During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, that is, around 1805, a rich man surnamed Huang in Anhui decided to build a yard in his hometown, covering an area of 4,500 square meters, which was very spacious. After the completion, the rich surnamed Huang was not particularly satisfied. Therefore, he specially invited skilled craftsmen from Suzhou to renovate the improved courtyard. It took more than 20 years to finally build this yard. This courtyard is a canyon floor courtyard with four rivers leading to the hall. It's magnificent and beautiful. There are 65,438+06 bedrooms in it, excluding the storage room and the living room for meeting guests. The courtyard is also a patio, rockery and fish pond, which makes people dizzying.
The house is full of flowers and plants, and the attic is towering and very beautiful. This is a typical Huizhou folk house, and the owner named it "Echoes Hall". And the furniture in the room is expensive mahogany, which looks neat and orderly. It can be seen that the former owner is a very elegant figure. As we said before, it took 20 years to build this house. Coupled with the furniture and furnishings inside, we can see that the cost of the guild hall is very high, but it is completely insignificant for the rich Huang family at that time.
Yinyutang is very predestined.
However, the fate of this expensive house is not smooth sailing. As soon as the house was built, the western powers invaded our country, but the Qing government was weak and allowed them to trample on our territory. After the western powers opened China with artillery, they sank deeper and deeper and came to Anhui along the river. How can such a beautiful house as Yinyutang escape their eyes? A large number of businessmen and missionaries came to the reverberation hall, and they wanted to "stay" here.
How can the owner of the lingering sound hall not know what is going on, but still adhere to the tradition of guests from afar, lend them the most spacious house in the lingering sound hall, and allow them to preach and do business in the lingering sound hall? In this way, a few years later, British missionaries and businessmen left, but a large number of industries of the Huang family were also taken away, and the Huang family also fell into poverty. However, if the money is gone, you can make it again, your life is still there, your ancestral home is still there, and you are not afraid of anything.
1855, Huang Jiayin Yutang has spread to the third generation, but Yinyutang still has not escaped the war. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom entered Huizhou, and Yinyutang was occupied again. As we all know, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a peasant uprising, and most of the soldiers were peasants. Naturally, they are not of high quality. They vandalized in the middle of the reverberation hall, and many precious antiques and mahogany furniture were destroyed at this time. But at least, the Huang family is safe. Finally, the Xiang army sent by the Qing government to wipe out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom came here. After the Xiang army destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it returned the occupied guild hall to the Huang family.
But by this time, the reverberation hall had almost been destroyed. The descendants of the Huang family gradually stopped taking care of the clubhouse. Until the 1980s, descendants of Huang gradually settled and developed in big cities, and their ancestral halls remained in Huizhou. However, due to the serious damage at that time, coupled with the lack of maintenance later, the reverberation hall was very dilapidated. So Huang's descendants decided to sell the hall, but because of the high price, no one cared about it for more than two years, so Huang's descendants decided to tear down the hall, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came before the demolition began.
Americans fall in love at first sight and spend a lot of money to ship it to the United States.
When Huang's descendants were going to tear down the guild hall, an American tourist came here by accident and took a fancy to the ancestral home at first sight, because the American himself liked the traditional culture of China, especially the guild hall of Huizhou architecture. But after hearing that such a beautiful building was about to turn into a pile of broken wood, he was very heartbroken, so he contacted a local museum in the United States. Finally, at the price of 65.438+0.25 billion yuan, how could such a large object be shipped back to the United States?
1in the spring of 997, Americans decided to transport all the thousands of wood and stones demolished by the Echo Concert Hall back to the United States and rebuild the Echo Concert Hall in the United States. As it happens, the Bibodi Museum in Seleng Town, USA is also undergoing maintenance and expansion. Coincidentally, Yin Yutang arrived in the United States, and the museum was also expanding, as if welcoming this guest from afar. After the reverberation hall was shipped back to the United States, Americans invited experts from China and the United States to rebuild it, and restored it to its original appearance according to historical materials, which was very brilliant.
After the completion, those Americans were shocked, because the Aftersound Hall was so beautiful and full of China flavor, just like a classical oriental beauty, standing alone. In 2003, the completed Aftersound Concert Hall was officially opened to the public. Now, countless tourists visit there every year, especially those from China. When they get there, they must visit the Aftersound Hall, because it belongs to our China culture.

China has a long history, and soup is very popular in the United States. Of course, we are very happy and proud, because soup represents China culture in a sense. But on the other hand, we are also very sad. It is not a sad thing that our traditional culture should be carried forward by foreigners.
