They traveled along the waterways across the Pearl River Delta and made a living by relying on good skills.

It is a typical Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawLingnan water town. The “three goodnesses” in Sanshan Village refer to “goodness, virtue and blessing”, which embodies the beautiful wishes of the ancestors.
”Before 1949, more than 75% of the males in Sanshan Village were ancient architectural craftsmen. At that time, women farmed at home and took children, while men worked on a boat along the waterway to engage in mud and water work.” Huang Qunqing, 65, is from Zini Village, Shawan, and is neighboring Sanshan Village. “Although they are two villages, they are as close as the same village.”
Huang Qunqing also comes from a family of craftsmen and has dealt with the ancient buildings for the rest of her life. “I am familiar with every type of ancient building construction and decoration, civil engineering, decoration, gray plastic, brick carving, and wood carving.” At the age of 15, Huang Qunqing followed his father to travel to the Pearl River Delta, “doing mud and water work”, and participated in the renovation of Baomo Garden and Yuyin Mountain House.
Speaking of the wandering life of craftsmen, Li Guangyong, a villager engaged in mural restoration, told reporters: “My father, Li Jieming, is also a muralist. He has been engaged in mural drawing and restoration for more than 40 years and has traveled throughout the Pearl River Delta region, and has been rowing. If there is no convenient waterway, there will be no famous craftsmen in Sanshan Village.”

Li Guangyong told reporters that Sanshan Village is close to the Zi Ni River and Shunde Waterway, and is connected to the main channel of the Pearl River. “Where the river flows to and where the passenger ship arrives, there are craftsmen in Sanshan Village. ”
Babaylan 1990 clothes draw It is understood that the places where craftsmen in Sanshan Village often go to include Dongguan, Foshan, Taishan and other places. In Li Guangyong’s memory, every year on the fourth and fifth day of the Lunar New Year, craftsmen leave home to return to the construction site. During the mid-year festival, craftsmen may not come back, but on the day of “Master’s Day” (the 13th of the sixth lunar month of each year), they will definitely return from rowing, dress neatly, come to the temple early, say hello to each other, and visit the “ancestor” Luban.
Architectural: The ancient temple group of Aoshan uses a saddle-type fire wall
Recently, the reporter visited the ancient temple group of Aoshan with ancient construction experts and villagers. The ancient temple group is located on Fuchun Road, Sanshan Village. The building covers an area of 557.7 square meters, with a strict building and a grand appearance.
The ancient temple group is backed by Aoshan, with a square in front of the temple and Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawA Fengshui Pond.

Experts said that the uniqueness of the Aoshan Ancient Temple Group lies in the design of the fire wall. Most Lingnan buildings use a wok-ear-house-style fire wall, but Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawAoshan Ancient Temple Group uses a saddle-style fire wall, which is very rare in the entire Guangdong Province.

It is said that except for the few places in Fengning Temple in Shiwan Town, Foshan City and the Pan Family Ancestral Hall in Shixiang Village, Shixiang Town, Duyang Town, Yunfu Yuncheng District, it is difficult to find traces of saddle-style fire wall in Guangdong Province.
Craftsmen: The gray sculptures and wood carvings of the Chen Family Ancestral Craftsmen were both handed down by the Sanshan craftsmen
Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw Panyu District Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw Liang Mou, a folk culture researcher in Panyu District, introduced that in the Ming Dynasty, many folk craftsmen had gathered in Sanshan Village. “In the Qing Dynasty, the court selected skilled craftsmen from all over the country. Only after passing the assessment could they participate in the construction of the Summer Palace. At that time, the craftsmen in Sanshan Village were selected to participate.”
Sanshan Village Chairman Li Zhipei introduced that many famous ancient architecture craftsmen also appeared in the history of Sanshan Village. The most representative figures were Jin Yaosheng and Lao Cuixi. Jin Yaosheng was the “top scholar of the gray batch” in Lingnan, and Lao Cuixi was the “mural master” of Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw “Music master”. Many of the murals of the Chen Family Ancestral Ancestral Sculptures and Lingnan buildings around Panyu were written by the two of them. In addition, many exquisite wood carvings in the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, the most famous ancestral hall in Guangzhou, are also masterpieces of the Sanshan craftsmen back then.
Lao Yaochun, an 81-year-old villager in Sanshan, was once an ancient building construction technician in the sandBay Construction Company has served as deputy manager, and he also has another identity – Lao Cuixi’s grandchildren.
”My brother Lao Zhuoqian and grandfather Lao Cuixi are both muralists, and many murals in the Nanfanshun area are from them.” Usually, Lao Yaochun always likes to visit the ancient temple complex of Aoshan. “When you look up here, you may see the murals of grandpa and brother.”
When talking about another Lingnan gray sculpture master Jin Yaosheng from Sanshan Village, Lao Yaochun gave a thumbs up. “The gray sculpture work of Chen Jiaci was made by Master Jin Yaosheng as the foreman.” In Sanshan Village, Jin Yaosheng’s gray sculpture work “Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust” is still placed under the front eaves of Luban Temple. Its style is like the landscape of the southern country, with a refreshing cultural texture.
It is understood that as the Chen Family Ancestral Hall of the Chen Family in the 72Babaylan 1990 clothes draw counties in the province, the entire project gathers famous craftsmen and manufacturers of the province. Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw Among them, gray plastic decoration was provided by Jin Yaosheng, the “gray batch top scholar” at that time. It is precisely because of these top craftsmen that the Chen Family Temple, a fine ancient building that has been created, has been the masterpiece of the architectural art of Lingnan in history.
Villages restore Luban Temple and later generations praise craftsmen
Luban has been respected by craftsmen as the “ancestor” and “father of all craftsmen” since ancient times. The Luban Temple in Sanshan Village is hidden in the Aoshan ancient temple group in the village. The ancient temple group is connected by five ancient temples. The most distinctive of them is the ancient temple of the ancestors, who is dedicated to Luban. The temple is currently the only folk-industry temple dedicated to “Lu Ban” discovered in Guangdong Province. It has a history of more than 300 years. Sanshan Village still retains the traditional celebration of “Master’s Birth”.

The most distinctive among the ancient temple groups is the ancient temple of the ancestor, namely the Luban Temple. The temple was built during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty and has been renovated several times. Expert survey data shows that the ancient temple of the Master is located northeast and southwest, with three rooms and three entrances, covering an area of 105.74 square meters.
The second and third entrances are hard tops, with herringbone sealed volcanic gable walls, gray plastic and ancient ridges, gray tube tiles, and blue brick walls. As soon as he entered the worship pavilion, he was decorated with many murals. The murals were rich in content, including figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc., and his painting skills were superb. The granite stone door frame of the mountain gate, the stone forehead is engraved with the “Xianshi Ancient Temple” and the wall fence is decorated with the mural of the “Eight Immortals Drunk”.
”In 1993, I tookThe villagers rebuilt this ancient temple, and the statues of Lu Ban were all remade based on old photos. “Huang Qunqing told reporters that before the renovation, some parts were collapsed and dilapidated. “The best preserved are the murals on the wall and the street bricks on the ground. At that time, many murals were painted with white ash, and the workers carefully cleaned them, which made these exquisite murals see the light of day again. ”
At the two entrances of the rebuilt ancient temple, the reporter saw two couplets. The couplets at the back gate were “The great craftsman and high doors were all inclusive; the rules and regulations were established Huai (it should be ‘Huai’Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw) The couplets at the front gate were “The rules determine the square and round Yi Shike followed this method, and the ink rope was divided into curves and straight crafts and used their materials well.” Huang Qunqing told reporters that these two couplets were written by later generations during the renovation, demonstrating the connotation and professional principles of craftsmanship.
Huang Qunqing said that since the restoration of the Luban Temple, Sanshan Village will also spontaneously hold a master’s birthday (i.e. Luban’s birthday). If you cannot come back, the craftsmen of Sanshan Village will be href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Babaylan 1990 cloth drawPeople will celebrate at the construction site. “I have a special relationship with this Luban Temple. Every year, the master will come back for a birthday. ”
Development: Selected as the second batch of national characteristic towns
Li Zhipei, chairman of Sanshan Village, said that in the past, 70% of men in the entire village were engaged in the construction industry, but now only a few craftsmen are still sticking to it. “In the past, the construction of ancient buildings focused on slow work and meticulous work. Sometimes a worker could only build 25 blue bricks and 3 step bricks a day. In the eyes of young people, craftsmen dealing with bricks and mud is a physical job, and they don’t like to do it. “Li Zhipei said.
The famous gray plastic craftsman Liang Mian is from Sanshan Village. His father was originally a Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawShawan plastering craftsman. He learned art from his father since he was a child and has devoted himself to studying gray plastic arts for more than 50 years. His works were used in Shawan Aoshan Ancient Temple, Baomo Garden, Nanyue Garden, Qinghui Garden, Xishan Temple, Huanan Temple, Shunfeng Park, etc.
Now, Liang Mian opens a learning studio in Sanshan Village to inherit the gray plastic skills. “I have a small gray in my familyKomiks 1960 witch cloth DrawThe grandchildren like it very much and learn it as soon as I free myself to teach them. ”

Building craftsman is passed down in the form of master and apprenticeship. It has never entered the school and became a discipline. However, Sanshan Village has offered courses such as gray plastic in primary schools and kindergartens, which are popular among children.
In a small street shop in Sanshan Village, Li Guangyong is creating a gray plastic work called “Eight Immortals Picture”. “This work was originally prepared to participate in the village’s Lu Ban Festival display this year, but unfortunately it was not enough and missed it. It’s good to miss it, you can calm down and polish it slowly. ”
While chatting with reporters, Li Guangyong held a handful of multi-head wood cone and pressed it on the gray plastic panel, making it easier for the panel to hang clay. “It’s not time to display this year, so I’ll wait for the display next year. ”
In 2017, Sanshan Village entered the Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw and selected the second batch of national characteristic towns. Li Zhipei said that Sanshan Village has a history of more than 800 years, and the commemoration of Luban will become the annual festival in the village—— “Luban Festival”.
Li Zhipei also proposed to build a Luban cultural square to the north of the ancient temple and build a craftsman museum to collect and exhibit craftsmen’s works across the province to attract more young people to learn. In the future, Sanshan Village will be built into a characteristic town of ancient architecture craftsmen in Lingnan.
Inheritance: Let young craftsmen see the career prospects
Zhu Qiuli said that urban and rural historical and cultural heritage is mainly protected by craftsmen. Now most of the industry are over 50 years old.Babaylan 1990 cloth draw. No successor is a common problem. “The lack of vocational education and the narrow teaching of masters and apprentices has exacerbated the crisis of craftsmen’s inheritance. ”
How to solve the problem of inheritance of craftsmen? Babaylan 1990 cloth draw Zhu Qiuli believes that to retain craftsmen, we must first have encouragement policies. Old artists must have the right status. With the status, they must also have corresponding cultural heritage allowances and guarantee mechanisms. “Traditional architectural craftsmanship, like modern architectural decoration, must have professional title assessment, so that young craftsmen can see their professional prospects. ”
”As the craftsmen grow old, the technology of ancient building construction is alsoKomiks 1960 witch cloth draw is old. For example, there are no more people in the market to build bamboo trellis. This is also a traditional craft of restoration of ancient buildings. The bamboo trellis is lightweight and suitable for repairing one or two floors of ancient buildings, which is more convenient than iron racks.” Ouyang Lun, an expert in ancient building repair, told reporters.
A ancient architecture expert told reporters: “Now that government departments have vigorously promoted the activities of famous craftsmen, the status and treatment of craftsmen have gradually improved. In addition to paying attention to a few famous craftsmen, we should also pay attention to ordinary craftsmen. Only in this way can we not deviate from the essence of protecting ancient buildings and their traditional craftsmen.”
Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw The expert believes that the value of craftsmen lies in inheriting traditional technologies and striving for excellence. Craftsman talents are the basic guarantee for restoring the original appearance of ancient buildings. Attention to craftsmen reflects respect for traditional values. Only when craftsmen have successors can these precious ancient building construction techniques and the spiritual qualities attached to them be preserved. (Xiao GuilaiKomiks 1960 witch cloth draw)
