Re: Zhang Weizheng, the restorer and successor of the old Ji'nan culture.
tell Ji'nan story
at that time, Zhang Weizheng often followed grandpa to the old town, and listened to the old man telling a lot of stories about old Ji'nan. From the five Longtan one swallowed the whole carp of the whole steamed bread, the big carp and the lotus root of the great Daming Lake special product from the Jiangjia pool (also known as the sky mirror spring) are famous for the Shandong cuisine and carp, to the "Li Quan" in the west of Jiang Jia Chi street. The beautiful scenery and characteristic folk custom of the "cool and Jiangnan" spring is deeply engraved in Zhang Weizheng's heart.
in 2008, the restoration of Daming Lake New Area was built in the Yuan Dynasty. Zhang Weizheng participated in the sculpture of the building and the exhibits. To visit the magnificent detached building, people are impressed by the "Jiangbei first wood carving" which is up to 8 meters in the building - the spring city roam and eight landscape Woodcarving in Ji'nan. It is 8 meters high, 5 meters wide and 16 centimeters thick, with a view to the southeast corner of Ji'nan, looking up, Qianfo Hill, Baotu Spring, the black tiger spring, hibiscus street, the five Longtan, the Daming Lake, the distant Huashan and so on. The area of 40 square meters brings together the key places of the old city and the city in Ji'nan. Lifelike, distinct level. Zhang Weizheng said that he not only participated in the design, but also arrived at the "town of woodcarving" in Dongyang, Zhejiang, and finished the carving with the master of wood carving.
in the same year, Zhang Weizheng began to take part in the protection and development of Ji'nan's Old City Ming Fu city. "Ming Fu city is a place I used to play when I was little, and I was very excited to take part in the protection of Ming Fu city. I particularly hope to restore the old Ji'nan customs. Zhang Weizheng said that in his mind, the old city of Ji'nan is an elegant and secluded City, especially suitable for literati and elegant people. Ji'nan old city dwellings are very small, although not majestic, but do not have a taste of these old houses are not all sitting in the north, the north and south open the door, all because of the construction, no matter the north and south open to the scenery are beautiful. He said he wanted to find old artisans to be responsible for the restoration of Ming Fu city. Carpenter, tile worker, painter, paint worker... It is best to inherit the old skills of the Imperial Palace and Confucian Temple. After the restoration of the old house, Zhang Weizheng suggested that he could reasonably operate or open the exhibition, so that the old buildings could be full of vitality.
for the cultural heritage of the old city, he does not advocate the entry point of "tall and tall". He said, Ming Fu city is not a large area, famous springs, celebrities, allusions and legends are numerous. A Jiangxi guild hall can tell a long story. "As my grandfather told me to listen to, I would like to tell the story of those characters and buildings in the old city of Ji'nan to the tourists and to the younger generation." Zhang Weizheng said that the restoration of the old city is a precious wealth for the children and grandchildren, and the heritage of history and culture is a good memory for the children and grandchildren, which is the responsibility of every Jinan.
