The Tang Family in Sulou Lane

Sulou Lane is located in the arcade area of Nanmen Old Town, Leizhou City, a national historical and cultural city. Separated from Zhenwutang, a cultural relic protection unit in Guangdong Province; Adjacent to Fubo Temple, a cultural relic protection unit in Zhanjiang City. East to South Gate, west to Baima Temple, south to Leicheng Street and north to Huancheng South Road.

The origin of the name of Sulou Lane is related to Su Shi and Su Zhelai Lei. Su Shi (1037—11year), a native of meishan county, Sichuan, was named Dongpo lay man. Su Zhe (1039-112), whose real name is Ziyou, is an old man who welcomes guests. In the second year of Jiayou (1057), he and his younger brother Su Shi were promoted to Jinshi with the rank of Shangshu Youcheng. Born four years ago in February (1097), he was demoted to Leizhou for opposing the use of reformists. He once lived in the south of Leizhou with his brother Su Shi, who was demoted to Hainan. After Sur lived, he cared about the sufferings of the people, and the people in the south of the city felt their kindness. They built a small building for Sur to study in summer and dug a well for Sur to drink. Later, in order to commemorate Sur, people in the south of the city named the Zhenwutang area of Leicheng where they lived as "Sulou Lane" and named this well as "Sugong Well".

Sulou Lane is a deep alley, irregular criss-crossing, with a narrow bend less than 4 meters wide, surrounded by hospitals, shops, markets and old and new houses. Like other Gu Xiang, she is ordinary, but she has a rich history and culture, and is even more famous for the arrival of Sur. Counting every blue brick, every gray tile and every pillar in Zhu Liang of Sulou Lane not only makes people feel the long years of Sulou Lane, but also makes people taste the fragrance of the ancient traces of the Millennium old lane.

Sulou Lane combines the ancient street and the ancient village of Gu Xiang. There are Zhenwutang, Gu Jing, Yizhixuan, Sulou, Jingzi Pavilion, Wenfufang, Waihan, Chujunzhai, Sulou Academy, Fubo Temple and many other cultural relics and historic sites. Every cultural relic is engraved with the memory of history!

Zhenwutang is located on the left side of the corner of Sulou Lane, next to Collet's office. In the middle of the night in autumn, the stars in the south garden pool fall, and the minister lai suo gets a stone; So the land was chosen to build Zhenwu Temple, and the county people respected it. During the Jian Yan period, it was not convenient for the county magistrate to enter the city with the class and move to Tianqing Temple. Tianqingguan is located in the Chenghuang Temple in the north of Leicheng Bell Tower. After the relocation, scholars tried again and again for several years, and the people complained. Shaoxing heart, county magistrate Gong Hu moved back to the site. Jingtai Hall has a long history. In the first year of Wanli, the villagers led the public to rebuild it. Jin Chen, a Wanli, raised funds to rebuild it. He built a lobby with a golden statue and pushed up a shrine and a fragrant pavilion, but the gate remained. Jin Chen, the second wife, and He Qilong, a colleague, built another archway outside the gate with the inscription "South Martial Arts School". "Nanhe" is the ancient name of Leizhou. "South of Wudang" means Wudang Mountain in Leizhou. Approaching Zhenwu Hall, I stopped to look up and saw the four characters "Southern Wudang" above the main entrance glittering and vigorous. On the bluestone walls on both sides, there are inscribed couplets: the immortal Luo Yan built a temple to attract people to practice martial arts, and the famous mountains in Su You lived in this temple and missed the past. It is said that Kou Zhun, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, was demoted by the court, content with the status quo and willing to run a school to teach villagers martial arts; Su Dongpo, a bachelor, was demoted to thunder, stayed in the temple neighborhood, and was in the wilderness, worried about the story that the court did not abandon poetry.

"Zhiyixuan" is located in front of Sugong Building in Sulou Lane. When Perilla was killed by Chen Lei, she was forbidden to be an official. Wu, a citizen of the county, built a house to live in. When Zishan was in Danzhou, my brother came for more than a month. Later Song Jingkang Bingwu Haikang, out of admiration for the Su brothers, bought a vacant lot in front of the hut where he once lived to build a "straight porch" and painted a portrait on the porch. Ding Chou, Jiading and Taishoumao chose Gai Lou, where he was at that time, as a demonstration. Chief Xue Zhifu restored the building as a shrine. In the eighth year of Xianchun, the county magistrate Chen Dazhen moved this building to the west of the lake to confront Kouci. Waste at the end of yuan dynasty. Ming Bing word, the county magistrate Wang chose its former site to build a building, with a veranda and dazzling, and engraved with Dongpo's welcome poem, which was later abandoned. Later, later generations carved Su Zhe's poem on the pavilion in the East Building: "Fairy Mountain is in the same place as the Buddhist country, and the world is opposite to the entrance." Facing the sea, you might as well build an idle building, and you can calculate the number of years. Looking from a distance, I know there is a small threshold not far from the city, where there must be a pine tree and a long thorn. Who knows that Mao Yan is knee-deep, and the sea and sky are full of rain. "Su Shi and Shi responded:" Ten people moved south and didn't return. They were studying Mercedes-Benz on the road. The world does not look back angrily, and the guests are familiar with each other. Shame on the world, add a small city. Hua Yan doesn't read river sand, but Yan Yangming wears the window. "

The octagonal well carved with bluestone rebuilt in Tongzhi for ten years seems to reflect yesterday's joys and sorrows. The antique land temples, such as Wenfufang and Wenguifang, located in the alley, make people realize Leizhou people's worship of the land. I also read from the poem that "Zhang Wen and Guo Hua called him an outstanding person, and he was rich and good at writing poems." Advocating the charm of civilization.

Not far from the corner of Sulou Lane, the house number is 005, and there is a brick house with mottled walls called "Ying Xing Reading Room". Libraries in Ying Xing have a long history. Chen Changqi, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, studied here when he was a child. After he became a sergeant, he wrote four characters "Ying Xing Library" in his own handwriting. Looking back, Ying Xing Library, an ancient folk house built for ancestors, is the only "library" preserved in Leicheng, which has precious historical value. Walking into the library is like being in the long river of history, from which I heard the sound of reading and reciting, and saw the joy and sadness of scholars entering and leaving the examination room. The Sulou Academy with red walls and grey tiles gives people the impression that "3,000 students in Leiyang are enlightened, and the scholars in Haiyi are blessed"!

Entering from Qingshiban Road in Sulou Lane, you will see the Tang family's ancient house. One is an ancient house, with three big characters "Fan Zuodi" embedded in the door. As soon as I opened the door, the courtyard was deep; One is "Chu Zhai Jun", and the door is locked. It is said that due to historical reasons, "Chu" did not live in a place named Tang, but the owner of the ancient house has moved to Maiyu Street. "Fan Zuodi" and "Chu Zhai Jun" are antique, with the same style, simple and dignified, thick and incomparable, telling the passage of time and silently telling people the extraordinary life experience and glory of their former owners. The ancient house of Tang family is a precious cultural relic that surnamed tang people are proud of, and it is an immeasurable spiritual wealth. It passed on the power of development and struggle to future generations!

Fubo Temple is a temple built by Leizhou people to commemorate the great achievements of General Fu Bo. Adjacent to horseshoe well, located at the end of Sulou Lane, on the slope of a step, it is dignified and dignified. Founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this temple is one of the temples in ancient Miao Tong in Lingnan. On both sides of the main entrance and the second entrance of the temple, there are couplets: "East and West assisted masterpieces, and climbed the Tanling Sea before and after", "The rich recalled the past and Boping Beihai flourished from generation to generation". There are full-length statues of two Fu Bo generals in the temple, namely, Lu Bode in the Western Han Dynasty and Ma Yuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Approaching Fubo Temple, you will naturally think of the legendary story of Ma Yuan leading an army south to crusade against rebellion. Ma Yuan led his troops south to suppress the rebellion. It was midsummer, and the soldiers were exhausted and their throats were like fire, while the fresh water supply was destroyed by theft. At this time, Ma Yuan's magic colt bravely plowed three feet into the soil, and the spring suddenly gushed out, and everyone felt refreshed after drinking it. When the people heard the news, they flocked to take the spring to solve the problem. In order to commemorate the foal's achievements, Ma Yuan ordered a bronze column to be erected next to the foal, waving a sword and carving it on the "horseshoe well". This well is still beside Leicheng Avenue at the foot of Fubo Temple, and the well water is still pure. Every year on the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, people in the city are invited to enjoy the cool moon cakes by the well, enjoy the full moon in the sky and listen to the sound of hooves coming from the well. The feeling of happiness came suddenly!

There are also many legends circulating in Sulou Lane.

According to legend, in the fourth year of Song Shaosheng (1097), Su Zhe was framed by the traitor Zhang Dun and exiled to Leizhou. He took his family and servants, and after "ten people moved south" to Leizhou, he rented the house of Langwu, the ancestral temple. That is a very humble and very old house. Although the house is simple, it is fresh for Su Zhe who lives in a different place and has a house. But for Zhang Dun, Su Zhe must be killed. Sent an unannounced visit to investigate and falsely accused Su Zheqiang of occupying the house. As a last resort, Su Zhe had to hand over the lease contract and receipt in black and white to Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun was speechless and bears a grudge. To this end, Zhang Feng, the magistrate of Leizhou, and Chen E, the magistrate of Haikang County, were all implicated: "Sit still for ten years".

There is a coincidence. Soon, Zhang Dun was also demoted to Leizhou. He met the problem that Su Zhe met last time and wanted to rent a house. He asked Wu who was the landlord who rented the house to Su Zhe last time. This road is very narrow. When he saw a traitor, he refused. Zhang Dun said angrily, others can rent this house, why can't I? Wu beat him and said, Prime Minister Zhang, why are you playing dumb? Last time Su Gong came to rent my house, you not only killed Su Gong, but also forced me to almost destroy my family. You didn't come to kill me by renting a house today, did you? Rent or get out! Zhang Dun was ashamed after hearing this, and turned away awkwardly!

This story shows that people in Sulou Lane uphold justice, distinguish between good and evil, and distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Because of this, Sulou Lane has become a place where countless honest officials, literati and businessmen compete to live in this house. They want to be neighbors with righteousness and partners with loyalty. For example, He Zemin, a scholar in Leizhou in the Yuan Dynasty, Shang Shu, an official in the Ming Dynasty, the second son of a university student in Wuyingdian, and many surnames such as Tang, Weng and Chen all came to Sulou Lane to live and multiply together!

The Tang family has lived in Sulou Lane since the Qing Dynasty. Yue Qiong's ancestor, the descendant of Tang Yulin, the prefect of Leizhou, was the 14th dog butcher (Xian Xigong), who originally lived in Shanhou Village, Taiping Town, Mazhang. Legend has it that Xian Xigong is in the business of killing dogs and is called "dog killer". At that time, the dog beater accidentally killed the dog, causing a fire, harming neighbors, burning down several houses of neighbors, and fleeing to live in Baisha, Leizhou (Haikang) alone. It has been more than 400 years since Yi Long, the son of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, moved to Sulou Lane. Over time, wealth prospered, and many families amassed treasures and had many descendants. Now the population is over 350.

There are many anecdotes about outstanding people and celebrities in Sulou Lane. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, generations of historical celebrities, loyal people and revolutionaries have been nurtured. For example, Jia Xu Jinshi in Ming Dynasty and He Xuanhua in Zhejiang Province; Xuancheng master book, patent seal supervision suggestion He Zhen; In the Qing dynasty, Kangxi appointed Chen as a juren and Yiyang county magistrate; "Father and son division" (that is, father and son juren) Chen Zongxu and Chen Huan Wen; Kangxi juren, Qingyun magistrate, Chen Yu Gao Tu Weng Ruyi; President of Guangzhou High Court, revolutionist studying in Japan, and foreign language scholar Wu Hua in the Republic of China. Some talents from Sulou Lane also come from Tangmen. According to incomplete statistics, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were 22 Tang people in Sulou Lane, including scholars, students, Gong Sheng, Deng Shilang and Xiuzhilang. Such as scholars Tang Yu, Tang Yunlou, Tang Zhong, Tang Hongbao, and Tang Ruchun, the magistrate of Yuyao County, Zhejiang Province. After liberation, with the social progress and economic development, Sulou Lane has continued the vein of cultural masters for thousands of years, with a higher education level and more and more outstanding talents. Down is more talented. For example, Tang Rujun has served as the principal of Leizhou Normal School and the principal of Haitang County No.1 Middle School. Professor Tang of Beijing Friendship Hospital; Tang Yilin, who went abroad as a scientist in China; After teaching for 60 years, Taoli has spread all over the world, known as Tang Wenzhen, the grandmaster; Tang Jian, director of Zhanjiang Development Zone Transportation Bureau, and Tang You, director of Guangzhou Shipping Bureau. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were 35 undergraduate and graduate students of Down's in Sulou Lane, and there were countless junior college and technical secondary school students.

Sulou Lane is also a busy business place. There is a market in Sulou Lane. There are barbecue, fish and shrimp and other seafood products in the market, as well as vegetables, non-staple food stalls and grocery stores. Morning and evening are the prime time for trading, and people come and go in the market, which is very lively. Listening to the vendors' hawking and customers' bargaining sounds, it seems that people have returned to Sulou Lane more than 1000 years ago, and saw the scene of the market "moving three or four times a day, selling shrimp and fish everywhere".

The Tang people living in Sulou Lane inherit and carry forward the virtues and deeds of their ancestors, and strive for survival and development through hard work. In addition to doing business outside, teaching, building industry or working, some people also do business at home. Engaged in agricultural production, work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and work hard; Small business, hospitality, conscience business, good quality and low price, honesty first, prosperous business. The income of the Tang family in Sulou Lane has increased, and there are all kinds of household appliances. Almost every household has a car and lives a happy life!

Walking out of Sulou Lane and on the quiet, noisy, ancient and modern stone road, I lamented the long history and rich culture of Sulou Lane, and admired the Tang people who lived in Sulou Lane and were able to fight and win.
