou, Chikan, Lily and Chishui as the boundaries. This is a living museum of modern architecture, a unique art gallery.

Kaiping Diaolou was built in the early Qing Dynasty to prevent floods and bandits. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, bandits concentrated in Kaiping area, causing a large number of tragedies, and even county magistrates were captured. 1922 12 In February, bandits robbed Kaiping Middle School and were illuminated by searchlights in Yingcun Diaolou. The township group rushed to the rescue in time and rescued the principals and students of 17. This incident made the local people aware of the role of the watchtower. Overseas Chinese scrimped and saved enough money to build towers in their hometown, gradually forming a scale of nearly 3,000. There are 1833 towers.

Most towers are the same, but they are different in size and height. The tall one has seven floors and the short one has three floors. Roof shapes are different, including Chinese and western styles, ancient Roman styles, American castle styles and European and American styles.

Guide words of Kaiping Diaolou in Guangdong Province 4

Kaiping, Guangdong is located in the southwest of the Pearl River Delta, which is 46 kilometers away from Guangzhou 1 10 and Jiangmen in the northeast. It is located in the center of Wuyi in Jiangmen and is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. For hundreds of years, the prosperity and development of overseas Chinese culture has created the unique architectural style and folk customs of overseas Chinese hometown.

Since the Ming Dynasty, Kaiping, which is located between Xinhui, Taishan, Enping and Xinxing counties, has been a "four-no-care" place, where bandits are rampant and public security is chaotic. In addition, there are many rivers, and floods occur frequently during typhoons and rainstorms. After the Opium War, China was in turmoil. At this time, there was a gold rush in the United States, Canada and Australia, which required a lot of labor. In many areas of Kaiping, the bottom people are either "selling pigs", or leaving their homes to work as contract workers, or they have embarked on an unknown road to the end of the world in the form of family migration. Since then, many people have never heard from them again. However, the China people's complex of "returning home with clothes on" and "returning to the roots with fallen leaves" makes the surviving "Golden Mountain Bo" first think of sending money home or going back to China in person to handle "three things": buying land, building a house and getting married.

"Jinshanbo" guided craftsmen to build their "ideal home" at the same time, according to the impression fragments of the buildings in the country where they lived and the postcards printed on the "Puska" (called "doll paper" by villagers) sent from abroad.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, soldiers and thieves were rampant in Kaiping, so Jinshan Bo had to consider building a building with both residential and defensive functions. Therefore, Kaiping Diaolou combines the traditional local architectural art of China with the western architectural style, and becomes a combination of "Golden Mountain Bo" memory and the imagination of local craftsmen.

In its heyday, there were more than 3,000 watchtowers in Kaiping, and there has always been a saying among the people that there is no village without watchtowers. The existing watchtowers 1833 are mainly located in Tangkou, Lily, Chikan, Qi Gang and Changsha.
