Dongming Cottage

"Dongming" is Fan Qin's self-number. "Caotang" can not be interpreted literally, and "Qingfen", this is also the cultural code used by the ancients, generally refers to the cultural man's study hall. Fan Qin should have been forced to "return to listen to the survey" in the winter of Jiajing 39 years due to obituary, and the birth of Tianyi Pavilion began after he returned to his hometown. "Dongming Caotang" was the place before Tianyi Pavilion, where Fan Qin was originally used to store books. It is not too much to call it the prelude to the Tianyi Pavilion. After the Tianyi Pavilion was built, the Dongming Caotang became the owner's living room. Today, through archaeological and documented means, we can roughly speculate on the appearance of Fan Qinsimadi's most prosperous period: the entire Fans Simadi range north to Sanbanqiao Street, the south to Sima Ditaimen and Fans Yuwu, west to today's Yige Square, east to Baoshulou west side fire lane, The Tianyi Pavilion is located in an area that is extended from Simadi to the southeast (Wenchang position) of the rectangular Simadi. Simadi has three columns of buildings from west to east, and the westmost column is probably outside the west gate of Tianyi Pavilion. There is no trace of it today. The easternmost column of the south side of the former residence of Fan; the middle column of the building was only left outside the wall before the 1980s, and the "Dongming Caotang" was the first entry of the middle column of the building, after the Tianyi Pavilion replaced its library function, the role was mainly to meet guests.

Dongming Caotang, after entering the Tianyi Pavilion, took the lead to see this inconspicuous small courtyard, compared to other monuments in the Tianyi Pavilion, it is really small and low-key, but it is the predecessor of the Tianyi Pavilion. Speaking of, Dongming Caotang is the earliest private collection of books in China, and Tianyi Pavilion has evolved from Dongming Caotang.

Dongming Caotang is in Yuehu Park near the Tianyi Pavilion (Ningbo) complex. We can't wait to visit when we get off the plane. It is very pleasant to go around and feel the historical and cultural atmosphere. There is a free library now, why do you collect books? !

The library of Fan Qin before the completion of the Dongming Caotang Department Tianyi Pavilion. Fan Qin, the word Yuqin, Dongming, so the self-titled library is "Dongming Caotang" (Dongming Caotang is now the architectural department of 1980 reconstruction), as part of the Tianyi Pavilion, can also be said to be the predecessor of the Tianyi Pavilion. Fan Qin's Sexual Happiness collection, during the period of officialship in various places, every place, special attention to search for visits to collect local literature. Fan Qin attaches great importance to the works of contemporary people, and the collection is mainly inscribed. He has a fellow friend Fengfang, also a collector, and the two have a close relationship. After Fengfang's library unfortunately suffered a fire, Fengfang was deeply hit, and the book collection was discouraged, and the rest of the life after the robbery was given to Fan Qin. These books were collected by Fan Qin in Dongming Caotang, and more and more books were collected. Dongming Caotang could not accommodate them. Fan Qin decided to rebuild a book building on the east side of the residence, which was later known as Tianyi Pavilion.

Fan Qin's study really left a lot of precious materials for our history and culture. It is difficult to imagine that for so many years, generations of waiting, this spirit is really too admirable, very sorry.
