An ancient manor built in the middle of Ming Dynasty.
Who built Kang Million Manor? How did the name of this manor come from? In fact, "Kang Million" does not refer to a specific person, but to a family.
Kang Million Family started their business in Ming Dynasty, gradually prospered in the early Qing Dynasty, entered its heyday at its peak, and gradually declined after Xianfeng.
The whole Kang family, from the sixth ancestor Kang Shaojing to the eighteenth Kang Lanting, has been rich 12 generations for more than 400 years. There are many people 10 in history, such as Kang Dayong, Kang Daoping and Kang Hongyou, who are called "Kang Million", among which Kang Hongyou is the most representative.
So, why is Kang the most representative? This is because the origin of Kang Million is closely related to Kang Hongyou.
It is said that at the end of Guangxu, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu both went to Henan. At that time, there was a famine in Henan, and the local magistrate was unable to receive the two royal families, so he gave Kang Hong a ride.
Because Kang Hongyi didn't know whether Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu would go by sea or by land, he made two preparations. The first preparation is to build a palace in the East Blackstone Pass and open a pontoon bridge on the Luohe River.
The second-hand preparation is to build five dragon boats on the Luohe River in Gongxian County. In order to park these five big ships, five wharves were specially built on the east bank of Beiluoshui in Nanyaowan Village, commonly known as Longyao.
Because of the flood in Luohe at that time, Cixi didn't go by water. Therefore, after arriving in Gongyi, Henan, the five dragon boats built did not play a huge role. Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu only stayed in the palace built by Kang Hongyou for one night.
Before leaving the next day, Kang Hongyou donated 22,000 silver to Cixi through the eunuch Li around Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi was very happy when she saw the 22,000 silver donated by Kang Hongyou. She immediately said, "I didn't know there were millionaires here." Therefore, the title of "Kang Million" was created by Kang Hongyou to please Empress Dowager Cixi, and later became famous for the golden mouth of Empress Dowager Cixi.
Although the title of "Kang Million" came from the late Qing Dynasty, Kang Million Manor was built in the middle of Ming Dynasty. In the process of initial construction, a huge manor was built to reflect its identity.
The whole manor consists of 19, covering an area of about 240 mu. It is a magnificent building complex with solemn style, gorgeous elegance and integrating "antiquity, grandeur, elegance and beauty", and it is even called the feudal fortress of loess plateau in northern China from 17 to 18 century.
Moreover, in the process of building this manor, buildings in the Ming Dynasty, such as Sigou and Zhanggou, were gradually formed, followed by buildings in the Qing Dynasty with different functions, such as Longwogou, Zhaishang main residential area, south yard, board house area, shop, breeding area, ancestral temple, wood factory, shipyard, Jinguzhai, and other auxiliary buildings, such as steles, archways and gardens, forming a patchwork of buildings with mountains and water.
