Lingnan’s “Grey Chronicles Top Scholars” and “Music Masters” all come from Sanshan Village, Shawan Town, Panyu
In Shawan Town, Panyu, Guangzhou, there is an ancient village called “Craftsman Village”. The ancient temple of the ancestors in the village is also the only “Lu Ban Temple” discovered in Guangdong Province.
In the old days, 70% or 80% of the men in Sanshan Village were repairing ancient buildings. They involved many jobs such as plasterers, gray plastic, brick carvings, carpenters, murals, etc. They traveled along the waterways across the Pearl River Delta and made a living by relying on good craftsmanship.
What kind of story does this ancient craftsman village have? Recently, the reporter came to Sanshan Village for an in-depth interview.
There is an ancient: Sanshan Craftsmen wherever the waterway reaches.
Sanshan Village is located at the west gate of Panyu District. Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw is separated from Shunde. There are many farmlands and ponds in the village. It is a typical Lingnan 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 building craftsmen. At that time, women farmed at home and took children, while males took boats to work in mud and water along the waterway.” Huang Qunqing, 65 years old this year, 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 came from a family of craftsmen and dealt with ancient buildings all his life. “I am familiar with every type of ancient building construction and decoration, civil engineering, decoration, gray plastic, brick carving, and wood carving. Babaylan 1990 cloth draw“Aged 15, Babaylan 1990 cloth draw That year, 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 Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw, 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 drawing and drawing.Boats come and go. Without convenient waterways, there would be no more 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. ”
It is understood that the craftsmen in Sanshan Village often go to Dongguan, Foshan, Taishan and other places. In Li Guangyong’s memory, every year on the fourth and fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the craftsmen leave home to return to the construction site. During the mid-year festival, the craftsmen may not come back, but on the day of the “Master’s Day” (the 13th of the sixth lunar month every year), they will definitely return from rowing, dress neatly, come to the temple early, say hello to each other, and visit the “ancestor” Luban.
Architect: The ancient temple group of Aoshan uses a saddle-style fire wall
Recently, I remember Cinema 1950 witch clothes The draw follows ancient building experts and villagers to visit the Aoshan Ancient Temple Group. The ancient temple group is located in Fuchun Road, Sanshan Village. The building covers an area of 557.7 square meters, with a magnificent appearance.
The ancient temple group is backed by Aoshan, which is surrounded by green Aoshan, and is a square and a Fengshui pond in front of the temple. The ancient temple group is lined from north to south: Shennong Ancient Temple, Xianshi Ancient Temple, Aoshan Ancient Temple, Baoen Temple, and Chaoyin Pavilion, so it is called the “Ancient Temple Group”.

Ancient architecture experts said that the Aoshan Ancient Temple Group is one of the few large temple groups in Panyu District. The architectural layout and sculpture art of the temple group have high artistic value. In 2000, it was announced as the internal control historical and cultural protection area of Guangzhou; in July 2002, it was incorporated into the “Aoshan AncientBabaylan 1990 cloth draw“” was announced as a cultural relics protection unit in Guangzhou.
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 the Aoshan Ancient Temple Group uses a saddle-style fire wall.It is very rare in the entire Guangdong Province.

It is said that except for Fengning Temple in Shiwan Town, Foshan City and Pan Clan Ancestral Hall in Shixiang Village, Shixiang Town, Duyang Town, Yunfu Yuncheng District, it is difficult to find traces of saddle-style volcanic walls in Guangdong Province.
Craftsmen: The gray sculptures and wood carvings of the Chen Family Ancestral Academy are both handed by Sanshan craftsmen
Liang Mou, a researcher in folk culture 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 from Sanshan Village were selected to participate.” Li Zhipei, chairman of Sanshan Village, introduced that Sanshan Village also produced many famous ancient architectural craftsmen 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, Lao Cuixi was the “master of murals”. Many of the murals of the Chen Family Ancestral Gray 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. He worked as a deputy manager at Shawan Construction Company. He also has another identity – the grandchild of Lao Cuixi.
”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 Babaylan 1990 cloth draw 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 Family in the 72 counties in the province, the entire project gathers famous craftsmen and manufacturers from all over the province. 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 Jilingnan has been created.The ancient fine Chen Family Temple formed by the architectural art of all dynasties.
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 took the villagers to rebuild this ancient temple. The Lu Ban statues were remade based on old photos.” Huang Qunqing told reporters that before the rebuilding, some parts were collapsed and were dilapidated. “The best preserved are the murals on the wall Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw and the street bricks on the ground. At that time, many murals were painted with white ash, and the workers carefully cleaned them, so that these exquisite murals were regained and saw the sunset again.”
At the two entrances of the rebuilt ancient temple, the reporter saw two couplets. The couplets at the back hall were “The great craftsman and the high doors were all inclusive; the rules and regulations were established to guide Huai (the word “Huai”) to know the present”; the couplets at the front hall were “The rules were determined by the square and round Yi Shike followed this method, and the ink rope was divided into curves and straight crafts and used the 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 saidSince the restoration of 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 celebrate at the construction site. “I have a special relationship with this Luban Temple. Every year when the master gave birth to me, I will come back at the 1960 witch cloth draw.”
Development: selected as the second batch of national characteristic towns
Sanshan Village Chairman Li Zhipei said that in the past, 70% of the men in the entire village were engaged in the construction industry, and now only a few craftsmen are still sticking to it. “In the past, ancient buildings were 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 sculptor Liang Mian is from Sanshan Village. His father was originally a Shawan plasterer. He learned art from his father since he was a child and has devoted himself to studying gray sculpture art for more than 50 years. The works created are used in Shawan Aoshan Ancient Temple, Baomo Garden, Nanyue Garden, Qinghui Garden, Xishan Temple, Nanhua Temple, Shunfeng Park, etc.
Now, Liang Mian opens a learning studio in Sanshan Village to inherit gray plastic skills. “I have a small gray plastic workbench at home. My grandchildren like it very much. They can learn it as soon as I free myself. I will teach them whenever I am free.”

The construction technology has always been passed down in the form of master and apprenticeship. It has never entered the school to become a subject. However, Sanshan Village offers gray plastic courses in primary schools and kindergartens, which are popular with 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 Luban Festival exhibition this year, but unfortunately it was not enough, so I missed it. It’s better 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 material. “It’s not time to show this year, so I’ll wait for next year.”
Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw20Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawIn 17 years, Sanshan Village was included in the second batch of national characteristic towns. Li Zhipei said that Sanshan Village has a history of more than 800 years, and the Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw commemorating Luban eventBabaylan 1990 clothes draw 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 artisan works from all over the province to attract more young people to learn. In the future, Sanshan Village will be built into a characteristic town of ancient architecture and craftsmen in Lingnan.
Inheritance: Let young craftsmen see the pre-professional scenery of Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw Zhu Babaylan 1990 cloth drawQiuli said that urban and rural historical and cultural heritage Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawThe industry is mainly protected by craftsmen. Now most of the industry are over 50 years old. The lack of successors 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? Zhu Qiuli believes that to retain craftsmen, we must first have encouragement policies. Old artists must have the right status. With a 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 has also grown old. Take a Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw example. Now there are no few bamboo building on the market.It is a good craft of trench trench restoration. This is also a traditional craft of ancient building restoration. The bamboo trench is lightweight and is suitable for repairing one or two floors of ancient buildings, which is more convenient than an iron rack. “Ouyang Lun, an ancient building repair expert, told reporters.
A ancient building expert told reporters: “Now the 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 nature of protecting ancient buildings and their traditional craftsmen. ”
The expert believes that the value of craftsmen lies in inheriting traditional technology and striving for excellence. Craftsmen are the basic guarantee for restoring the original appearance of ancient buildings. They attach importance to craftsmen, which reflects respect for the traditional value of Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw. Only when craftsmen have successors, these precious ancient building construction techniques and spiritual qualities attached to them will be preserved. (Xiao Guilai)
