Liang Mou, a researcher in folk culture in Panyu District, introduced that in the Ming Dynasty, many folk craftsmen had gathered in Sanshan Village. “In the Qing Dynasty, the Summer Palace was built, and the court went to various places to select skilled craftsmen. Only after passing the assessment could they participate in the construction of the Summer Palace. At that time, the craftsmen in Sanshan Village were selected to participate.”
Sanshan Village Chairman Li Zhipei introduced that many famous ancient architecture craftsmen also appeared in the history of Sanshan Village. The most representative figures were Jin Yaosheng and Lao Cuixi. Jin Yaosheng was the “top scholar of the gray batch of grey books in LingnanBabaylan 1990 clothes draw“” Lao Cuixi was a “mural master”. Many of the murals in the Chen Family Ancestral Ancestral Sculptures and Lingnan buildings around Panyu were written by the two of them. In addition, the most famous ancestral hall in Guangzhou—Babaylan 1990 cloth draw—Chen Family Ancestral HallMany exquisite wood carvings are also masterpieces of Sanshan craftsmen at that time.
Lao Yaochun, an 81-year-old villager in Sanshan, was once an ancient building construction technician. He worked as a deputy manager at Shawan Construction Company. He also has another identity – the grandchild of Lao Cuixi.
”My brother Lao Zhuoqian and grandfather Lao Cuixi are both muralists, and many murals in the Nanfanshun area are from them.” Usually, Lao Yaochun always likes to visit the ancient temple complex of Aoshan. “When you look up here, you may see the murals of grandpa and brother.”
When talking about another Lingnan gray sculpture master Jin Yaosheng from Sanshan Village, Lao Yaochun gave a thumbs up. “The gray sculpture work of Chen Jiaci was made by Master Jin Yaosheng as the foreman.” In Sanshan Village, Jin Yaosheng’s gray sculpture work “Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust” is still placed under the front eaves of Luban Temple. Its style is like the landscape of the southern country, with a refreshing cultural texture.
It is understood that as the Chen Family Ancestral Hall of the Chen Family Family in the 72 counties in the province, the entire project gathers famous craftsmen and manufacturers from all over the province. Among them, gray plastic decoration was provided by Jin Yaosheng, the “gray batch top scholar” at that time.

Expert survey data shows that the ancient temple of the Master is located northeast and southwest, with three rooms and three entrances, covering an area of 105.74 square meters.

”In 1993, I took the villagers to rebuild this ancient temple. The Lu Ban statues were remade based on old photos.” Huang Qunqing told reporters that before the rebuilding, some parts were collapsed and were dilapidated. “The best preserved are the murals on the wall and the bricks on the ground. At that time, many murals were painted with white ash, and the workers carefully cleaned them, so that these exquisite murals would be seen again.”
At the two entrances of the rebuilt ancient temple, the reporter saw two couplets. The couplets at the back gate were “The great craftsman and the high doors were all inclusive; the rules and regulations were established to guide Huai (the word “Huai”) to know the present”; the couplets at the front gate of the front gate were “The rules set the square and round Yi Shike followed this method, and the ink rope was divided into curves and straight crafts and used the materials well.”
Huang Qunqing told reporters that these two couplets were written by later generations during the renovation, demonstrating the connotation and professional principles of craftsmanship.
Huang Qunqing said that since the restoration of Luban Temple, Sanshan Village will also spontaneously hold a master’s birthday (i.e. Luban’s birthday). If you cannot come back, the craftsmen of Sanshan Village will celebrate at the construction site. “I have a special relationship with this Luban Temple. I will come back every year when my master is born.”
Development: selected as the second batch of national characteristic towns
Sanshan Village Chairman Li Zhipei said that in the past Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawThe entire village was engaged in the construction industry, and now only a few craftsmen are still sticking to it. “In the past, ancient buildings were focused on slow work and meticulous work. Sometimes a worker could only build 25 blue bricks and 3 step bricks a day. In the eyes of young people, craftsmen dealing with bricks and mud is a physical workplace. They don’t like to do it.” Li Zhipei said.
The famous gray sculptor Liang Mian is from Sanshan Village. His father was originally a Shawan plasterer. He learned art from his father since he was a child and has devoted himself to studying gray sculpture art for more than 50 years. The works created are used in ShawanBabaylan 1990 cloth drawAoshan Ancient Temple, Baomo Garden, Nanyue Garden, Qinghui Garden, Xishan Temple, Nanhua Temple, Shunfeng Park, etc.

In a small street shop in Sanshan Village, Li Guangyong is creating a gray-plastic work called “Eight Immortals Picture”. “This work was originally prepared to participate in the village’s Luban Festival exhibition this year, but unfortunately it was not enough to be rushed. I missed it. It’s better to miss it, you can calm down and polish it slowly. Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw“
While Li Guangyong chatted with reporters, he held a handful of multi-head wood cone and pressed it on the gray-plastic panel, making it easier for the panel to hang clay material. “It’s not time to display this year, so I’ll wait for next year.” In 2017, Sanshan Village was selected into the second batch of the list of national characteristic towns. Li Zhipei said that Sanshan Village has a history of more than 800 years, and the commemoration of Luban will become the village’s annual festival – “Luban Festival”.
Li Zhipei also proposed to build a Luban Cultural Square to the north of the ancient temple and build a craftsman museum to collect and exhibit artisan works from all over the province to attract more young people to learn. In the future, Babaylan 1990 clothing draw will build Sanshan Village into a characteristic town of ancient architecture craftsmen in Lingnan.
Inheritance: Let young craftsmen see career prospects
Zhu Qiuli said that urban and rural historical and cultural heritage is mainly protected by craftsmen. Now most of them are over 50 years old in this industry, and no successor is a common problem. “The lack of vocational education and the narrow teaching of masters and apprentices has exacerbated the crisis of craftsmen’s inheritance.”
How to solve the problem of craftsmen’s inheritance? Zhu Qiuli believes that to retain craftsmen, we must first have encouragement policies. Old artists must have the right status. With the status, they must also have corresponding cultural heritage allowances and guarantee mechanisms. “Traditional architectural craftsmanship, like modern architectural decoration, must have professional title assessment, so that young craftsmen can see their career prospects.”
”As craftsmen grow old, ancient building construction technology also grows old. For example, there are no more good players in the market to build bamboo trellis. This is also a traditional craft for restoring ancient buildings. The bamboo trellis is lightweight and suitable for repairing one or two floors of ancient buildings, which is more convenient than iron racks.” Ancient building repair expert Ouyang Lun told reporters.
A ancient architecture expert told reporters: “Now that government departments have vigorously promoted the activities of famous craftsmen, the status and treatment of craftsmen have gradually improved. In addition to paying attention to a few famous craftsmen, we should also pay attention to ordinary craftsmen. Only in this way can we not deviate from the essence of protecting ancient buildings and their traditional craftsmen.Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw“
The expert believes that the value of craftsmen lies in inheriting traditional technologies and striving for excellence. Craftsman talents are the basic guarantee for restoring the original appearance of ancient buildings. Attention to craftsmen reflects respect for traditional values. Only when craftsmen have successors can these precious ancient building construction techniques and the spiritual qualities attached to them be preserved. (Xiao Guilai)
