Huguang Guild Hall is the biggest target among the four haunted houses, and I am most familiar with it. To be honest, when I saw that the "Huguang Guild Hall" I was familiar with was included in the "Four Fierce Houses in Beijing", I really couldn't help sweating ~! My two houses are in Ciqikou and yangqiao, and Hufang Bridge is the only place where I can reverse my car. There is a complaint here: when I was in high school, the North Shore of Taoran just started to develop, and the price was only about 6,900 square meters. At that time, I was naive to imagine that I would buy a house there when I got married, and times have changed. The growth rate of house prices in recent years has made it more and more difficult for me to buy a house there. Pull it back, pull it back and say Huguang Hall.
Beijing Huguang Guild Hall was founded in the 12th year of Qing Jiaqing (1807), located at No.3 Hufang Road, Xuanwu District. It is one of the only guilds in Beijing that has a theater. Nearly 200 years of historical vicissitudes have endowed her with strong historical and cultural connotations. Historically, Ji Xiaolan, Zeng Guofan, Tan Xinpei, Yu Shuyan, Mei Lanfang and the great revolutionary pioneer Sun Yat-sen all left their footprints here. Huguang Guild Hall is even more famous in the modern history of China. During Guangxu's reign, there was a temporary meeting here, and most of the talents and talents who stayed here to talk about "Shangxi" drinking tea were well-known people in the ruling and opposition parties. Especially since then, Tan Sitong and Master Kang Liang, who became famous in the food market, are the most famous.
The clubhouse is antique, covered by pavilions and pavilions, and there are bursts of Yan Yingying among the lush Woods. The antique grand theater building is divided into two floors, which can accommodate more than 300 people. Carving beams and painting buildings are very particular, even if they are described in a grand way. There are various forms of performances here: Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Quyi, Crosstalk, and "Pianyangji" fan activities. There is a wonderful Peking Opera performance in Huguang Guild Hall every night, but the ticket price is quite expensive. Seven or eight years ago, I asked once, and the word that Xiao Kong gave to the conductor was "There are no tickets for the evening show 100 ~!" Seriously hurt my self-esteem when I was a teenager. Since then, the conductor at the entrance of the theater has left a very bad impression on me, and it is still increasing today. In fact, it is understandable that they have a bad attitude. Who let them all look at people from "small holes"? However, it is gratifying that there are still low-priced matinee performances for fans and friends every Saturday and Sunday, basically at the price of twenty or thirty. It is said that Beijing's "famous tickets" often haunt here.
The second floor next to the theater building is the first opera museum in Beijing, which contains objects and props used by famous people in Liyuan. Among them are the "four famous pianos" which are well-known at home and abroad. These are four Jinghu songs produced by Mr. Wang Shanpeng, the producer of Jinghu, according to the voice conditions and singing styles of Mei Lanfang, Shang Xiaoyun, Cheng and Xun Huisheng. Chen Delin, a famous Peking Opera artist, entered the Palace that year, and inherited the "waist tag presented by the imperial court": the articles used by many famous artists such as Zhang Junqiu, Yang Xiaolou and Li Wanchun gathered here. Precious historical materials, cultural relics, audio-visual materials, etc. The collection shows the development track of China opera in detail. I was young when I went. What impressed me the most were those exquisite clothes, which were worn by famous actors that year.
There is a small animal breeding area between the theatre and the exhibition hall. I don't remember the other animals clearly, except that a few pheasants and two peacocks can only have chicks. I remember there was a white peacock there. Please don't underestimate this albino animals. In ancient China, it was a sign of good luck. If you catch a deer and a tiger, you won't have to worry for the rest of your life. Just wait for a promotion.
Ok, now let's talk about why there are ghosts here. It is rumored that before the guild hall was built here, it was a mass grave. In the early years of the Republic of China, Foshan Dajia invested in Yizhuang and hired an old leper like a lion to take care of it. After the old people lived here, the original ghost crying and phosphorus-phosphorus ghost fire in mass graves gradually decreased until the old people died of illness. Because the old man looks terrible, no one dares to talk to him, and his identity has always been a mystery. It is said that the spectre was reborn nearby, some stones and rubble were thrown out of the wall by misbehaving or unfilial people for no reason, and there were curses, but no one opened the door ... Since then, even single men in Hufangqiao have been afraid to walk at night.
Another reason why Huguang Guild Hall is haunted is said to be Zhang's former residence in Ming Dynasty. Zhang and Zhang, famous reformers in Ming Dynasty, were from Huguang Jiangling (now suburb of Shashi, Hubei). In the 11th year of Wanli (1583), in March, he seized posthumous title, the title of Wenzhong of the states, and relieved his son, Jian Xiu, from the command post of Royal Guards. In May, Zhangzhai was raided and more than ten people starved to death. Jing Xiu, the eldest son, committed suicide, while Mao Xiu, the third son, did not die and saved his life. Under the pleading of Pan Jixun, the minister of punishments, he left a house and ten hectares of land to support Zhang's 80-year-old mother.
