The Legend of Longjing Village

It is said that there was a spring in the village in ancient times. The spring water is endless, clear and fragrant, like water given by a dragon. The villagers carved a faucet out of stone and put it at the mouth of the spring, and the spring water gushed out from Longkou and never stopped. Later, a Feng Shui gentleman passed by this spring and drank its spring water. He thought it was amazing and suggested that villagers build wells to store drinking water. So the villagers dug a well here, and this well was named Longjing.

There are springs and dragons in the village first, then dragons and wells, and then wells and villages. The name of Longjing Village evolved from this. By the hexagonal well in Longjing Shangcun, the reporter saw an ancient stone tablet by the well.

The inscription reads: "Note: This well is named after Longjing and the famous village Longjing. No entry into the village: the inner well is dedicated, and the drinking water is fragrant. The outer well is dedicated to washing clothes, and plows, taro and foul-smelling sundries are not allowed to enter the well to get dirty, and digging stones is not allowed. If you break the law, you will be fined five pounds and you will never be forgiven. " The time to set up the monument is the auspicious day of Meng Dong in the forty-ninth year of Qianlong.

The development of history

In the seventh year of Qing Shunzhi, Lin moved into Longjing Village, and then the surnames settled in the village one after another. At that time, the village was called Baiteng Mountain, and it was said that there were shrubs such as Baiteng everywhere. The people who settled here had no time to name the village, so it was commonly known as Baiteng Mountain. The name of Longjing Village was recorded for the first time in the thirty-fifth year of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1770), when the fifth ancestor of Lin made a genealogy for the first time.

From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there were five surnames: Yan, Xu, Liang, Wen and Liu. These five surnames have no descendants except Wen, and his descendants moved to Xiangouwei, Ding 'an County (Liang in this village moved from the village after liberation). Among the 14 surnames in the village, Wu, Jiang, Lin and Yang have the largest population, accounting for 75.4% of the total population in the village.
