Residence of Imperial Scholar (Zheng Yongxi)

The state-owned historic site in Hsinchu City, which has been idle for 33 years and difficult to start the restoration project, opened the Jinshi Zheng Yongxi’s "Jinshi No.". It was finally approved by the proprietor and the Ministry of Culture approved 53.88 million yuan. The restoration project will start in September 107. A privately-owned "national monument" received government subsidies to start a repair project, which is an important milestone in the preservation of the monument. CE In 1985, the Ministry of the Interior announced that it was a second-level historic site, namely the National Historic Site, the "Jinshidi" of Zheng Yongxi House in Hsinchu City. Because it is a private historic site, the public sector has been unable to enter for relevant investigations and studies. It was not commissioned by the city government until CE 2009 The University of Science and Technology of China carried out the "National Historic Site Jinshi No. 1 and Its Historic Site Preservation Area Investigation and Research and Restoration and Reuse Project", which was completed in CE 2010. However, due to multiple damages to the "Jinshidi" mansion, in CE 2011, the city government urgently carried out the "Jinshidi's First Steel Scaffolding Emergency Support and Insect Control Project" to maintain the integrity of the national monuments with steel sheds. The public authorities have discussed and held meetings with people related to the Zheng clan for many times. After retreating temporarily and not handling the third improvement project of the "Jinshidi", the repair project was finally revealed. The city government initiated the "National Historic Site Jinshidi Hypothetical Project Plan". Design, component supplementary investigation and study and revision of planning and design documents" proposal was finally approved by the Ministry of Culture in June 107, and was approved for Jinshidi restoration project funding of 53.88 million yuan. It is expected to start in September and be completed by the end of CE 2020. Lin Xiaohua said that "Jinshidi" is a national historic site. According to the provisions of the Cultural Assets Law, although the competent authority is the Ministry of Culture, the Bureau of Culture has been in the forefront of the city's appearance and preservation of cultural assets for several decades. The Zheng sent his subordinates to communicate and coordinate, and seek ways to solve the problem with the Ministry of Culture. Now they are finally on the road of restoration. I hope that after the restoration of Jinshidi, the 180-year-old historic house will be restored. According to the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Zheng Yongxi’s "Jin Shi No." was built in Daoguang 18 of the Qing Dynasty and CE 1838, and Zheng Yongxi went to Beijing in CE 1823 and ranked 109th among the top three Jinshi, and was the first person to be admitted to the Golden Board for Taiwanese candidates.

Zheng Yongxi once suggested building a stone city, assisting in mediating classification and fighting, serving as the head of the Mingzhi Academy, etc., showing the Confucian care for the local style. Zheng Yongxi's residence "Jinshidi" has a layout characteristic of "four golds" in its architectural style, which means that both the first and second entrances have houses on the left and right sides. The structure of the building uses brick, stone and wood as building materials, and the overall architectural performance is exquisite and delicate. However, with the passage of time, many bricks and woods have decayed, and the house is seriously damaged and needs to be repaired urgently. The National Historic Site "Jinshidi", located on Beimen Street, was declared a Grade II monument by the Ministry of the Interior in August 1974. It was revised in 1990 and changed to a National Historic Site. The three-open and three-entry compound has a "Jinshidi" plaque hung on the front of the gate. The third entrance behind was burnt down during World War II, leaving only the current first two entrances. Jinshidi’s wood carvings are very particular. The carvings of the grid doors in the main hall have the characteristics of primitive simplicity. The bottom layer is filled with thousands of characters, and the upper layer is carved with poems or wealth and peace. The carvings are extraordinary and breathtaking. The architectural features and historical significance are cultural. Asset value. Zheng Yongxi was awarded a scholarship in 1823.

The first phase of the renovation project is in progress, looking forward to the opening in mid-2021

During the rest, it won’t be until July next year A corner of the ancient building looks good, look forward to

The Jinshidi was built in the eighteenth year of Daoguang (1838). It was the first house built by Zheng Yongxi on Shuitian Street outside the north gate of Zhumo after the Zheng family established the Zheng Family Temple in Kinmen in the tenth year of Daoguang (1830). .

Zheng Yongxi of the North Gate of Hsinchu City was the first Jinshi of the opening ceremony. In the 18th year of Daoguang (1838), he built the Hsinchu Jinshidi, and the 109th Jinshi of Zheng Yongxi Temple was the first person to be a scholar in the Taiwanese quota. "Opening a yellow armor", and his resignation returned to his hometown, that is, "Jinshi Di". Jinshidi and its surrounding buildings have been built for nearly two hundred years, and they have an important position in the development of Hsinchu and Taiwan. It is a valuable cultural asset from the perspective of history or architecture.

The long-term inactivity in the past has collapsed, but fortunately, it is currently being renovated, looking forward to returning to the style of the past, and letting the public pay attention to the protection and inheritance of historical sites.

1. From Zhongzheng Road, the first building is Zheng Family Temple, followed by Geely (severely damaged, only truss), Chunguan and Jinshidi, unfortunately, Zheng Zheng ’s conscripts were expanded a few years ago. The road was demolished, but none of them was open to visit. However, watching the stone carving from the entrance to Jinshou entrance, although weathered, it still feels historical. (There was also funding for peace in the Spring Rebellion) 2. Since the high school history textbook mentioned the opening of Jinshi Zheng, a plaque with his title in the Qing'an Palace in Changhua, and the inscription written by him in the Golden Gate Museum, I have always wanted to witness Jinshidi's style, but it seems that there is a kind of king Xietang Qianyan The decline. 3. Maybe the current tenants do not want others to disturb, so they are not welcome to visit outsiders, maybe it ’s a small behavior to let them give up the idea of ​​opening up, but they still look forward to it and hope that it will be carried forward in the future to become "North Gate Street Jinshidi" Cultural district

Zheng Yongxi, born in Qianlong 53 (1788) and Daoguang 3 years (1823), went to Beijing to take the junior high school entrance examination. In the 17th year of Daoguang (1837), Zheng Yongxi built a courtyard with three entrances and five entrances in the north of Zhucheng, and hung the honorary plaque of "Jin Shi Di" on the door. This is the dilapidated house in front of me. . The forehead of the "Jin Shi Di" is still hanging above the door.
