68. The Governor's "mansion"
In May 2016, Li Jianmin, deputy mayor of Ankang at the prefecture level, died of a sudden illness on a business trip, causing social concern. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Soon, an article entitled "We Saw Li Jianmin's "Mansion"" swept the Internet, and the controversy caused by it made people sigh.
Similarly, the ******'s "mansions" are extremely luxurious, and the "General's Mansion", which the locals call the "Forbidden City", is extraordinary, designed by the engineers of the Palace Museum Design Institute and built in imitation of the Forbidden City architecture. The main building has three floors and the annex building has two floors. The corridor in front of the door and the exquisite carved beams and paintings in the interior are also from the painters of the Forbidden City. Construction began in 2009 and was initially completed in the summer of 2011, nearly three years.
However, Mr. Zhu is lonely and unheard, and has never been to either place, and I am going to talk about another "mansion" now.
There is a place of "Nalao" in Xilin County, Guangxi, which is at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces, which is 53 kilometers away from the county seat, and is the east gate of Xilin facing Baise and Nanning. Originating in the northwest of Guangnan County, Yunnan Province, the Daniang River and the Xiping River meet here. More than 100 years ago, there were a number of civil and military officials in Xilin, and only the Lao Cen clan had "one door and three governors": Cen Yuying was the first Zhuang person entrusted with important tasks by the Qing Dynasty, and the official was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou; His younger brother Cen Yubao was the acting governor of Yunnan and Guizhou; Cen Chunxuan was a celebrity who was active in the political and military circles in the early Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
Gongbao Mansion is located in Narao Township, it was built in the fifth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1879), this is a group of courtyards consisting of Gongbao Mansion, Nanyin Academy, Rongludi, Cen Ancestral Hall, Zengshou Pavilion, Sizi Building, Filial Piety and Filial Piety Girl Workshop, etc., is a very distinctive building complex, reflecting the prosperity and power of the Cen family of "one door and three governors" at that time, and also added a brilliant mark to the history of the Zhuang people.
What kind of character is the Governor? What a scene! So, can his architecture be bad? The "Ming and Qing Dynasty Cen Family Complex" marked by Gongbao Mansion covers an area of more than 40,000 square meters, and the building is a three-entry courtyard and a brick and wood structure building. The front side is 3 rooms wide, and the rear side is 5 rooms, stacked beam frame, hard hilltop, and covered with green tiles. Columns, beams, eaves are all painted with character landscape paintings, and the door forehead is hung with the horizontal plaque of "Gongbao Mansion" of Kowloon. In front of the door, there is a wall on the left and right, and there is a wall outside, covering an area of 1,350 square meters. It is not too much to say that it is a "mansion".
Mr. Zhu had the pleasure of visiting such a "mansion", however, it disappointed me greatly. There is a famous saying that "gold and jade are ruined on the outside", but in fact, "Gongbaofu" is also "useless". I went to the Governor's wife's room to have a look (the Governor's hometown will be returned, where the lady lives), it is dark, short, dilapidated, no more than 15 square meters, no bathroom, no formation, I was surprised. The Doge's wife's house is still like this, but how good are the other houses?
It turns out that the "mansion" more than 100 years ago is not luxurious; 100 years later, it is only 5 generations, all the glory has been "helpless flowers", when we look back at the past, we find that those who were prosperous, those who have worked hard, those who have revitalized the family, are all in vain.
The "mansions" of the governor surprised us, so in a few years, will the "mansions" of those officials be dismissive? So, do we need to leave some "real estate" for future generations? Perhaps, my next article, will give you a revelation.
