Under the big tree, listen to Guzai ｜ ｜ The landmarks of the past were surrounded by the Pearl River, and the century -old wave building hidden ancient camphor

At the age of 133, among the ancient trees in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, this camphor tree located in the No. 3 Bogou can only be regarded as a small character. However, it is destined to be extraordinary. The Bolou is the sixth batch of cultural relics protection units in Guangzhou. As early as ten years ago, the reporter had been visited by Zhizhuzui.

Strictly speaking, the wave building is not just a building, but a courtyard, named after the meteorological signal table of almost the same age as the camphor tree. The signal table will hang a wind ball signal, and Guangzhou people are used to use the "ball" English transliteration (Ball) to call it, so it is called "wave platform". In the red building in the courtyard, the old name was "Guangdong Customs Club", which was later called "Bo Tower". More than 100 years ago, this magnificent building was a landmark of "Henan" (south bank of the Pearl River), which carried the pain history of the loss of customs sovereignty in modern times.

The camphor tree of the Bobo Tower has witnessed the changes from Guangzhou to the national central cities since the late Qing Dynasty, and the changes in people's livelihood under the big tree. "Compared with more than ten years ago, the surrounding environment is better now, and the days in the neighborhood are good." Tan Meijin, who lived 37 years, said here for 37 years.

Camphor tree

Wave building

The late Qing Dynasty was a club

If you come for the first time, it is not easy to find this ancient camphor tree. Even if there is a guidance of navigation software, you may miss it without paying attention. In fact, it is only tens of meters away from the Pearl River, and it is hidden behind the tall building on the front line of Linjiang. Before these high -rise buildings, the buildings of the wave building were the landmark of "Henan" in Guangzhou.

Find the Old Arch of the Bobo Building, which is the Bodoli Courtyard. You can see this century -old camphor tree. Compared with the old photos of a century ago, there are several residential buildings in the courtyard. "I moved here in 1985, first lived in the public house on the first floor of the Bolou, and later changed to the residential building in the north. I haven't left the Bodoli courtyard in 37 years. The neighborhood is familiar." , This camphor tree witnesses the daily drips in the courtyard.

Wave building

The north side of the camphor tree is a large western -style building. The outer wall of the red and yellow looks vicissitudes and charm against the camphor's branches and leaves. This building is a mixed structure, and its volume is quite large in the construction of the late Qing Dynasty and the magnificent momentum. Later, Guangzhou people used to call it "wave building".

The founded stone in the corner is "November 28th 1908" (November 28, 1908) in English. It can be seen from the old photos that more than 100 years ago, the north of the Polish Tower was the beach coating on the shore of the Pearl River, and the ship stopped under the wave floor. It was the most spectacular building on the south bank of the Pearl River at the time, and the meteorological platform was the highest building. The bottom floor is a cargo inspection factory, the upstairs is the club, and the rest is the dormitory. It was originally for single foreign officers to live. At that time, there was no towering camphor tree in the photos at that time -at that time, it was still very young, based on the wave building and the meteorological signal table.

Camphor set up between the wave building and the meteorological signal table

Many citizens may ask: "Zhoutouzui is not a concession. Why does it built such a scale here in the late Qing Dynasty?" In fact, behind this is the humiliation of the Qing government lost customs sovereignty.

After the Qing government failed in the first Opium War, the British government pressed the tariffs in the transmission of goods to "five hundred%) (5%) with a series of unequal treaties, and the dumping goods and plunder of China with extremely low tariffs and plunder Raw materials. After the signing of the "Maguan Treaty", which was funeral and humiliated, the Qing government completely lost the management of customs. The Qing government used the income of Chinese customs as a guarantee, borrowed from the United Kingdom and Germany, and during the loan repayment, the British served as the highest leadership of the Chinese customs -the General Taxation Department. In this way, the leadership of Chinese Customs was taken away by the British.

After the British Li Thailand seized the position of the General Taxation Department, the Qing government originally set up the Qing government at the Yue Customs Supervision Department of Wuxian Gate (now the west side of Haizhu Plaza) to revoke the Gate of the Gate of the Yue Customs Supervision Department. It is managed by its tax department, and the main positions of the customs are held by the British, thereby fully controlling the Guangdong Customs.

Since then, due to the large number of people in the Guan Nei and foreign countries, they need to set up a place for them to play, so the planner fancy the Dutouzui on the south bank of the Pearl River, and in 1910, it was built here to decorate luxuriously, perfect facilities. Later "Club.

The memories article of "History and History of Haizhu" states: "There are living rooms, fireplaces, restaurants, dining rooms, ballrooms, libraries, tables, marble rooms in the wave building ... Come here, fold at high prices, be bear from China. " After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people's government took over the Guangdong Customs and changed its name to "Guangzhou Customs" to end the history of foreigners dominating Chinese customs. At the same time, the Bolou has also become a customs employee dormitory. At different ages, employees have moved to the Bodoli Courtyard. As the beach coated becomes land, more residential buildings have been built in the Bogou Courtyard. However, no matter how the house was repaired, the camphor tree was eventually reserved, so it was well retained.

Wave table

Detect the Skywalter Quartet

Now in the Bo Lou Courtyard, you can see the lush branches and leaves of the camphor tree. You can see the ancient weather signal table of tens of meters high. For a long time, it is the highest building on the Pearl River. Three of the four supportive corners of the signal table steel frame base are closely attached to the houses built around it.

Chen Deqi, who lives in the house, recalled that he had been here for more than 50 years. He was a captain of the maritime supervisor ship. "The ships driving on the Pearl River at that time depends on the signal issued by this signal station, which can be seen from a distance." In recent decades, higher buildings have been built in front of the wave building. It's right. Chen Deqi said that there was a circular building on the top of the meteorological signal table, and the signalant commanded the ships and the weather news in the river here. Later, it was removed, leaving only the current framework.

Bogou Courtyard

The Touzuzui where the Bobo is located is at the intersection of the Sanjiang. The century -old meteorological signal table was called "wave platform" in the past. The earliest weather forecast signal constructed by Guangdong Customs for the merchant ship was named after the signal table was hanging on the signal table. It was originally a wooden structure signal table. Before 1885, it was inferred by this time. After the wave platform was built, the camphor tree was planted next to it.

The waves were destroyed by typhoons in 1908, and the steel frame structure was switched when rebuilt in 1910. According to legend, 8000 silver consumption is built. At that time, it shouldered two tasks: first, communication command, and directing the navigation and mooring of the past Pearl River ships through the Magis symbol lights and signal flags on the watch platform; the other was the storm warning. The wind rises with different colors of signals to inform people of the number of winds. This is also the earliest meteorological platform to hang the wind ball signal in Guangzhou.

At that time, there was no cover of other buildings. From here, the tiger door of the Pearl River Estuary was overlooking the farthest telescope. People in Guangzhou are accustomed to calling the sea, and the nearby alleys are also named after "Hai Tian Four Hope".

Nanhua West Street

It can be seen from the old street signs in the Bobo Building that in the early years, it belonged to Hongde Street. As the streets were withdrawn, it was merged into South Huaxi Street. The construction of spiritual civilization is a good tradition of Nanhua West Street. The reporter also felt a strong neighborhood to help the friendship here in the Bobo Building. Auntie Jin and Chen Deqi were just a neighborhood that had been facing each other. After learning that the elderly lived alone and the children could not visit often, Auntie Jin went to visit the old man from time to time. "I have a heart! I am attentive!" Chen Deqi said thanked.

Auntie Jin told reporters that the environment of the community is getting better and better, neat and clean, mutually helpful and friendly, and have a strong sense of happiness. "Compared with more than ten years ago, the surrounding environment is better now, and the days in the neighborhood are good." Centennial camphor tree witnessed the changes in the people's livelihood in this courtyard.
