What are the traditional customs and cultural connotations of Zhan Family Courtyard?

On the 18th, the reporter came to Shangtong Village, Zhongxin Town, Pucheng County, where the Zhanjia Courtyard is the largest preserved ancient residential group in the county. "Blue brick small tile horse head wall, cloister hanging lattice window". Shangtong Zhanjia Courtyard is a typical Huizhou-style building. Walking here, the buildings are stacked, and the winding cloister is located in HeJun.

Shangtong Zhan Family Courtyard was built in the Qing Dynasty by three brothers, Zhan Xianzhang, Zhan Xianba and Zhan Xianfa, more than 1 years ago. According to the genealogy of Zhan's family, Zhan Xianba was rewarded for suppressing the peasant uprising, and his family was rich. Zhan Xianzhang and Zhan Xianfa were also big rich men who had read books and were good at management. At that time, the whole compound covered an area of more than 1, square meters and more than 1 rooms, which was the most magnificent house in the local area.

stepping into a gatehouse in Zhan's family courtyard, the scenery is full of harvest. Painted panes, winter melon beams, the house is magnificent and exquisite. The hall and the wing are surrounded by a patio, from which the sky can be seen, and the vast sky meets here, and the swallows pass through the hall, which is quiet and quiet. Passing through the front hall and across the back hall, houses are lined up in a maze.

Walking out of the courtyard, I came to the Zhan Ancestral Hall in front of the courtyard. In the original hall, the ancestor of Zhan and the Southern Song Dynasty philosopher Zhan Tiren were enshrined. Zhan Tiren is a student of Zhu Xi and a teacher of Zhen Dexiu. At that time, Zhen Dexiu once asked the officials about the method of handing over to the people. Tijen said, "You are just devoted to peace of mind, and you have a clear conscience if you are devoted to it, but you are unbiased if you are calm."

Today, there is no ancestral hall, only the main gate, on which there is a stone tablet inscribed by Kang Youwei. According to historical records, in 1926, Zhan's family went to Shanghai to ask Kang Youwei for an inscription, and the reward was 2 yuan. However, the descendants of Zhan recalled that the words "Zhan's ancestral hall, Bing Yinxia, Kang Youwei's book" were 1 oceans per word, but only 11 oceans. How much money to run a pen is insignificant now, but it has become a talk for the descendants of Zhan family to entertain themselves.

"I was born here and have lived here all my life." In the west wing of Zhan Xianba's courtyard, 97-year-old Zhan Xinghua leafed through old photos-he was 22 years old that year and went to Huangpu Military Academy alone. After graduation, he was assigned to be a platoon leader in a company in Jiangxi War Zone. Four years later, due to injury, he returned to his hometown and lived in Zhan's compound.

Time flies. Now there are more than ten families left in the once prosperous Zhan family compound, all of them are old people, and young people don't want to live here anymore. "When we are old, the compound must no longer be inhabited." Uncle Zhan said. A few years ago, his eldest son and his family built a new house near the courtyard and moved away, leaving an empty courtyard. A wooden door read "Goodbye Zhan" and the iron bolts on it were rusty. Nowadays, the old courtyard is thick with dust and cobwebs. With the passage of time, it will become more shabby.

Zhan Buren is 76 years old and his grandfather is Zhan Xianfa. Zhan Buren's three daughters went out, and those who stayed in the village moved to the new house. Only he and his wife still stuck to it. On the night of May 3, Zhan Buren woke up in his sleep, heard a strange sound in the hall, got up and looked, but found nothing. The next day, he saw the woodcarving window grilles in front of the hall missing, and realized that they had been stolen last night, which was a great pity for the lost antiques.

"Shangtong Zhanjia Courtyard is a county-level cultural relic unit, but it is difficult to protect it now." Lu Zunhua, secretary of Shangtong Village, said that many of today's Zhan's courtyards are in disrepair, unattended, stolen, destroyed or collapsed. The repair cost of ancient dwellings is quite high, and there is no special fund in this area in the village. At present, they ask local residents not to demolish and build ancient houses in order to maintain the status quo as much as possible, but the repair work has been unable to start. After a hundred years of vicissitudes, Shangtong Zhanjia Courtyard is in urgent need of the support of relevant departments to continue to write the legend of ancient houses.
