Compared with history, human beings are very small. Zeng Guofan's name was once associated with "letters from home" and "Xiang Army". Yesterday, I was lucky enough to visit his former residence. The on-site tour guide's explanation deepened my superficial understanding of this celebrity.
This is the birthplace of Zeng Guofan in Bai Yutang. He spent about 26 years here, which was built by his grandfather. The scale of the house shows that his ancestors were relatively rich, but the furnishings were not rich enough and the display was not scientific enough.
Too much dust and poor protection. Tickets to 20 yuan, the road to the house is narrow, the traffic is a little inconvenient.
Tang Fu was built under the guidance of Zeng Guofan, located in Shuangfeng, Loudi, Hunan, more than ten kilometers away from Bai Yutang. Room 108, window 108, column 108. It's the quadrangle of Houmen Mansion, atmospheric but not luxurious. The house is arranged according to the central axis, and you can see a large green lawn as soon as you enter the door. On the left is the embroidery building, the drawing room and the library pavilion, and on the right is the granary-Siyuntang.
Among them, Yun Si Pavilion is an independent building, which was built by Zeng Guofan to honor his parents. The small building is surrounded by mountains and lakes, weeping willows and fragrant flowers. There are pavilions in the lake and paths by the lake. Beside the bamboo path, the breeze is gentle and affectionate.
A low wall and a wooden stick separate the noisy troops in this world. A few windows and a few squares show the elegance of literati everywhere. I seem to see the owner of this house sitting in the pavilion, a bookboy carrying bread rolls and a servant carrying tea. If you can cross, let me be a guest in this yard!
There is nothing better in life than watching fish, enjoying bamboo, reciting poems and painting.
Zeng's family motto, "Book, vegetables, fish and pigs should sweep the treasure early", has been practiced. The descendants of the Zeng family have now developed to the fifth generation. Their descendants are all married, mostly aristocratic families, such as those with Chiang Kai-shek.
Marshal Ye Jianying's beautiful wife Ceng Xianzhi is the great-granddaughter of Zeng Guofan's brother Ceng Guoquan. It can be seen that the old saying "the right person is the right person" is still very subtle and universally applicable.
Zeng's descendants are mostly scholars, great educators and few politicians. It seems that reading can bring long-term wealth and prosperity, and knowledge is wealth.
Before reaching the back hall of the mansion, farmers occasionally use bricks and tiles to build the walls at both ends of the house into upturned eaves, which is a bit like Huizhou architecture.
My sister speculated that, firstly, farmers may love beauty and want to make their houses unique, and secondly, many local migrant workers may go back to Anhui to follow suit.
I always feel a little imitated, because it's scattered, scattered. Now it seems that this may be influenced by Zeng, an aristocratic family in their hometown. (Zeng Guofan led troops to fight Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. Over time, if every household repairs their houses in this style, it may become the highlight of tourism development.
Thanks to my sister and brother-in-law's kindness, I specially took my family to drive to eat an authentic and delicious farm food.
I always accept your gifts, hehe. When have I ever listened to Zeng's "treasure" instruction and repaid my lover with love?
