"Lanxi Club" in Wu Outing

On the evening of September 18, the official account of Jinhua local chronicler WeChat published Ye Jia's article "Lanxi Hall in Jiaxing in the Late Qing Dynasty", which revealed the whole process of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's speech in Lanxi Hall in Jiaxing in 19 12 (the first year of the Republic of China) and the news that the local government in Jiaxing was rebuilding the hall at present, which triggered a discussion in the literary and historical circles. According to the information provided by Cai Yuxin, president of the seminar, and Hu Xiao, a group friend, Jiaxing Lanxi Club was initiated by Hu Zhikui, owner of Ye Feng Ham Restaurant in Lanxi, Jiaxing, and was jointly established by Lanxi ham merchants. The original site was near Xihe Street outside the East Gate of Jiaxing at that time, and "Ye Feng Ham Village" was also on Xihe Street. Lanxi ham merchants in Wo hold a meeting in the guild hall every winter. After the meeting, they went to northern Jiangsu to buy fresh legs and salted ham. Lanxi Guild Hall was built in Nanzao Merchants in Helanxi, which is different from Ye Wen's theory. Another contemporary poet, scholar of literature and history, painter, edition cataloger and Jiahe native Wu Outing (19 13 ~ 2005) also recorded this, with the title "Lanxi Hall", which is completely recorded as follows.

Lanxi club

Be a guest from Lanzhou (Hengjiang) and rule out Jingzhen under Chunbo Bridge. I once saw Gao Qiang, where there were great people.

The "Guild Hall" of that year was equivalent to the later "Hometown Association". In Jiaxing, there are gatherings in Guangdong Guild Hall on Xihe Street, Siming CCBA under Qiujing Bridge, Shaoxing Guild Hall on Youli Street and Xin 'an Guild Hall on the south lake. The "Lanxi Hall" in the north of Chunbo Bridge is small in scale. Just like the "Jiangxi Guild Hall" in Daluobei, there is a stage in front of Guandi Temple, which is used for acting at the gathering of fellow villagers. The "Guild Hall" is dedicated to Guan Yu, the pavilion of Han Shou. At that time, for the loyalty of the rivers and lakes, "I am Lulu" has been a great achievement for hundreds of years. It's really a good time to take a walk in Maicheng. Where can I think of such a day? Why not thank Mr. Luo Guanzhong? Don't shush this "Lanxi Hall". I have seen the high-pitched stage in Shaoxing. After Sun Yat-sen resigned as interim president in the first year of the Republic of China, he came to Jiaxing to lobby. People from all walks of life in Jiaxing gathered in Lanxi Hall to welcome him. Dr. Sun Yat-sen boarded the podium, delivered a speech, and then went to Yu Yan Building to have dinner with the people who welcomed him. This kind and kind generation of great men is often talked about by people in the mouth of my previous generation.

Attachment: Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce 128 and the article "Lanxi Guild Hall" are as follows:

Lanxi Guild Hall, commonly known as Lanxi CCBA. Located in the north of Chunbo Bridge outside the East Gate, it covers an area of three acres and has a large scale. There was a stage with a square in front, and dozens of houses were built later, which were built for traders dealing in candied dates and southern goods. In the first year of the Republic of China1February 9, Sun Yat-sen, the father of the revolutionary country, attended the welcoming meeting of thousands of people organized by all walks of life in Jiaxing, and Sun Yat-sen delivered a speech.

The above is for literature and history lovers to further explore and look forward to new discoveries.
