Although the former jujube market, rice market, flower market, vegetable market and salt market no longer exist, they are still talked about by the people. The alley is already very narrow, and the towering high walls on both sides are even narrower and deeper. Walking in any one casually, there is always a different scenery. Occasionally, there is a small door, or a round or square or other shapes of carved windows, and even Plutocratic family, such as "Scholar House" and "Jinshi". From the stone lions and gongs and drums in front of the door, you can imagine how solemn and quiet the house with flowers and trees soaring on the high courtyard wall is. Go ahead and push open the half-opened door, and you will be amazed at the wood carvings on the eaves, the beam-column partition in the hall, the door crane, the window lattice, the wall, the column base and so on. People who come to Dayang think that the architecture and environment of the ancient town are absolutely beautiful, while those who live in Dayang will tell you meaningfully that what is more beautiful is the countless stories in the life of the ancient town. These stories can be seen everywhere in the ancient town. Of course, what impressed me the most was the sentence: "An official should not exaggerate Yang", which is by no means an exaggeration. In fact, this ancient town, which lives in a corner of Taihang Mountain, is full of talented people. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties alone, there were1more than 50 recorded officials, which was also the real arrogance of Dayang people for hundreds of years. On the one hand, it prospered the economy of the native land, on the other hand, it built a large number of buildings.
Among many buildings, the largest is the residence of Zhang Dutang, the right assistant minister of Ding Chouke in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. Because of his son Zhang Guangkui's contribution to North Korea, there are archways in the cotton market and jujube market in Dayang Old Street. Zhang Fu, bounded by archway, starts from Guandi Temple in the north and ends at Xiaota in the south, covering an area of 100 mu, spanning most streets of Jianxing and Caishen. The scale is grand, showing the demeanor of an aristocratic family. Strolling through it, you can see the masterpieces of Ming architects and the beauty of architecture that integrates practicality and appreciation. Three sets of three-way courtyards with three daughters occupy more than half of Jianxing Lane. The courtyard is tall and has a complete garden. There are also palaces for office use, food troughs for brewing, fountains for pumping water, study rooms for practicing martial arts, and magnificent ancestral temples. The world has changed a lot, and time flies. These gardens have changed hands several times before, becoming a complex where many surnames live. In addition to the beautiful old houses in the old streets and deep alleys, there is also a good place to cultivate one's morality and purify one's soul: Baota Temple and Nanhe Temple. Pagoda refers to Tianzhu Pagoda, also known as Dayang Pagoda and Blue Brick Pagoda. It has eight sides and nine floors and was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Although the style is unusual, it has a great position in the eyes of Dayang people. For many years, Tianzhu Tower has been regarded as the patron saint of the fate of foreigners. People admire it, thinking that it occupies the aura of geomantic omen and maintains the official luck of Dayang Town. In the ancient town, like Tianzhu Tower, there are Buddhist temples and temples, hoping to protect the village and people. According to statistics, there are more than 30 temples in Dayang ancient town, together with those temples, pavilions, temples, halls and 16 stage built in ancient streets and lanes. There are dozens of performances of Spring Prayer and Autumn Newspaper every year.
The main existing temples include Zisheng Temple, Nanhe Temple, Tangdi Temple and Needle Temple, which are rare in other places. Why is there a temple of needles in Dayang? It turns out that Dayang is quite rich in coal and iron resources. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the mining industry and the ironmaking industry had risen and flourished, and smelting industry became a traditional dominant industry. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, with the emergence of capitalism in the south of the Yangtze River, where the commodity economy was relatively prosperous, Dayang Village changed from smelting and mining to manual needle-making in every household. It began the prosperous history of hand-made needles for more than three centuries. Its products not only occupy more than half of the China market, but also are exported to foreign countries and Iranian western Europe. The ocean is therefore called "the needle capital of Kyushu". Until the invasion of foreign powers in the late Qing Dynasty, a large number of foreign machine-made steel needles occupied the China market, and the needle-making industry of "Kyushu Needle Capital" gradually declined and was replaced by cheap imported foreign needles.
If one industry prospers, all industries will prosper, and if one industry declines, all industries will decline. With the decline of hand-made needle industry, the commerce and trade industry in Dayang ancient town has also gradually declined, and the economy has gradually become depressed. The prosperity of the ancient town is gone forever. ...
Yesterday's brilliant sun was printed in ancient books with yellowed pages, engraved on illegible stone tablets, and lived among people's jokes. Today's ancient town is close at hand but mysterious and far away. Time is passing, and no one can fetter its footsteps. However, how can the culture and tradition condensed between history and reality not be loved and distressed?
The Intermediate People's Court, also known as Guangludi, was the residence of Yu Pei, the minister of rites in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. Although the tall gate head has lost its previous prestige, its majestic momentum is inevitably reminiscent of Bai Juyi's poem "Who started from the first place, beside Zhumen Avenue, rows of houses, loops outside the high wall". It is said that the Intermediate People's Court is a nine-palace gossip layout. It takes the corridor of the palace as the central axis, and the courtyards are connected together, with as many as 18 courtyards, just like the style of a palace. In the courtyard, the main hall is carved with dragons and painted with buildings, and the windows and screens are arched and cornices, pecking orderly. It's a pity that people are empty now, leaving only the mud in Liang Yan. Wang was the magistrate of Bazhou in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and one of the four masters of Jin, Wang, Huo and Duan Xiyang. His mansion extends from Wushen Lane in the western ocean to the south bank (now New Street), covering an area of nearly 100 mu and more than 500 houses. Overlooking the Wang family mansion, you can see that the houses are stacked one after another, and the pavilions are magnificent. Although it is decadent now, we can still see its original scale. Duan Jiayuan is the best preserved old house in the western ocean. It is the residence of Duan Zhi, the leader of the Yuan Dynasty in Zezhou. It enters through the Xun Gate in the southeast, and then returns to the middle gate just south of the palace. Facing it is a hall. There are wooden pillars, square flower windows and partition doors on the stone foundation. There are large pieces of wood carvings and flowers and birds between the inner and outer purlins. The pillars are covered with pots and there are bricks on both walls. You can enter the west yard from the northwest gate, and the northeast gate goes straight to the backyard. The whole building is Yuan Dynasty style, which is a rare residential building in Yuan Dynasty.
Ocean, a brilliant and quiet place; Ocean, a beautiful and rich place; I read a lot in your arms. In your sky, the mysterious symbols of traditional culture are printed. Behind you, there are countless new people who are full of ambition and work hard for their Chinese dream.
