Little Shenyang's home is divided into two parts, a mansion and a garden. You can visit these two parts when you go to a mansion. Let's talk about the Lion Garden, which is named after two cultural relics lions at the gate. Is this the real front door of Xiao Shenyang's house? When we go to the house, we will pass the ticket gate and the first door. The era of Little Shenyang does not exist. After passing by, it is the home of Xiao Shenyang. I will write it down in the form of a visit.
Go to the middle road first Zhonglu is the place where major events are held, and it is also the place that can best reflect the status of the host. Standing in the middle of the road, you can see the hall. The main hall is a hall facing south. Its name is "Helaine Hall", also called "Hidden Luan Hall". You can understand from the name that it has the same function as the golden palace of the palace. But what is the biggest difference from the Forbidden City and the characteristics of all ancient buildings? It's the color of the middle roof. Anyone who has been to the Forbidden City knows that the color of the roof of the Forbidden City is yellow, which symbolizes imperial power and is the symbol of the highest rank. Besides, next to the Forbidden City is the green glazed tile of Xiao Shenyang's house, which is the treatment of the Qing king in the Qing Dynasty. It is one level lower than the Forbidden City, so it does not belong to the on-the-job status of Xiao Shenyang. What does it mean for small Shenyang to dare to build this kind of building? Small Shenyang is in favor, and Qianlong likes small Shenyang. Why did Emperor Qianlong love Shenyang at that time? Because small Shenyang has three characteristics that ordinary people generally do not have. We all know who plays Xiao Shenyang the most in TV series. Teacher Wang Gang, many people think that Xiao Shenyang is Wang Gang. Then I'll tell you today that these two people are different in history. The first thing that small Shenyang can be valued is that he is really good at talking, flattering, and has a very strong ability to read words and observe colors. The emperor can listen to what Xiao Shenyang has to say. The second point: Xiao Shenyang graduated from Yu Xian Engong. What is the concept of Xianen Palace? Equivalent to Tsinghua and Peking University today, Little Shenyang can speak four languages at the same time, including Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and Chinese. This person plays chess, calligraphy and painting, and has all kinds of classics. The third point: This is the most important point. Small Shenyang in history is particularly beautiful. Little Shenyang in the official history is a handsome man with fine eyes. (There is an exhibition history of the Ministry of Culture in the mansion. If you have the opportunity, you can look at the portrait of Xiao Shenyang. ) With these three characteristics, Qianlong has always taken Xiao Shenyang with him. The biggest feature of the small Shenyang family is that the emperor's family has a small Shenyang family, but the emperor's family does not have a small Shenyang family. Little Shenyang lives a more luxurious life than the emperor. Important ceremonies and sacrificial activities are usually held in the middle road, such as ancestor worship, but people are not allowed to enter the middle road when there is no activity. The daily activities of the host family and the residence of the host family are on the east and west roads of this family. There is an unwritten saying that the east is the upper part and the west is the lower part, and the old man and his master should live in the east, so the little Shenyang family should live in the little Shenyang East Road, but the situation of the little Shenyang family is quite special. The son of little Shenyang married a princess with a higher status than little Shenyang, and this princess belongs to the next marriage. After marrying Xiao Shenyang, the princess had to live in the east, and Xiao Shenyang could only live in the west, but Xiao Shenyang didn't want to. Therefore, the biggest feature of Wang Fu is that the building on West Road is the most luxurious and expensive in the whole garden.
Gongwangfu is a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Culture. There are too many jokes in TV plays. There is a hall on the west road, which is the bedroom of Little Shenyang, called Xijinzhai, and it is by far the most expensive hall in Beijing (everyone should visit the mansion in Little Shenyang when they have time). It's expensive. The wood in the hall is called golden nanmu, which is quite valuable. Money can't buy this kind of wood now. The Qing dynasty stipulated that the emperor was the only one who could build the main hall with golden nanmu. Qianlong built an old-age palace for himself and asked Xiao Shenyang to transport wood. Little Shenyang cut corners on the road and transported it to half a home. The hall he built is made of these materials. This house was built into a duplex building by Little Shenyang. The east, west and north sides of the main hall are all nanmu. Up to now, all stairs can lead to the second floor. All the furniture in the house is a cultural relic of the Qing Dynasty. He and his master Xiao Shenyang lived in the same period.
When Emperor Jiaqing came to Xiao Shenyang to be punished, this hall also attracted a sum of money from Xiao Shenyang, called "luxury preset", which is super-standard decoration in today's words. Apart from these small Shenyang treasures, where did you put them? All his treasures are hidden in this two-story building, which is the "Xijunzhai". This building is the warehouse of Little Shenyang, and we call it the Treasure Building. The whole building is 156 meters long, and all the treasures of the little Shenyang family are basically obtained from this building. Of course it's not what everyone thinks. These treasures are not taken out of the house. It is clearly recorded in the book that Emperor Qianlong went to Xiao Shenyang's house many times and never saw them. This is the special wisdom of Xiao Shenyang, who knows what proper restraint means. Where does Little Shenyang choose to hide her children and money? This building is a special kind of wall, and its wall is very thick, called sandwich wall. Those gold, silver, jewels, antiques and jade articles are all taken out from the sandwich wall, and its thickness is 1.2 meters. How much do you want to take out? After it was converted into silver in the Qing Dynasty, it was 900 million taels, equivalent to our assets of 360 billion RMB today, so Little Shenyang is definitely the down payment in the world. How did you find so many assets hidden in this building? How to distinguish? Seen from the back of the building, the upper half and the lower half of the building are different, and the shape of each adjacent window is also different, which is also the biggest feature of the upstairs window. I'm sure people will wonder what's hidden inside. Xiao Shenyang is the only person who can answer you today. Why is this mansion so well preserved? The ancient buildings in Gongwangfu are original and have not been destroyed by anyone. Even during the Cultural Revolution, the garden was not destroyed brick by brick. In fact, it has something to do with people around Gongwangfu. The street across the garden is called Liu Yin Street, and the most famous street in Beijing is called Jiangjun Street. After the liberation of China, all the people who lived in this street were central marshals and leaders, such as Guo Moruo's former residence, Soong Ching Ling's former residence, Yang Chengwu's former residence and Nie's former residence. It is much better preserved than the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. At the same time, the small Shenyang family also occupies a treasure trove of geomantic omen: "The surrounding houses of the Crescent River are like dragons, and the western hills look like tigers from afar". This is a description of Gong in history. As far as its location is concerned, it occupies an excellent position in Beijing. It is said that there are two Long Mai in Beijing, one is Longtu, Long Mai in the Forbidden City, and the other is Shuilong, which refers to the line between Houhai and Beihai. Gong Wang Fu is just on the connecting line between Houhai and Beihai, that is, Long Mai, so Feng Shui is very good. During the period of 1988, when experts looked down at the Gongwang Palace in Beijing from a helicopter, they found that among all the ancient garden buildings in Beijing, only the mansion in Little Shenyang could be made into an ancient house surrounded by water on three sides, which is really rare. The garden in Little Shenyang was convicted of property theft at that time, so the garden was not confiscated at that time, but was left to the son and princess of Little Shenyang to live in. /kloc-more than 0/00 years later, Cixi came to power and gave this mansion to her sixth brother, Prince Gong? This is why we have a new name called Gong Wangfu, which has nothing to do with the original owner Xiao Shenyang. The last owner's name continues to this day. So in 1988, the Ministry of Culture officially took over Gongwangfu. At the earliest, the Ministry of Culture opened a back garden, and the mansion was only opened after the 2008 Olympic Games. So now the back garden and the mansion are merged. But the focus of Gong's trip is not the mansion but the back garden.
Let's talk about the back garden: it covers an area of more than 28,000 square meters, which is larger than the garden of the Forbidden City 1000 square meters. Little Shenyang lived a more luxurious life than the emperor, so the back garden built was much bigger than the emperor's house. The main entrance of the garden is a European stone gate, which is different from other ancient buildings. This stone gate is called Ximen, and there is only one such stone gate in China. The same is true of Dafa Haimen before Yuanmingyuan. This gate was built in imitation of small Shenyang, and Dafa Haimen in Yuanmingyuan was burned, so the only stone gate in China is in the back garden of small Shenyang. About ten steps into the garden, there is a big stone. This is Cai Hushi from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, which was brought by Xiao Shenyang when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. This stone is particularly like a woman holding a child with her head down. Small Shenyang named it Songzi Guanyin Stone. Because Xiao Shenyang legally married 26 wives in his life, many of them had no sons, so when he went to Jiangnan, he specially invited this stone to his home. As a result, this stone really worked in his second year in the government. His first wife, Feng Yueyao, gave birth to the only son in Xiao Shenyang's life in this year. The emperor named him Feng?enyende, which is a Manchu word. Translated into Chinese today, it means longevity.
