The origin of the word "drinking ice": The word "drinking ice" originated in Zhuangzi? The world: "Order me to drink ice tonight. What is my anger? " The original intention is to compare one's inner worries. At that time, Liang Qichao was ordered by Emperor Guangxu to carry out political reform and reform, and was ordered at a critical moment. In the face of domestic troubles and foreign invasion, Liang Qichao's inner anxiety can be imagined. How to solve his "anger" Only "drinking ice" can be solved. So he used the word "drinking ice" to express his inner anxiety.
. As a famous historical and cultural city, Tianjin has many famous buildings and former residences, among which Liang Qichao's "ice drinking room" should be regarded as a representative one. In the past century, the ice drinking room has been miraculously preserved after many twists and turns, which may be a fate between Liang Qichao and the "ice drinking room" and the city of Tianjin.
1912165438+10/6 Liang Qichao finally returned to his motherland and arrived in Tianjin. The enthusiasm of Tianjin surprised him. Feng, governor of Zhili, heard that Liang Qichao had arrived in Tianjin and immediately sent someone to meet him. Liang Qichao later wrote in a letter to his daughter: "I went to the welcoming banquet and speech of the Democratic Party and the local officials invited banquets one after another. This kind of entertainment is extremely painful ... the guests have never been disturbed. "
The charm of a city lies in its culture, which is the accumulation of history and culture, and the landscape architecture is the best carrier of urban culture. The characteristics of a city can often be properly reflected in the architecture. The landscape architecture in Tianjin has extremely high historical value, cultural value and tourism value, and it is also the epitome of the historical evolution and cultural accumulation of the city.
Architecture is a precious wealth left by modern Tianjin.
There are many unique buildings on both sides of the Haihe River, from shops and foreign companies to celebrity residences. It seems that the "fashion" of Tianjin a hundred years ago was to have a private space of your own. Perhaps because of this, Liang Qichao created his "ice drinking room" in Tianjin; Living in Tianjin, dignitaries can stay away from the intrigue of officialdom and have a peaceful picture; Businessmen and comprador took a fancy to crouching tiger, hidden dragon here, which is a treasure-house for doing business; Scholar politicians forbear here, waiting for the opportunity for salted fish to turn over. Because of these scripts, the building is no longer as cold as it looks, and people begin to dig the story behind the building with great interest. Perhaps it is too biased to summarize Tianjin's architecture with two articles: "Former Residence of Celebrities" and "Xiaoyanglou", but we hope readers can get a glimpse of the whole leopard and arouse people's interest in Tianjin's old buildings again.
19 14, Liang Qichao bought an open space with an area of 3.895 mu in Xima Road (now minzu road) in the Italian Concession, and prepared to build an apartment and a study. Interestingly, after the design drawings came out, the audit of the Engineering Department of the Italian Ministry of Industry was very strict, and its standards are still worth learning today: new buildings have their own characteristics and cannot be identical; Harmony with the surrounding landscape; Give consideration to artistry and practicality.
The study of "Ice Room" was built in 1924. This is a two-story building with brick and wood structure and a basement. It was designed by Italian architect Baroni. There are three arch holes in the front of the building, stone steps on both sides and a reservoir inside. The whole building is smooth, elegant and romantic. On the first floor, there is a hall, a study, a reference room and a living room. There are bedrooms, guest rooms and dining rooms on the second floor, which is the place for Liang Qichao's political activities and writing in his later years. This building is very different from the apartment design built by Liang Qichao before. Although both buildings are Italian buildings, the eclectic style is obvious and the design is very individual, which is related to the popular design style in Europe at that time.
The establishment of this research means that Liang Qichao's once virtual cultural symbol "drinking ice room" finally has a solid support. From 19 19 to 65438+, he put forward the idea of "expanding my civilization with western civilization, subsidizing western civilization with my civilization and combining them into a new civilization". Liang Qichao lived in Tianjin for many years. "He is polite and enthusiastic. Every winter and summer vacation, the' ice drinking room' has become a cram school, and many students from Tsinghua and Nankai come here to seek knowledge. "
