Today's Wangzhuang can't find the remains of Wang Fu hundreds of years ago, but we can still get a glimpse from the remaining place names. According to Lu, director of Fujian Provincial Museum of Literature and History, as early as 1660, that is, in the seventeenth year of Qing Shunzhi, Geng Jimao was made King of Jingnan and moved from Guangdong to Fujian. Wangzhuang, this place, began to be associated with the word "king".
At that time, Geng Jimao forcibly used a large number of houses and fields as military camps in Fuzhou, and built villas in today's Jiangnan Park to open up places for raising elephants and cranes. Today's elephant garden is the elephant field of Geng Wangzhuang, and its name is still in use today.
The relationship between Geng and Wangzhuang began at 167 1. As one of the three great princes in Qing Dynasty, after his stepfather succeeded to the throne for two years, he began a large-scale campaign to reduce vassals, and Geng was not able to stay out of it. At that time, King Wu Sangui rose up against the Qing Dynasty. In March of the following year, he joined.
The battle ended in the victory of Emperor Kangxi. Birds try to hide their bows. Geng, the king of Jingnan, has died of Fei Ming, and Geng's plaque has also been removed.
Wangzhuang, from then on, lost the glory of "king" and became the home of ordinary people.
In a secluded alley in Wangzhuang, there is still an antique house with a dual structure, and the plaque is hung with "lecture hall scenic spot". Although there is no portrait of Zhu, as long as the word "in front of the lecture hall" is mentioned, there is a story circulating among Wangzhuang people. Zhu taught here in 1 183.
According to Lu, the lecture hall was later protected by the people and a temple was built, which is commonly known as the boundary in Fuzhou. Zhu is also regarded as a god and enshrined in it. Legend has it that there is a plaque inscribed by Zhu in the main hall.
Unfortunately, due to the Cultural Revolution, this plaque no longer exists. With the development of Wangzhuang, the lecture hall has shrunk to a corner. Even though today's area is less than one tenth of that of that year, it still uses dark red tiles, which symbolizes the glory of that year: Wangzhuang was once one of the cultural centers of Fuzhou.
Another pride of Wangzhuang is hand-carved wood. According to "Fuzhou Local Records", this handicraft originated in the Tang and Song Dynasties and reached its peak in Yuan Village, Wangzhuang Township, Qing Dynasty.
Since 1796, wood carvings have appeared in Xiangyuan Village. Artists sculpt people and animals with the natural shapes of tea trees and camphor trees. The most famous one is Ke Zhongchuan, an artist from Xiangyuan Village, who is called "Plastic Buddha Clock".
At the same time, he also accepted an apprentice and spread his craft to a nearby village. So in the Qing Dynasty, three schools centered on Wangzhuang Elephant Garden were formed, namely Elephant Garden School, Yanta School and Osaka School.
After liberation, the first woodcarving cooperative in Fuzhou was established in Wangzhuang on 1956. By 1979, the annual output value of Fuzhou woodcarving has reached one million, which shows the prosperity.
After Geng disappeared, the history of Wangzhuang did not stagnate. According to the local chronicles of Fujian Province, Wangzhuang Airport was built in 1927, but it was bombed repeatedly and eventually became a ruin. On 1948, Fujian Agricultural Experimental Site was moved to Fuzhou, and the abandoned airport site was converted into a test site.
In the 1950s, Wangzhuang was under the jurisdiction of the streets. 1958, with the completion and opening to traffic of "Liu Yi Road", it became the traffic artery leading to the north-south section of the city in Wangzhuang area.
Of course, the name Wangzhuang can still be used today, and it has become easier after many twists and turns. During the Cultural Revolution, it was changed to "Hongsi Village". By the 1970s, four farms had been built around Qianwangzhuang Airport. 1979, "Hongsi Village" resumed the name of Wangzhuang Village.
Now, with the relocation of Wangzhuang, another generation of Wangzhuang people have temporarily left here. But it symbolizes the once brilliant lecture hall and elephant garden, but it will not be renamed because of large-scale construction. After the reconstruction of Xinwangzhuang, the people in Xinwangzhuang brushed away the dust on the nameplate. These three stories will be handed down from generation to generation and belong only to Wangzhuang. Wangzhuang is one of the four old residential areas in Fuzhou, which should be regarded as the first batch of demolition and resettlement houses in Fuzhou. It used to be a large residential area dominated by food stalls. The population density of Wangzhuang is increasing, which naturally forms the first night market in Fuzhou. The prosperity of the night market promotes the development around Wangzhuang. Nobody knows how many people live here. At night, from the head of Changle Road to the tail of Changle Road, the food stalls are always full of people from 7 pm to early morning. Because of life, Wangzhuang is always filled with a prosperous atmosphere.
With the development of Fuzhou city, the original residents of Wangzhuang New Village slowly choose new communities. Wangzhuang's house is either reserved for the elderly, sold to others, or rented to nearby businesses, newly graduated students, migrant workers and so on. In order to survive, Wangzhuang inevitably gives people a dirty feeling.
Wangzhuang is a transition in the process of urbanization in Fuzhou. In the memory of old Fuzhou, there are various cultures and commercial atmosphere here. Although prosperous, it lacks some aristocratic atmosphere. With the expansion and upgrading of Fuzhou, old communities such as Wangzhuang New Village, Yang Xia New Village and Shanghai New Village are showing their old age. Most of the buildings in these old communities are reinforced concrete, which has experienced ups and downs for twenty or thirty years and has a high risk factor. Especially after the 5. 12 Wenchuan earthquake, the renovation of these old communities has become an urgent and thorny issue. High-rise buildings around Wangzhuang New Village have mushroomed, showing some vicissitudes.
The birth of Wangzhuang New Village dates back to 198 1. According to Fuzhou folk imaginary age algorithm, Wangzhuang New Village is already 30 years old, which is the age of people and the twilight of the house.
There are two bicycles for sale under the dilapidated publicity column on the roadside, and a small vendor is selling fruit. Thirty years ago, Wangzhuang New Village was still a farmland. At that time, it coincided with the construction of Wuyi Square, and several villages that originally lived in that area, such as the Ministry of Water, had to move collectively. So there was Wangzhuang New Village. As their new village, 198 1 started construction. That year, Zou Zenghui, a 26-year-old Fuzhou citizen, moved in here. Not long after he got married, the big red happy character on the wall of his ancestral home has not been torn off. He took his wife, family and others from the same village to this new village and moved into a four-story apartment in the second district.
In Zou Zenghui's imagination, the so-called new village is just a strange and fresh residence. Although the ancestral home often leaks rain, it is just a wooden house, but there are too many memories left for him, and he is very reluctant to part with it. There are many old people who have the same idea as him. I have lived my whole life and can't give up.
This reluctance was soon replaced by novelty. What Wangzhuang New Village brings them is a village that is very different from the previous life: each building is five stories high, the outer wall is painted with red paint, there is 2 1 green space in the new village, and there is a park, and the Jin 'an River flows quietly beside it, which is called a mansion along the river.
Zou Zenghui's first daughter was born after staying for a year. Every morning at 7: 30, he spends 10 minutes riding a bike to work near Aofengzhou. My wife went to a morning market near the fourth district of Xincun to buy food. There were rows of vendors, including meat, seafood and fruit, and the price was very low.
In a few years, my daughter can go to school, and the school is in the community. Every day after school, my daughter and classmates go to the park next to the community to play. Although there is no Ferris wheel, stone tables and benches can also add infinite childlike interest.
Throughout the new village, more and more people are staying. By the end of 1989, 292 houses had been built in Wangzhuang New Village with a total population of 35,937.
Zou Zenghui said that especially in the 1990s, the emergence of night markets enriched the nightlife of Wangzhuang. At first, there were only a few stalls with toothbrushes, towels and other daily necessities. Later, it developed into a street. At night, there is a lot of traffic, and people who go shopping shuttle through it. Only Student Street can compete with good business.
In 2000, the joining of food stalls became more lively. After visiting the night market, sit down in any street, have two bottles of beer and some dishes, watch the crowd outside and enjoy life. A wangzhuang has been able to meet all the needs of residents from shopping to entertainment. From a village to a prosperous small city.
Time has brought excitement and prosperity, as well as vicissitudes. In a blink of an eye, my daughter has been married. Zou Zenghui is 55 years old and over half a year old. The beautiful red wall in the community gradually faded away. The steps of the flower bed downstairs began to loosen.
The wires in the new village are intertwined. From downstairs, it looks like a snake hovering overhead, ready to bite. In the early 1990s, the sculpture "Struggle" placed in Xincun to commemorate the seventh consecutive women's volleyball championship was also covered with stains.
Some Wangzhuang people moved out with their families. The others moved in with their families. Today, 55-year-old Zou Zenghui is sitting in Xincun Park and lamenting that he is old. 20 10165438+10/0 The fifth day of the tenth lunar month is the birthday of General Zhu, who is believed by Wangzhuang people. On this day, the birthday banquet was held as usual, just before the relocation of Baishen Pavilion on the edge of the ruins.
On this day, it is the festival of Wangzhuang people. Some of them get up at 5 am and go to the market to buy food. Some people started cooking at 7: 00 in the morning and stayed busy until 8: 00 in the evening. Others rushed to the temple early to help set the table. The park in the second district of Wangzhuang New Village is therefore very lively.
After dinner, there is a wonderful appreciation of Fujian opera. The stage is set in the open space outside Baishen Pavilion, with a length of 10 meter. As soon as the gongs and drums rang, the audience packed the stage. Old people are experienced. They took a chair from home early in the morning, sat down and watched the play comfortably. Children can only climb the tree and look down, and others come from Lianjiang to watch the play.
Wangzhuang people are very rich, and the troupe they hired must be the best. Fuzhou Fujian Opera Troupe is a frequent star troupe. People in Wangzhuang are familiar with these books. For example, Yi Shunge and Chen Shimei deny their wives, and they can hum a few words. The actors are singing in Fuzhou dialect, and the old man at the bottom is crying. Children are more interested in the snacks peddled by vendors. When grandparents are moved to tears, it is easy to get a few yuan to buy food when begging.
Drama on the stage, life off the stage. Chen Shimei finally decided to deny his wife, and Wangzhuang people ate dinner and parted ways. When the banquet is over, the life in Wangzhuang New Village is temporarily over. The overall demolition of dilapidated houses in Wangzhuang New Village, Jin 'an District, Fuzhou began, and the machines roared and the buildings collapsed. Only workers who don't belong here can enter any once closed space from the roof and windowsill.
In a room, there is a big red happy character with a torn corner. There are a pair of dolls in the corner of the room, and the red lanterns hanging on the windowsill are extremely festive. The smell of workers burning garbage outside filled the room, and a couple tied the knot here.
In another room, there is a cartoon pattern on the wall and a circle of colored pencils on the messy floor. It's beautiful. Once there was a little girl who lived here and drew a dream with a pencil 20 years later. She grew up in Wangzhuang New Village and snuggled up to some elderly parents happily. Just like the cities around us, the history of "villages in cities" ends one by one, while the history of "villages in cities" opens one by one. The president of the Dragon Boat Club in Wangzhuang New Village is "Lao Zheng" in the neighborhood. The full name is Zheng Jingxing, aged 63, who lives in Building 1 1 in the second district of Wangzhuang New Village. These two days, he has been rushing for the new Dragon Boat House.
"Now this area is going to be relocated, and so is the Dragon Boat Club." Lao Zheng said that there will be five dragon boats, and the earliest one was built in the 1970s. Because the old dragon boat house is limited in area, it is placed in Dragon Boat Club and Jin 'an River respectively.
After running for a few days, the dragon boat people's "new home" finally took shape: next to Zexu Middle School, the area is about 200 square meters, which is about twice as large.
Lao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He joked that the dragon boat could be separated in two years.
The dragon boat that makes Lao Zheng run around is the treasure in the eyes of Wangzhuang people. Long before moving into Wangzhuang New Village, the dragon boat in Gecheng Village was famous in the city. 1982, married and had children. A clam came to Wangzhuang with five dragon boats on her back, and a new dragon boat house was built next to Building 2 18.
1982 During the Dragon Boat Festival, the first festival was held in Wangzhuang New Village. They held a dragon boat race on the Jin 'an River next to the new village.
Besides Lao Zheng, many neighbors are busy. Women formed a logistics team, and Wang Ying, 48, was one of them. When she moved in, she just got married and became a member of the village. Her husband went to help with shopping early in the morning. She rolled up her sleeves and helped the invited chef boil water to make snacks.
With a gong, a fast dragon rushed out of the river. The denser the drums, the faster the dragon boat paddles. Women and children standing on the shore will chase the dragon boat all the way to the bridge head of Guangming Bridge.
Seeing the dragon boat flying, Lao Zheng was very happy and thought that he must pass on the prestige of the dragon boat.
The following summer, under the organization of Lao Zheng, a group of boys aged 10 in Xincun got together to form a youth team. At 8 o'clock every morning, when the whistle blows, I start running and then go into the water for training. Head coach Lao Zheng has been a coach for nearly 10 years.
In his memory, 1999 is the most unforgettable. That year, the International Dragon Boat Invitational Tournament was held in Guangming Port. The United States, Russia and other countries sent teams to participate, and the claw dragon fleet was one of the participating teams. After the race, they won the 600-meter and 800-meter championships.
That year, it was also the heyday of the whole dragon boat team, and the number of dragon boats alone grew to eight. At that time, the dragon boat houses built by raising funds could not hold so many dragon boats, and some of them had to be placed by the Jin' an River.
In August, Wangzhuang New Village was relocated. He moved to the nearby lotus garden to live with his daughter, and the people who rowed dragon boats together moved away one after another. After moving away, he has always had a wish: two years later, everyone can come back here and carry the dragon boat down the Jin' an River together.
At present, the new Dragon Boat Pavilion has been basically selected, and it will be called Bangcheng Dragon Boat Club in the future. Wangzhuang people also know which building their new home will be in. Their home is called Xinwangzhuang. Lao Zheng's wish will come true in a few years.
At that time, the old Wangzhuang people will come back here again, and the new Wangzhuang people will join in. They will carry the dragon boat with Lao Zheng and go down the Jin 'an River.
By then, the sound of gongs and drums will remain the same and the dragon boat will go hand in hand. By chance, I lived in Wangzhuang New Village for thirty years. Lin Jian grew from an ignorant teenager to a handsome young man, but so many memories are hard to forget, recording the good times that passed away and never coming back. Time is so cruel that it took me 30 years.
The former Wangzhuang will gradually disappear in the rumble of bulldozers. Apart from Mori Yoshiro, which is engraved in my mind, I want to record those fragments with light and shadow.
Wangzhuang New Village, which was founded in 1980s, is said to be the first new village in Fuzhou at that time.
For more than 30 years, the buildings in the new village have been dilapidated, because they are all brick structures, and some old houses have been dilapidated into dangerous houses.
This demolition involves more than half of the buildings, and it is only a matter of time before Ledong, Guiyuan, Xingyuan, Juyuan and Meiyuan in Wangzhuang New Village are included in the scope of demolition.
In the corner of the community shaded by bougainvillea, it is rare to have such beautiful scenery in the dilapidated community. Warm and beautiful scenery, leisurely life in the afternoon. Shade, Guiyuan community greening is good.
The bougainvillea in Nanhu Park of Wangzhuang New Village is in full bloom all year round, which is a good place for the elderly and children to rest.
Meiyuan community has a large floating population. Because there is no special public information bulletin board, you can often see rental information on walls and door panels. Tree-lined, people go to the empty old Wangzhuang, but the new Wangzhuang will be better. Such kind lines and noodles have returned to the countryside in a trance.
Convenient cake shop next to Xingyuan Community. Buy one when you are hungry. It tastes good.
Lazy cats hide in the grocery box to bask in the sun, and they are too lazy to start when they meet customers.
The government pays attention to people's livelihood fitness equipment, and the people are a good place for fitness.
In the corner of Guiyuan Community, the greening is still very good and the air is fresh.
Many Wangzhuang residents have moved out, most of them are rented houses, old houses and old people, living under clear skies.
There are some flowers and plants on the balcony of almost every household in Wangzhuang New Village. Most of the new villages in Wangzhuang are brick structures, and the old houses are too old to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes. So most people moved out in this demolition. Although they have lived in the old house for more than 20 years, the new Wangzhuang will be beautiful, and the people are looking forward to the day when they live in their new house.
The famous Wangzhuang food stall, when you are tired from work, take a rest and keep arguing until midnight.
On the roadside of the demolition site, there is a statue of a girl named "Fighting". What is its origin? Some citizens called to "decrypt" and finally learned that this statue was built in the summer of 1986 to commemorate the five consecutive championships of China women's volleyball team.
"This girl is playing volleyball, and her right hand is a spike." At that time, my home was in Wangzhuang New Village. Recall that the statue should be 1986 "I made it when I was still in junior high school."
Speaking of the construction background of the statue, from 1982 to 1986, China women's volleyball team achieved' five consecutive championships', and the whole country set off a wave of learning women's volleyball bravely. "It is in this atmosphere that this statue was built by the sub-district office. At that time, China had two Fujian women's volleyball players, Hou Yuzhu and Zheng Meizhu. The "double beads" of the women's volleyball team are well known, and this statue is based on them.
The statue that stood in the center of the park more than 20 years ago is now abandoned on the edge of the construction site. "I feel a little sick!" It is suggested to protect the statue. "It can be placed in the South Park of Minjiang Park, and then we can introduce the story behind that era and the statue to the next generation."
