News of expropriation and demolition of traditional buildings

Known as the strongest "nail house" in Guangdong, Zheng's ancestral hall still stands in Nanshan District, the richest city in Shenzhen. The reason why it is called "the strongest nail house" is not only because the ancestral hall is in the bustling downtown; It is also because the descendants of Zheng's ancestral hall are domineering and shouting, "Whoever plays the idea of ancestral hall, we will buy whose company." You know, Tencent's building is next to the ancestral hall. It won't be a bluff to release such wild talk. Zheng's descendants really have this strength.

With the development of the city, the word "demolition" appears, and many people have achieved a class leap in life because of the compensation for demolition. In the process of demolition all over the country, nail households have appeared, and most nail households have chosen to stay where they are because the compensation for demolition has not reached their expectations. Zheng's ancestral hall does not exist, and the reason why it can become a nail house is only because Zheng's descendants remember that their ancestors taught that "no matter how poor you are, you can't sell your ancestral business." .

To outsiders, Zheng's ancestral halls are found in many parts of the country and were built for the ancestors or descendants of the family. The existence of ancestral temple enshrines ancestral tablets and records the past development of this big family. Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, ancestral halls have gradually declined and withdrawn from the historical stage. Even if there is a family with an ancestral temple, there is no courtesy and respect in the past; People live in their own homes, and after one or two hundred years, the traces of life will be completely erased.

It is a great thing that Zheng's ancestral hall can be enshrined and repaired by later generations. Although the ancestral hall has the architectural style of Qing Dynasty, it was built in Ming Dynasty. It is said that the ancestors of the Zheng family came to Shenzhen even in the Song Dynasty to live, take root and multiply here.

In ancient times, it was not a simple matter to build clan ancestral halls. Only when the family develops to a certain extent and some rich or powerful people appear can they have the financial resources and appeal to build clan ancestral halls. The ancestors of the Zheng family were able to repair the ancestral hall and warned future generations to protect and repair it, which is also the main reason why the ancestral hall can stand for more than 600 years.

Today, the Zheng ancestral hall itself is a cultural relic. Like a 600-year-old "old man", he witnessed the development and changes of Shenzhen. It also experienced a cruel war and was well preserved in the war. There is a cultural corridor in the ancestral hall, which depicts the distribution map of Laodayong Village. Through this map, we can see the land here hundreds of years ago. People at that time would never have thought that hundreds of years later, the place where the ancestral temple was located would become a treasure house with an inch of land and gold.

Zheng's ancestral hall is not only a solemn place, but also a place for the daily leisure and entertainment of Zheng's descendants. Older aunts and grandfathers will come here to play mahjong, have tea and chat, and children will also come here to play. The ancestors of the family will be very happy and gratified to see the happy life of their descendants.

Only with the protection of future generations can the ancestral temple last forever. Zheng's ancestral hall is located in the downtown area. After years of planning and development, it has long been surrounded by high-rise buildings and is full of modern life. The ancient architectural style of ancestral temple is incompatible with the present city; From the perspective of urban development, the existence of ancestral hall hinders the development of the city, so many developers have turned their attention to this ancestral hall. After all, building a high-rise building after demolition can bring more profits, so I don't hesitate to pay a high demolition fee.

The ancestral temple, which is irrelevant to outsiders, is their own root for Zheng's descendants. Ancestors once lived in this land, which is the final proof. In our impression, it is a very bad thing to tear down an ancestral hall, not to mention an ancestral hall with a long history of more than 600 years.

Whenever a developer comes up with the idea of ancestral temple, Zheng's descendants will decisively refuse. No matter who the other party is, what kind of demolition compensation can be given, this matter is not negotiable. In this process, there appeared that kind of domineering rhetoric, "whoever demolishes the ancestral hall will buy it!" .

This sentence is not just talk, the descendants of the Zheng family have this strength. For them, the ancestral temple is priceless and the inheritance of family culture, which should be handed over to future generations from their own hands. If you want to tear down such a cultural treasure house, no amount of money is negotiable.

Snail tells that the ancestral hall of the Zheng family can be preserved so well, which shows the prosperity of the Zheng family. It can also be seen that the Zheng family has long had a good education for future generations. To tell the truth, this is quite enviable. Not every family can do this. The ancestral temple built by ancestors has been passed down and perfected.

I believe that today's single-family families can be traced back to 100-200 years, and used to be a huge family. There are poor families and many rich families, among which there must be ancestral halls. In our generation, there are very few people who can know the roots, let alone the preservation and perfection of ancestral temples.

I learned from my grandparents that my family also moved from afar. As for where the roots are, there is no way to know, although the successful people in the clan built the family ancestral temple, integrated the genealogy and distributed it to every clan for free. The most obvious feeling that can give me is that people have no respect for immortals, and few people will take them seriously except the elderly. This is the general status quo.

The existence of Zhengjia ancestral hall is very special; As long as the ancestral temple exists for one day, the people will unite as one and have strong cohesion. The 600-year-old "old man" will continue to witness the development of Shenzhen and future generations and become a cultural relic with higher value.

I saw the Zheng ancestral hall, the most admired among all kinds of "nail households". What do you think of this ancestral temple? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area!
