brief introduction

Hongjiang Ancient building complex was built in the Northern Song Dynasty. Its characteristic building, yinziwu, is similar to a quadrangle, mostly two into two floors, or three into three floors. There is an overpass between the north and the South above the third floor. In the high fire sealing wall, the roof is inclined from the surrounding to the inside, and the light and ventilation are provided by the small square patio. It is close to the mountain and water, or in the deep lane or hanging feet on the bank. The eaves and high walls are one after another, and the stone roadway is connected with the stone wharf. There are ten guild halls in the town, such as Shanxi and Changde. Most of them are close to the water wharf and extend to deep alleys and high slopes. The guild hall generally has the main hall, the side hall, the main hall, the living room, the guest room, the stage and so on. The blue stone gate of Taiping Palace (Baoqing guild hall) is embossed with the characters of mother-in-law's tattoo and Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Hongjiang, located in the Xuefeng mountain area in the southwest of Hunan Province, is an immigrant city. It is located at the intersection of Yuan River and Wu River. Its commerce and trade originated from CaoShi in Tang Dynasty and flourished in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. Thanks to water transportation, hongjiangpu was set up in 1075, which is the "child year" of Hongjiang Ancient mall. In 1090, it was changed to Zhai (the same as Zhai). According to Lin He, a famous folklorist, Chengdu businessmen discovered and opened up a way to bypass the Three Gorges, pass through Fuling, Youyang and Xiushan, enter Youshui and reach ancient Qianzhong county (now Yuanling County, Hunan Province), reach Hongjiang river through Yuanjiang River, then take Miao boat to Huangping of Qingshui River in Guizhou Province, and then transfer to the caravan to Yunnan, Myanmar and India to reach the "Southern Silk Road" in western regions, It is safer and more convenient than another "Shu Shen Du Dao" opened by Sichuan people. As a result of the formation of this commercial road, the immigrants from Hongjiang began to place their orders on the merchants, and the gold diggers swarmed to Hongjiang. By the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Hongjiang had developed into a commercial metropolis of Southwest China with its superior water transportation and special position of "controlling seven provinces by strangling the throat of Southwest China". A large number of workshops, shops, inns, business firms, temples and Guilds came into being, A market pattern of "seven Chong, eight lanes and nine streets" has been formed. 18 provinces, 24 prefectures and more than 80 counties have successively set up guildhalls and more than 100 other chambers of Commerce in Hongjiang.

Protection of Hongjiang Ancient Buildings

Hongjiang Ancient building complex is located in the center of Hongjiang District, Huaihua City, Southwest Hunan Province. It is located at the intersection of Yuan River and Wu River. Now it has more than 380 temples, workshops, business houses, guild halls, banks, shops, cigarette shops, newspapers, schools and other buildings in Ming, Qing and Republic of China, with a total area of nearly 200000 square meters. Among them, the commercial buildings represented by commercial banks and guildhalls are large-scale and powerful, with a strong business culture atmosphere. Their architectural form is similar to that of Yunnan's "yikeyin" residential buildings, but they have their own "commercial" characteristics. They are used for commercial buildings, with tall, horse head walls and surrounded by "fire sealing walls" made of green bricks. Their construction methods are free and flexible, and they are compatible with each other In nature, they are built on the basis of mountains, and most of them have cornices and angles. They are carved with dragons and phoenixes, which are of great historical, cultural and artistic value. They are praised by experts as "living fossils of the budding period of Chinese capitalism". During the investigation, director Shan Jixiang had a comprehensive understanding of the origin, development, rise and fall, protection and utilization of Hongjiang Ancient Buildings, and carefully inspected the protection and utilization of 18 important "national security" buildings and the preservation of the entire ancient buildings. Finally, director Shan Jixiang pointed out: the architectural features of Hongjiang Ancient Buildings are distinctive. Due to the brilliant commercial trade brought by the convenient water transportation in history, and with the rapid decline of water transportation and the attention paid by the local Party committee and government to the protection of cultural relics, they have been preserved to this day. They are relatively complete and have distinctive features. He also stressed the need to further strengthen the protection and control the scope of protection and buildings It is necessary to complete the protection planning and maintenance plan as soon as possible. First of all, we should do a good job in the protection, utilization and maintenance of 18 important "national security" buildings, so that local people can get benefits and benefits, and serve the construction of a harmonious society.
