The former site of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Bureau:
Go west along Beishan Street from the broken bridge where Xu Xian and White Snake had a date, less than 100 meters away. Hangzhou Party School of Shanghai Railway Bureau. In the 1930s, this was the former site of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Bureau. The 946-kilometer Zhejiang-Jiangxi Line was first constructed in 1899 and was completed in September 1937 after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Historical data records that within four months from the opening of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway to the fall of Hangzhou, the Communist Party transported more than 3.2 million soldiers, 28,000 war horses, and more than 200,000 tons of military rations, guns and ammunition; there were also millions of Refugees also retreated to the rear through the railway. The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway played an important role in the Anti-Japanese War.
On the bank of the beautiful West Lake in Hangzhou, there is an inconspicuous three-story building. A boundary monument tells people that this was the former site of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Bureau, and it has been listed as a key protected cultural relic in Hangzhou. It records an important stage in the development of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway in the modern history of China. In 1899, the Qing government began to build the Zhuzhou-Pingxiang section of the railway to transport coal from Pingxiang, and it was completed in 1905. In February 1929, in order to develop the economy of the southern and western parts of the province, the Zhejiang Provincial Government raised funds to build a railway from the Qiantang River in Xiaoshan to Yushan in Jiangxi (formerly known as the Hangjiang Railway). Due to limited funds, we can only adopt the method of building and operating at the same time, building and operating in sections. In March 1930, the opening ceremony of the Hangjiang Railway was held in Xiaoshan. It was opened to Quxian on November 1, 1933, and the entire line was completed on November 30.
After the Hangjiang Railway was opened to traffic, in March 1934, the two provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the Ministry of Railways and relevant banks organized the establishment of the Zhejiang-Ganxi Railway Joint Company. On March 14, the company's board of directors decided to establish the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Bureau. On May 1, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Bureau was established, and the railway bureau was located by the West Lake in Hangzhou. Du Zhenyuan, a well-known railway expert in my country, serves as the director and chief engineer, Hou Jiayuan serves as the deputy director and deputy chief engineer, and Xie Wenlong serves as the deputy director.
After the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Bureau was established, it continued to build the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line westward. It was built in Nanchang in 1936 and in Pingxiang in September 1937. The Pingxiang-Zhuzhou section of the railway originally belonged to the Guangdong-Hankong Railway, and was placed under the jurisdiction of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Bureau by order of the Ministry of Railways. At this time, the Qiantang River Bridge had also been completed, with a total length of 1,008 kilometers (including branch lines). Although one end point of the Zhejiang-Ganxi Line is located in Hunan Province, most of the sections are located in Zhejiang and Jiangxi Provinces, so it is still named the Zhejiang-Ganxi Line.
The completion of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway connected the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo, Nanxun and Han-Guangdong Railways. It not only promoted the economic development of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and other provinces, but also played an important role in the military. At that time, the Japanese invaders caused a tragic massacre in Nanjing. In order to prevent the Japanese invaders from invading the south, Mao Yisheng tearfully blew up the Qiantang River Bridge, which had only been opened to traffic for 89 days.
Historical records show that in the 89 days from the opening of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway to the explosion of the bridge, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway transported more than 3.2 million soldiers, 28,000 war horses, military rations, clothing, guns, ammunition, and equipment. Nearly 200,000 tons. In addition, all materials, rails and rolling stock withdrawn from the Jinpu, Beijing-Shanghai, Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo, Nanxun and other railways were rushed to the rear via the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway. The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway has left a mark in the history of China’s Anti-Japanese War. Du Zhenyuan, director of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Bureau, was admitted to Tangshan Road and Mine School in 1910. He had excellent academic performance in school and was awarded the honor of being a member of the Feitao Feili Society.
In 1920, he entered Cornell University in the United States to study for a master's degree. After graduation, he worked as an assistant engineer at the American Deutsche-Heilongjiang Railway Company. In 1924, he was appointed by the Ministry of Transport to lead an inspection team to inspect railways in European and American countries. After returning to China, he served as director and chief engineer of the Hangjiang, Zhejiang-Jiangxi, Yunnan-Burma and Guangdong-Hankong Railway Bureaus. In just over 20 years, he presided over the construction of 4 railways and the repair of 1 railway, with a total length of about 3,600 kilometers. Therefore, he is known as the great builder of Chinese railways and a railway giant after Zhan Tianyou.
Jingyi Villa:
Built in the 1920s, it was the private residence of Zhang Jingjiang, then Chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Government. The name Jingyi was created by Zhang Jingjiang and his wife Zhu It is formed by combining one character from each of Yimin's names. Zhang Jingjiang, whose musical name is Zengcheng, also named Jingjiang, also known as Jingjie, was born in Nanxun Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang, and was born into a wealthy silk merchant family in the south of the Yangtze River. In 1902, he went abroad with the Minister to France to serve as Commercial Counselor in France and began to do business abroad. After getting acquainted with Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of the Chinese democratic revolution, he began to provide financial support. After Chiang Kai-shek established the Nanjing National Government, he presided over the work of the Construction Committee. In his later years, he gradually faded away from politics and turned to Buddhism, so he was also known as Wazen, and the Buddha was named Zhijie. Died of illness in New York, USA on September 3, 1950. His life is full of legend. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic of China, and Chiang Kai-shek, the founder of the Nanjing National Government, both had an extraordinary relationship with him. Sun Yat-sen called him a revolutionary saint. A couplet inscribed by Sun Yat-sen on Zhang Jingjiang is : The hall is full of flowers and three thousand guests are drunk, and a sword freezes forty states. Chiang Kai-shek called him a revolutionary mentor.
Qiushui Villa:
It is the love nest built by Shi Liangcai, the chief writer of "Shen Shen", for his beloved wife Shen Qiushui.
Shi Liangcai (1880-1934), a famous scholar, was born on January 2 in Jiangning County, Jiangsu Province (now Jiangning District, Nanjing). When he was young, he moved with his father to Sijing Town, Lou County, Songjiang Prefecture, and opened Taihe Hall. Pharmacy, a scholar in the 25th year of Guangxu reign. After the Reform Movement of 1898, influenced by the reform ideas, he gave up the imperial examination and was admitted to the Hangzhou Sericulture Academy in the 27th year of Guangxu's reign. After returning home from the annual vacation, he raised funds with local people, founded a school, and organized the Jiangsu Academic Affairs Association with Huang Yanpei and others. In order to oppose the Qing government's borrowing from foreign powers to build roads and participate in the movement to recover road rights, in the 34th year of Guangxu's reign, he served as the chief writer of the "Times". After the Revolution of 1911 broke out, he participated in the Jiangsu Independence Movement, responded to the revolution, and was elected as a member of the Jiangsu Provincial Parliament. In the autumn of 1912, at a time of rapid social transformation, 32-year-old Shi Liangcai received the support of Zhang Jian and other industrialists and bought the 40-year-old "Shenbao" from Xi Zipei for 120,000 yuan. , and then embarked on the road of running a newspaper and created a lifelong career.
"Shen Shen" mainly covers domestic and foreign events and social news, and criticizes current affairs from time to time, such as opposing Yuan Shikai's restoration of the monarchy. In order to expand sales, Shi Liangcai recruited some literati from the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School. , hosted the supplement Free Talk for him, and serialized many novels about talented men and beautiful ladies. Under his painstaking management, the sales of "Shen Shen" increased greatly, and Shi Liangcai's prestige in the newspaper industry also continued to increase. In 1927, he purchased the equity of "News" and became the king of Shanghai's printing industry. He carried forward "Shen Shen" and developed it into one of the most influential newspapers in China. During the period when he was in charge of running the newspaper, famous reporters and editors such as Huang Yuansheng, Shao Piaoping, Ge Gongzhen, and Yu Songhua all worked in Shenbao.
The spirit of independence, impartiality and non-partisanship, and serving the society are the core of Shi Liangcai’s thoughts on running a newspaper. During his lifetime, he pinned the happiness of the world on a completely independent newspaper, including economic independence, not accepting subsidies from any political forces or warlords, political independence, not taking orders from any political group, and not being controlled by the government or warlords. The state has a national character, a report has a character, and a person has a personality. This is the resounding oath of Shi Liangcai. He believes that newspapers are the mouthpieces of the people. Except for the oppression of special forces, they must always say something for the people in order to stand firm. Shi Liangcai has been running "Shenbao" for 22 years, always pursuing his pursuit of the independent character of newspapers, and enriching and improving the history of Chinese journalism with his newspaper running ideas and newspaper industry practices. In 1932, there were more than 150,000 copies, creating the golden age of "Shenbao".
With the development of their career, Mr. and Mrs. Shi purchased the homestead of Jingguantang at No. 77, Jingjiang Road, and built a garden and the garden in the style of Yihongyuan in "A Dream of Red Mansions". Main building. The garden is small and exquisite, exquisite and harmonious. It is surrounded by flowers, trees and pavilions. There are rockeries and caves, curved ponds and fish ponds, and cobblestone or grindstone aisles run through the whole courtyard. From here you can see the peach and willow trees of Baidi, the lakes and mountains in the distance, the glow of Ge Ling, wind, flowers, snow and moon up close, you can hear the echo of Fanghe Pavilion in the empty valley, and you can see the wooden fish ringing the bell in the leisurely nunnery. It is really an ideal place to live with excellent ecology.
The original poster, Shi Liangcai, loved Hangzhou and was attached to the West Lake. In his early years, he studied for many years at the Jinsha Port Hangzhou Sericulture Academy founded by Lin Qi. After transferring to "Shen Shen", he created a special Hangzhou issue of "Shen Shen" for Hangzhou readers, sent his only son Shi Yonggen to Zhijiang University by the Qiantang River for further study, and created this scene in the name of his beloved wife Shen Qiushui.
Sui Lu:
Also called Baozhuang, the hall name is Suidetang. It is located at No. 94 Beishan Road, Xihu District. It is a relatively well-preserved complex of residences, ancestral halls and family tombs. An integrated mountain garden style garden villa. Walking up the mountain path from Beishan Road to Baozhuang, the first thing you see is a beautifully carved brick gatehouse with extraordinary momentum. On the lintel is the word Sui Lu and the signature is Zhao Meixi. The origin of this plaque and the inscription cannot be verified, but the most straightforward meaning can be guessed, which is the star of the Cantonese people. At that time, a large number of Cantonese people came to Jiangnan to seek gold. If their living conditions were good, they would build a lot of construction projects. They require the most advanced style and appearance of their houses in order to become a permanent shelter for future generations. The same is true for Sui Lu. Entering the gatehouse, there is an ancient camphor tree, which is more than 300 years old. In the shade of trees, a two-story, three-bay Western-style villa comes into view. This building has a brick and stone foundation, a suspended ceiling, bottle railings, and a ladder to the sky. It has 9 rooms, 225.95 square meters, and 5 bungalows. Half, 134.5 sqm. After leaving the courtyard, continue to go up the mountain path paved with giant stone slabs, which is the backyard of Baozhuang. There is an ancestral hall, a family tomb, and two stone pavilions, all built against the mountain and going up the road.
The entire Baozhuang covers an area of 2.109 acres. It was first built in 1922 and has a history of 80 years. Not many people know about Suilu of such a scale, and this also has something to do with the owner. Suilu is the villa of Guangdong businessman Bao Bolin.
The original owner of Baozhuang, Bao Bolin, was from Guangdong. He ran a variety of industries in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou, and his family was very wealthy. The Suilu house he built has the charm of his hometown of Lingnan. It has five characteristics: First, the building uses mostly blue bricks, terrazzo, stone strips, and slates, which are moisture-proof and moisture-proof. Secondly, everything from the garden layout to the fish ponds are designed with reference to the Lingnan style. The third is that the yin and yang of the residence, family temple, and tomb are integrated into one, all in the courtyard. In particular, the square pavilion and the octagonal pavilion in the courtyard are all constructed of stones, strips, slabs and tiles without any bricks, wood or iron, which is rare in private gardens in West Lake. The larger one is a double-eaves octagonal pavilion that combines Chinese and Western styles. It is constructed of stone and cement, with only the cornices made of wood. Fourth, the roof is very particular. According to the traditional Chinese Feng Shui architectural theory, it requires opening and closing and being wide. At that time, the house had a mountain on its back and the roof faced the water. This was a perfect combination of wide opening and wide closing. Fifth, the carvings under the eaves of the pavilion are wood carvings. The various vivid scenes are like a picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and each corner is the signature movement of an immortal. The pavilion tips and corners are of Chinese style while the pillars are of Western style, and have the meaning of rising upwards, which is similar to the Western meaning of leading to heaven.
Thus, Baozhuang gives people the impression that there is a path inside the door, which wants to be curved; there is a wall outside the flowers, and the wall wants to be low; there is a pavilion on the stone surface, and the pavilion wants to be simple; there is a garden in the corner of the house, and the garden I want to be spacious; there is a room behind the bamboo, and I want to have a quiet room.
Standing in Baozhuang, facing south and facing the mountains, overlooking the lake from a distance, you can hear the sound of thousands of trees filling the valleys and the smooth autumn air on thousands of cliffs. Baozhuang can be called the West Hubei. It is a rare private garden that still exists in the world.
Agate Temple:
There are three places on Beishan Road: many temples and nunneries, many former residences of celebrities, and many garden houses, among which Agate Temple is one of the representatives of temples.
Agate Temple, also known as Agate Temple, was originally located on Agate Slope of Gushan Mountain. There were originally colorful gravels here, as good as agate, which were collected and engraved by Hangzhou people, hence the name.
Starting from the Jin Dynasty, the Agate Temple lasted for more than 1,500 years, leaving a pivotal position in the history of Chinese Buddhism. It is said that Monk Xuyun, a famous foreign poet in my country and who lived for 120 years, dreamed that he was a monk in the Agate Temple in his previous life. During the Yuan Dynasty, there was a monk named Wen Ri in the Agate Temple who was very good at painting grapes. His death was also recorded in the "Chronology of Chinese Buddhism".
In the 22nd year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1152), Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty ordered the construction of the Four Saints Yanxiang Temple here and moved the Agate Temple to the east of Geling. The temple was built and destroyed many times, and it reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Hongli of the Qing Dynasty visited the temple three times in the 44th year (1779), the 45th year (1780), and the 49th year (1784) of Qianlong, and wrote poems and compositions. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Agate Temple was rebuilt after destruction. The built temple was very large. Its large roof can still be seen in some old photos of West Lake.
Jiangnan Literary Hall:
No. 95, Beishan Road. Looking from the green stone steps, you can see the clear sky and the West Lake is full of splendor and brightness. Climb up the long stairs of No. 95, turn left and right, and there is a brick gatehouse next to the high stone wall. The gatehouse has a deep courtyard and a two-story, three-bay blue brick building in the middle. Compared with its adjacent Suilu, there is not much historical memory left here. However, the fact that the Jiangnan Literary Association has settled in these two villas still illustrates the historical and cultural value that this house deserves. The villa is square in plan, with a corridor on the first floor, a balcony on the second floor, and a corner hall on the southwest. There is also a square bungalow to the west of the building, connected to the main building by a corridor. The two houses have a construction area of approximately 428 square meters, and are both built with blue bricks.
The building was originally a private residence built in 1934 by the famous gentry Jiang Manfeng. Jiang Manfeng has a close personal relationship with famous figures in Zhejiang, Chen Shutong and Ma Yinchu. It is said that Chen Shutong knew the entire process of building this house. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Jiang family left Hangzhou one after another, and the house remained vacant. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was occupied by government workers. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was included in socialist transformation in 1958.
In the center of a stone pavilion behind the bungalow, there is a column about one meter high. When you get closer, you can see that there is a bronze cast of the right hand of the literary giant Ba Jin on the top. It was with this slender hand that Balao held his heart to the readers, setting up a towering monument in the history of modern Chinese literature. Mr. Cao Yu called Balao the conscience of the 20th century.
It is located next to the Yue Temple, opposite the Quyuan Fenghe Gate. Climbing up the stairs, the first thing you see is the stone tablet of the Jiangnan Literature Association, which was taken from Ba Jin's handwriting. Going further up, there is a pavilion beside Suilu, which the Provincial Writers Association named Bajin Pavilion. In the pavilion, there is a precious hand model of Ba Jin, which was produced by the Beijing Museum of Modern Literature and specially presented to Hangzhou by Ba Jin's daughter Li Xiaolin. All this is to commemorate the continuous relationship between Bajin and West Lake. And by the West Lake, there has been a new cultural landscape with the content of commemorating Ba Jin.
Ba Jin has always been fond of the West Lake and would stay by it every time he came. In his "Random Thoughts", the most famous article about the establishment of the Museum of Modern Chinese Literature was written by the West Lake in 1981. Since the early 1990s, Ba Jin has gone to the West Lake to recuperate for a period of time almost every late spring and early summer. In Wangzhuang in 1994, even though he had difficulty writing, he still wrote the words "West Lake will always be in my heart" to express his love for West Lake.
At the Ba Jin and West Lake Photo Exhibition opened at the Jiangnan Literature Association, people can see video materials about Ba Jin in various periods, as well as the various imprints Ba Jin left on West Lake, including the impressions left by Ba Jin when he was creating beside the West Lake. Original manuscripts, books donated by Ba Jin to Zhejiang writers, etc. A large part of these precious historical materials come from the Ba Jin Research Association and Ms. Li Xiaolin. This exhibition was actually planned for a long time. It was originally planned to be held on the occasion of Balao’s 102nd birthday on November 25. Unfortunately, the old man passed away quietly.
Ba Jin once lived in the Creative House of the Writers Association near Lingyin for a long time, and created a large number of literary works in this room. The most special thing about this exhibition is the restoration of this room in Sui Lu, which displays the bed he slept on, the TV he watched, the desk he used and other daily necessities, recreating the original appearance of Ba Jin's residence in the House of Creation.
