A person named in Zhengzhou, Henan ProvinceRen JinlingThe old man, in the face of the high demolition money given by the demolition company, was unmoved, and the demolition company visited Ren Jinling many times with expensive gifts, but Ren Jinling never let goHe said that no matter how much money he had, he would never give up his ancestral home!
The villagers all said that Ren Jinling was scheming to raise the price of the house, but is this really the case?
Next, let me tell you the story of the demolition of the old man Ren Jinling.
With the development of urbanization in China, it is not uncommon to overturn old buildings and build new buildings in big cities, and Zhengzhou is no exception.
There are many people who take house demolition as a way to make a fortune, dreaming that they can catch up with the trend of demolition and become the second generation of demolition overnight. But this kind of good thing fell on the old man Ren Jinling, and it became a ** annoyance, as soon as he saw the staff of the real estate development company who came to negotiate, he had a headache, and hurriedly held a stick to drive people away.
Ren Jinling's family lives in Dongshima Village, Zhengzhou, where most of the people are not wealthy, and they are happy to hear that the houses in the village are part of Zhengzhou's urbanization.
For Ren Jinling's unusual performance, the people in the village have different opinions, most people think that he is just to raise the house **, so as to make a lot of money, many people say that he is scheming,But Ren Jinling has always stuck to himself and ignored these rumors.
In fact, Ren Jinling did not want to get more money, but because Ren Jinling's house had an extraordinary meaning to him.
Ren Jinling's old house is not an ordinary dilapidated old house, but an ancient house built by Ren Jinling's ancestors brick by brick, not like other small village houses in East Shima Village, Ren Jinling's house has a total of seven courtyards of moderate size, which were built by the ancestors of Ren Jinling after 60 years of hard work.
The Ren family compound was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the ancestor of the Ren family at that time was named Ren Junxuan, serving the imperial court, and the location of the Qing court was the second grade. The villagers have always called the Renjia compound "the gate building", because the Renjia gate is high and broad, covering an area of more than 30 acres, and it is a unique building in the East Shimajia Village.
No matter how well they develop outside the home, the Chinese still have the idea of "returning to their roots" in their bones, and Ren Junxuan still chose to return to his hometown in his old ageIn today's East Shimajia Village, the Ren family compound has begun to take shape under Ren Junxuan's hands.
The Ren family has produced talented sons from generation to generation, and the descendants of Ren Junxuan have more than one generation after another, and the Ren family compound has undergone four generations of expensive expansion, which finally formed the magnificent landscape of the Ren family's main courtyard surrounded by seven courtyards today.
Although today's Ren family has long been much worse than before in the change of history, Ren Jinling's literati style has not diminished in the slightest, and he has always adhered to his ancestral home and will not allow others to destroy it in the slightest.
At Ren Jinling's insistence, the real estate company finally raised the demolition ** to 8 million**, you must know that this incident happened in 2007, 8 million was not a small amount in that era, but Ren Jinling did not "accept it when he saw it".
As we all know, the war is extremely destructive to ancient buildings, and the Ren family compound can be preserved so intact in the flames of war, which is inseparable from the efforts of each generation of the Ren family.
Ren Jinling still remembers the experience of his grandfather taking him to climb the eaves to repair tiles in the cold winterEvery grass, tree, flower and tree in this house was planted by his own familyIt is not a cold, emotionless copper wall, but has become an invisible relative who has integrated into the countless efforts of the Ren family.
In order to better protect the whole picture of the Ren family's old house, Ren Jinling will patiently cover the carved windows at home with hard plastic paper every night before going to bed, on the one hand, it can prevent the carved ashes, on the other hand, it is also to prevent the cold wind at night from blowing the carved railing, Ren Jinling can be said to have exhausted his efforts in the protection of the house.
Seeing that Ren Jinling was soft and hard, the developers were a little annoyed and angry, and directly skipped Ren Jinling's family to start construction. Ren Jinling endured the smoke and loud noise of the demolition project and continued to live in the Ren family compound.
Due to the need for demolition, the developers cut off the electricity and water in the entire Dongshimajia village. Even if life is inconvenient, Ren Jinling will still stick to his own house, no electricity to light candles, and no water to dig his own well.
You must know that Ren Jinling was nearly sixty years old at the time, and seeing him stubbornly living in the old mansion, Ren Jinling's children were also very worried.
But no matter how Ren Jinling's sons and daughters persuaded him, Ren Jinling was unmoved。The children who wanted to persuade their father to leave, when they saw their father's persistent eyes, their hearts were moved, this house was the hard work of the ancestors of the Ren family anyway, and they built the Ren family compound so magnificently, not to make it a pile of dirt!
So the Ren family thought of asking for help from the state, and Ren Jinling, accompanied by his children, went to the cultural relics appraisal center and cultural relics protection unit in Zhengzhou City, hoping to identify and protect his house.
However, when the experts of the Zhengzhou Cultural Relics Appraisal Center arrived at the door, they were stunned by the plaque hanging on the door of the house by the Ren family, which read"Auxiliary wing national politics".Four big characters, gold characters on a black background, are not majestic and elegant, and they are not extraordinary at first glance.
According to Ren Jinling, this plaque was given to the Ren family by the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and there are words such as "Ten Thousand Years of the Son of Heaven" and "Fulu Yongchong" on the side of the beam of the house"If such a highly collectible plaque can be incorporated into the museum, it would be great," the appraisal expert said regretfully in a conversation with Ren Jinling.
The inscription on the plaque at the entrance is just the beginning, and the further back you go, the more the experts are amazed. There are really a lot of treasures in the Ren family's compound, the exquisite stone carved lion in the yard, and the exquisite rosewood carved cabinet in the houseThere are also precious antique vases for viewing.
After seeing the antique vase in Ren Jinling's house, the expert felt that it was quite rare in the history of Chinese porcelain regardless of color or pattern, and couldn't help but ask about the origin.
Ren Jinling, on the other hand, said with a normal face that there were not many vases like this in his own home, and there were many similar vases that were buried in the soil by the ancestors during the war years. When the expert heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said:"Old Ren, you're right, it's a pity that a house like this is demolished. ”
Ren Jinling smiled innocently, and then took out a box from the back room, "Please take a look at this." With that, Ren Jinling took out the robe in the box in front of the expert.
Experts can't help but be amazed, it is actually a python robe from the Qing Dynasty!
Rewarding python robes to loyal officials of the imperial court has always been a tradition of feudal dynasties, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. What the experts did not expect was that there were such cultural relics of great historical research value hidden in such a small village!
With the intervention of the Zhengzhou Cultural Relics Appraisal Center, the developer had to terminate the plan to rebuild the Ren family compound after demolition. According to the statistics of cultural relics unearthed from the courtyard of the Ren family in the later period, the number of precious cultural relics in the collection of the Ren family has been as high as hundreds.
The expert gently picked up an object with gloves and looked at it carefully, it was a turquoise pen holder, which seemed to be ordinary, but the lotus pattern on the pen holder was reversed, this is a water lily that blooms vertically in the opposite direction.
In ancient times, such a lotus flower represented the proud character of the literati, and the coldness of not being in the same stream as everyone else. At the same time, the half-blooming buds also imply the philosophy of doing things in a low-key manner and treating people with an open mind.
After half a year, in 2009, the appraisal turmoil of Ren's compound finally came to an end, and Ren Jinling's house has a very high value for historical researchRenjia Compound has been listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit by the Cultural Relics Bureau.
Ren Jinling also knew that there were a lot of old objects in his ancestral house at first, but what he didn't expect was that these inconspicuous old objects had such high research value.
In order to repay the Motherland,Ren Jinling put forward the idea of building the old house into a museumThis idea was praised by experts, and his application was soon accepted by the state. Ren's family also expressed support for this idea, and the roof of Ren's compound has been leaking.
The whole family was troubled by this, and painstakingly repaired it, for which a lot of money was spent but it was still not repaired, if the ancestral house could be handed over to the state, the state would naturally send the best craftsmen to repair it, and other people who were interested in the ancient house could also see the style of the Ren family compound.
In 2017, after the approval of multiple national procedures and years of construction, Renjia Compound was officially built into a museum, named "Zhengzhou Tianxiang Museum", with Ren Jinling as the director.
The reason why it is named "Tianxiang" is because Ren Jinling's hometown of Dongshi Majia Village was called "Tianxiang Village" in ancient times, in order to let his ancestors remember his homeland and better inherit the history and culture, Ren Jinling insisted on using the ancient name.
In fact, the pace of urbanization does not necessarily have to erase the imprint of history, and the preservation of some ancient houses of different shapes in the journey of urban development is also a witness to the vigorous development of the city.
