Sweet Lake Park. Baidu map information shows that Quxi Sweet Lake Park is suitable for running. Quxi is located at the west gate of Wenzhou, which is known as the ancient town in southern Zhejiang, with a total area of 35.34 square kilometers, 3.7 kilometers away from the city center/kloc-0, and adjacent to Guoxi Street in the east.
Who knows what Quxi Old Street says?
Quxi Street in Ouhai echoes with Zeya Silian Laizhi Workshop, a national cultural protection unit, and is an important part of Wenzhou screen paper production history. However, due to the need of water conservancy construction, some old houses were demolished according to the planning requirements-
Zhang Shiduo, a retired teacher in Quxi Town, ouhai district, and many other residents reported to the newspaper's mobile editing room that the Quxi River running through the town needs to be widened, and some old houses in Quxi Street with a history of hundreds of years will be demolished, calling on the government and relevant departments to formulate a policy of killing two birds with one stone, so as not to let the precious old streets suffer man-made damage while building water conservancy projects.
Last week, the reporter came to Quxi Town for an in-depth interview.
Many old houses are about to be demolished.
The reporter passed through the bustling downtown area of Quxi Town and went up the Quxi River to find this quiet Quxi Street.
Quxi Street across Quxi River is an ancient bridge. The two ends of the bridge are called the upper section and the lower section of the bridge respectively. The street is shaped like a "7", with a total length of about 500 meters and a width of only about 3 meters. On both sides of the old street are old houses with wooden structures, mostly with two floors. The first floor is full of shops, and all kinds of lifelike birds, animals and opera characters are carved on the lintels and wooden beams. Walking in the street, a quaint smell comes to the nose.
As can be seen from the words "century-old shop" on the door, these shops contain a long history. There are few pedestrians in the street, and only a few shops are still open. The oldest are tofu shops, noodle shops and cotton shops. "Jinji" Tofu Shop is a century-old shop. Jin Minghao is the third generation head of this century-old shop. He is 45 years old. He said that the stone mill for making tofu has been used for nearly a hundred years, and the tofu produced by the workshop is in short supply every day. Many people come to his workshop early every morning to order tofu.
There are several houses behind the short house. In addition to the basic pattern, ruins can be seen everywhere. According to local villagers, these courtyards belong to former paper shop owners, and most of them are connected with shops, forming a unique architectural pattern of "front shop backyard". Before the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, it was once a famous silk screen trading market.
At the easternmost end of the lower section of Quxi Street Bridge and the upper section of the bridge near the river, the reporter found that there were more than 20 old houses with red seals on their door panels, which read "Wenzhou South Demolition Office". An elastic cotton shop at the eastern end of the lower section of the bridge has been included in the demolition scope, and the owner Jin Laobo is adding cotton to an old wood machine. He said: "I have lived here for 60 years, and I really don't want to move suddenly."
Many local villagers believe that widening the river course is a good thing, but the demolition of the old street is not worth the loss. I hope to protect this old street while widening the river course.
Widening the river course is imminent.
"The sealed house will be demolished soon, and an ancient street will disappear." The locals all regret it.
The reporter learned from the Chengnan Demolition Office that they were entrusted by the construction unit to handle all demolition matters and will resettle the relocated households in accordance with relevant documents. A person in charge surnamed Xu told reporters that there is indeed a contradiction between widening the river and protecting the old street. However, because the old street is not included in the cultural relics protection unit, the demolition does not need the approval of the cultural relics department.
Quxi River originates from the depths of the mountains and is formed by the confluence of six streams. During the rainstorm season, the river swells and the low-lying areas on both sides of the river are easily flooded.
According to statistics, before 1949, there were 49 floods in Quxi River. Since 1949, there have been nearly 20 floods in Quxi River. Especially on September 4th, the rainstorm 1999, the 24-hour precipitation was as high as 3 12mm, and the river surged, resulting in the death of 2 1 person in Quxi town, the collapse of 35 houses in/kloc-0, and the economic loss reached 600 million yuan, among which Quxi street also suffered certain losses.
In recent years, due to the construction waste landfill and the rock deposition washed down from the upstream, the river channel has become narrower and the river bed has become shallower. Every time it rains and storms, the Quxi River is full and the people are miserable. Therefore, the local government attaches great importance to the river widening project.
The planned investment of this widening project is120,000 yuan, which has entered the demolition stage, and all the projects will be completed as planned in 2007. The overall flood control capacity of Quxi River is less than once every five years, and it will reach once every 20 years after regulation. Among them, Quxi Street is one of the main reconstruction areas.
The reporter learned from ouhai district Water Conservancy Bureau that the Quxi River widening scheme was designed by them. At the beginning of the design, it was purely from the perspective of flood control and safety, without considering the protection of the old street. Because Quxi Street was not included in the cultural relics protection unit, the personnel of the cultural relics unit were not invited to participate in the joint trial and demonstration stage of the scheme. In other words, they don't know how important it is to protect old streets.
This old street once had a glorious history.
According to the memories of the local elderly, Quxi Street was most famous for its paper shops from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the 1950s and 1960s. The deep house compound behind Hu Changji, Lin Zhai, Mao Zhai and other old streets is the best witness. They represent different times and bear the heavy local history and culture.
Chen Laobo, who has lived in Quxi Street for more than 60 years, witnessed the changes of Quxi Street with his own eyes, leaving him with a deeper memory than the paper patterns on the ancient street. According to his memory, the merchants in this ancient street were crowded and bustling at that time. He was not a street resident at first, but has been engaged in selling screen paper for many years. His workshop is on a mountain, five or six kilometers away from the ancient street. Every morning, he goes to the old street with a screen paper hanging with lanterns, and at dusk, he goes back to the mountain with endless screen paper and lanterns.
Hu Changji is the most representative paper shop in Quxi Old Street. Now, the basic pattern still exists. In the middle of the floor, there is a well for conveying mesh paper up and down, and upstairs is a warehouse. In addition, although the basic outlines of ancient buildings such as Lin Zhai and Mao Zhai still exist, it is a pity that they are damaged to varying degrees.
According to historical records, Quxi Town was called Shen 'ao before the Southern Song Dynasty, belonging to Huichang Town in the Qing Dynasty, and was later changed to eighteen departments of Jianya Township. It was called Quxi Town in the Republic of China and later renamed sanxi town. After liberation, it was named Quxi Town. From the Ming Dynasty to the 1960s, Quxi Old Street has always been a distribution center for screen paper. Every day, paper farmers from Ruian Tiger Fish and Ouhai Zeya pick screen paper and sell it to Quxi Street. Paper companies were then sold to Shanghai, North Jiangsu, Northeast China, Taiwan Province Province and other places, and once exported to Southeast Asia. It is understood that due to screen paper, Shanghai still retains the road name of Quxi Street. 1In July, 939, the Kuomintang government's "paper sales office" once stopped buying screen paper, which caused strong dissatisfaction among paper farmers and caused the famous "Paper Mountain Riot" in southern Zhejiang, and finally forced the Kuomintang government to resume the free trade of screen paper.
Since the 1960s, Quxi Old Street, as a commercial center, has gradually faded out of the rivers and lakes due to the changes in the purchase and sale system of Zeya screen paper and the rise of modern industry and commerce. According to the staff of ouhai district Wenbo Museum, there is no physical proof of the formation time of Quxi Old Street, but according to Zeya's papermaking history, the old street should have a history of more than 200 years.
Quxi's unique local flavor "the first day of February" folk market originally originated from this old street and has a history of more than 200 years. During the folk market, vendors, customers, tourists, relatives and friends in Wenzhou urban area and surrounding cities and counties are in an endless stream, and tourists are everywhere. Quxi Old Street is the most lively place. The streets are filled with all kinds of bamboo and wood farm tools, bronze ironware and various daily necessities for tourists to enjoy and buy. The staff of the District Culture and Art Museum believe that the formation of Quxi Club is closely related to the distribution of screen paper. During the prosperity of the paper industry, the Expo was once a grand meeting for paper farmers.
Qi Jun, a famous 80-year-old woman writer living in the United States, is a famous prose master in the international literary world. Her original name was Pan Xizhen, and 19 17 was born in Quxi Town. Her essay "Herb Memories of Childhood" tells the scene in Quxi Old Street during the Spring Festival: killing pigs, dusting, smashing rice cakes, offering sacrifices to stoves, drinking New Year's wine, lucky money, celebrating the New Year and refreshing the glorious history of the old street, which can be fully confirmed from these aspects.
Old houses don't have to be demolished.
Many cultural relics and folklore experts interviewed by the reporter believe that if Quxi Old Street is demolished, there will be no protection and excavation of the old street.
In May this year, ouhai district Wenbo Museum sent a special person to inspect Quxi Old Street, sorted out the data of Quxi Old Street and reported it to the district government, suggesting that Quxi Old Street be listed as a "district-level historical and cultural block".
In June this year, relevant experts also talked about the protection of Quxi Old Street at a symposium on the protection of old streets and the transformation of old cities held by the Municipal Planning Bureau.
The "Hundred Alleys and Hundreds of Households Benefiting the People Project" launched by our city in the first half of this year is a project aimed at protecting historical blocks. At present, some old neighborhoods that are not listed as cultural relics protection units have been properly protected. Lucheng District plans to renovate 8 to 10 historic streets every year in three years. By 2007, it will basically form a pattern and initially restore the style of the old city. Longwan District will take Yongchangbao and Yongzhong Ancient Town as the pilot, and gradually form Yongchang Historical Street and Yongzhong Water Town Ancient Street. According to the requirements of this project, relevant parties in ouhai district will take Quxi Old Street and Wutian Old Street as the pilot in the next three years to build a characteristic mountain village and water town.
Shi Chengzhe, director of ouhai district Cultural Relics Museum, believes that Quxi Old Street is the only physical relic of a modern market town in Wenzhou. As the only well-preserved old neighborhood among the three distribution centers of Wenzhou Paper Screen, it echoes Zeya Silian Paper Workshop, a national cultural relic protection unit with profound paper mountain. It is an important part of Wenzhou's paper screen history, which has immeasurable historical, cultural and artistic value.
Regarding the protection of ancient streets, Lai, director of the Landscape Institute of the Municipal Architectural Design and Research Institute, said that there is no contradiction between restoration and development. To protect historical sites, we should not only restore their features, but also develop industries. Most importantly, there should be a more reasonable and scientific overall plan for river widening and ancient street protection.
Ouhai district municipal government officials said that the river planning has been approved and it is difficult to change. The urgent task is to proceed from reality, demolish several old houses at the bend of Laojie Bridge and widen the river. At the eastern end of the lower section of Laojie Bridge, according to the original plan, nearly 20 old houses will be demolished as river bank green space. Can you consider keeping the old house and redesigning the green space?
