Chen Bangren studies ancient locks in his study Xiahaixuan
"Xiahaixuan" has three meanings. First, Shanghai has always had the saying of "Shanghai" and "Xiahai". At that time, Chen Bangren's workplace and residence were within the "Xiahai" area. There was also a famous temple in the Xiahai area - the "Xiahai Temple". This means taking the region. Secondly, Xiahai means half of Shanghai. In his work, Chen Bangren is determined to make new contributions to the people and strives to create a career half as good as that of Shanghai. At that time, he was the policeman responsible for the comprehensive management of social security at the Tangshan Road Police Station of the Hongkou Public Security Bureau. He was engaged in education and rescuing delinquent youths. He founded the Tangshan Road Police Station Family Education School and served as the principal; he jointly founded the Tangshan Road Police Station Family Education School and the Shanghai Juvenile Correctional Institution. Zhu Jimin, director of the juvenile detention center, is the principal of the Huichun Parent School in Hongkou District, Shanghai, and he is the vice principal; he also organized young police officers in the police station to establish the Tangshan Road Police Station Public Security Work Research Group, and he was elected as the group leader to lead the entire group. Exploring the work patterns of public security, remarkable achievements have been made in various tasks such as education, rescuing delinquent youths, and investigating and solving crimes. Shanghai's "Liberation Daily", "Wen Wei Po", "Xinmin Evening News", "Youth Daily", "People's Police", "Young Generation", Shanghai TV and many other media have reported on it. In particular, "Wen Wei Po" also introduced the deeds of the Public Security Work Research Group. After seeing it, Yu Sang, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security at that time, gave instructions: "New things happening among the grassroots police must be studied and investigated." Then Comrade Xie Heng, director of the third bureau, was sent to the Tangshan Road Police Station to inspect in person and inspected Chen Bangren. They offer enthusiastic encouragement. Therefore, Chen Bangren has been rated as advanced many times and also won the honorary title of third-class meritorious official. These contain the meaning of "half Shanghai".

Chen Bangren and others opened up employment opportunities for delinquent youths and established employment bases for delinquent youths - Tangshan Lifting and Handling Service Team and Haixin (which means Shanghai Newcomers) Flower and Tree Store to widely absorb these temporarily lost lambs to enter the sea and enter the right path. bright.
The inscription "Xiahaixuan" was written by Mr. Wang Gezhen, a famous calligrapher and painter. Mr. Liu Bonian, who was 81 years old at the time, was a student of Wang Geyi. He also made a wall addition to the "Xiahaixuan". He hand-recorded a couplet by Zheng Banqiao: "There is no need for a large room to be elegant when there is not much fragrance of flowers." After being framed, It was once hung in the hall of "Haixin Flower and Tree Store" and also in the comprehensive management office. After Chen Bangren retired, he hung him at home as his own name. Lock and Key Bookstore
Most people think that locks and keys are inconspicuous household hardware and are unrefined and unrefined. In fact, they are not ordinary collections, but historical evidence, which should not be underestimated. The word "lock key" means "an important pass". The meaning of "lock key" is to explain the importance of collecting lock keys, and to illustrate that the historical value, artistic value and practical value of collecting lock keys are not small and should not be underestimated. "Lock Key Bookstore" regular script was inscribed by Mr. Zhao Lengyue, a famous calligrapher in Shanghai. Bai Suo Zhai
It is a handwriting written by Mr. Chen Sahan, a famous poet in Taipei. "Hundred Suo Zhai" is derived from the meaning of "Hundred Longevity Picture" and "Hundred Fortune Picture" in traditional auspicious culture. Judging from the numbers, the limit of a hundred is "three nines" (that is, nine hundred and ninety-nine), which is also an indicator of Chen Bangren's collection. Now the ancient Chinese lock he owns has exceeded the limit of a hundred and has been promoted to a thousand-character size. .
Mr. Chen Sahan is the brother of Chen Bangren’s good friend Chen Jianzhang. Every time Mr. Chen comes to Shanghai to visit relatives, he often invites Chen Bangren to get together or go out to play, and they have a deep friendship. Chen Bangren once used a brocade box to contain a bronze key (harpoon-shaped) for opening ancient locks, and attached four lines of poetry as a gift to him: "I gave the fishing key to my brother and kept it in Taipei, and the bronze lock was left to my brother to hide in the mainland. One day when I return, Kunzhong on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will Let's enjoy together."
Chen Sahan used his unique and ancient regular script to inscribe two "Bai Suo Zhai" plaques and banners for him to choose from. In 1990, Chen Sahan learned that Chen Bangren loved "My Baby" (an introduction to various antiques she collected) written by Taiwanese writer San Mao. Because this book was not available in mainland bookstores at the time, he specially bought a copy in Taipei. It was sent to him and included three poems, which filled the title page. One of the poems goes: "Fine words come through the clouds and across the sea, feeling your friendship and recognizing your talent. Returning to my homeland this autumn, my chat room opens up in Bai Suo Zhai." This poem was later published in the Poetry Garden column of Taipei's "Xinsheng News" . Yangtuan Building
In 2003, Chen Bangren bought a small high-rise house with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms in Hengye Lude Huayuan, Hongkou District. The building area was 131 square meters, which he shared with his eldest son and his family of three. live. In the 30-square-meter living room, he customized four teak wood two-door cabinets, one single corner cabinet, and a total of five cabinets to display collections as a private collection. The largest room is 16.8 square meters and serves as a bedroom and study room for him and his wife. The new home faces southeast and has large floor-to-ceiling windows with good lighting and ventilation, making people feel very comfortable and comfortable. Looking up at the blue sky and white clouds through the window, the gentle breeze blows; overlooking the earth, it is lush green. Just as Wang Xizhi said in the "Preface to the Lanting Collection": "Looking up at the vastness of the universe, looking down at the prosperity of categories, so wandering around with your eyes and wandering your mind is enough to provide you with great audio-visual entertainment, which is a joy to believe." Chen Bangren picked up "Looking Up" from it. With two characters, he ordered the name of Xinzhai to be "Yangpiaolou" to show his kindness, and he personally carved the seal of Bai Wenzhai's name in gold inscriptions: "Yangpiaolou".
