Xin 'an Ancient City, also known as Nantou Ancient City, is located in the north of Nantou Overpass in Nanshan District, covering an area of about 70,000 square meters. It is the largest historical relic tourist attraction in Shenzhen, with a long history of 1 730 years. Since the Jin Dynasty, Hong Kong, Macau, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Dongguan and other places have long been under the jurisdiction of the ancient city of Nantou. Dongguan Guild Hall, located at No.81,Zhongshan South Street, Nantou Ancient City, is the only club building preserved in Shenzhen. As early as June 1984, it was listed as "Shenzhen Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit" by the Shenzhen Municipal Government. The existing furniture with noble taste and elegant interior furnishings can be regarded as one of the highlights of economic and cultural prosperity in the past. There are 1 1 Dongguan clubs in China.

The colorful walls are covered with moss on granite, and everything shows traces of time. A reporter from Du Nan recently visited the Dongguan Guild Hall in the ancient city of Nantou. What you see is the four characters "Dongguan Guild Hall". I saw the door of the hall slightly open, and from time to time, adults and children passing by looked curiously inward. The hall building is a traditional quadrangle layout, which consists of doors, stages, temples, halls, wings and courtyards, mainly residential buildings and tubular buildings. Among them, there is a small door between the viewing hall and the hall, and the furniture of that year is placed in the wing room, including an ancient exquisite telephone, a blue-and-white hexagonal porcelain teapot, a double-door wardrobe and a full set of tables and chairs.

Walking into the middle of the yard, you can see a grass growing above the corner. On one side of the courtyard, there is a porcelain basin with a diameter of about 1 m. The basin is full of clear water, just spitting out a touch of turquoise, which has a unique artistic conception of "Xiao He only shows sharp corners". According to Zhang, director of the Group Industry Department of Nantou Ancient City Museum, there are 1 1 Dongguan Guilds in China, which are located in Beijing, Suzhou, Lianxian County, Guangdong Province, Nanning, Guangxi and other places. One in the ancient city was established in the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868), also known as the "security department", with 65,438+.

There was a time when people came and went.

In the exhibition hall of Dongguan Guild Hall, you can see "China Ming and Qing Guild Hall Exhibition". From more than 80 existing clubs in China, representative buildings are extracted and displayed in the form of pictures, including Shantou Dabu Club, Foshan Qionghua Club and Yingde Guangzhou Club. According to reports, most of the China Clubs are regional organizations established by local flavor ties, and a few are trade-oriented organizations. In the sixth year of Jin Xianhe (33 1), Dongguan County was established, which governed six counties: Baoan, Xingning, Haifeng, Haiyang and Haining. The southern end has developed from the salt policy center since the Han Dynasty into the political, economic and cultural center of a county, which is both the seat of county governance and the seat of county governance. In the second year of Tang Zhide (757), "Dongguan" was changed to "Dongguan". During the Song and Ming Dynasties, it became more and more important and became an important stop on the Maritime Silk Road. All foreign fleets and merchant ships from various countries docked here, and Dongguan Guild Hall was the chamber of commerce at that time.

The walls and floors of Dongguan Guild Hall have been rebuilt, especially the "floor" originally made of red bricks in the Guild Hall, which has now been completely rebuilt. The words "rebuild the office" are engraved on the cement board of the courtyard wall, and the name of the donor is engraved below. "At present, these ancient cultural relics are seriously damaged, and the ancient city is being protected and rectified. The design scheme and scheme have yet to be demonstrated by experts and approved by the government. " Nantou Ancient City has become a political, economic and cultural center since the county was established in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it is also the beginning of Shenzhen's urban history. It was only in the Tang Dynasty that the county seat was moved to Dongguan for a period of time, and it was restored in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Nantou people were very busy, and Dongguan businessmen often settled here. This was the famous chamber of commerce at that time.
