Description of Yishi Shangshufang Scenic Spot:
Yishi Shangshufang is located in Dakengkou Village, Yingzhou Township, Jixi County, facing the Hu Ancestral Hall in Longchuan across the river. The workshop was built in the forty-first year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1562), and it has passed 442 years since then. The archway is made of imitation wood structure, with three doors, four columns and five floors, with a height of 1 meters and a width of 9 meters, facing north and south. The main structure consists of four columns, four fixed plates and seven foreheads. Although it is not as spectacular as the stone arch of the Ming Tombs in Beijing, it can also make people appreciate the majestic momentum.
The overall structure of the archway adopts the side foot method, which converges inward, and the four pillars erase the edges and corners, that is, the so-called corner column is also; The north and south directions of the column are supported by drum stones, which creates a dignified, steady and proud aesthetic effect; The roof of the square is a mountain-resting type, which is made of stone slabs in tea gardens, supported by a bucket arch and overhanging eaves. At both ends of the main ridges, the anchovies confront each other, and the flame beads are placed in the middle of the main ridge in the Ming Dynasty, and the eight corners soar. In the center of the main building, there is a vertical plaque of honor, which is surrounded by embossed dragon play beads. On the north and south sides of the lower flower board, Yi Shi Shang Shu and Yi Shi Gong Bao are engraved respectively. Calligraphy is fluent and elegant, and it is written by Wen Zhiming, a great calligrapher.
The four fixed plates of Yishi Shangshufang are lined with two lines and decorated with lotus petals. Beam-column joints are decorated with flowers and teeth. The carved pattern of the forehead is extremely exquisite, and the craftsman uses the round carving to do his best in carving techniques. Through carving, deep relief, shallow relief, hollowed-out carving and other techniques, exquisite and vivid pictures leap from the stone: Kun Peng spreads his wings, cranes soar, Tai Shi rolls the ball, and Ssangyong plays with pearls, with refined layout and deep conception, giving people a beautiful artistic enjoyment. In particular, a group of pictures in the north direction of the middle forehead are even more magical. The craftsman uses stone instead of paper and chisel as a pen to gallop in the vast artistic world: mountains, water, pavilions, platforms, buildings and pavilions; Civil and military officials, leisurely and carefree, each doing his own thing. Or playing in the forest, or exploring treasures in the sea of books, or fishing by the river alone, or talking about yin and yang. The life in Xanadu, the joy of peace and prosperity, can be vividly described here. The cold stone, passing through the hands of the craftsman, seems to emit bursts of heat flow, which makes people feel warm and comfortable. Guo Moruo once wrote a five-character poem to praise the artistic achievements of ancient architecture: heaven can be replaced by workers, but artificial heaven is not as good as it is. Sure enough, building the world is better than studying for ten years. Yishi Shangshufang is also an extraordinary example of this ancient architectural art achievement. Zheng Xiaoxie, a famous architect, once commented on Yishi Shangshufang as follows: As far as its carving art is concerned, it is slightly better than Xuguo Shifang, a national security unit in Shexian County. It can be seen that Yishi Shangshufang is priceless.
the so-called game world means the meaning of generation after generation. The workshop was built for Hu Fu, the minister of the Ministry of Housing, and Hu Zongxian, the minister of the Ministry of War. Hu Fu was a scholar of the Reform Movement of Ming Chenghua (1478) and Hu Zongxian was a scholar of the Reform Movement of Ming Jiajing (1538). They were just 6 years apart, so they were named Yishi.
Hu Fu (1445-1522) is the 3th grandson of Hu family in Longchuan, whose name is Yongnian. After the Jinshi, he was awarded the peace of Nanjing Dali Temple; In the early years of Hongzhi (1488), he served as a minister in Fujian, and later transferred to Guangdong as a deputy envoy. He was promoted to Hunan as a provincial judge, and successively served as a right envoy in Shaanxi, a left envoy, a Shuntian prefect, a Qing in Nanjing Dali Temple, and a minister in the household department. Because of his courage in dealing with things, he was especially strong in law enforcement, and then he was promoted to the minister of Nanjing Household Department. After his death, he gave the prince Shao Bao, with the title of Kang Hui. He is the author of the Collected Works of Feng Long. "History of Ming Dynasty" has its biography. In Longchuan, there was a mansion called Shangshufu, and Wen Zhiming inscribed the Hall of Mercy for its books. Regrettably, Shangshufu has been demolished, and only the plaque of the world's grace hall is left, which gives people a little comfort.
Hu Zongxian (1512-1565), the 34th grandson of the Hu family in Longchuan, was named Ruzhen, with the name Meilin. After the Jinshi, he was awarded Shandong Yidu Order, and was awarded for his political achievements. He was promoted to the third level and was appointed as the magistrate of Hangzhou. During this period, Hu Zongxian never forgot his ancestral teachings of serving as an official and benefiting one party, renovating the West Lake and expanding the Yue Temple, which was well received by the people. In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555), he was appointed as the censor of Zhejiang, and was immediately promoted to the governor, who was in charge of military affairs in seven provinces to resist the enemy and destroy the bandits. Hu Zongxian recruited talents and recruited Xu Wei, Shen Mingchen, Mao Kun and Wen Zhiming as aides; Boldly use Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Lu Tang and others as generals, formulate the strategy of attacking for the best, wrestling for the worst, suppressing and soothing at the same time, and divide and disintegrate, and move to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to quell the Japanese invasion. He was lonely and dangerous, and he made a lot of mistakes. After ten thousand deaths, he achieved great success. Due to Hu Zongxian's great contribution in safeguarding national dignity and national security, he won the honor with meritorious service, and became the first person in the feudal society of the Hu family in Longchuan. Hu Fu and Hu Zongwan, two feudal officials with boundless merits, won infinite glory for the Hu family in Longchuan. In order to commemorate them forever, people set up as many as 13 workshops for them, including 7 in Longchuan. However, these 13 stone architectural art works engraved with people's nostalgia have only left Yishi Shangshufang today. Yishi Shangshufang shows people, besides the extraordinary architectural sculpture art, there may be something else that makes people feel.
in July, 1986, Yishi Shangshufang was announced as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit by the Anhui provincial government.
