Localization Of Catholic Church In Taihu Lake Basin In The Late Qing Dynasty

After the outbreak of the Opium War,with the signing of the “Nanjing Treaty”,the British and French consulates were stationed in Shanghai,and the foreign missionaries began to build churches,schools,hospitals and bookstores in the concession of Kaishang,and then spread along the Yangtze River to the southern part of Jiangsu.Boat fishermen spread throughout the Taihu Lake basin.At that time,the construction industry of the Taihu Lake Basin was symbiotic,and the local traditional craftsmen did not know how to construct the construction technology of the church.After the architects of the foreign architects drew the drawings,they hired local “heads” to organize the construction of artisans.Due to regional reasons,construction materials such as wood and bricks must be taken locally.“Huayang” also produced some transformations in the construction techniques and drawings,and finally adopted the “conformity to local conditions”.The Taihu Lake Basin is the main distribution area of the traditional craftsmanship of the “Xiangshan Bang” since the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Wu is the main dialect of the Taihu Lake Basin.The spread of the craftsmanship is often inextricably linked with the dialect language.In the late Qing Dynasty,Suzhou was still the “central city” of Xiangshan’s craftsmanship.At that time,the artisan system of the construction industry had collapsed.Under the leadership of the water carpenter,the carpenter began to undertake construction activities in the construction market.The germination of the doctrine has already appeared in the period when the Ming Dynasty’s artisanal system was loose.During the reign of Emperor Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty,among the craftsmen of the “Suiyi Public Office” of the Suzhou Construction Industry,regardless of the gang,they took over the construction projects on the market as contractors.The craftsmen of these craftsmen often deal with foreign architects and begin to familiarize themselves with these “new styles” of construction practices.This kind of “inter-Huayang” running-in transition(including the translation of foreign designer drawings,Xiangshan to create a translation between the scale and the European scale,the contradiction between the traditional scale and the constructive rational scale,etc.)has experienced quite a long time.For a while.At the end of the Qing Dynasty,the style of the Catholic Church in the Taihu Lake Basin was clearly localized or compromised.It was the result of this kind of running-in.This study is not only limited to the style,space and shape of the Catholic Church in the Taihu Lake Basin.It traces the construction process of the Qing Dynasty and explores the life mode of its main body.Based on the routine research of cultural relics,the city-level cultural protection unit Suzhou The Yangjiaqiao Catholic Church was put into the historical environment of the Taihu Lake Basin in the late Qing Dynasty for detailed pre-analysis,revealing the deeper value of the Catholic Church in the Taihu Lake Valley in the late Qing Dynasty,and proposing the optimization based on the cognitive cognition of the Yangjiaqiao Catholic Church’s renovation project design text.The project proposes to provide a theoretical basis for the “authenticity” and “integrity” levels in order to refine the laws and regulations on modern building protection in Suzhou,strengthen the pre-assessment mechanism of modern architectural heritage and implement its sub-score system,and build other buildings in Taihu Lake in the late Qing Dynasty.The Catholic Church repair project in the basin provides preliminary research samples with certain reference value.
