Tang Jiajiu bends, kicking 130,000, 50,000, and 15 mothers. Grandson worshipped the drawing room for me.
These jingles handed down from the people are about the Tang family in Sanshui, an extremely luxurious family in the Qing Dynasty. If Xunyi, Shaanxi Province is a poor place in people's impression, then look at the Tangjia Courtyard, and you can get a glimpse of the exquisite life here from the carefully carved deep courtyard.
Tangjia Courtyard is located in Tangjia Village, 7 kilometers northeast of Xunyi County (formerly known as Sanshui). In the local area, every villager can tell you an anecdote about the Tang family.
According to the genealogy of Tang family, the ancestor of Sanshui Tang family is Tang Yingbi. As for when Tang moved here, it is impossible to verify, but his family was very famous in the early Qing Dynasty and was a famous big landlord. They are famous for their wealth, and their offices are located in more than 50 counties in Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Fujian provinces. It is said that they remitted money to China 13 province and donated the title of county magistrate. Horses go to other provinces without eating other people's grass, and people go to Sichuan without resting in other people's shops. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there were only 60 people in the Tang family, including 165 servants and 66 Ying Ge cars (equivalent to the current Red Flag cars). You can't leave the chariots and horses when you go out. The deacon of the whole hall makes way. That's awesome!
At present, there are only two courtyards and three courtyards in Tangjia Courtyard, but in the heyday of Tangjia, there were 87 courtyards and more than 2,700 rooms here. The Tang family began to build this Tang family courtyard in the fifth year of Daoguang (1825). Every day, more than 340 blacksmiths, carpenters, painters and general workers work alone. By the first year of Xianfeng (185 1), the project was divided into 1 1, and the number of various workers increased to more than 3,200. It was not until the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868), which lasted for 43 years, that it basically came to an end. There are theaters, rockeries, flower pavilions and fish ponds. In the yard, all the doors and windows are engraved with various patterns. There are Eight Immortals, Twenty-four Filial Pieties and Corner Columns on the shrines and partition walls, and fishing paintings of Zhou Muwang's Eight Horses and Jiang Ziya on the walls, as well as peony, plum bamboo, chrysanthemum and Eclipta prostrata. These sculptures are lifelike and have different patterns, giving people a comfortable and elegant feeling.
The buildings in the Tang family are all made of wood, stone and brick. Most of the wood is cut from Wanshou ditch dozens of miles away. It is said that a stone mountain in Wanshou ditch has been cut down. The craftsmen invited experts from inside and outside the province. Each house is made of polished bricks and finely carved stones depicting dragons and phoenixes, and the joints between bricks are all watered with lime and glutinous rice juice. The building embodies the unique style of combining the quadrangle in the north with the garden art in Suzhou and Hangzhou. All the bricks are polished with water, and one person can only grind two bricks a day. If the brick is uneven, it must be re-polished. Brick and tile, stone and wood show dignity and luxury. When the compound was completed, the Tang family specially built a big theater and sang Congratulations for more than three months.
Everything that the Tang family enjoyed was bought or plundered at a high price by any means. All kinds of furniture at home are nanmu and matte paint, which still shine after 100 years.
From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, this big landlord family, which once had great wealth, gradually collapsed in extreme profligacy. The Tangjia Courtyard has been turned into a folk museum, which is a provincial key cultural relic protection unit and a rare well-preserved ancient residence in our province. Most descendants of the Tang family live in Tangjia Village and work hard.
After more than a hundred years' vicissitudes, the old days of Tang courtyard still exist, leaving only a few rooms in No.87 courtyard to bask in the sun alone, dragging lonely long shadows, accompanied by moss, and looking into the further time and space.
In the long rolling history, what turns up is the spray, and what sinks is always the sediment. Wandering in this deep house, touching the old wall and feeling the century-old history of this ancient house compound, people stop and linger, some are daydreaming, some are admiring, some are lamenting, some are remembering, and perhaps there is endless meditation.
The popularity of the TV series "Qiao Family Courtyard" has added some color to Shanxi merchants in history. While people appreciate the exquisite Ming and Qing architecture, they also bring greater benefits to Shanxi's tourism. In fact, in our Guanzhong area and the downtown area of An, there are also existing Ming and Qing buildings that are comparable to and even more luxurious and exquisite than the Qiao Family Courtyard. Still waiting for the glory of history in obscurity.
The five northern counties in Xianyang have always given people a sense of poverty, but in Xunyi County (formerly known as Sanshui), which is still remote today, there once lived a Tang family in Sanshui, which was more luxurious than the Qing emperor, and the wealth of the Tang family was well known. Nowadays, in Tangjia Village, seven kilometers northeast of Xunyi County, the old people say that the Tang family's past is simply more luxurious than that of the emperor.
Tang Zhongjing, the fourth generation descendant of the Tang family, was based on agriculture and made a fortune in business. His shops are located in more than 50 counties in 13 province, with more than 90 commercial streets. It is said that money was remitted all over the country 13 provinces and donated to the magistrate. Horses go to other provinces and don't eat other people's grass.
In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, there were 87 courtyards and more than 2,700 rooms. In the fifth year of Daoguang (AD 1825), the Tang family began to build the Tang family courtyard. Until the seventh year of Tongzhi (A.D. 1868), which lasted for 43 years, more than 340 blacksmiths, carpenters and painters participated in the construction of the compound every day. By the first year of Xianfeng (A.D. 185 1), the number of craftsmen had increased to more than 3,200.
This big landlord family with great wealth gradually went to extinction from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. The Tang Courtyard has now been turned into a folk museum, including two surviving adjacent courtyards and five other courtyards, 150 second-class rooms, a mausoleum, a number of precious cultural relics and many plaques and couplets worth watching. Tangjia Courtyard is a provincial key cultural relic protection unit, and it is also one of the rare well-preserved ancient dwellings in our province.
