Travel guide from Zhengzhou to Kangbaiwan Manor

Zhongyuan haohua kangbaiwan manor

Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, the civilization of Henan merchants followed. In the birthplace of Hutuluo, at the intersection of ancient cultures in the Central Plains, and along the tourist routes of Huang Zheng, Bianluo and Luoyi, there is a bright pearl shining brightly, which is a large feudal landlord manor spanning the three historical periods of Ming, Qing and Republic of China-gongyi city Kang Million Manor. Manor was named as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 200 1 and was approved as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction in 2005.

Kang Million Manor is a large-scale feudal landlord manor spanning the three periods of Ming, Qing and Republic of China. It is backed by Mangling, facing Luoshui, facing the natural barrier of the Yellow River in the north and the Song Yue barrier in the south, with beautiful environment and dangerous terrain. Although it was made by people, it fully embodies China's traditional concept of "harmony between man and nature, learning from nature". It is located between Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, and Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties. It is 70 kilometers away from Zhengzhou, 60 kilometers away from Luoyang and 4 kilometers away from Gongyi exit of Lianhuo Expressway. Gongyi City 1 1 Bus and1KLOC-0/Tourist Bus have direct access and convenient transportation.

Kang million businesses started in the Ming Dynasty, flourished in the early Qing Dynasty, reached its peak at its peak, gradually declined after Xianfeng and declined in the middle of the Republic of China. From the sixth ancestor Kang Shaojing to the eighteenth ancestor Kang, spanning the three historical periods of Ming, Qing and Republic of China to the twelfth generation, it has been enriched for more than 400 years. Rich in Jiayu, Shandong and Shaanxi provinces, the wealth is countless. "Headrest Jingyang, Xi 'an, foot Linyi, Jinan; It is a true portrayal that horses run thousands of miles without eating other grass, and people walk thousands of miles full of Kangjiatian.

Maybe someone will ask: Who is Kang Million? "Kang Million" refers not only to a specific individual, but to the entire Kang family represented by Kang Yingkui since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. "Kang Million" made a fortune by river transportation, land transportation and "contribution", and was awarded many times by the imperial court. At the highest level, the official was awarded the title of county magistrate many times. Among them, Kang Shaojing, the sixth ancestor at the beginning of his business, Kang Dayong, the owner of the12nd generation manor, Kang Yingkui, the owner of the14th generation manor who was rich in three provinces and hung the "Qianqing" brand twice, Kang Daoshun, the owner of the15th generation manor who was in the third place and built a big building, and the owner of the/who took Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu back to the palace. ...

In order to show their identity, the Kang Million family built a huge landlord manor. The whole manor consists of 19, covering an area of more than 240 mu. It is solemn, magnificent and elegant. It is a magnificent building complex integrating "ancient, large, elegant and beautiful". It is called 17 and 18 century feudal fortress on the loess plateau in northern China, and it is the representative of architecture. The manor was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and took shape in the early Ming and early Qing Dynasties. During the construction process, buildings of Ming Dynasty such as Sigou and Zhanggou were gradually formed, and buildings of Qing Dynasty with different functions, such as Longwogou, Nanyuan, Banfang, shops, breeding areas, ancestral halls, timber factories, shipyards and Jinguzhai, were the main residential areas in the village, supplemented by auxiliary buildings such as steles, archways and gardens, forming a well-functioning building with mountains and rivers. Nowadays, despite the vicissitudes of hundreds of years, it is not difficult to find that the blue tile cornices and high walls not only bear a heavy history, but also represent a blood-related inheritance and the essence of a region, showing the profound Chinese civilization through just visiting.

At present, Kang Million Manor mainly contains ten parts, including main residential area, board house area, south yard and ancestral hall area, with a construction area of 64,300 square meters. Today, I mainly visit the main residential area in Zhaishang, which is one of the whole manor 19. This complex is located in the middle of Mangshan Mountain and looks like a lotus flower on the bank of Luohe River from a distance. Seen from a height, its terrain looks like a turtle drinking water in the Luohe River. As far as the geomantic omen we usually say is concerned, it also means "golden turtle exploring the water", and the big turtle was also called ao in ancient times. It is said that the Kang family's construction of residential areas here also means "taking the lead", which means that people and money are empty. On the other hand, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Nian Army revolted constantly, so it was more practical to set up a village in times of peace.

The architectural style of Kang Million Manor is different from the courtyard and gang culture of Shanxi merchants, and it is also different from the villa and theater pattern of Huizhou merchants. According to the traditional culture of "harmony between man and nature", it builds buildings in the street, caves in the mountains, docks by the river and roadblocks according to risks. It not only retains the form of houses in the Loess Plateau and quadrangles in the north, but also absorbs the characteristics of government, gardens and military fortress buildings, with complete categories and reasonable layout.

As for the glorious history of "Kang Million", people even talk about it: 1900, Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi took Emperor Guangxu and fled to An in a hurry. In the second year, that is, 190 1 year, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu returned to Beijing and passed by Gong County. Due to the famine in Henan at that time, the financial situation was poor. Let the Kang family invest in Yingbin Palace. Because I don't know whether Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu will go by water or land, I made two preparations. First, they built a palace in East Heishiguan and a pontoon bridge on the Luohe River. In addition, they also built five dragon boats on the Luohe River in Gongxian County. In order to park these five big ships, they specially built five docks on the east bank of Beiluoshui River in Nanyaowan Village, commonly known as Longyao. Therefore, when we arrived in Gongyi, we only stayed in this palace for one night. Before leaving the next day, Kang donated 654.38+0.2 million silver to Cixi through Li. Cixi was very happy and said, "I didn't know there were millionaires here", so the title of Kang Million became famous all over the world through Cixi's golden mouth.

Kang Million Manor is not only famous for its ancient architectural features, but also praised for its profound cultural heritage. Its ubiquitous details make the manor more charming. Brick carving, wood carving, stone carving and other artistic components all over the manor are exquisite in knife work, skilled in technology, rich in content and both in form and spirit. Among them, there are many philosophical carvings such as "learning from teachers", "respecting the old and loving the young", "determined to become a talent" and "winning the championship with five sons". They are not only the crystallization of the wisdom of working people, but also rare artistic treasures. Kang million's carving techniques are different. More than 4,000 precious cultural relics, such as furniture, antiques, celebrity paintings and calligraphy used by the Kang family, were exhibited in the manor, which not only reproduced the original appearance of luxurious life at that time, but also reflected the social customs at that time. As a special product of a specific historical period, Kang Million Manor has profound historical accumulation and rich artistic connotation, which has important reference value for studying the history of ancient architecture in China and the folk customs in the Central Plains.

The historical value, scientific value and artistic value of Kang Million Manor have always been valued by experts at home and abroad. Li Chuanze, a famous architect in China, called the manor "the most complete and typical representative of hard mountain architecture in China", and many experts called it "the treasure of traditional architecture and the model of folk art" after visiting it.

Kang million manor, it is a symbol left by history, a microcosm of the times, a witness to the vicissitudes of family history …
