In 2007, something shocking happened in Henan. Dongshima Village needs to be demolished and renovated due to the need for construction in the city. This is a great thing for local villagers, that is, they can live in a new house and also have compensation for demolition payment.
But there is an old man named Ren Jinling in the village who is frowning. For the "nail household", it is nothing more than insufficient money. But when the developer added a sky-high price of 100 million to Mr. Ren, Ren Jinling said toughly, "Give me 10 billion, I don't agree to demolish it."
Hello everyone I am a mysterious
What kind of house does Ren Jinling live in? What is the hidden secret that will make an old man over 50 years old so stubborn?
At that time, when Dongshima Village ushered in the good news of demolition, the villagers in the village were excitedly discussing that they were about to turn over and sing, they could live in a new house, and they could get a huge amount of demolition payment to live a better life than they are now. But Mr. Ren, who occupied the largest area in his home, sat at home and was worried. Suddenly, the staff knocked on the heavy door of the Ren family. Mr. Ren seemed to realize something, and slowly opened the door, he refused the staff's visit.
At first, the developer thought that Mr. Ren was just dissatisfied with the demolition payment, so he visited Mr. Ren several times, and each time he raised compensation for Mr. Ren.
The first time is 30 million, the second time is 80 million, and the third time is directly given a sky-high price of 100 million, carrying a few large black boxes, heading straight to Mr. Ren’s old house.
Ke Ren was indifferent to the huge compensation, and even shouted excitedly, "My house cannot be demolished. No matter how much you give me, I will not agree even if it is 10 billion." Then he picked up the broom in the yard and drove away the people sent by the developer back and forth.
After hearing this, neighbors around him rushed to persuade him, "Mr. Ren, you are old, why can't you do with 100 million yuan? Why should you guard this dilapidated house?"
Ren Jinling was immediately angry, "What do you know? This is the Ren Family Courtyard , which has been guarded by ancestors for generations. It cannot be ruined by me. What is a hundred million, the old house is priceless."
What is the origin of the "Ren Family Courtyard" mentioned by Ren Jinling, and why did it become something that Mr. Ren has to protect for the rest of his life?
Ren Jinling's behavior of not demolishing the house soon spread around. Some people said that he was an old stubborn man, while others even joked that he wanted to become a "nail household". Faced with the rumored village, Ren Jinling firmly rejected the staff. Seeing that the developer had no hope, he bypassed Mr. Ren's house and started construction. Soon the surrounding bungalows were demolished. Ren Jinling's house had neither water nor electricity, and had to illuminate it with candles at night. Every day, he was clamored by the construction site's big trucks and roaring sounds so that he couldn't sleep.
Some workers even took advantage of Ren Jinling's inattention to move the rubble of the old house. When Mr. Ren found out, he made a big fuss with the developer, and then went to the police station to call the police. He was worried about the old house. He was tired every day, and his old speed was visible to the naked eye, but no matter how hard or tired Ren Jinling was, he had to guard the old house.
Even the children of Ren Jinling couldn't stand it anymore, and they ran back to persuade their father, hoping that he could enjoy his life well in his later years, instead of suffering here every day. After hearing this, the old man reluctantly said, "Child, when your grandfather was leaving, he held my hand and said, no matter what happened, he must guard the Ren family compound."
The children gave up after hearing this and decided to support their father's decision, obey the arrangements of their ancestors, and work with Ren Jinling to protect the safety of the old house. But the developer refused to let go of Mr. Ren every day.
Finally Ren Jinling was disgusted and told the developer, "This house is not only the inheritance of the Ren family, but also a part of the national culture. If you still refuse to give up and want to demolish it, please find an expert to identify it."
The developer was speechless after hearing this. Mr. Ren was probably confused. Such a dilapidated house is not worth much money at all. How could it be the inheritance of material culture? In order to successfully demolish, the developer invited an expert on ancient cultural relics to make Mr. Ren completely compromise.
The secret of the Ren Family Courtyard surfaced
After experts such as Ren Jinling came, they politely invited them into the house and began to introduce their own story. The Ren Family Courtyard is located in the center of the entire village. It was a very grand courtyard in the past. It was just disrepaired in the later period. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, war swept across the country. In order to preserve the exquisite objects left by their ancestors, they could only hide them, which made the old house look a little dilapidated now. However, the Ren Family Courtyard was built in during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It took a full thirty years to build, and it has a history of a hundred years.
At the beginning, Ren Junxuan, a second-rank official from the Qing Dynasty. Whether it was its reputation or prestige, it was shocking at that time. The eaves were also engraved with words such as "The emperor's grace is vast, the emperor's life is ten thousand years old". Experts could see at a glance that it was the original work of famous calligraphers in the past.
Her old man Ren told the expert that Ren Junxuan became the head of the court, and became the head of their family and began to build an old house in Henan. After Ren Junxuan got old, his great-grandson Ren Derun took over the old house. Adhering to the family motto of the Ren family, he stood out from the imperial examinations and became a second-rank official in the court.
What makes Ren Jinling most proud is that during his tenure, Ren Derun was appreciated by the Emperor Daoguang through his own performance and ability, and also gave the Ren family a plaque written by himself "Aiding the National Government".
Especially every grass and tree in the Ren family compound, every brick and tile reveals the treasures of ancient art architecture, especially the horse-shaped horse-shaped horse-shaped by Hu people in front of the house, as well as the exquisite brackets on the beams and the houses. Even after a hundred years of baptism, you can still clearly feel the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients.
Under the leadership of Mr. Ren, the expert visited the Ren family compound that was seven in and seven out. Whether it was the buildings outside, ancient objects in the home, and Ren Jinling also mentioned that in the past, in order to protect cultural relics, the Ren family buried many valuable items, so that they were not destroyed on a large scale and have been preserved until now.
After hearing this, the expert nodded repeatedly and said, "This house cannot be demolished. It is a big treasure. Every place reveals a historical story, and it is also the inheritance of Chinese culture." So with the help of experts from all sides, the old house finally received attention from the government in 2009, and also issued an order to protect it. No one could demolish the Ren family compound.
The developer saw this scene and completely died of demolition. The government issued an order. Who would dare to demolish the Ren family compound? Ren Jinling's heart that had been hanging for two years was finally back in his stomach.
Although Mr. Ren followed his father's will and kept the Ren family compound, he also suffered a lot. It would not take a long time to completely change the fate of the old house. Although the old house is now protected by the relevant cultural relics bureau, it still needs to be completed through many cumbersome documents and applications to become a part of Chinese culture. This is not only the spiritual inheritance of the Ren family, but also a witness to the history of the Chinese nation.
In 2017, Ren Jinling submitted relevant materials and applied to become a "museum". After accepting the application, the Cultural Relics Bureau named the museum of the old house " Tianxiang Museum ".
Tianxiang is not simply for the good meaning, but when the ancestors of the Ren family became officials in the late Qing Dynasty, the people near Dongshima Village were killed by war, and bandits always came to invade the lives of the people.
After seeing this situation, the Ren family spontaneously assigned silver from their own account book to build the village wall at its own expense to protect the people around them. Therefore, the names of the surrounding villages were very grateful to the Ren family and gave the village wall a grateful name "Tianxiang Village".
The Cultural Relics Bureau only after receiving the notice, adding the word Tianxiang to the front of the museum, symbolizing the efforts and contributions of the Ren family. Now Ren Jinling has become the director of the museum, and takes tourists from different places for free every day to tell the historical stories of generations.
Ren Jinling will take out the skills he learned when he was young in his spare time, repair and redecorate the aging part of his house.
When the Chinese New Year is over, Ren Jinling will lead his descendants to paste couplets and the characters "Fu" on the windows and doors of the house. Even the old house that has been around for 200 years will be revitalized under the careful care of the Ren family.
Although Ren Jinling is getting older, his son and daughter-in-law still follow the family motto and wishes of his ancestors, protect the Ren family compound, patiently explain the past history to tourists, and inherit the spirit and material culture intact.
All of us today can feel the wisdom of the ancients and the glory of history. This is the spirit and culture that cannot be bought with "one hundred million", and it is also the state of thought that people in the world should feel well. As the saying goes, life is short, and when the physical body disappears, it also seems worthless. Only the eternal existence of the spirit can make this life worthwhile.
