Changxi rural culture

According to the spectrum, after the Dai family moved to Changxi, it became a prominent family in the local area because its ancestors attached importance to goodness. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Dai's descendants had passed the scientific examination, and there were 5 scholars, including more than 200 people including Lin, Gong, Yi and Guo. Dai's clan personality is dedicated to the world, and poverty is good for the country. Officials try their best to serve the country, work diligently for the people and cultivate filial piety. So there are bureaucrats with outstanding merits or achievements. Dai Hu, the originator of the Dai family in Wuyuan (Dai moved to Wuyuan as the ancestor), was awarded a martial arts doctor by Tang Ganfu during his tenure. During his tenure, he was kind-hearted, virtuous and beautiful, enlightened and changed customs, and respected etiquette, so that bandits did not invade Xinjiang and locusts did not enter the country, and intellectuals had to be subdued. He made great contributions to Wuyuan's economic prosperity and local peace. The second son, Dai Shou, was appointed commander of Wuyuan Zuo Jianwei. At that time, local thieves disturbed the people. He led troops to suppress thieves many times and saved the people from fire and water. The emperor praised him for his loyalty, loyalty, courage and precision, and he was very impressed. Dai 'an III, the son of the Southern Tang (Baoda) School, offered a drink offering to Dr. Yin Qingguang Lu for his meritorious service. He is outstanding in literature and diligent in politics, sitting at his desk all night. One day, he suddenly collapsed in the yamen. The court mourned his talent, gave him loyalty and respect, and buried Leping in Xuli Temple to worship him. At present, there is also a Zhong Gonggong Temple in Binglang Mountain in Leping, where incense is very strong. Dai Jing, the fourth generation, attacked his father's post and gave him a Chinese book, while Dai Duan, his younger brother, was the Southern Tang Dynasty Imperial Adviser. The fifth Dai Lu, Tang Zuosan rode as a constant servant.

Dai, a great scholar in Song Dynasty, was the ancestor of Xianyanqian Village. His younger brother Dai Kuangde is as famous as his brothers. He was admitted to the third subject in the Song Dynasty. He is a college student in the Confucian Temple and the ancestor of Changxi Village. To the seventh generation, he served as Jiangning county magistrate, Pengze county magistrate and Hangzhou judge. In the 28th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, Dai Guotai was awarded Nanjing Garrison. Dai 'ang, the thirtieth generation, rode a captain in Wu Xin during the reign of Kangxi; Dai Xiguang, the 32 nd, served as the magistrate of Shaanxi Baoan during the Qianlong period; Thirty-three counties such as Dai Shizhen and Ren Jiaxiang; Dai Bing and Ren Zhili Haizhou were sentenced; The 34th generation Dai Xizhen was a 34-year-old scholar. Dai Changxing, awarded the Sixth Military Merit, alternate Wu Zhi; In addition, there are many people who chase, film, spoil and make contributions, and the court has given more than 20 people fake posts and fame. Dai, the 37th generation, was elected in the primary election of the provincial council of the Republic of China; Dai Donglie, Executive Member of the Party Department of the Republic of China. During the liberation period, many people took part in the revolution, and four of them gave their lives for it. They are:

Name, gender, age, time to participate in the revolution and reasons for the time and place of sacrifice.

Men in Dai family are as good as others, and don't want men's wives. Zhang, the mother of Dai Kuangde and the ancestor of Dai Kuangde, has made great contributions to her parents-in-law. She is humble, modest, retired, resigned, and tempered her husband with honor. She sometimes tells her two sons, "Do your best to serve your country and don't miss your mother deeply." Zhang, the mother of Dai Xiguang in the Qing Dynasty, is knowledgeable, caring for her husband, teaching her children, and warning future generations that "learning without lewdness, holding grudges and hiding anger, and being cautious about her post are the foundation of her life". Not only her son is an official in high school, but also her two grandchildren are on the list.

Historical materials of revolutionary base areas: As early as 1932, the Northeast Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee sent Wang Fengqing and Yang to work in Dalian Mountain and Changjiang area; 1In June, 936, Laban Xiao, secretary of the Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and County Party Committee, moved Qi, Fu and Wu Zhongxin to Dalian Mountain to establish Le and Wu Zhongxin County Committees, and opened up bases in Dalian Mountain and Tianbaotang at the junction of Wuyuan and Fuliang. Southwest Wu became a new guerrilla base. 1From March to May, 937, Ni Nanshan, secretary of the Central Party Committee of * * * Xiu (Ning) Wu (Yuan), led four Red Army troops to persist in the struggle in Fangjia Village of our village; 1June, 939, due to the rebellion of the central traffic policemen, the enemy went to the central county party Committee for a search. Fortunately, Ni Nanshan and others escaped from danger and went to Liujiamu area in Changjiang and Changxi to disperse guerrilla activities. According to the history of the Party, the early revolutionary leaders of our province, such as Guan Ying, Liu Yubiao and Ni Nanshan, all worked in Changxi area. Many villagers in our village directly or indirectly provided convenience and support to the Red Army, guerrillas and the People's Liberation Army, and some even joined the revolutionary ranks.

Legend of village history: Dai Kuangde, the ancestor of Changxi, went to Song Sanke in Song Chunhua in 992 and made a pilgrimage to Ling Bao Hall in Changxi. He looked around and saw the mountains and rivers of the long stream, falling in love with each other. He looked around and was overjoyed to see the sparkling river, fish jumping and birds dancing. While he was meditating, a literary friend who knew Feng Shui followed him, peeked for a long time and pointed out, "Feng Shui is excellent here!" " "Deming looked up and saw a mountain that looked like a horn. It crossed the river in front and rested on a high mountain behind it. The left and right mountains are undulating, with flowing water and beautiful scenery. Look at that mountain, with lush vegetation and easy cultivation. People in the industry say it is a good place. He led everyone to the foot of the mountain and drank the river, saying it was sweet. Dai Kuangde said, "Good Feng Shui! "I have made up my mind now.

Dai Kuangde took a fancy to the place of Changxi and went back to discuss it with his parents and brothers. Parents and eldest brother Dai are reluctant to leave Guiyan. After discussion at home, we decided to let Kuangde move to Changxi. Kuangde moved to Ma Yuan to build a house and open a village during Chunhua period in Song Dynasty, and became the ancestor of Changxi Village. Because the village site is well chosen, the geomantic omen is excellent, the population is prosperous, and the forest tea is abundant. By more than 20 generations, future generations will be more prosperous. Their descendants lived in Mayuan Village, established Upper Changxi Village, and later developed Lower Changxi Village. According to today's order, the young man is forty-two years old.

Legend of Xue Shougong: In Dengxian Village, Changxixia Village, there used to be a Xue Shougong Temple. Above the gate of this big ancestral hall, there is a wooden tablet engraved with the four characters of Xueshou Palace. The ancestral hall was built in memory of Xue Shougong by his descendants. Why build an ancestral temple for an elder? This situation is extremely rare. The old people said: Xue Shougong was the founder of Changxi Village No.2/kloc-0. It is said that his hair was gray and he lived to the age of 109, so later generations respected him as Xue Shougong.

Xue Shougong's ex-wife died before him, and she had only one daughter, who was married to neighboring gangtou. When Xue Shougong was 80 years old, it was near the end of the year. He found it inconvenient to live alone at home, so he had the idea of taking refuge in his daughter.

On New Year's Eve, he carried the only old cotton wool at home and worked hard to get to his daughter's house. The daughter was very unhappy when she saw her father like this and knew that his father had come to make trouble for her. He rolled up his father's rags and threw them on the pigsty. Tell my father that it is not convenient for others to be present at home to worship their ancestors. Tell my dad to go outside first, and then tell him to go home when the business is finished.

Xue Shougong has been wandering outside, and his daughter will come to find him to go home. He was cold and hungry, so he had to go back to his daughter's house himself. Arriving at the door, he saw that the door was closed and his daughter's family were eating New Year's Eve dinner under the lamp in front of the hall. As soon as I saw the sky, it was dark. In desperation, I still have to knock on my daughter's door. When the daughter saw her father, she pretended to blame herself and said, "I forgot my father in my later years and was guilty!" "

Xue Shougong stayed up all night and hurried home the next morning. In front of the hut at the foot of the mountain, I saw a woman hoeing and sowing amaranth. He stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, I still have three years of amaranth seeds at home. I wonder if I can get them out after the broadcast? " The woman replied, "the old man, as long as he is fertile, will give birth."

After returning home, he went to a friend's house in the village called Feng for a drink. Drinking and drinking, he sighed, and Feng Youren asked why. So he told the story of his visit to his daughter's house. He said he felt helpless and sad now. I really want to get married and have children so that I can have a good old age. But at his age, whose daughter will marry him? Feng's friend took advantage of his drunkenness and said that he was willing to marry one of his daughters. It turns out that Feng's friend has three daughters, none of whom are married. Xue Shougong complained to him, in fact, in order to get a woman. Now his friend promised to teach him how to be unhappy. I had a good time and then went home.

The next day, Feng's friend excused himself after drinking and was surprised to remember that he had promised his daughter to marry Xue Shougong. I don't know how to mention it to his daughter. However, once you make a promise, how can you go back on your word? No, he had to pretend to be ill in bed.

When the eldest daughter heard the news, she went into the house to visit and saw her father flushed. Is this morbid? Somehow. Friend Feng said that suffering in my heart is not a physical illness, but a real illness. The eldest daughter asked her to marry 80-year-old Xue Shougong, but she never agreed.

The next day, the second daughter sent the meal to her father's sofa and asked him why he was upset. Originally, she said she was willing to share her father's worries, but after hearing his father say that he would marry Xue Shougong, no matter how willing his father was, she didn't agree.

On the third day, the third daughter was worried when she saw that her father had not left home. She cooked chicken soup herself and brought it to bed. Looking at his thin and sad father, his youngest daughter asked her affectionately why she was worried. Rich friends said, you can't, no matter what. The third daughter said, I can't do what the elder sister and the third sister can't do. Dad, say it! Feng's friend then told Xue Shougong about his marriage to his little daughter.

Hearing this, the third daughter said, "Dad, please call him (Xue Shougong) to my house for one night, and I will give you an answer early tomorrow morning." That day, the third daughter put a big bucket of incense ashes in a urine bucket and put it in Xue Shougong's room. The next morning, she went to Xue Shougong's house, took out the urine bucket and poured out the incense ashes in the bucket. She was relieved to see that Xue Shougong's urine had soaked the bottom of the bucket last night. Tell my father that he is willing to marry Xue Shougong.

In the second year, Xue Shougong was pleased that his son was named Xing Cong. The following year, I had another son named Wen Cong. 109 died peacefully. Since his son XXIII, the clansmen have not worked in Dingxing, so a branch of Ma Yuan Shudetang took Xue Shougong as its ancestor and built an ancestral temple for it to show that it did not forget the achievements of its prosperous family.

Legend of the Five Tigers and General Shi: Qing Kang. In the dry years, many people in Ma Yuan went out to do business and made a lot of money. Going home to build temples, paving roads and bridges, the village is extremely prosperous. There are also many wealthy families who use money to buy land in Fuliang Tianbao area. In its heyday, most of Tianbao's fertile land belonged to Ma Yuan people, all of which were cultivated by local tenant farmers. At that time, in order to facilitate the collection of rent food, the village owners built houses in foreign villages for production, and their lives were quite comfortable.

There are talented people in Tianbao, and they are impatient to see Ma Yuan people gradually encroaching on the floating beam field, but relying on Ma Yuan people with deep pockets is helpless. In desperation, they had a plan to falsely accuse the people of Ma Yuan of rebellion! Tianbao scholars sat together all night, wrote down complaints and sent them to the capital by the official express flight.

That day, Emperor Qianlong went to court and was shocked to read this book. It looks like this: Mayuan Village, Xinjiang, where the five tigers guard the faucet and the general takes the water intake; There are eighteen pawn shops on Ma Yuan Bridge, and there are seventy-mile shrimp mountain and eighty-mile shrimp cave. Nowadays, horses have more food than Tianbaotang. Ask the imperial court to send troops to suppress it as soon as possible, so as to avoid endless future trouble. Gan Long said angrily, "Little Xiaomayuan Village doesn't want to serve the country. If you dare to call it a dragon and tiger, kill me and call it my heart. " With a stroke of a pen, Zhu sent the imperial edict to the state capital and mobilized troops to suppress thieves.

Hearing this, the little Shenyang adults were busy talking, and the emperor calmed down. He said: "Now that the world is stable and the people are happy, there are eighteen pawn shops in a small mountain village?" How can you say that the tiger wants to rebel and rob other people's land? Do you want to send someone to visit and verify before making a decision? "

Gan Long then sent Hu Daren, who was in charge of Anhui government affairs at that time, to Wuyuan for an unannounced visit. Mr Hu disguised himself as a businessman and came to Ma Yuan in a simple suit. Take a look, the villagers come and go, the school books are loud, and there is no sign of rebellion. As night fell, he secretly put ten beautiful copper chimneys at ten gates. After breakfast the next day, he went to the doors of these houses and saw ten chimneys intact. In this way, he tried many alleys in the village for several nights, and there was no shortage of pipes.

On this day, he wants to talk to some people and ask about the situation in the village. Walking through Dengxian Lane, I saw a woman with a child coming from a distance. A 60-year-old man was resting on a stone bench by the roadside. He stood up respectfully and greeted the woman. Mr. Hu didn't understand what this meant and asked the old man why. The old man told him that the child in that woman's arms just now was his uncle, or "uncle in her arms". Why didn't uncle get up to meet him? !

Mr. Hu was frightened. How can such a country with simple folk customs and a good knowledge of books and manners be a village that plunders money and occupies an area with infidelity? Then he sat down and asked the reasons in Tianbao's complaint one by one. Hearing this, the old man replied with a smile: "The five tigers guard the dragon's head, and the five tigers referred to are the five big maple trees in Lingtou, Shangcun; The general regards General Shuikou as two big stones in Shuikou River in Xiacun. There are eighteen pawn shops on the so-called Ma Yuan Bridge, all of which are eighteen dung tanks, and they are placed by the Ma Yuan Bridge, which is a little far from the village, in order to maintain hygiene. Seventy-mile shrimp mountain and eighty-mile shrimp cave are a hill behind the village, and there is a small cave on the mountain; As for the lack of food in Ma Yuan, it is even more nonsense to violate Tianbaotang. The land there is earned by thrifty and dedicated villagers, and the annual rent is enough for the villagers to eat and wear, which is in line with national laws. How can Ma Yuan people go against Tianbaotang and beg for food? !

Lord Hu looked around, and it was true. The next day, I returned to Beijing and truthfully reported to the court that a storm had subsided.

Legend of the Five Tigers: There are five big maple trees in Shuiduiling at the head of Shangcun Village in Changxi, all of which are more than 25 meters high. It is said that the ancestors of the village came here to choose the village site, and I wonder if the people and animals here can survive. On the way back, he pulled out five small maple trees and chopped the saplings upside down, saying that if these trees can survive next year, it means that this place is suitable for people and animals to live in. The next spring, five maple trees were full of vitality. I chose an auspicious day to move here. If you look closely today, you will find that the roots and trunks of these five maples are roughly the same in diameter. The old people said that this was because the trees were carried backwards at that time. Trees are the ancestors of the village and have been honored as sacred trees for generations. Now they stand tall at the head of the village, flourishing, guarding the peace of the village and the prosperity of people and animals. Everyone in the village respects them as the Five Tigers who defend Liu Bei. It is said that these five fierce tigers hold the head of the village. Only in this way can our village be safe and happy.

The legend of Guihuakeng: It is said that there lived a kind village woman in ancient times. One winter, it was freezing. Hardly had she opened the door when she saw a beggar lying outside. Touch the man's nose and mouth, and there is still some breath. Take him home and fill him with hot soup first. The man slowly woke up and said excitedly, I am a paralyzed person. If I go out, I will starve to death. Please be kind and take me in for a few more days. "Village women think, always can't watch him freeze to death and starve to death! Nod yes and let him stay for a while. Ten days later, the man recovered and left without saying goodbye. Another day, the village woman met a white-haired old man on the hillside, carrying a load of dry wood and walking hard. She was about to help when the old man suddenly fell down and dry wood was scattered all over the floor. The old man kept his mouth shut for two days, his lips trembled, and he shouted weakly, "Water, water, ..." What about the water on the barren hills and slopes? She immediately bit her middle finger, and suddenly, she was bleeding profusely. She put her finger on the old man's mouth and he suddenly disappeared. A breeze blew and a yellow cloth bag fluttered in the sky. There are many small yellow paper bags in the bag, and there is a note inside, which reads: The Moon Palace gives laurel seeds, flowers are full of longevity, and flowers are collected to make fragrant tea to reward good people. The village woman realized that both the paralyzed person and the old man who collected firewood were bought by Wu Gang. The village women planted cassia seeds on both sides of the mountain by the stream opposite the village, and soon the osmanthus trees grew up, making the mountain sweet and even the stream sweet. Every year, she picks sweet-scented osmanthus and dries it, and gives it to every household in the village to entertain guests and make tea, which attracts guests' praise and makes the village radiant. Since then, osmanthus trees have been planted in Changxi and spread all over Shan Ye. And the stream carrying osmanthus trees is also called osmanthus pit.

Watching lanterns on the Lantern Festival is a custom of Chinese villagers. The specific records began in the late Ming Dynasty and developed greatly during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The length of Changxi Lantern Festival is well known. It lasts *** 10 days and nights, from the eighth day of the first month, the Lantern Festival on the twelfth day of the first month, the silkworm night on the fourteenth day of the first month, the snacks on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the Lantern Festival on the seventeenth day of the first month. In the past, the dragon lanterns in Changxi were also famous for a while. Generally, the dragon head and the dragon tail are made by the "Dragon Club", and the other exquisite lanterns are made by the villagers themselves, with more than 500 lanterns. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, relatives and friends from all over the country flock to them, and they won't enjoy themselves until after the 17th Lantern Festival. Most of the exquisite lanterns made during the Lantern Festival are made by famous paper-binding artists in the village. They often go to the countryside to study. In ancient times, artists who tied lanterns were often busy preparing materials and making samples in the twelfth lunar month of the first year, and began to tie various lantern parts. If there are any lanterns with exquisite styles, you should tell them clearly, otherwise it will be too late to make them temporarily, because there are hundreds of lanterns in the village and faucet lights in each room. It is really enough for several artists. On the eighth day of the first month, exquisite lanterns began to show the melody of lanterns. The fifteenth day of the first month is the climax. The dragon lantern team at the head of the village came out, and the young people in the village competed with each other. The real lantern festival began and didn't end until the 17th.

Changxi Lantern Festival is a comprehensive art composed of various technologies, crafts, decorative techniques and materials. There are many kinds of lanterns, including dragon lanterns, lanterns, lanterns and gauze lanterns. Their shapes are round, square, cylindrical and polygonal. Dragon lantern, also known as "dragon dance", is one of the folk forms of light dance. There is a faucet in front of the dragon lantern. The number of joints in the middle of the body varies, but it is generally singular. There is a stick under each joint for support. During the dance, one person plays dragon with colored beads, four people rotate with the beads with a faucet, and many others each hold an accompaniment, tilting up and down, dancing left and right, gongs, cymbals and drums cooperating, and firecrackers ringing in unison, which is very spectacular. There is a compliment in the village: the gongs and drums in the village next door are on the village lights, which is nice and pleasant.

Palace lanterns are named because they are mostly made and used by palaces and officials. It is mainly made of wood, bamboo and iron wire, and then inlaid with red and white paper. Gauze, silk and glass are exquisite works, and there are various auspicious and festive themes such as mountains and rivers, flowers and birds, fish and insects, people and so on. The shapes of palace lanterns are very rich, including square, hexagonal, octagonal, round bead, flower basket and many other varieties, especially hexagonal palace lanterns. Lantern is a unique decorative lamp in the art of lanterns. Usually, a wheel is placed inside the lantern, and images of various figures, flowers and birds cut with colored paper are pasted on it. When the candle is lit under the wheel, the hot air rises, causing air convection, making the wheel rotate and the paper image rotate with it. The picture is continuous, dynamic and attractive. The performance styles are: Dragon Gate Array, Eight Diagrams Array and Youlong Array. The gauze lamp is made of hemp yarn or hemp fabric, mostly round or oval. Red gauze lanterns, also known as red lanterns, are red all over, and the upper and lower parts of the lanterns are decorated with moire patterns, which are beautiful and generous, festive and auspicious, and are often hung on festivals.

In the past, the village held the Dragon Lantern Festival every year. After liberation, this kind of scene was rare, and almost all the lantern artists in the village died. A few years ago, the villagers spontaneously organized a lantern festival. According to their childhood memories, we made lanterns that we hadn't seen for many years. More than 20 kinds of nearly 300 lanterns were exhibited. At night, they light the lights and patrol the village. The light reflects people and flowers and birds, and with the whole dragon lantern, it is even more magnificent. More than 2000 people visited the village, enriching the festival cultural life of the village.

In the new residential buildings in Changxi, the roof truss is erected first, and then the walls are sealed with tiles. The roof truss is the wedding day, and friends and relatives will come to congratulate. There is a beam in the roof truss, which is very particular. When logging, tie the rope and support it with a wooden horse. You must never touch the ground. Two men were cut down from the mountain and carried home, covered with red cloth and accompanied by rustling. When placing the beam, golden flowers are inserted at both ends of the beam and hung on the wooden horse. People are forbidden to cross the beam. Pig's head, fish, chicken and other offerings are placed in front of you, and a pair of candles are lit. Then the landlord put incense on the beam, and then the carpenter sprinkled grains, chanted hymns, carried flagons, and sacrificed to the gods in all directions, ending the ceremony of praising the beam. In the sound of firecrackers, the offerings were removed and the beam was placed on the beam. The carpenter praised again, and everyone drank in unison. At this time, the skillful craftsman licked the chicken with the carpenter's axe in one hand and the rooster in the other, and then painted the chicken blood on the eaves of the main hall to ward off evil spirits. Roof tiles should be built on bright days. In the 1970s, most marriages in Changxi still strictly followed the orders of parents. A marriage can be roughly divided into four stages: matchmaking, engagement, ceremony and marriage. Generally, there are seven procedures: matchmaking, decision-making, decision-making, wedding, meeting the bride, making trouble in the bridal chamber and returning to the door. After the above stages and procedures, marriage is being married in the media, and the old marriage customs are full of red tape, many of which are superstitious. After 1980s, parents' arranged marriage was gradually replaced by free love, and the marriage was simple. Many customs have been abolished now.

Changxi people advocate etiquette and pay attention to interpersonal relationships. People respect each other and treat each other with courtesy. "Too much oil is not bad for vegetables, and many people don't blame it." This can be reflected in the villagers' appellation and daily courtesy. The word "good" is usually added before addressing. For example, brothers call their brothers "good brothers", sisters call them "good sisters" and elders call them "leaves", such as "uncles" and "uncles". All elderly people are regarded as "good men" and "good women". The most common polite expressions in communication are "nothing (you're welcome)", "offended", "congratulations", "please", "never mind", "I'm sorry" and "it's really hard for you". These polite expressions are the lubricant for people to live in harmony. The villagers are very polite. Naughty children may not be able to do what adults ask, so they will be called "nobody teaches". Pay attention to equivalence. One-sided politeness cannot last. The guests are very enthusiastic. Please sit down first and offer tea and cigarettes to the guests at once. If it is a rare guest, the host will cook, put five poached eggs in front of the guests, cook and buy wine as a companion, and will try his best to keep the guests. People in Changxi miss their ancestors, and they worship their ancestors every New Year holiday, which is called "respect for ancestors". The table of the Eight Immortals is full of sacrifices, burning money and cigarettes wrapped around it, and the whole family pays homage to the center in turn. Every time you go to Tomb-Sweeping Day, you should pay homage to the grave, give the deceased "clothes" and "gold and silver", and pray for the "blessing" of the deceased's family and the growth of their children. When children grow up, they are sent to "school" to study. Nowadays, children's schooling is still called "schooling", and the villagers spare no effort in reading and education. Parents urge their children to study, or an old saying goes: "Don't rush to read and write". Teach children to "study hard" and "learn from details".

The dishes cooked by Changxi people are very famous nearby. It is famous for cooking delicious food, such as steamed stone chicken with powder, stewed stone chicken, stuffy chicken and steamed red carp. The soup is delicious and the shade is suitable. There are also roast pork and fish, which are boneless and crispy. Changxi is a mountainous area, and there are many kinds of delicacies, which constitute the uniqueness of the main seasoning of Changxi cuisine. Winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, mushrooms, black fungus, dried bracken, coriander, shepherd's purse, purslane, day lily, etc. It used to be wild and collected in the wild. They are all very delicious treasures, and the steamed vegetables, soup and soup in the village are unique and unforgettable for the guests. The fragrant tofu made by each family is crisp and slippery; Pickled sour peppers are crispy and sweet, so they are especially fragrant and delicious.

Specialty products include "Stone Chicken", "Turtle", "Eagle Head Turtle", "Red Carp Boiled in Cold Water" and "Fish in Cold Water Pond". The fish in changxi are different from those in other places. This kind of fish is famous for its tender meat and delicious taste. If it's dry, it'll be crispy and the fish's bones will get stuck in the throat. Green tea is famous for its clear soup and mellow taste. In the Qing Dynasty, there were villagers in our village doing business with "foreigners" in Guangdong. At that time, it was "a load of tea and a basket of silver", which shows that the tea in our village was famous and precious at that time. Nowadays, the whole village pays close attention to the transformation of tea gardens and early harvesting and early refining, which is the main production base of famous tea in our province, and tea income is also the main source of villagers' economic income. Winter bamboo shoots and kiwifruit yield is considerable.

There are two religions in the village: Buddhism and Taoism. Islam, Catholicism and Christianity are rarely heard in the village. The villagers mainly believe in Buddhism. After the founding of New China, especially since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, a new generation of young people have been active in their thoughts. Nowadays, most of the villagers who truly believe in Buddhism and Taoism are elderly people, and Buddhism and Taoism are getting lower and lower. There are no professional believers and Taoists in the village, and there are four small temples beside the village head.
