I. Scale of the manor
Huilongzhuang has a large scale, covering an area of 20,468 square meters. There are two watchtowers, one large and one small, 16 courtyards, 18 patios, more than 220 houses, 308 doors and 899 windows, supported by 328 stone pillars. There are also many criss-crossing underground tunnels, which are 28 kilometers long.
There is a saying about the size of Huilongzhuang: in this manor, there is a servant who is responsible for opening and closing windows. He starts to open the window at dawn every morning and doesn't finish it until lunch. He didn't have a long rest, so he had to prepare for the evening and start closing the windows. It is not difficult to see how big Huilongzhuang is. No wonder it is called "the first village in Southwest China".
Second, the world doubts.
Why does the manor adopt the pattern of palace architecture?
Why is the architectural style so similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing, and dare to use dragon and phoenix patterns in sculptures?
Who is the real owner of this manor?
Who has been guarding for so many years?
People have been trying to find out the secret of the manor for hundreds of years. Behind this building, mysterious legends are hidden everywhere, and the truth should not be found so far.
Third, all kinds of statements.
1. Report 1
It is said that the manor was built by a Wang family from the seventh year of Jiaqing (1802) to the seventh year of the Republic of China (19 18), which took a total of 1 16 years to complete. According to legend, when it was most prosperous, the territory of the Wang family was bordered by Guizhou in the south, Hejiang County in the west, Qijiang River in the east and Lishi Town in Jiangjin in the north, so it was called "county". At that time, Wang Jiayi collected 1000 tons of rent every year (in the old days, a load was about 750 Jin). Every Spring Festival in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the "beggars" in the county come here. As we all know, Wang Jianian opened a warehouse in 2000 to help people, which is an unwritten rule. There is also a saying that "it's a pity not to climb the watchtower in Longzhuang;" It is a blessing to climb the tower and see the scenery of the whole village. "
According to the research of Wang's descendants, Wang was born in Xiaogan, Macheng County, Hubei Province. In the Qing Dynasty, four generations of grandfathers were all guards. On one occasion, the national treasure was lost. In order to avoid the punishment of the nine clansmen, except for the ancestors who stayed at home to take the blame, everyone else fled with a lot of gold and silver jewelry, sneaked into Simian Mountain in jiangjin district, and then repaired Longzhuang to breed clansmen. The first bucket of gold for the Wangs after they arrived in Jiangjin was to receive government orders and purchase wood for the royal family. During the Daoguang period (1821-1850), the royal family bought a large number of nanmu in southwest China for building palaces and temples. There are many giant sequoias and nanmu in Huilongzhuang and its nearby mountainous areas. The owner knows the officialdom very well, and has the start-up capital and timber resources. Business is naturally smooth-the Sunqian River at the foot of the village can reach the Yangtze River directly, and timber flows out of Sichuan in large quantities, and financial resources are rolling in. By the end of the Qing dynasty, the Wang family, who had dug up the first bucket of gold, became stronger and stronger. Du Tao, the nephew of Wang Caimei, was a juren in the late Qing Dynasty, and he was familiar with the younger generation of Du who came to Jiangjin private school to teach and was also a juren in the late Qing Dynasty. After a long time, Wang Jia and Du Jian established an interest chain, and black gold from Shanghai began to be transported to Huilongzhuang. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the mountainous areas around Huilongzhuang had formed the central node of the surrounding towns, with developed land and water resources and a wide variety of commodities. The Wang family involved in many businesses started opium business.
2. Statement 2
According to legend, the manor was built in the 28th year of Li Yong and completed in the 13th year of Kangxi (1674 Jiayin year) and the first year of Zhaowu (1678 winter), which lasted for five years. The total cost is about 952,000 silver (equivalent to RMB 630 million). According to Honghua Pavilion, during the construction of Huilongzhuang, there were more than 380 artists and 200 soldiers. The average employment is nearly 600 people. Among them, the labor and funds need about 494,000 yuan of silver, and the materials need about 456,000 yuan of silver. It was built in Sichuan by Zu and Wang Pinduo (deputy viceroy) at the order of Zhou Wuwang. Zu, formerly known as "Beiding Palace", was rushed to Beiding Palace before it was completed, leaving Vice Governor Wang to guard it. In the autumn of 1680, Beiding Palace was renamed as "Huilongzhuang", which was recorded in Honghua Pavilion collected by the Montessori family in southern Guizhou.
According to the genealogy of the Wu family in Guizhou, the ancestor left Beiding Palace (Huilongzhuang) to start a career. Before his death, Wu (Meng) left a seven-rhythm poem to future generations, which read, "My family has regretted the world for a long time, and Beiding Palace began to seek stability." Gong Renju, the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, fought to move the flag. Some scholars think this poem is a treasure map. It means that there is a gold pole near Beiding Palace, where there is a treasure to promote the great cause. This estimate is the imagination of some scholars and has no exact basis.
1.？ Other statements
According to legend, this villa is a refuge villa built by Wu Sangui, and it is one of his Xunzhuang (According to the Biography of Wu Sangui in Qing Dynasty, Wu built Xunzhuang extensively in his area, and the density was described as "seven Xunzhuang"). The so-called "theory" founded by Wang's ancestors in Qianlong 60 years ago and in Jiaqing four years later may be rumors created to cover up Wu Sangui. Wen Jian said that the master was a short-lived emperor, that the master was rich and a relative of the country, and that the queen actually said that some people in the master's family were Xu and emperors, and the princess became a queen. Only Wu Sangui met this requirement in the early Qing Dynasty. Wang's ancestors deliberately concealed this matter, perhaps because once exposed, it may lead to genocide. After the San Francisco Rebellion was pacified, Emperor Kangxi sent a letter to destroy the Wu Sangui family, and there was no time limit. Wang inherited the Wu's grange and was naturally the object of execution.
Fourth, I want to know
According to online records, consulting local literature and interviewing Wang's descendants and servants, it should be true that Wang has lived in Huilongzhuang for a long time, but there are several places I still can't understand:
1. Is Huilongzhuang made by Wang Jian?
2. If Huilongzhuang was not built by Wang Jian, what chance is there to live in it?
3. Who is the "Wu Gong" in "Zulu Xi 'an and Wang Pingduo (deputy viceroy) were ordered by Zhou Wugong to build in Sichuan"?
4.？ If it was built by Wu Sangui, why was it inherited by Wang? What is the relationship between Wang and Wu Sangui?
