The magnificent ancestral temple in Zu Dashou

There is a stop called Zujia Street at the junction of Bus No.7 and Zhao Road and Ping 'an Street. On today's map of this area, this place name can't be found, and it has been replaced by "Guo Fu Street". However, the best reputation of nearby residents is "Zujia Street".

It is called "Zujia Street" because there is a Zu Dashou Temple in the north of this street, which is now the No.3 Middle School in Beijing. Zu Dashou, a native of Liaodong, was a Qingming general. He was a warrior in the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing dynasty, he was highly valued by Huang taiji and personally awarded him as the company commander, belonging to the yellow flag of the Han army. After entering the customs in Qing Dynasty, Zu Dashou settled in Xichengqiao Hutong (now Zujia Street). Zu Dashou lived here for 12 years and died in the 13th year of Shunzhi. It was converted into a ancestral temple. Eight Banners Official School and Zhenghuangqi Official School were established here in the eighth year of Yongzheng (1730), and rebuilt in the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong (1769). Zu Dashou Temple is now a key cultural relic protection unit in Beijing.

The ancestral hall faces south, with a pair of framed stones outside. There are 5 north rooms (main halls) in the front yard, 5 east-west rooms 1, 5 north rooms (back bedrooms) in the backyard, 2 east-west rooms and 3 east-west rooms. Between the front yard and the back yard, there is a hanging flower door, which has great regulation, ingenious design and beautiful shape. This hanging flower gate is one of the best in the hanging flower gate of Beijing Siheyuan. The two arches at the gate are beautifully carved and magnificent. The main hall of the ancestral hall is well preserved, and now the school has set up a two-way closed-circuit studio and monitoring system here.

Today's No.3 Middle School teaching building is located in Zujia Garden, which belongs to the typical layout of bureaucratic residence in Qing Dynasty. The division of No.3 middle school campus is in line with the layout design of Beijing quadrangles. The quadrangle is separated from the garden, and the third middle school juxtaposes the traditional ancestral hall with the brand-new teaching area, so that students can not only receive a good education in the modern teaching environment, but also be influenced by the ancient cultural atmosphere in the ancient ancestral hall.

School background: right-wing religious studies

Beijing No.3 Middle School is a school with a long history. By June 65438+10 this year, the school has a history of 280 years. Its predecessor was a right-wing religious school established in the second year of Qing Yongzheng (1724), located in Xiaoshihu Hutong, Xidan. Cao Xueqin worked in the right-wing religion for ten years, and conceived a Dream of Red Mansions here. 1902, the right-wing religious school was changed to the Eight Banners Right-wing Middle School. After the Revolution of 1911, it was changed to "Shi Jing Public Third Middle School" and moved to Zujia Street. People's artist Lao She 19 13 studied here. Mr Lao She was admitted to No.3 Middle School in the second year. 1950 10 The school was changed to Beijing No.3 Middle School.

Today, Beijing No.3 Middle School is a large-scale ordinary complete middle school. Teachers and students specially set up exhibition rooms for outstanding alumni such as Cao Xueqin and Lao She to record their life trajectories and their past origins with No.3 Middle School.

"School employee" Cao Xueqin

Entering the newly completed Cao Xueqin showroom this year, a portrait of Cao Xueqin reading by candlelight at night is novel and unique against the dim background light. The exhibition hall is divided into four parts: Cao Xueqin and right-wing religion, Cao Xueqin's family background, Cao Xueqin's life and Cao Xueqin and a dream of red mansions. In addition to the text description and picture introduction, there are various versions of A Dream of Red Mansions and The Story of the Stone, as well as imitation letters between the Cao family and the court. In order to make the showroom authentic, they also specially visited Zhou, an expert in A Dream of Red Mansions, and asked him to research Cao Xueqin and Shi Hu, the birthplace of No.3 Middle School, and found this "Shi Hu" from the warehouse of Beijing Cultural Relics Bureau, and put it in a corner of the showroom after purchase. People learned a little-known history from Shi Hu's locked eyes.

Laoshe's classroom

Laoshe showroom was established in 1995 by No.3 Middle School with the support of Ms. Hu Jieqing. The room used in the showroom is Lao She's classroom. Hu Lao personally took the children to cut the ribbon for the exhibition hall and provided a lot of precious photos. In the exhibition room, there are collections of Lao She's works and letters before his death, which introduce Lao She's tortuous and legendary life in detail.

A marble tablet in the exhibition hall reads "Mr. Lao She passed away". The original tablet of this stone tablet was searched for a long time by Lao She's descendants, and I don't know where it is. The teacher in No.3 Middle School was very thoughtful and copied one and put it in the exhibition hall as a souvenir.

No.3 middle school is underground and rich in cultural relics.

In the Third Intermediate People's Court, underground cultural relics are constantly unearthed. There is an epitaph in the atrium of the ancestral temple, which was unearthed 8 meters underground when the swimming pool was built in No.3 Middle School in 2006, and there is also a Tang brick unearthed. According to the inscription, a lay man named Wang, whose ancestral home is Taiyuan, was buried here. Due to the negligence of the construction unit, the forklift smashed the epitaph during excavation, and the third middle school stuck it with the Tang brick and erected it in the courtyard.
