Yang Sisheng (185 1 ~ 1908), whose name is Jin Chun, is from Qingdun. He lost his parents when he was young. At the age of thirteen, he went to Shanghai in a poor family and studied bricklaying. During Guangxu period, Shanghai Jianghai Beiguan built a special department. Because of its novel style, many craftsmen are ashamed, but no one dares to accept it, and the four saints deal with it alone. After the completion of the project, it was greatly respected by westerners, so the business grew bigger and the family became richer. Since I regretted dropping out of school, I started a school in the ancestral hall and donated money to the start-up expenses of Tang Yuan School and Chuansha Primary School. In the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), Huang Yanpei, Zhang, and Ci Ying, the deputy envoys of Nanyi, were urged to establish bright primary school in Xinma Road, a Shanghai public concession, and set up a teacher training center. Immediately, he bought land in the south of Liuliqiao in Pudong, built Pudong Middle School, saved122,000 yuan, and donated more than 202,000 yuan in tuition fees. In the autumn of 30 years, a large number of people and animals drowned on the seashore, and 3 thousand yuan was donated again; He also raised funds from his peers, totaling 30 thousand yuan, to pay for the construction of seawalls, to work for the relief, but not to live in its name. It is suggested that more than 20,000 yuan should be raised to establish Shanghai Water Wood Office and Water Wood Primary School. Shanghai and Hangzhou will borrow foreign debts to build roads, and local people will strive for self-reliance. They will spend thousands of dollars to buy road shares and persuade their peers to subscribe, and they can get tens of thousands of shares at once. When Pudong Middle School was built, for the convenience of pedestrians, a stone road with a length of more than 2,800 feet was built from the South Pier to Aijiafen. There are also gentry and directors in Pudong who proposed to build roads, set up a railway administration, and donate money to fill the fees. Public opinion is boiling, gathering thousands of people, destroying the bureau and demolishing houses, and several disasters. When Sisheng was recovering from illness, he heard the police coming and went to help the sick, but he didn't say anything. When everyone dispersed, he went on strike to donate money, and the donation fee was raised by the company. And raised funds from peers to build a stone road more than ten miles long from Yang Jing to Lujiadu. He also donated 5,000 yuan for the construction of Shanghai Hospital and 6,000 yuan for the reconstruction of Yanjiaqiao. It is even more difficult to count all donations to education and charity. Yanjia Bridge is made of Saemund soil (now cement) with steel as the bone. Its material structure is the first building in China. Sisheng is ingenious and personally supervises the work. He passed away a month ago. Everyone admires Yang Sisheng's deeds of ruining his family and promoting his studies. Tang Jingzui of Qing Academy visited Shanghai in the autumn of Bingwu (1906) and presented a plaque for the imperial court to reward. When the Ministry awarded meritorious service and title, Yang thanked him and then disappeared, which showed his noble spirit. In his second year in Xuan Tong (19 10), Cheng Dequan, governor of Xuan Tong, won another special performance award. The following year, he was awarded the title of Ambassador of Salt Transportation, and declared to pay the biography of the National History Museum. At the beginning of the Republic of China, the local people cast a bronze statue in Pudong Middle School as a permanent memorial. During the "ten years of turmoil", it was like being destroyed. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, the statue was recast and still stands in Pudong Middle School.

A Record of Shanghai Construction, Yang Si Rumors (Trial Draft)

Yang Sisheng (185 1 ~ 1908), nicknamed Amao, was born in Yangjiazhai, Qingdun, Chuansha County (now Cailu Township). My parents died young and my family was poor. At the age of thirteen, I went to Shanghai to learn masons' skills. He has been engaged in the building work of customs and western houses and is familiar with modern western building technology. He can speak English, and he knows many people in Europe and America, especially Amorth, a large class of fair foreign firm in Britain, and has built a silk reeling factory for him to accumulate capital. 1880, Yang Ruitai Workshop, the first capitalist workshop in Shanghai's modern architectural history, was established.

Yang Yiying is famous for his clever thinking. At that time, there were a batch of window panes imported from abroad on the market. Because the size is smaller than the general window frame design, no one wants it. Yang bought it all at a low price, and set a circle of wooden edges around the glass, all of which were used in residential projects and were greatly welcomed by the owners. Yang is enthusiastic about helping his peers and is respected by them. Wang Construction Factory built the first brick-wood building hotel with elevator in Shanghai (now the South Building of Peace Hotel). The construction is difficult. Yang Weiwang guaranteed to help him solve the technical problem of foundation inclination. 189 1 year, the British concession authorities planned to rebuild the temple-like old customs. New Guan Hai is a three-story building with a bell tower at the top and a hot water pavilion inside. It was the largest and newest western-style house at that time. After the news of attracting investment was announced, all peers dared not respond. Yang responded to the tender alone and carefully constructed it. It was completed on 1893 and caused a sensation in Shanghai. British businessman Elde Foreign Firm hired him as the head of the proofing room (architectural design).

1894- 1895, yang presided over the reconstruction of lubantang, 1898 set up the industrial office and took the lead in donating money, but it was not completed because of different opinions from peers. 1906, colleagues were invited again, and CCBA aims such as "setting rules for colleagues and resolving disputes" and "giving medicine and offering coffins" were put forward, and educator Huang Yanpei was invited to give a speech at the meeting, with the intention of setting up primary schools and apprentice schools under CCBA and cultivating architectural talents. Will make a big fuss about asthma, vomiting blood while breathing, and the industry is greatly moved. The start-up cost of integration is 20,000 yuan. On March 28th, 1908, Yang was recommended as the leading director of the industrial corporation.

Yang is enthusiastic about education. 1903 In March, he donated money to help Huang Yanpei build Chuansha Primary School, and they became friends. In June of the same year, Huang was arrested by Nanhui County Order of the Qing government for advocating democratic ideas. Use huge sums of money to rescue Huang from prison and fund Huang to take refuge. 1905, Yang also paid to bury Zou Rong, a bourgeois revolutionary who died in prison. Under the influence of saving the country through education, Yang Yu 1904 founded bright primary school and Guangming Normal Workshop on Meibaike Road (now Xinchang Road) in the public concession. The following year, a school building was built on 64 mu of land in Liuliqiao, Pudong, and 1907 was completed. It was named "Private Pudong Middle School" and donated more than 200,000 yuan, almost all of which were spent. People call it "destroying the family to promote learning". "The situation is slightly the same as Wu Xun, but the donation is more than ten times, and the result is far better." Officials in charge of education in Jiangsu Province visited Pudong Middle School and invited awards. Yang smiled and said, "What is the reason for running a school?" Let Huang Yanpei be polite. Thank you.

Yang is enthusiastic about social welfare undertakings. At that time, some land occupiers in Pudong area, under the temptation of usury, competed with foreign investors for land sales and gradually entered the mainland along Puyang stack. People of insight take road construction as the boundary and restrict foreign businessmen from going deep. Local officials of the Qing government actually increased ferry donations in the name of road construction, which aroused public anger. Yang immediately negotiated to stop the donation, and built a road from Lujiadu, which was more than ten miles long and cost nearly ten thousand yuan. They were all raised by their peers and didn't take a penny from the villagers. 1905 donated huge sums of money to build Chuansha seawall. The Qing government intended to praise it, and Yang thanked it again.

The Yan Jia Bridge in Pudong is sinking, which brings inconvenience to pedestrians. At this time, Yang was seriously ill and still contributed 6000 yuan to help build it. This bridge is built with cement just introduced into Shanghai, but its skeleton is steel. Yang insisted on going to the construction site to direct every day, and finally died at the age of 571April 30, 908. The next day, Shen Bao published the news with the title of "the death of a great industrial man". After Yang's death, the Qing government awarded the titles of Hualing Yuntong and Yanyun Ambassador, and gave four officials and the plaque of "Imperial Seal", which was included in the Draft of Qing History. After the Revolution of 1911, Li, Yuan Shikai successively ordered a bronze statue of Yang to be cast in the name of the president and placed in the campus of Pudong Middle School.

During his management of the construction factory, Yang trained a group of elite students, such as Gu Lanzhou (later opened Gu Lanji Construction Factory), Zhao Zengtao (later opened Zhao Xinji Construction Factory) and Zhang Laitang (later opened Lanji Construction Factory). They formed the "Pudong Gang" which plays an important role in Shanghai's construction industry, making Chuansha, Pudong a gathering place for Shanghai's architectural talents.
