"Fu" is the name of ancient Chinese administrative divisions. It is a second-level administrative division in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and its status is equivalent to that of today's prefecture-level cities. Kaifeng Prefecture, Jiangning Prefecture , Suzhou Prefecture , Huizhou Prefecture ... Through ancient operas and novels, people are not unfamiliar with "官网". But in real life, ancient government buildings that have survived to this day are extremely rare. At present, there are only two ancient government offices in China, one is Nanyang Government Office in Henan, and the other is Jiangsu Huai'an Government Office.
This weekend, Huai'an Prefecture Department will celebrate its "650th birthday", and a series of commemorative activities will be launched one after another. The reporter walked into this group of buildings to find the unknown past events of Huai'an Prefecture.
lasted for 650 years, and preserved the pattern of the Ming and Qing government offices
The ancient city of Huai'an has a history of more than 2,200 years. Since the Sui Dynasty, it has been the capital of prefectures, counties, prefectures, roads and military personnel. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the political, cultural and economic center of northern Jiangsu. The Huai'an Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty was the nine counties and two prefectures, including Ganyu, Haizhou (now Lianyungang ), Pizhou, Shuyang , Suqian, Suining, Taoyuan (now Siyang ), Qinghe, Andong (now Lianshui), Yancheng , Shanyang (now Huai'an District ), and is the largest prefecture in Jiangsu. As the location of Huai'an Prefecture, Huai'an Prefecture Office also has a long history. According to reports, the Huai'an Prefecture Office was founded by the Huai'an Prefect Yao Bin in the third year of Hongwu (1370). During the long years after its completion, the Huai'an Prefecture Office suffered fires many times and underwent several remodeling and reconstruction. In the tenth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1860), the prefect Tao Jinye restored the office again, basically forming its current scale.
Huai'an Prefecture Department is located in the center of Huai'an Old Town, connecting with Huailou, Town, and the Governor's Office of the General Bureau of the Grain Transportation. "Size and majestic" is the first impression of many tourists who come here. "The construction scale of Huai'an Prefecture Office is much larger than that of other prefecture-level yamen. This is because Huai'an is a famous canal city, located in a water transportation area, and has been prosperous since ancient times. Huai'an Prefecture has been built more grandly and has more affairs to handle on weekdays." Zhou Xuejing, director of the scenic spot of Huai'an Prefecture Office, explained. Yimen, Jieshifang, Zhengtang, Liuke, Second Hall... In the Huai'an Prefecture Bureau building complex, the preserved ancient buildings and some rebuilt buildings are arranged in three ways: East, Middle and West. The front section of the Central Road of the Government Office is an office, the back section is the residence of the prefect and his family, the east road is the welcome and banquet place, and the west road is the military capture hall, which completely reproduces the layout of the Ming and Qing government offices of the Chinese Ming and Qing government offices.
The most valuable building in Huai'an Prefecture Office is one of the lobbys that were rebuilt in the tenth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty and cover an area of more than 500 square meters. This is also the largest existing government hall in my country. "This is where the Huaian Prefect welcomed the imperial edict, held a large celebration, and tried major cases." Under Zhou Xuejing's guidance, the reporter saw that there were many huge Ming Dynasty stone pillar foundations preserved on the ground. From this, it can be inferred that the lobby of Huaian Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty might be larger than the current one. A couplet in the lobby is impressive: "When you are angry, you can relax for a moment, wait for peace of mind, save endless troubles; when you are extremely difficult, you will think about the whole story, and when you are focused on your spirit, you will naturally have a trade-off." The couplet reminds the prefect sitting in the lobby to be calm when encountering things and think twice before acting. For ordinary people, this couplet is undoubtedly of reference.
After visiting Huaian Prefecture Bureau, the reporter found that there is a big difference between the real Prefecture Office and the Prefecture Office in film and television dramas, and there are too many details worth paying attention to. For example, the lobby is not the place to hear all cases. Some cases that are inconvenient to be disclosed are tried in the second hall, and major criminal cases must be "in-histed" at the Fajian Hall on the West Road; the official seal , which the prefect valued most, is a wooden niche hidden on the beam of the living room of the back house. In order to worry about the stolen official seal, a tablet of "Shouyin Daxian" must be set up... "The Huaian Prefecture Office has retained many details of the ancient government office, which has given visitors a deeper understanding of the political system of the Ming and Qing Dynasties." Zhou Xuejing said.
takes history as a mirror, and "memory of integrity" is retained here
In 2009, the Huai'an Prefecture Administration was named "Jiangsu Province Anti-corruption Culture Demonstration Point".Couplets, plaques and inscriptions can be seen everywhere in the office remind officials to be honest and honest, self-disciplined, care about the suffering of the people, and seek welfare for the people. In the lobby of the government office, such a couplet describes the dialectical relationship between "officials and the people": "Eat the food of the people and wear the clothes of the people, don't say that the people can be bullied, you are also the people; if you get an official, you will not be humiliated by losing an official, don't say that one official is useless, the place depends entirely on one official", and warns officials to care about the people and safeguard the interests of the people. The three big words "clear", "save" and "diligent" are written on the wall on the back of the lobby warm pavilion. They come from the famous saying in "The Three Kingdoms": "For officials and elders, they should be clean, they should be cautious, and diligent. If you practice these three things, why worry about not curing them?" It means that being an official must be honest, cautious and diligent. If you do these three things, you can manage a place well.
"From the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, Huai'an Prefecture had more than 200 prefects, and a considerable number of officials were fair and honest, and of course there were also corrupt officials." said Jin Zhigeng, an expert in literature and history in Huai'an. In order to use history as a mirror to warn future generations, the Huai'an Prefecture Administration used a large number of exhibitions and scenes to tell the story of integrity that happened here. In the exhibition hall of the "Official Department", the wax figure truly reproduces the story of two typical officials in the history of Huai'an Prefecture. A positive example occurred in the Ming Dynasty: During the Jiajing period, Fu Xizhi, the prefect of Huai'an, was honest and loved the people as much as his son. When he was promoted to the governor of the grain transport and left the government office, his subordinates counted his belongings and found that his belongings were only a piece of black cloth. Despite this, Fu Xizhi still distributed the black cloth to his subordinates. Everyone admired his character and drew his avatar on black cloth to worship it, and used it to educate his children. A negative example occurred in the Qing Dynasty: in the 13th year of Jiaqing, Huai'an suffered a major flood. Huai'an magistrate Wang Gu and Shanyang County magistrate Wang Shenhan embezzled disaster relief funds and killed the imperial envoy Li Yuchang , creating the false image of hanging himself. Li Yuchang's family sued the lawsuit to Emperor Jiaqing, and the truth was finally revealed, and the two corrupt officials were rectified on the spot. In front of these two sets of wax statues, many viewers stopped and pondered, "If you do evil things, you will die. Being honest and honest will surely be remembered forever." Mr. Sun, a tourist from Nanjing, told this about his viewing.
immersive experience, the historical rhyme is integrated into the current life
How to activate cultural heritage and demonstrate the historical value of ancient cultural relics is a tireless exploration topic for the integration and development of culture and tourism. Entering the Huai'an Prefecture Office today, "Miss Prefect takes you to visit", going to the hall to handle cases and receive imperial edicts, and experiencing ancient "fire protection" and other tourism projects in the "Water Dragon Bureau". On the basis of protecting cultural heritage, through interaction, tourists from all over the world can get an immersive experience, understand the shape and characteristics of the Ming and Qing government buildings, and experience the traditional etiquette and culture contained in the ancient government offices.
Huai'an Prefecture Administration's "Three Literature Sections" official departments, household departments and ritual departments are arranged on the east side of the lobby. The "household departments" in it are responsible for managing civil affairs, finance, taxation and other matters. Not only does it display a rich file, picture album and ancient coins, it also "reappears" an ancient coin minting workshop, attracting a large number of tourists.
earth stove, tin foil, crucible, fire tongs, teapot, tea bowl... The realistic scene shows a lively smelting picture, making people immersed in the sky. A Shandong tourist silently recited Li Bai's "Autumn Pu Song" on the spot: "The fire shines on the heaven and earth, the red stars shine in purple smoke, the bright moonlit night, the song moves the cold river." History lovers are full of interest in the detailed guide. "In the 32nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, according to the Ministry of Revenue, the coin minting center was changed to 'Huai'. At that time, the coin minting centers were all named provincial names, but only the Qingjiang Tongyuan Bureau of Huai'an Prefecture was named 'Qingjiang' or 'Huai'." After listening to the explanation, Nanjing tourist Zhang Xiaojun walked forward and weighed the bucket, big lifting scale and ancient balance beside him, and praised: "This is unique in the modern history of China's bronze Yuan, which shows the importance of Huai'an's economic status at that time." Through the courtyard, the ancient fire department "Water Dragon Bureau" located in the Military Capture Hall is a must-visit "check-in place" for many tourists. Walking into the gate, a ladder on the left is about the height of a small building with a water truck on the top and full of water. The children who came to play happily acted as the "water-pressing yamen runner". They worked together in pairs and worked hard to immediately spray water columns from the mouth of the water dragon.
Let the historical rhyme be integrated into the current life, and the ancient Huai'an Prefecture Department is rejuvenating new vitality. Liu Zhensheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Huaian District Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda, said that as a famous historical and cultural city, Huaian will implement the "Huai'an Government Office +" strategy in depth: "First, adhere to the combination with strict protection, scientifically consolidate the historical heritage of the government office, and strengthen the foundation for the utilization and development of historical value; Second, adhere to the combination with industrial revitalization, use Huaian Government Office as a carrier to develop tourism products, and at the same time integrate with the ancient city's cultural tourism resources to open up more tourism routes and promote the integrated development of culture and tourism; Third, adhere to the combination with reality education, and guide students, civil servants, lawyers and other groups to carry out real-life basic education around the various cultures derived from Huaian Government Office, such as imperial examination culture, official moral culture, government culture, administrative management history and culture, to guide students, civil servants, lawyers and other groups to carry out real-life basic education and establish a foundation for clean government education; Fourth, adhere to the combination with media publicity and expand the communication power and influence of Huaian Government Office."
reporter also learned that starting this Saturday, to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the founding of Huai'an Prefecture Department, Huai'an District of Huai'an City will hold a series of activities to allow more people to appreciate the unique charm of this government building complex.
