Author:Jiefang Daily Time:2022.06.13

There is a Xiatang Street. There was a place where Chen Yun went to school, knowledge, and listening to bullets in his childhood. On this street, there is a white magnolia, which is the oldest city flower in Shanghai. It is listed as a national first -class ancient tree named wood (ancient tree number 0660).

This white magnolia is 8.7 meters high, the bust is 0.72 meters, the crown is 6 meters, and the tree age is more than 100 years. It is a testimony of the history of practicing pond, and it is a living cultural relic. Every spring, in the town of Liantang, in the leader of the Creative Cultural Street created by the Chen Yun Memorial Hall, this century -old white magnolia blooms flowers, blooming with a life that is not afraid of wind and rain, tough and unyielding life.

Qingpu District has a history of more than 6,000 years. It is one of the sources of human history and culture in Shanghai, and one of the largest districts with the largest ancient trees in Shanghai today. Qingpu's existing ancient trees include 25 varieties such as ginkgo, pine cypress, white magnolia, osmanthus, virginity, Lagerstroemia, and camphor, with a total of 142 trees.

Among them, the oldest city flower in Shanghai is located at No. 102 Xiatang Street, Lutang Town, Qingpu.

This is a set of residential houses built during the Republic of China. It is south and north. The brick and wood structure covers an area of about 640 square meters. As soon as it is a facade bungalow, two or three entrances are two floors, and there are corridors to form a Malaysian building, and four entrances are bungalowed houses.

This white magnolia is located in the Erxiang patio of the residential house. The roots are on the right side of the hall, and the trunk is leaned on the left side of the hall with a 45 -degree corner.

Bai Magnolia is a symbol of Shanghai cities, representing the city's spirit of struggling and pursuing excellence. In recent years, in order to protect this ancient tree, under the professional guidance of the ancient trees management departments of the city and district, the Chen Yun Memorial Hall has carefully formulated the ancient tree recovery protection plan. During the flowering period, the ancient trees are unique, full of fragrant trees, and each other with the ancient walls next to him.

Today, this residential house has been transformed into a bronze statue of leaders. Inside, there are the pioneers of communist revolution, such as Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun, six great men and the top ten marshals of New China.

The century -old white magnolia did not have the verification of who planned it, but it could be determined that it was a symbol of auspiciousness at the time.

Speaking of this ancient tree, I have to talk about the ancient town of Liantang. According to "Zhang Lian Xiaizhi", "The east and west of the pond is nine miles, the north and the south are six miles, the lakeside is connected, and the sides are all water. 8 ", Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences Press, 2005 edition)

Liantang Town has a history of thousands of years. The older people still remember that it was originally called Zhang Liantang. In the Three Kingdoms, the Northern Wu had shipped here. "Zhang Liantang".

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Liantang Town belonged to Wujiang, Yuanhe, and Qingpu. In the second year of the Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty (1910), he was placed under the jurisdiction of Qingpu County. Qingpu County originally belonged to Jiangsu Province and was under the jurisdiction of Shanghai in 1958.

The terrain of Liantang Town is lower than other parts of Shanghai. The land is fertile, the climate is humid, and the water network is connected. It is a typical Jiangnan water village. Liantang Town is not large. Because there is a city in the center of the town, and the convenience of ships is convenient, it has long been a collection of rice cities in this area.

The old street of Guzhen District is on both sides of the town, and the bridge across the city is 6 yuan, Ming, and Qing ancient stone bridges. Two slate roads are across the river, and the residential houses on both sides of the street are heavy eaves. The street buildings, Hebutou, promenade, and deep house make the ancient town present a simple, peaceful, and quiet style.

The architectural characteristics of the old houses on both sides of the city and river are in stark comparison: Shangtang Street has two continuous two -story floors. The door is facing the street. In the past, most of them were shops. House, round -headed gables, pink walls Daiwa, along the front door along the river. This layout focuses on the traditional Jiangnan urban style characteristics combined with the commercial markets and river cities in the suburbs of Shanghai. [Wu Yuquan, "Liantang Ancient Town of the Suburban" of "Three Colors"]

In Liantang, the Chen Yun Memorial Hall is a memorial in the system approved by the central government to show Chen Yunsheng Ping's performance. It was opened on June 6, 2000. Here, you can see the performance exhibition of Chen Yunsheng Ping, the old -fashioned recorder accompanied by Chen Yun's decades of revolutionary career, patching clothes, party fees, red flag -brand business vehicles, etc., and you can also visit the Qingpu Revolutionary History Exhibition Essence After walking out of the main hall exhibition hall, you can also see Chen Yun's former residence.

Chen Yun's former residence is located at No. 95 Xiatang Street, Lutang Town. This is an old -fashioned Jiangnan residential house with a brick -wood structure with a total construction area of 95.88 square meters. Chen Yun lost his father at the age of two, lost his mother at the age of 4, was adopted by his uncle's parents, and renamed Liao Chenyun with the surname of his uncle Liao Wenguang. The uncle first took the tailor as the industry. Later, he opened a small hotel in the shop, sold snacks in the evening, and made some small dishes for customers who did business and listening to bullets to eliminate night and earn a little hard money.

His uncle's family was poor, but he tried his best to read. Chen Yun studied in elementary school for two years. In 1916, 11 -year -old Chen Yunchu graduated. At this time, the cousin was born, and the aunt's rheumatism was getting worse and the family was difficult. Chen Yun had to drop out of school at home. Half a year later, with the aunt's subsidiary, Chen Yun came to study abacus and bookkeeping in Qingpu County B Commercial School, and then dropped out of school again due to economic difficulties. However, due to his talents, he basically grasped the abacus for more than a month, and also learned the bookkeeping.

After dropping out of school, Chen Yun was a guy in his uncle's house. In his spare time, he followed his uncle to the Changchun Garden Bookstore, which was only 30 meters away from the family to listen to the bullet. At first, the uncle took him to him, and he often went alone when he was free. He couldn't afford the ticket, and stood on the wall "蹭". After a long time, the story told in the book, he can basically write it down, and he can repeat it to others. Du Hengbo, the principal of Yan'an Primary School, Liaotang Town, is a frequent visitor to the uncle's family tavern. He saw the thin Chen Yun squatting in front of the stove to burn fire and did some hotel miscellaneous services. He talked to him. During the conversation, he found that Chen Yuncong was so good to learn, spitting fluent, and strong memory. He learned that he could not read the book because of his poor family. Chen Yun was able to go to school again. This was the late autumn of 1917, Chen Yun was just 12 years old. In the summer of 1919, Chen Yun graduated from Yan'an Elementary School with excellent results. ["Chen Yun Chuan" (Part 1), Central Literature Publishing House 2005]

However, due to the poor family, Chen Yun was unable to continue his studies. Later, with the help of the class teacher Zhang Xinggong, in December 1919, Chen Yun, 14, went to Shanghai Business Press as an apprentice. Since then, Chen Yun has left the pond and opened a new path of life.

From 6 to 14 years old, Chen Yun lived in his uncle's house for 8 years. Chen Yun's former residence is his uncle's house. The housing house is on the street. There are two small buildings behind the store. The upstairs is Chen Yunzhang's parents' bedroom. The rooms that Chen Yun lived in the house downstairs. There are hundreds of meters next to Chen Yun's former residence and Chen Yunmu School Yan'an Primary School. The gate of the courtyard, the corridor, the photo wall, and the small garden still retain the school pattern of Chen Yun when he was studying.

The predecessor of Yan'an Primary School was Yan'an School, which was founded in the fifteenth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1889). The name "Yan An" originated from one of the seventy -two sages of Confucius. At the age of 17, Wu Zhixi, one of the riots of the small steamed farmers who was sacrificed at the age of 17, and Golson, the first member of the Communist Party of China, had studied at Yanan Elementary School. In addition, Liantang also published a medical study at Tongji University in Shanghai. Later, the Anti -Japanese Shiqiang Qiang, who was written and sacrificed, and sacrificed. The water village Yiyi, the small bridge flowing water, and the scenery of the south of the river, and together with the predecessor's style, have become an irreplaceable humanistic resource for training ponds.
