A compound of meeting and separation clutch, a history of changing a building process map, a rise and fall of the history of Shanxi, Shanxi ? Qiao Jia Da Yuan
Shanxi, referred to Jin, the area was named after the west of the Taihang Mountains, is located on the Loess Plateau. Some say: "OK so how thick loess Lu Liang, Shanxi and cultural origins of a number of profound."
Filed Shanxi, can not leave its deep cultural roots, especially the development of flourishing and decline of Shanxi in China's history, has numerous marks. These traces remain in China's financial history, but also to stay in the houses where wealthy Jinzhong area. Today, I would like to say Qixian Qiao Jia Da Yuan in Shanxi to explore to the development track.
Shanxi merchants rich, neither was due to favorable natural conditions, nor is it due to the hereditary ancestral legacy, they are all after a hard step by step toward a successful venture. QIAO Jia is a typical starting from the completion of primitive accumulation Zou Xikou big businessmen created a financier from farmers to traders and then to a strange history. The surviving houses, buildings bearing the suffering people experienced and hope. They experienced several hundred years of rain, about people's yesterday, tells us the history of today's hard to break away from the story.
In the early years of the Qing Emperor Qianlong Zou Xikou team, among them, one from Qixian QIAO Jia-warburg of young farmers - Qiaogui hair, it was he who created the original Qiao Jia Da Yuan Foundation.
Qiao Gui-fat tofu from the mill and the small shopkeepers began to gradually accumulate capital, 10 years later with a fellow villager surnamed Qin own company in Baotou, start with the operators of small grocery trade. Chiao, Qin two together, painstaking efforts, finally Qianlong two decades, which in 1755 set up her own middle name "Guang Sheng Gong," mainly engaged in rice and salt, "6 Chan-line" business. As a feudal society, businessmen, nothing more than fame and fortune after the homecoming, or build the houses Fengfengguangguang more important. Qiao's Grand Courtyard is its huge assets in the external appearance.
Architecture is the physical culture is the artifacts, institutions and culture, embodied the concept of three-bearing material, but also relying on the physical and cultural methods, therefore, these buildings have long-term expression of the language can not encompass the cultural connotations. Over time, these buildings survived more precious.
It is QIAO Jia sincere way of doing business to make a meteoric rise in business wide Sheng Gong, soared. The occasion of the Qing Emperor Qianlong is widely Shenggongcengyin do "to buy trees," the speculative trade in endangered closed, Credit goes to old customers and industry support, proposed quasi-three-year delay the return of foreign debt, three years later, Kwong Sheng Gong is not only to pay off debt, bigger make a fortune. Group of the celebrations of the East that this is the starting point of revival Foundation, then the restructuring of number, by Sheng Gong Fu Guang-Sheng Gong changed.
Then re-Sheng Gong is located in Baotou city, the market becomes more prosperous, but has not yet formed a certain scale of the town, neither government officials nor management of guilds Chamber of Commerce organizations, business to operate freely, and prices Gaotai low pressure, which for the creation of complex Sheng Gong favorable conditions for buying and selling become better developed, more and more abundant financial resources, years of effort to re-Sheng Gong has become the number one header on the market big business.
With business booming, spawned a thriving, QIAO Jia-chih-year period beginning in the expansion of houses. Next to the old Northwest Hospital Center is a courtyard built QIAO Jia-peak periods. Its owner is the grandson of Joe Qiao Gui-fat-induced Yong.
In the hands of Joe-induced Yong, QIAO Jia-career by leaps and bounds. Tao-kuang, Xianfeng years, expanding operations, an additional number, referred to as "complex font." As the well-organized, rigorous regulation number, capital rich, complex font will soon rule the roost in the header, thus a monopoly, manipulation of the market, has laid a full commercial basis, a Baotou City, and even the emergence of a widespread Minyan "prior re-Sheng Gong , after Baotou City. "
From the beginning of the Qing dynasty to the Republic, is QIAO Jia's heyday. Namely, the "complex" series rule the roost in Baotou in Inner Mongolia, there have been major DeHeng, Dade pass the two big ticket number is active in various land and sea terminals, commercial finance two-pronged approach, while simultaneously, complement each other. At that time QIAO Jia has more than 200 commercial font size, liquidity and there are 7 million -1000 10000 2 silver, together with parts of real estate, QIAO Jia's assets equal to the current eight, 90 million, while QIAO Jia-only one of the Shanxi merchants in a Shanxi, once known as the sea off the most.
A Wonderful Life, the QIAO Jia will naturally scale development projects, the group Kadoba. Jo Yong-induced masters, it was also expanded the southern two pairs of cross-quadrangle courtyard, and the northern two three-floor hospital Feedthrough together constitute the basic pattern of the existing Qiao Jia Da Yuan, constitute a written on the land of the big double happiness character. If this is the time of the owner in the construction of a wish hope and pray that it is compact on the building structure and internal indivisibility is also really amazing. Both are self-conscious pursuit of, or a mere coincidence, no one knows, but has left people with the impression that real Founder and stability, as QIAO Jia-business heyday.
Qiao Jia Da Yuan very much in line with the construction of the pattern of feudal society, "young and old order, of hierarchy are different," the idea, the whole building is sitting West, east, a long 80 meters wide and 7 meters north-south corridor will be divided into two buildings, the ancient pay attention to the north of the statue, when the north are QIAO Jia-living ancestors who significantly higher than south of the tall houses more style.
The third is the southern courtyard Qiao Jia Da Yuan during the third expansion of repair, and a time when 1921. At this point, Qiao Jia Da Yuan finally completed construction of three points, and valuable, although the middle of space and time span of nearly two centuries, but its style has remained about 200 years and 200 years ago, after the style of uniform, so that the whole building seamless.
QIAO Jia-business booming to this time has gone through seven generations, 200 years of history, can not be said to create a miracle, but in the end due to the emergence of bank officials and businessmen to combat the ticket numbers business, large DeHeng, Dade Messenger exchange businesses to bank officials and businessmen have been taken away, finally had reorganized into the banking house. Will again year after year after the war, ticket number from the business brought to its knees.
"Fu" series is also the case in October 1937, Baotou of Japanese occupation, economic recession, QIAO Jia had intended to study in the Northwest Division to build a hospital buildings, the completion of the construction of the sixth compound, but the gun Marco Polo Bridge sound broke the dream of the big feudal family. In 1938, the Japanese, unable to harassment, QIAO Jia-the family, more than 60 people have left, never ever to not come back.
QIAO Jia's main people gone, leaving this one houses for posterity. Strangely enough, a few hundred years later, Qiao Jia Da Yuan style remains, and no traces of years of vicissitudes in dire straits, there is no houses, like other years, as well to pass to us a sense of all the Masquerade, corrupt or secretive sense of feeling, on the contrary, always displaying a kinds of generous giants stride style, which calmly reflected in the compound of the profound meaning of the carvings in each group; such generosity is reflected in the compound of the cornice, on each Qiyuxuanang.
Differences in environment, human geography, to a certain extent and impact of the dominant architectural form. Qiao Jia Da Yuan Street, facing the three are high-walled building, the minimum Department also has more than 10 meters, there is only one door can be hospital-wide access, doors and windows are open to the courtyard, external try not to open the window, reflects the rigorous ethical law-abiding. This may be a symbol of wealth, business convergence, but also a big rich house the necessary means of protection.
Some say yes, "Raise the Red Lantern lit up Qiao Jia Da Yuan" In fact, QIAO Jia-owner does not live in the real movie, the kind of closed repressed life, they live high in the deep-house yard, but always follow their thoughts changes in every step of the era. Miles convergence into a gallop messuages, houses numerous cornices also point to the immense sky.
Today's visitors, with varying aims to Qiao Jia Da Yuan. Everyone's heart would be surprised QIAO Jia-how from generation to generation for hundreds of years is not bad, and after such a business would doubt QIAO Jia-tactics, no notice of well and why the silence after the busy cleared out? It should be said that different people in different times, for Qiao's Grand Courtyard has a different awareness and understanding, but it sure is, Joe Grand Courtyard of the construction of the visual impact of each person, and this implies a very strong vitality of the residential architectural culture in people's hearts will leave an unforgettable memory.
Conclusion:
Qiao Jia Da Yuan Republic of China from the Qing Dynasty to the rise of more than 200 years, they are not relying on the superior natural conditions, on the contrary, they are the from the Zou Xikou start again in a natural environment and beyond the birth of a lineage beyond the struggle to create the life of a vibrant space, today I'm afraid it has come to Qiao Jia Da Yuan for reference and inspiration.
