马相伯故居

Ma Xiangbo's Residence

马相伯（1840—1939），祖籍江苏丹阳，是我国近代高等教育改革的开拓者、教育家与爱国人士，有着传奇的人生。马相伯30岁即成为中国第一位神学博士，其百年人生跨越清代道光、咸丰、同治、光绪、宣统以及中华民国，柳亚子先生赞其“一老南天身是史”。1903年，63岁的他将坐落在松江、青浦的地产房屋全部捐献，以家产兴学创办震旦学院，两年后又辟建复旦公学（即今复旦大学）。1912年，马相伯72岁，中华民国成立，在孙中山的邀请下，他出任南京市第一任市长。在抗日战争时期，90岁高龄的马相伯架着拐杖东奔西走，号召全民抗日，成为上海地区乃至全国文化界、教育界抗日救国的领军人。

泗泾下塘风貌区内的开江中路上有一栋二层房屋上书“马相伯故居”，坐北面南，建于明末清初，现沿街部分建筑对外开放。跨过前厅，步入天井，眼前清代的大厅现为马相伯故居陈列馆。往北穿过第二进天井便可见后厅，厅堂庄重而高贵，堂内额枋上木雕精美。抬头仰望，中堂板壁上方悬挂“生德堂”匾额，为他的书法家挚友、七宝乡乡长张秉彝在马相伯创校时所题赠。马相伯本人热心于泗泾地区的公益事务，曾经关心参与泗泾塘、蒲汇塘等河道的疏浚工作，并慰劳当地的河长及河工。在春秋两季及暇日，马相伯会来此小住，因此这里也曾为社会贤达聚会之所。

为了纪念这位具有传奇人生的历史名人，2002年11月马相伯故居修缮完成并对社会开放，目前为松江区级文物保护单位。

Originally from Danyang in Jiangsu Province, Ma Xiangbo (1840—1939), is considered a pioneer of China's modern reforms in higher education, an educator and a patriot. At the age of 30, Ma became China's first doctor of divinity. His life has run through the era of Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, Xuantong in the Qing dynasty, and the Republic of China. Mr. Liu Yazi once praised him as “a living history”. In 1903, at the age of 63, he donated all his real estate in Songjiang and Qingpu to found the Aurora College before he established Fudan University two years later. In 1912, the Republic of China was established when Ma was 72 years old. By Sun Yat-sen's invitation, he became the first mayor of Nanjing Municipality. Into his 90s, he traveled around with a cane and called on the whole people to fight against Japan's invasion and save the country, making him a pioneer in the cultural and educational circles in Shanghai and beyond.

The residence is located on the Middle Kaijiang Road in Xiatang Historical and Cultural Reserve, Sijing Town. Facing south, this two-story building was constructed in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and is now partly open to the public. Behind the front hall and the courtyard sits the main hall, where exhibitions are held. The northern second courtyard leads to the back hall, a solum space with ornately carved wooden architraves. Above the partition hangs a plaque commemorating Sheng De Tang, a gift from Ma's friend Zhang Bingyi, a calligrapher and the township head of Qibao. Ma makes earnest efforts to promote public interests and once took part in the dredging of the rivers Sijingtang and Puhuitang, for which the workers were well compensated. During his more relaxed moments in the spring and autumn, Ma would live here, contenting to the social and convivial atmosphere for which it was widely known.

In order to commemorate Ma Xiangbo, in November 2002 the residence was renovated and opened to the public.
