The sky is blue, it is raining, and I am waiting for you. Zhongshan Chaiquan Village, a traditional ancient village, looks forward to meeting you.

The sky is blue, it is raining, I am waiting for you,

For several days, it kept raining.

In the light rain,

The Spring Festival in the Year of the Tiger is coming soon.

In this case,

Yan Qian Town takes you to Zhongshan Chaiquan Village, a traditional ancient village located in the upper reaches of the cloud.

Now the road leading to Zhongshan Chaiquan Village was newly built in 2020, wide and flat. There are many new houses along the way.

Since ancient times, there have been "Shibuya Village in front and 18 pits behind" in front of the rock. Zhongshan was originally named Chaiquan Village (Central Village), which was renamed during the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty. Its pioneers were Deng, Luo and Cao, and it has a history of more than 1000 years. Chaiquan Village has a long history and has been very prosperous since Huichang period in Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, funds were raised to build the Yongxing Temple; in the Yuan Dynasty, walls and doors were built; in the Ming Dynasty, bridges and pavements were built to build water conservancy projects; by the time of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, 10/3 men had lived together and had more than 400 cigarettes. There are more than 20 well-preserved ancient buildings in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

When you come to the entrance of Zhongshan Chaiquan Village, you can see an antique house. There is a sign next to the gate, which reads "Ancestral House of Xu Shi, Zhongshan", belonging to the "Login Point of the Third National Immovable Cultural Relics Survey". The house is made of bamboo and wood, and the walls are made of bamboo sticks and mud. The smell of traditional ancient buildings came to my face. Walking into the hall and looking up at the roof, the main beam is well preserved and finely carved, showing the grandeur of the ancestral home.

Walk out of Xu Shi's ancestral home and turn left into an alley. You can see a brand building next to it, which is the former site of Zhongshan Red Army Field Hospital. This building is a residential building in Qing Dynasty, with a total width of 14m, a depth of 20m and an area of nearly 300m2. It consists of upper hall, patio, lower hall and courtyard.

According to historical records, in April of 1934, the Red 7 Army liberated Zhongshan, took Zhongshan area as the red base, attacked Yong 'an County, eliminated the Star Bridge Broadsword Club, established the Zhongshan Party branch and the Soviet government, and launched the agrarian revolution. During this period, the Red 7 Army Corps and the 9 th Independent Regiment Field Hospital of the Red Army were located at No.52, north of Zhongshan Village, and treated dozens of Red Army patients and injured Red Guards. Jiang Shunyi and Zhuo Yuezai of Zhongshan Village nurse the wounded in the Red Army Field Hospital and clean bandages and other medical supplies and appliances for the wounded outside the well.

I don't know if you have noticed that during the revolutionary war years, ancestral temples, ancestral houses and temples all over the country played an important role in the medical treatment and rest of the revolutionary ranks.

Traditional historical and cultural buildings are the witness of historical and social development. Yan Qian Town attaches great importance to the protection of historical and cultural buildings. Founded on 20 16, the first phase of the renovation of Zhongshan ancient village was officially started on February 20 17. In 2020, we sought special funds of 5.03 million yuan from three cultural protection units in Zhongshan for the second phase of renovation, which was completed in June 20021year.

Yongxing Temple's doors are closed daily. Please consult the villagers nearby and enter through the small door on the right. Buddhist nun is clean and quiet, with nuns chanting from time to time. There are some books provided free of charge on the desk at the entrance of the main hall, such as Fan Fan under the temptation, Comic Disciple Rules, Induction of the Emperor's Supper, Explanation of the Cause and Effect Sutra of the Three Ages, Pure and Equal Sutra of Mahayana Buddha's Endless Life, Constant Rites, etc.

Yongxin gan

Founded in Song Xianchun, it was rebuilt in Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty (187 1). It is one of the oldest buildings in Zhongshan, with its back against the mountains, covering an area of 1300 square meters and a building area of about 1000 square meters. The front door building is binary, and the top of the mountain is hung with double eaves. Yongxing Temple consists of the former Daping, the gatehouse, the front hall, the cloister, the patio and the main hall.

Walking along the path, many houses on both sides of the street have a square trough with eyes, which at first glance looks like a trough for feeding livestock in the countryside.

Let's guess what this is.

This is used to deliver water.

This kind of stone trough is called "sending trough" in the local area, which is the embodiment of the people in Chaidog Village observing Confucian ethics and customs. In ancient times, most men in the village went out, leaving only women at home. The village drinks water from the well, which is inconvenient for women. Therefore, the village arranges men to deliver water to women who have no men at home on time, but men and women are not allowed to enter and leave women's homes at will. Smart ancestors set up this "water delivery tank", poured water into the tank and stored it in the tank behind the tank. Men and women heard voices, but never met.

The ancient gatehouse everywhere.

Walking on centipede street, I saw two stone tablets in succession, one engraved with "Shi Gandang" and the other engraved with "Mount Tai Shi Gandang". I read the legend of Mount Tai Shi Gandang when I was a child, but now my memory is a little fuzzy. Before I picked it up again, I asked Du Niang: Shi Gandang, also known as Taishan Shi Gandang, is a small stone tablet built outside the old house or at the corner of China. Named after the inscription stone gan dang. As one of the folk exorcism methods, this custom first prevailed in the Tang Dynasty.

Shi Gandang stood on the wall of the street, especially at the crossroads such as T-junction, which is called fierce position. The words "Shi Gandang" or "Taishan Shi Gandang" are engraved on the stone tablet, and there are bas-reliefs of the lion's head and the tiger's head on the stone tablet. The custom of Shi Gandang in Mount Tai embodies the connotation of "keeping peace and driving away evil spirits". The State Council has published the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists, and the custom of "Taishan Shi Gandang" is on the list.

Wugong steet

During the period from Yuan Dynasty to Zhengnian, Luo Haoran, a township official, built an official road and a bustling commercial street in Zhongshan Village. Centipede Street is divided into three sections, with a total length of more than 600 meters. The back street is 260 meters long from Marshal Pavilion to Laizi Pavilion, the middle street is about 150 meters long from the alley head to the bridgehead of Longwu Bridge, and the front street is about 190 meters long from Wenchang Pavilion to the entrance of Chu Yang Sangong Temple. Granite strips are paved vertically in the middle of the street, and then slabs of equal length are paved horizontally, with a width of about 6544. The pattern of Zhongshan ancient street thus defined has been passed down to this day and has not changed for hundreds of years.

Along centipede street, through the Zhuang ancestral hall, which was founded in Yuan Dynasty and rebuilt in Ming Dynasty, Zhuang surname is a big surname in Zhongshan Village. The ancestral hall is well preserved as a whole, with complicated door beam carving and simple wood structure. The gate is closed, and there is a couplet on each side: Zhongshan Mianshi Post, Tianshui Wind.

There is a well-preserved wind valley machine on the right.

The basic structure of the winnowing thresher is: there is a trapezoidal feed hopper at the top, a funnel for discharging rice below, a small funnel for discharging polished rice and shriveled grains at the side, and a chaff at the tail; The round wooden "big belly" has an impeller and a handle, and the grain can be lifted by turning the blades by hand. This is a traditional wooden farm tool, which is used to remove impurities, shriveled grains, straw and other crop residues.

Stone vessels, stone mortar, stone chair, stone trough and stone building can be seen everywhere along the way, all of which show the historical sense of Zhongshan, a traditional ancient village. Brick carvings, stone carvings and plaques are old and mottled, but they are still exquisite. Every brick, tile and sculpture is attached with the unique memory of the ancient village.

A fire broke out at 20 14 of centipede street, which destroyed an ancient house and left this ruin. I can't help sighing every time I pass by.

Next to the burned ruins, a big mansion stands out. In particular, the antique doors are very distinctive. There are flowers and plants and some stone carvings in the yard. There is a plaque above the hall door, which says "plow and read" A closer look reveals that this monument was carved by Gu in the 12th year of Qing Shunzhi.

There is a couplet on both sides of the gate: the people are healthy and rich from the sky.

There is also a plaque above the hall, which says "Hall of Innocence". The whole building continues the traditional architectural style of Zhongshan, which is well worth visiting.

According to local villagers, 20 14 fire spread here, and the houses were damaged to some extent. In recent years, the owner began to repair it. The big house we see now is antique, which is the result of the owner's huge investment in repair. It is suggested that you can make an appointment in advance when you visit Zhongshan.

Passing by Zhongshan Village Party-mass Service Center, the propaganda of preventing COVID-19 epidemic was repeatedly played on the loudspeaker.

Chusangong temple

Located in the southwest of Zhongshan Village, Chusangong Temple was built by Yang Chusan, the 13th Zhongshan during Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty (1862- 1874). Covering an area of more than 700 square meters, with a construction area of about 500 square meters, it is a binary wooden structure with a hard top.

Two couplets in the hall of Xu Ruifang's former residence: a poem and a book to serve the country and a filial family heirloom.

In the stone-wood structure scene along the street, villagers sit around and rest, which is a good picture of life in ancient villages.

Walking through the stone road that runs through the old house, let's take a look at this boat-shaped stone bridge built on the west Ren Xi of the village in the Yuan Dynasty. The bridge is 37 meters long (including 24 meters for the bridge, 7 meters for the approach bridge at the east end and 6 meters for the approach bridge at the west end), with two piers and three holes, and a boat pier. The bow, which inclines higher in the upstream direction, is made of a whole boulder, and the piers, beams, decks and railings are all made of granite strips or square stones.

The bridge outside the village is a newly renovated "barrier-free Zhai". It was written by an old carpenter's village in Zhongshan village. The towering archway at Zhaimen has no obstacles and the eaves spread their wings.

"Wubuzhai" is a place for local religious activities in Zhongshan Village.

Standing in front of the clear lent and looking out,

The footprints left by history are clearly visible.

Changes brought about by scientific and technological progress,

It's different from the folk customs here.

Zhongshan Chaiquan Village, a traditional ancient village,

Shining with new light,

No matter where you are,

Shibuya village is here,

Looking forward to meeting you.
