Some people say that the prosperity of Haizhu District originated from Nanhua West Street, because this street was once a residential gathering place for wealthy businessmen from the 13th and 13th industries. The Pan\’s building complex that is well preserved today is that A testimony to a glorious history. Located at No. 231 Nanhua Middle Road, across the river from Shamian, it was the residence of the Pan family, the richest man in the Thirteenth Industry at that time, and it was also the masterpiece of this architectural complex. p>

The first \”foreign-style building\” in Haizhu District

According to the cultural relics of Haizhu District Cheng Xiaoli, a staff member of the museum management center, said that the main building of the compound is 12 meters wide, 12 meters deep and 10 meters high. The base of the main building was treated as a semi-basement. It can be used for storage and is also moisture-proof. The mahogany door of the main building is inlaid with colored glass and has particularly exquisite patterns. When the reporter visited the site, he observed that the entrance on the first floor was a hall, with mahogany doors on both sides leading to the halls on both sides, symmetrical on the left and right, and wooden shutter doors on each side leading to the front porch. The wooden red shutter door is about two or three meters high. There is a corridor behind the hall, with stairs on the left leading to the second floor, and stairs on the right leading to the basement.

There is still a hall behind the main building, with symmetrical rooms on both sides, and wooden doors open to the hall. Every living room in the house is against the wallThe windows all open outward for lighting, with window lintels, window sills and window grilles. The hall is entirely paved with teak floors and decorated with wooden wall skirts. All indoor components are still structurally intact despite being nearly a hundred years old, especially the wooden floor, which is the most exquisite and shiny. According to Professor Tang Guohua, director of the Lingnan Architectural Research Institute of Guangzhou University and an architectural expert, “These wooden floors are all imported teak, which was a very high-grade wood at the time and is relatively well protected now.”

The upper and lower halls of the main building have \”luxury\” chandeliers from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Professor Tang Guohua said that these may be relics from that time. Under the dim light, the entire building floor feels a sense of history.

It is understood that Pan\’s Courtyard was the first to absorb Western architectural art and adopt Western architectural technology and The European-style western-style building built with building materials is a typical example of outstanding modern architecture. It was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Guangzhou in December 2008. Pan Ganger, a descendant of the Pan family and a retired professor at South China University of Technology, revealed that this yellow villa is generally called a \”foreign-style building\” among the Pan family. The \”Western-style Building\” was built between 1908 and 1909 and was the first \”Western-style Building\” in Haizhu District.

In Tang Guohua\’s view, Pan\’s Courtyard can even be \”comparable to Shamian\”. He believes that \”the historical value of Pan\’s Courtyard needs to be further explored. However, the artistic value is very high, no less than the cultural relics buildings in Shamian, and the scientific value is also very high. This building should be restored as soon as possible and declared as a cultural relics protection site in Guangdong Province.\” Units are possible ”

Style.

Pan Peiru was a manager at the Guangdong Electric Lighting Company. The Guangdong Electric Lighting Company is also known as Wuxianmen Power Plant by Guangzhou people. Its former site is located on the opposite bank of Pan\’s Courtyard, now Yanjiang West Road. In order to facilitate work, Pan Peiru found a place near Haizhuang Park on the bank of the Pearl River opposite the Yue Yuan Electric Lighting Company and built this \’foreign-style building\’ (Pan\’s Courtyard). ”

——Pan Ganger, a descendant of the Pan family and retired professor of Huagong University of Technology

Fortieth year of Qianlong\’s reign In one year (1776), Pan Zhencheng, a merchant from the Thirteenth Industry, purchased about 20 hectares of land in present-day South China West, built a house and built an ancestral hall. Pan Zhencheng, who was born in Panyu, Guangdong, never forgot that his ancestors were from Longxi Township, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, so he named the area where the building complex is located \”Longxi Township\”.

\”Many people can\’t tell the difference between Pan\’s courtyard and Pan\’s family temple\”

The Pan family has thrived here for generations. The current Pan family building complex on Nanhua West Street includes Pan’s residence, ancestral hall and attached gardens, rivers, bridges, etc. built from the early Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. Streets and alleys, etc., the more famous ones are Pan Family Temple and Pan Family Ancestral Hall. \”If you are not careful, many citizens will easily confuse the Pan family temple with Lingnan architectural style and the Pan family courtyard with Western style.\” Professor Pan Ganger explained the difference between the two to reporters.

\”Judging from the architectural form and structure of Pan\’s courtyard, it was built at the same time as Guangzhou\’s Shamian architecture. It belongs to a colonial architectural style containing Western neoclassicism, which is also translated as veranda style architecture. Style.\” Tang Guohua, an expert on Lingnan architecture, told reporters that the materials used in Pan\’s courtyard are masonry, wood and steel, as well as the colored mosaic glass used in Western Catholic churches and the ironwork art of the New Movement period, and granite is used for the tops of the steps and verandah railings. stone.

In addition, “It is very different from Lingnan ancient buildings and Pan’s Family Temple. This is reflected in the fact that it is a strong Western classical architecture, while Pan’s Family Temple is a traditional Lingnan native Qing Dynasty building. Although they both use each other\’s architectural elements in some places, for example, the roof tiles of Pan\’s courtyard adopt the Lingnan Guangfu style, while the hall of Pan\’s family temple adopts Western-style ceilings. \”Tang Guohua pointed out the differences between the two buildings. The place of fusion.

The following narrative is taken from Baidu Encyclopedia:

The eighth generation of the Pan family He is still living in Guangzhou – 69-year-old Pan Ganger. He is a graduate of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at South China University of Technology.retired professor.

Today\’s Pan\’s garden has become a \”dancing pavilion and singing stage, and the wind and rain are always blowing away the wind.\” Only place names such as Longxi Shouyou, Longxi Eryou, and Pan Family Ancestral Road seem to remind you of the glory and prosperity of a thirteen-line family 300 years ago.

According toNanhuaxi StreetThe relevant person in charge introduced that at present, the west side of Panjia Garden (the original kitchen, housing, ancestor hall, flower bureau, Four Young Women Hall, etc. Part) of about 800 square meters, built in the 1950s and 1970s by Haizhu District Education Bureau was requisitioned from Pan Zhuyuan, a descendant of the Pan family, and then demolished. It has been used as a teaching building by No. 33 Middle School in the city until now.

The 637-square-meter portion of the courtyard, including the first gate, second gate, balcony, patio, Qingyun Lane, the middle seat of the ancestral hall, and the subsequent patio, was zoned in 1956. The building was requisitioned by the Housing Authority and rented to four factories including letter casting, mold, hardware, and printing. Among them, the Haizhu District Mold Factory added a second and third floor to the middle block of the ancestral hall and the patio behind the ancestral hall in 1980, causing the layout of the place to be destroyed. After repeated appeals from relevant district and street departments, the above four factories were all moved out last year and are currently temporarily managed by Yongxing Property Company.

In addition, another 700-square-meter house in the compound has been sold to outsiders. The original building layout has been partially destroyed, the exterior walls are severely weathered, and the roof is leaking. It is understood that the Pan Family Ancestral Hall, which echoes the Pan Family Courtyard, is located in Fu\’an Community, Nanhua West Street. It originally covered an area of ​​nearly 5,000 square meters and was more than 70 meters long. It was destroyed during the destruction of the \”Four Olds\” and the \”Cultural Revolution\”. A pair of stone lions have been moved to the entrance of Haizhuang Temple. The reporter asked the neighbors living nearby, and many elderly people said that the courtyard had not been taken care of for a long time and was in a dilapidated state, while many young people had no idea about the once glorious history here.

Opposite the entrance of the University for the Elderly is the north gate of Haizhuang Park.

Go west on the road to Haitong Park and you will find a children\’s photography center

Tongfu Road has renovated the old buildings on the roadside in the past few years.

I found an alley on the side of the road called Tongfuxin Street, so I turned in. There are also many ancient buildings

There are ancient buildings on both sides, with traditional dragon gates

Some are not well maintained and are a bit worn out.

No. 14 is still the dormitory of the 11th District Police Station of the Republic of China. The following text is quoted from a report in 2013:

The building of the Republic of China was originally the police dormitory of the 11th District Police Station built in the ninth year of the Republic of China. The door is opened on Tongfuxin Street. There is a marble plaque with the words \”The ninth year of the Republic of China\”. In the year of Jian Tong Yimei Sheng Shu\”. The dormitory is surrounded by a patio, the stair handrails are exquisite, and the stained glass windows on the building are quite special. Now I am afraid that few people know that there is a three-story Republic of China police dormitory just across the wall from Haizhuang Park.

Yesterday, the reporter came to Tongfu Street and after many twists and turns found this Republic of China police dormitory, which is separated from Haizhuang Park by a wall. None of the neighbors knew the origin of this building. From the outside, the building at No. 14, Tongfuxin Street, could hardly be seen to have the style of the Republic of China. The writing on the stone plaque was blurred, and the reporter struggled to vaguely see the word \”Tongyi\”. Two characters, inside the door and window of the building There are some clothes hanging to dry on the side and dark corridors, and the corridors and doors are covered with various small advertisements. It doesn’t feel like it is protected by cultural relics at all. Even the residents who live next door to the dormitory say they don’t know that this is a police officer from the Republic of China period. dormitory. Ms. Li, a neighbor who was born and raised on Tongfu Street and is now a dormitory for employees of a company, said, \”In the early years, I thought this building was very special. It was a Republic of China building and the colored stained glass was particularly beautiful. But later, after the walls were painted and renovated, On the contrary, you can’t tell it’s a Republic of China building at all.\”. She introduced that the police dormitories back then had been reduced to employee dormitories of a certain company.

Because the architectural style of the Republic of China can no longer be seen from the appearance, and there are no signs of cultural relics beside the gate, more and more neighbors around are not aware of this. It’s from the Republic of China period Police dormitory. In addition, this building has become an employee dormitory of a company, so more and more people can\’t feel the difference from the surrounding residential buildings. Haizhu said that the building was neglected as a municipal cultural relic, so why can\’t it be enjoyed. Is it protected as a cultural relic?

Yesterday, the reporter called the Haizhu District Culture, Radio and Television Bureau. The relevant person in charge said that after inquiries, the Republic of China building at No. 14 Tongfuxin Street is indeed a cultural relic protection unit in Guangzhou. , Haizhu District has control over the construction of this building Construction projects within the zone are managed, and no one is allowed to damage the cultural relics. Projects within the building also need to apply for approval. However, the use of municipal cultural relics is managed by the Guangzhou Municipal Culture, Radio and Television New Bureau. (Original title: How many cultural relics in Guangzhou still need people to take care of them)

Now that the building\’s facade has been renovated, the door and exterior walls have not been touched.

The tiles on the ground prove that it is really an older building.

The interior is a bit worn out without much work.

There is a cat guarding the door. I am afraid that the cat will attack my puppy.

Looking from inside the building, there are still glazed pillars on the exterior wall.

There are also many old houses next to the police dormitory.

The traditional gantry doors and screens, as well as the style of wooden windows and grilles, all prove that it is an old building.

There are also some green plants planted at the door, which looks lively.

The balcony on the second floor of No. 1 Tongfuxin Street also has glazed pillars.

This ancient picture The architectural momentum is quite impressive.

Next door to No. 3 Fujuli is Haizhuang Kindergarten

No. 3 has been decorated with a historical building plaque, and the interior is being renovated.

Kindergarten is a modern building.

There are also many old buildings in Fuchang Xiyi Lane next to it.

The doors of these two buildings are a bit shabby.

Go straight along the alley and you will come to Baogang Avenue, opposite R&F\’s Golden Jubilee Garden.

Returning to Fujuli Looked at the old buildings around.

After passing a public security office, we arrived at Zhiling Lane next to the outer wall of Haizhuang Temple

This No. 2 Zhiling Lane is also a historical building with a plaque.

The temple of Haichuang Temple is still very majestic after renovation. This time, dogs are not allowed to enter.

After passing Haizhuang Temple, walk west along Tongfu Road. On both sides of the road is the famous Nanwu Middle School in Guangzhou.

Going further ahead is the Children’s Palace of Haizhu District. My daughter has studied violin in the Children’s Palace for several years and is still playing the violin now. orchestra.

There is an alley in the middle of the Children\’s Palace, called Wu Family Ancestral Hall, which divides the Children\’s Palace into two parts: the east and the west. This was the residence of the Wu family, the richest man in the Thirteenth Generation.

Walking along the alley, from the side door of the Children\’s Palace, there is an old banyan tree next to the auditorium of the Children\’s Palace. /p>

Behind the Children\’s Palace is the No. 1 Primary School of Tongfu Middle Road, Haizhu District, Guangzhou.

Go north and you will arrive at the Lanting Royal Garden property.

Walk along Hairong Street outside the building

Go north and you will arrive at Longxi Eryue

Go up these steps to Nanhua West Road

Across the road is the Junhua Tianhui building where I started today.

I saw the kindergarten I just passed by again.

After visiting this area, I basically visited all the buildings from north to south of Long Daowei. Some historical buildings are in disrepair and should be renovated and protected as soon as possible.
