Why did the mysterious family "Style Thunder" suddenly disappear?

I wonder if you have heard that there is such a mysterious family in the architectural history of China.

From Kangxi to Guangxu, this family experienced eight emperors for more than 200 years, and this family presided over architectural affairs for the Qing Dynasty. I only did it for the Qing dynasty, but it fell instantly in the late Qing dynasty. From "imperial architect" to "wandering folk", even hiding in Tibet. No one knows, what happened in the meantime?

However, their names will remain immortal with exquisite skills. They are thunder.

Since the first generation of Lei, it has experienced Lei Jinyu, Lei, Lei Jiaxi, Lei, Lei Siqi, Lei Yanchang, Lei and so on.

After 260 years, he has been opening a royal style room, which is "the chief designer of the palace".

However, the curtain of the real "Style Lei" architectural family was opened by Lei Jinyu, the son of Lei Fada. At the beginning of Beijing, Lei Jinyu studied in imperial academy, then "abandoned school" and participated in the construction of the palace with his father.

His "appearance" began with saving a crisis. At that time, the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City was being repaired. Due to the lack of big wood, officials removed a golden nanmu from the Ming tomb and replaced it with the material of the beam of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Lei Jinyu's talents were brought into full play when he became the director of Qin Gong Department. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he began to build Yuanmingyuan on a large scale. By this time, Lei Jinyu was over sixty. But Yong Zhengdi didn't feel old, so he was appointed as the chief designer of Yuanmingyuan style house. Since then, the Lei family has ushered in the era of controlling the royal architecture.

The biggest feature of Yuanmingyuan is the ground landscaping. Even according to people's eyes, we have to admire the design wisdom of the style mine in those days.

The area where Yuanming Sanyuan is located is in Haidian today. At that time, it was flat, with no mountains and no water, but the groundwater in Haidian was quite rich. As a result, the excavated soil turned into mountains, water emerged from lakes, and pavilions were built on the flat land. Pavilions and pavilions have appeared on the mountain, and water is everywhere around the three major gardens, with mountains and rivers connected by small bridges and flowing water. Westerners call Yuanmingyuan "the garden of ten thousand gardens", which shows its supreme position in the history of world gardens.

After Lei Jinyu died, the Lei family lost the position of the style room, so the family moved back to their original place. But only one person refused to go back, and that was Lei Jinyu's sixth wife, Zhang, with her three-month-old son, Lei Sheng? Hey, smoke this? /p & gt；

Regardless of the ethical constraints, he cried in the Ministry of Industry with his young son in his arms, and finally supported the Thunder trade. Foot health brain yazhen? How about chewing the vertebral curtain and saying "Tuolao Minoza"? : Hey? Why don't you give me a present? Monument. Praise Zhang's indelible achievements in family history.

1860, British and French troops invaded, the emperor left the palace and the people fled, officials left their loyalty and patriotism to the monarch, and soldiers left their swords and guns to escape with honor.

When the British and French allied forces burned the Yuanmingyuan, a craftsman family stood up! Fight to protect the garden that our ancestors worked so hard to build. Ray's son-in-law was stabbed to death by an invading robber. The daughter led the whole family 14 and set herself on fire.

He experienced Daoguang, Tongzhi and Guangxu emperors in his life, and presided over the construction of Dingling, Ding Dong, Hui Ling and Xiyuan, as well as many palaces, gardens and tombs of princes and nobles.

Dingling is the representative work of Lei Siqi. The architecture of Dingling is layered, which is not only full of rhythm, but also forms a kind of ups and downs of luxury momentum, which is very shocking whether looking down or looking up. Lei Siqi was awarded five titles for his meritorious service in building a mausoleum.

After the death of Lei Siqi, his son Lei Tingchang became a new case. He presided over the reconstruction of the Temple of Heaven, the Taihe Gate of the Forbidden City, and the observation deck of the Empress Dowager Cixi's 10,000-year celebration.

Due to the closure of the Golden Voucher and Liang's meritorious service in Long 'entang, he was awarded the second prize by the court, and the glory of the Lei family reached its peak.

After the Yuanmingyuan was rebuilt and stopped, in order to take care of Cixi's face, the ministers put forward the suggestion of repairing the Three Seas. These three seas are the North Sea, the China Sea and the South China Sea to the south of the Forbidden City. One of the biggest projects is to build a magnificent Luan Hall. There is no doubt that the heavy responsibility falls on the head of Lei Ting again.

After the completion of the Hall of One Throat, Cixi immediately moved in and summoned the ministers to become the actual political center of the Qing court.

After the Revolution of 1911, it was renamed Huairentang. After liberation, it became the place where the Central Committee held major meetings.

1897, Cixi started the reconstruction project of Yuanmingyuan again, and Lei Tingchang's son made a case of the Yuanmingyuan style.

However, in 1900, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded again, and all kinds of royal buildings inside and outside Beijing were robbed again.

Since then, Lei Tingchang and Lei Caixi have carried out large-scale restoration and reconstruction. 1907, Lei Tingchang died. In the late Qing Dynasty, major projects such as the Mausoleum and the Regent's Palace were completed by Lei.

19 1 1 year, the revolution of 1911 broke out and the monarchy ended. Style room service disappeared, and style thunder withdrew from the historical stage.

Ray has been married twice, but both have "no children". He died of unemployment and childlessness.

This is the end of the architectural tradition of Lei, which has inherited the style of eight generations. In the ensuing chaos, the Lei family declined rapidly, and forced to make a living, they began to sell sample map files of Lei. Because of their fame, these paintings are very popular and can be bought in stalls, leading to some of them being exiled overseas.

Fortunately, this attracted the attention of Zhu Qiqian, an architectural expert. He hurriedly put forward suggestions for purchasing Tibet to the Cultural Foundation, which entrusted Beiping Library to purchase it.

1930, Lei Jia sold most of the pictures and files to Beiping Library for 4,500 silver dollars. It is said that the drawings were full of 10 trucks. An architectural family that has been inherited for more than 200 years has gone with 10 truck drawings.

With these ten trucks, the "Style Lei" family, which has half the architectural history, is extinct. There is no more style thunder in the world, and there are no more thunder craftsmen.
