Why are there so many Republic Style buildings in Suzhou?

At the beginning of the last century, Suzhou, as a trading port, was influenced by foreign culture at the same time. After the Opium War, a large number of western architectural styles emerged one after another. Under this background, in addition to many buildings with the style of the Republic of China, some streets in Suzhou have even become "streets with the style of the Republic of China", such as "May 31th Road".

Wu31th Road, named to commemorate the "May 31th Massacre", has the familiar Tongdeli and Tongyili at its north end near Ganjiang Road.

Tongdeli, Tongyili

Tongdeli and Tongyili next door, two parallel alleys were built in the 1931s, which are typical Shikumen buildings. Some houses are red brick exterior walls, others are clear water exterior walls, and most of them are in the shape of traditional three-way courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River, with a courtyard in front of the building.

As the location of Su's old house in the hit TV series Everything's Fine, Tongdeli has become a popular punching place in recent years. The historic buildings, narrow alleys and patios of old houses here make you feel the breath of life in an instant.

May 31th Road

There are some sealed Shikumen at the southern end of May 31th Road. The reliefs on them tell the history of the May 31th Massacre, and the portraits vividly reproduce the patriotic feats of Suzhou people.

The building of the Republic of China behind the Shikumen where the relief is located is Xinfuli, a residential group of Shikumen in the sea lane.

Xinfuli

It was named Xinfuli because in 22 years of the Republic of China (1933), Xinfuli Bank bought this piece of real estate originally belonging to the third district of Jiangsu Marine Police and built it. There were six small two-story buildings, but now only five have survived.

There are many buildings of the Republic of China similar to Tongdeli and Xinfuli in Suzhou. These places are not only a window to see the lifestyle of some people at that time, but also a good place for modern people to experience the "Republic of China customs".

Zhirenli

Zhirenli Republic of China building is located in Xiatang, Changmen Hotel in the northwest corner of Suzhou ancient city, with a total length of more than 161 meters from east to west. It was built by a businessman named Que in the 1921s. At the beginning of construction, the building here was aimed at living.

In p>2119, Zhirenli was selected as the "Important New Discovery of the Third National Cultural Relics Survey in 2118" edited by National Cultural Heritage Administration, and was listed as the sixth batch of Suzhou cultural relics protection units by the municipal government in July of the same year. In February 2111, Zhirenli Republic of China architecture was listed as the seventh batch of Jiangsu cultural relics protection units by the provincial government.

The building faces south, and there are six groups of bungalows, six groups of buildings and two garden houses. It is a representative of the large-scale building group of real estate leasing in the Republic of China. The whole Zhiren Lane is huge in scale, connected by arcades and integrated. The Zhirenli complex has both traces of western architecture and traditional wooden structures. There are both high-grade buildings and ordinary bungalows, which are rich in types and distinctive in the times, which is very rare.

These buildings of different styles and sizes of the Republic of China are arranged in three rows, which constitute the buildings of the Republic of China in Zhirenli. It is a combination of Chinese and western architectural forms during the Republic of China, and it is also a typical masterpiece of the development of Soviet-style courtyards in this period, with outstanding historical value.

Changmen North Wharf

Separated from Shantang Street by a river, there is also a amorous feelings street that carries the history of the Republic of China-Changmen North Wharf. As the hub of Suzhou's land and water transportation, the former Changmen North Wharf extended in all directions and was bustling. From the beginning of the last century to the 1941s, the North Wharf was mainly inhabited by business owners, doctors and other middle-class people. At that time, it had a considerable position, and then it declined.

Today, the North Wharf of Changmen has been transformed into a street with the style of the Republic of China, which is in harmony with Xizhong City and across the river from Shantang Street. The 711-meter-long North Wharf Minguo Style Street consists of two renovated buildings and more than ten imitation buildings. The combination of exquisite Chinese architecture and luxurious and elegant European decoration forms the architectural style of the Republic of China.

The two famous foreign buildings in the North Wharf, named after the real construction year, are now called "1929" and "1931", which can be regarded as the most representative buildings in the Republic of China. They have traditional quadrangles and traditional wooden frames in China, and are influenced by foreign architectural styles at the beginning of the 21th century, which condensed the development process of Suzhou's modern architecture and were included in the Suzhou style architecture protection series.

From these two buildings, we can get a glimpse of the architectural style of "combining Chinese and Western" in the Republic of China and the wealth and fashion of the owners at that time. At present, the Changmen North Wharf has become a characteristic business district integrating the historical landscape of the city wall and the waterfront landscape of the moat, attracting many citizens and tourists to punch in.

Jinguli

It is located in the northern section of Pingjiang Road Historic District in Suzhou and Jinguli on the Pingjiang River. The original site is Wuxian Embroidery Factory. Close to Humble Administrator's Garden, Suzhou Museum, Lion Forest, Pingjiang Road and other tourist attractions, its unique geographical location makes it a punching place for many citizens and tourists to visit Pingjiang Road.

Jinguli focuses on three sections, namely, art museum, art hotel and Tang Hui performance, and carries out all kinds of tourism product activities by means of various art exhibitions, accommodation in humanities hotels, Quyi performances, leisure experience of Wu culture, and IP image development of urban humanities tourism.

Jinguli has the characteristics of the Republic of China and the overall style of Soviet elements, which beautifies the northern section of Pingjiang Road and enhances the cultural connotation. Both classical and modern fit the humanistic temperament of Suzhou Millennium ancient city, and it is very suitable to take photos and punch cards ~

Dongmen Town

At the intersection of Zhujiang Road and Huayuan Road in Mudu Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou, there is a characteristic block-Dongmen Town, which can make you instantly cross the Republic of China decades ago. After this year's rail transit line 5 runs, you can get there quickly by coming out of the Huayuan Road subway entrance.

Long locomotives, old alleys, posters, cultural corridors, old cars, old carriages, rickshaws ... The details are really touching. I don't know if I have strayed into the set of a drama of the Republic of China. The garden building shows the style of the Republic of China, which combines Chinese and western styles. The cultural walls, bell towers, rickshaws and classic cars of the Republic of China remain full of ancient meanings. When night falls, the lights on the whole street will light up, which will give people a dreamlike feeling of "I don't know what year it is tonight".

Besides the architectural features and humanistic elements of the Republic of China, it is also a film and television shooting base, which inherits a unique historical and cultural atmosphere. It also combines cultural industries, garden homestays, light luxury food, etc., and is full of literary atmosphere.

Silkworm Block

Silkworm Block, which emerged at the historic moment in the original site of a large silkworm breeding farm in Xushuguan, a high-tech zone, is one of the theme plates of the Xuguan Wharf Project. Blue-gray brick walls, arched corridors, and stone roads on the ground, full of architectural style of the Republic of China, can pull you back to the 1931s at once ~

In addition to the above-mentioned places, there are: Sulunchang, Suzhou University and Huayi Brothers Movie World. Day 2: One-day tour of the classic route of the ancient city of Suzhou (with recommended punching points)

Suzhou Museum-Loyal Wangfu-Humble Administrator's Garden-Pingjiang Road

First stop: Suzhou Museum

It can be said that this is the place that everyone who visits Suzhou for the first time will definitely want to go, and it is also the starting point of our route. Taking Subo as a starting point, firstly, because it is well-known and comes from the hands of design masters, people who admire punching cards are in an endless stream; Secondly, as the most intuitive presentation of a city's cultural connotation, the museum is the best start for us to understand a city. Let's start with Subo as our first stop.

Keywords: architecture

The color tone of Subo takes the traditional white wall and tile as the element, which adds a new interpretation connotation to the architectural symbols in the south of the Yangtze River. In terms of architectural structure, the design of the roof form has broken through the constraints of the traditional building "big roof" in China in terms of lighting, and the glass and open steel structure can allow the indoor room to borrow a large skylight.

Subo's horticultural landscape design is extracted from the essence of Suzhou classical gardens. The creative landscape garden composed of ponds, rockeries, bridges, pavilions and bamboo forests is organically combined with traditional gardens, creatively integrating museums, ancient buildings and gardens.

Keywords: skylight

The glass roof and stone roof of Subo set off each other, which is not only pleasing to the eye in visual modeling, but also ingenious in use function, making natural light enter the activity area and exhibition area of the museum through the light and shadow interwoven by metal shading strips covered with wood.

the gradation changes caused by the adjustment and filtering of light through soft shade bars, as well as the contrast between light and shade in different spaces, seem to make the surrounding lines flow, making people poetic and wonderful.

I.M. Pei loves triangles and light, and "let the light do the design" is a famous saying of Bayes. The combination of light and space creates the change of light and shadow through simple geometric lines, making the space changeable, making the scenery change with the pace, the angle of view and the mood, and making people have different horizons and feelings with the help of the flickering of light. The change of light in each corridor of Subo is the most worthy of meditation besides exhibits and buildings.

Keywords: national treasure

Most people are more interested in Subo's architecture than its collection, thinking that Subo's collection is average, in fact, many collections in Subo's collection are very worth seeing.

Among them, the Zhenzhu Relic Treasure House, which was listed in CCTV's National Treasure, is one of them. This treasure house integrates Suzhou's wood carving, gold tracing, jade carving, bead piercing and gold and silver fine work at that time. The whole treasure house uses more than 41,111 pearls, which embodies the wisdom and painstaking efforts of skilled craftsmen at that time, and can be called "the treasure of the town hall" by Su Bo.

Must-take location

1. Facing south on the courtyard curved bridge, you can take symmetrical beautiful pictures of Subo architecture.

2. On sunny days, the glass shadow of Wisteria Garden can take particularly beautiful portrait photos.

3. Su Botong's corridor with pure white walls and white tiles blended with the artistic conception of Chinese painting, which is definitely a must for photographers!

Second stop: Loyal Palace

Loyal Palace, which is overlooked by many people, is well worth seeing. As a part of Suzhou Museum, it no longer plays an exhibition role, because its architectural style is very different from that of Subo, which is often overlooked by tourists. But in fact, it contains Gankun, and the hand-planted wisteria of Wenhengshan, which is called a "national treasure", is also in the present loyal palace.

Keywords: hand-planted wisteria in Wenheng Mountain

Wen Zhiming hand-planted wisteria, which is an ancient and famous landscape in Suzhou gardens, is located in the corner of the inner courtyard of the central garden of the former Humble Administrator's Garden, and now this area has been placed in the loyal palace next door. This wisteria was planted by Wen Zhiming, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, when the Humble Administrator's Garden was built. Wen Zhiming was a famous painter and calligrapher in Ming Dynasty and one of the founders of wu school.

He has a close relationship with Wang Xianchen, the owner of the Humble Administrator's Garden. After the completion of the Humble Administrator's Garden, Wang often invited him to have a banquet to enjoy the tour. Wen Zhiming is an anthomaniac who is crazy about wisteria. While he was in my humble administrator's garden, he also planted this wisteria in the garden with his own hands, which has been more than 411 years. The trunk of this wisteria tree is 22 cm in diameter at breast height, and it is twisted and curved, with a crane-shaped dragon. When it is in flower, it hangs like a string of purple jade, which is of great ornamental value. It is known as one of the "Three Musts in Suzhou" and was listed in CCTV's "National Treasure" in February 2121.

Zhongwangfu used to be the Eight Banners Zhili Guild Hall, so many northern architectural styles and features have been incorporated into the architectural style of Suzhou, such as the "quadrangle" in Zhongwangfu, which is unique among the classical buildings in Suzhou.

In addition, the guild hall is a gathering place for fellow villagers, and it is also a place for businessmen to discuss trade, and a stage is often built. The classical stage is the building of Zhongwangfu East Road, which was built by the Eight Banners Fengzhi Hall using the courtyard of the southern quadrangle. After several repairs, it has basically maintained its original appearance and is one of the well-preserved indoor classical stages in China.

Must-take location

In the afternoon with sunshine, Wisteria Garden will form distinct light and dark sections under the sunlight, which can take good photos.

Third stop: Humble Administrator's Garden

Come out of Zhongwangfu, make a slight left turn, and then go back to Northeast Street. After a few dozen steps, you will arrive at Humble Administrator's Garden, one of the four famous gardens in China and the most famous tourist attraction in Suzhou.

this garden was built in the Ming dynasty, and it was designed by Wen Zhiming, four great talents. I won't repeat the history of Humble Administrator's Garden here, as long as I have listened to the tour guide's explanation, I can probably understand it. As for how to play it, it can provide some suggestions, so that everyone can have some different experiences whether they are playing by themselves or visiting with a group.

Keywords: borrowing scenery and contrasting scenery

Borrowing scenery is a gardening skill that many Suzhou gardens will use, and the pond in the middle garden of Humble Administrator's Garden is the best one. Its object of borrowing scenery is the North Temple Tower, the first height of Suzhou ancient city, which is two kilometers away. Standing at the entrance of the cloister in the central garden, overlooking the North Temple Tower, you will definitely sigh the exquisite gardening techniques of the ancients.

Another wonderful point of Humble Administrator's Garden is to look at the scenery of "Xuexiang Yunwei Pavilion" and Jiashi Pavilion through the moon door engraved with "Cuiwan", which will also make people feel that the ancient people's gardening "ingenuity" is really great.

Keywords: four seasons are different

Humble Administrator's Garden is different at four seasons, and all the most beautiful colors in Suzhou are concentrated in a small garden. Spring in the city forest is tender green; Summer in the lotus pond is pink; The Humble Administrator's Garden in the autumn aerial photography can be called "absolutely beautiful"; And if you are lucky enough to have seen the humble administrator's garden after the snow, you almost have a chance to travel back to ancient times.

Fourth stop: Pingjiang Road

The fourth stop, we exit from Humble Administrator's Garden, cross Northeast Street, and go south along Baijiaxiang, which is Pingjiang Road. There are two ways to swim in Pingjiang River, one is by boat, and the other is on foot. By boat, you can be hydrophilic and experience the real "when you meet in Gusu, people will do their best to pillow the river"; Hiking is leisurely, and strolling through the city's water towns is not interesting.

Keywords: River Street Adjacent

As long as you have heard the introduction of Suzhou's urban history, you should have heard the words "land and water parallel, river street adjacent". The typical example of "parallel land and water, adjacent rivers and streets" is Pingjiang Road. Not only is there Ping Jianghe on the main street, but almost every small street is accompanied by a small river. This criss-crossing "double chessboard" shape has lasted for thousands of years in the ancient city of Suzhou.

If you happen to have a Picture of Pingjiang in the Song Dynasty in your hand, you can try to find it when you walk on Pingjiang Road. You can still find their positions in almost every alley on the picture.

Keywords: hand-cranked boat

Swimming in Pingjiang is the best way to experience Suzhou on the water. Boats sail in the river and people are on the shore. White walls and black tiles are the true colors of Suzhou. A small boat carries the interest of Suzhou. Whether on the shore or on the boat, the two sides become each other's scenery.

Walking across the Pingjiang River in a hand-cranked boat, you can also hear the boatwoman or the boatman sing a boat song, which is a way for the boatman to express his pleasure.
