Cultural value of Hongqiao Fengyulou

1955, when the expressway from Jishou to Fenghuang county was built, the buildings on the bridge were demolished and a highway bridge was built. In 2000, Guangdong Renzhong Group invested and maintained Hongqiao Storm Building for one year. Both sides of the bridge are still used as shops, specializing in cultural tourism supplies, and many calligraphy and sculpture works of domestic celebrity Jieshi are displayed upstairs for tourists to enjoy. As soon as you enter the stormy building, you will get a high-grade artistic enjoyment. So people are used to calling the stormy building Hongqiao Art Building.

Hongqiao Fengyulou, like the ancient city pool, has been smiling proudly for more than 600 years. Hongqiao, located on the Tuojiang River, was built in the early years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty. In the third year of the Republic of China (19 14), a once-in-a-century flood occurred in Tuojiang River, causing unprecedented disasters. Tian, then the governor of western Hunan, presided over the restoration of Hongqiao. After the restoration, the original wooden fence on the bridge was demolished and converted into a wooden house with hanging feet. There are 12 wooden houses of different sizes on both sides of the wooden house, with a pedestrian corridor in the middle. In 2000, in order to inherit the candle of history and culture, a visionary enterprise group invested in rebuilding the Storm Building in Hongqiao, and specially turned the second floor into a treasure house of folk culture and art treasures. Those famous painters and calligraphers who wrote about the phoenix in the past dynasties showed a quiet and lofty wise demeanor; Those precious handicrafts shine with artistic spirituality. No wonder Zhu Rongji, the former Prime Minister of the State Council, was so excited when he boarded the building. The colorful folk customs created by the people who grew up in Sri Lanka silently tell the endless story of a nation, from the quadrangle with the gable of Fengtou to the wooden house carved with flowers and carved with the moon, from the streets as dense as cobwebs to the flat bluestone road.
