There is a basic unit of survival in the world called the village, there is a group of people who are not related by blood but are very closely related, called the villagers, and there is a feeling that is more rare than family affection called nostalgia.
None of those who come from the countryside do not have an inextricable relationship with the village and the village party, and many things, without the backing of the village, we will not be able to move forward. Since Pangu opened the world, since human beings evolved from primitive tribes to villages as a living unit, especially as an agricultural country, there are too many stories that happen in the village, the village has its own value of the existence of the village, the village has its own village culture, in a sense, a Chinese history, but also a village change history, humanistic history.
It is just that in the process of thousands of years of change in the village, there is always one thing that remains unchanged, that is, the feelings of the township party, from King Wu of Zhou to Qin Shi Huang, from Li Shimin to Mao Zedong, although the society is changing, but the friendship and interdependence between the villagers in the village will never change.
If you want to ask how many villages there are in China now, tell you: according to 2021 statistics, there are more than 2.617 million natural villages and more than 690,000 administrative villages in the country.
At this point, Li Laohan's family can put their minds at ease, and the problem that has been suffering for more than twenty years has finally been successfully and satisfactorily solved. This is the villager, this is the village, this is the village wind, this is the soul of the village. Linjiazhai Village is very small, there are a hundred and dozens of households in the whole population, but everyone is united, simple, a family has a problem, the whole village helps, and they are very real, very hardworking.
What is called a village, this is called a village! A family can not complete the task, everyone to help, together to complete. What cannot be done by one family, everyone works together.
In the village, who has a few families, where they live, where the back door is, they are all clear, people and people are very familiar, listen to the voice, look at the back to know who it is. She said that this village is a neighboring village within a few miles, and everyone knows each other.
In the village, as long as people are at home in the daytime, the gate is always open, with a rice bowl you can go to the door, even other people's relatives can recognize, usually, the villagers work together, call the companions to go to the set together, go to Tangyu to bathe together, go into the mountains together in the past, crawl together for a lifetime, unlike the city's community, each family enters the door first to close the door, the door also has to make a hole, called cat's eye, someone knocks on the door, the owner first sees from the cat's eye, what is the person, everyone lives in a community, do not know each other, Even if the noodles are familiar, they don't talk, and even the people next door don't interact.
In the village, the red and white happy events, are all to help each other, our village is small, a family affair, the whole village with the gift, called the township party ceremony. Please help, call the deacon, the same production team, who is not invited by the master's family to help as a deacon, the heart is still uncomfortable, feel that they have no face, no matter who, no matter where you work, no matter how much money you earn a day, as long as the master's family has a phone, without saying a word, rush back to the village to help, this is the village culture, this is the township party nostalgia.
Having said that, I might as well tell you a little story. It is said that we have a big village in Huangfuchuan, a teacher surnamed Zhang, working in the county, the village township party has been in trouble, asked him to help, Teacher Zhang asked the Education Bureau for leave, the Education Bureau is not allowed, saying that you eat imperial food, you want to take leave to help the people in the village, no. Teacher Zhang was anxious and asked: "Hey, if my mother is old in the future, will it be the people from the Education Bureau who will bury it or the people in our village?" Yes, there is nothing wrong with this, no matter how big the official, the village will always be the root, and the family will have to rely on the people in the village. Of course, the final result was that Teacher Zhang returned to the village to serve as a deacon for the township party.

In addition to helping in the village, for thousands of years, who in the village built a house, in addition to the craftsmen, other small workers are villagers to help, my family in 1989 when building a house, it is by the township party to help, at that time everyone was like this, we Linjiazhai village is small, a house is built, almost every family in the village has to come to help, the relationship is particularly good, but also to help for a few days, this has become a villager who does not have clear provisions to consciously abide by the township rules and regulations, of course, I have also helped others to build houses.
Now the situation is different, big workers and small workers are taking money to call people, which is also considered to keep pace with the times, everyone is convenient, in general, it also saves the cost of building a house, and everyone has less trouble. However, when it comes to the capping, it still needs the help of the township party, and there are many people who use the steel bar to tie the steel bar, and the concrete pulp also needs the help of the township party. The township party in our village is very good, and sometimes it is still very touching.
In 2016, my family built three concierges, tied steel bars on the day, the day it rained, but the villagers said, everyone has come, do not go back, the rain also has to finish the work, everyone wears straw hats, some bring ponchos from home, many people's clothes are soaked by the rain, but no one left, some people know late, is watching the rain to help. This is the villagers, this is the township party nostalgia, you say, this spirit is precious? Touching isn't it?
Together with the above burial father (the above mentioned Li Laohan is actually not someone else, it is the father), this house building is an important reason for me to write this article. Here, please let me say to my Lin Jiazhai Township Party: Thank you! I have taught myself for decades, my time at home is limited, and my help to the township party is limited, and the township party is so sincere to me. When I buried my father, my niece said to me: Uncle, your villagers helped me very well, really very much, and respected things very much!

In the past, the residence of families with the same surname in the village was relatively concentrated, for example, there was a Zhoujiataitai in Kuyukou Village, where the Zhou family surnamed zhou was concentrated, and Xiaojiapo had a Lijia Lane and Liujiataitai. For example, Xiao Jiapo, Sun Jiapo, Yao Jiazhai, Houjia Village, Tianjia Village, Wang Jia bian, Zhao Po, Gaojiazhuang, GaoBao, Tangzhuang, Hongjiazhai, MaYuan, Hujiapo, Gong Baozi, Qujiawowo, Chen Jiashan, Li Jia, Chejia, Chen Jiayan, Sun Jiayan, Baijiapo, Chejiayan, Xiaolingtou, and more.
In the past, the household registration management was not strict, life was difficult, and the population flow was large, and the Li family in Linjiazhai was migrated from Changjiagou in Chang'an County, and now it is about three hundred years. In our Linjiazhai village, there is a very small production team, all surnamed Wang, living alone in a place, our name is Sanyao'er, there are only fourteen households. Why is it called a three-kiln? That's because the three brothers surnamed Wang fled to come here, the flat land in the village had long been occupied, so the brothers had to choose a place on the hillside not far from the village that faced the east to the sun and backed the hillside to avoid the west wind, and played three sides of the kiln to live, there was a ditch in front of the cave, there was water in the bottom of the slope behind the house, there was water in front of the house, there was water behind the house, there was water behind the house, called Erlong Play Pearl, the slope behind the house was like a chair back, and in the north, the soil of the kiln was piled up, and the hillside on the south side formed two handrails of the chair, so it was a treasure of feng shui. The two brothers opened up land here to cultivate land and settle down, and because the three brothers lived in the three-sided kiln, people called it the three kilns. Later, three courtyard houses were built, called South Head, Upper Court, and Lower Courtyard, which have been developed to the current fourteen. You also said that don't look at them living in Banpo, the people of the three kilns are beautiful, and there are slips of the tongue: the three kilns are a good place, the feng shui treasure shines, the male and female babies are beautiful, and the daughter-in-law Sai Haitang is married.
Linjiazhai people, like the vast number of peasants in China, are simple and kind, hospitable and tolerant, and the people of Sanyao are also kind and friendly, so soon the Wang surname township party of Sanyao is regarded as their own brother by Linjiazhai people, and they are admitted to a village, which is called Linjiazhai Village. The New Year is lively, beating gongs and drums, and the three kilns must be walked once.
The people of our village, everyone treats each other as equals, don't look at the three kilns, Chen Guijuan of the three kilns, who has been the director of the women's federation in our village for a long time, and Wang Zhenjie, a capable person (the descendant of the three courtyards in the courtyard at the beginning), has been the deputy director of the village's Revolutionary Committee and has been an electrician for many years. This is the village, where everyone lives in harmony, respects each other and depends on each other.
Now, Linjiazhai Village and Yaojiazhai Village have been merged into one administrative village, collectively known as Yaolinzhai Village. Yaojiazhai Village and Linjiazhai Village are very similar, there is also a very small production team, called Chejia, all surnamed Che, originally lived alone on the high slope, but the generous Yaojiazhai villagers still put the kind Che family as outsiders, unified into Yaojiazhai Village, there are things to help each other.
Later, in the early 1980s, under the leadership of village cadre Che Xingji and team leader Wang Zhenkai (the descendant of the three courtyards), the chejiazhai village of Yaojiazhai village and the three small production teams of Linjiazhai village moved from the high slope to the flat area, which not only facilitated transportation, but also had closer ties with the whole village.
According to the new statistics, there are more than 2.617 million natural villages in the country, more than 690,000 administrative villages, village culture, deeply rooted in generations of villagers, there is reason to believe that all the people in the village are the same as yao linzhai people, regardless of Zhang Wang Li Zhao, no matter the size of the family, regardless of the first to come, everyone treats each other equally, helps each other, and is in the same boat, because our ancestors have received the education of Kong Shengren for generations. You tell me?

The village culture is indeed rich in connotation. Every village has a variety of talents, and every village has such and such a story. From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, from security defense to daily life, from the improvement of production and living conditions to the rise of cultural and recreational activities, from marriage and funeral to building houses and courtyards, from dignitaries and dignitaries to ordinary people, there are village imprints everywhere.
Speaking of the collective defense of the village, you may wish to listen to me a story that my father once told, saying that before liberation, bandits ran rampant, sometimes to the rich people's homes to arrest people, that is, now said kidnapping, used to be called kidnapping tickets, bandits kidnapped tickets for ransom, at that time our Li family was a variety of acres of land, the economic conditions were slightly better, there was a time when the bandits were very fierce, they used large stones to smash the street door of our family with a scar, but there were three passes inside the door, and then used wooden bars to block the top horizontally, and also leaned on the top of the coffin. So the door didn't get slammed open. The door is still in use, and the scars on the door leaf can still be seen. The next day, our family went to Xiaojiapo Village, known as the first village in the south of Xi'an, to take refuge in the four groups of my aunt's house in Xiaonan Village, and the place where their family lived, at that time, was called Zhaobi Alley, which was close to the middle of the village, which was relatively safe.
Father said that Xiaopo village is big, there are powerful people, and there are many people, there were once bandits who entered Xiaopo Village and were broken legs, and since then, bandits have never dared to enter Xiaopo Village, and the big deal is to harass them in the shops on the edge of the village, and they dare not go deeper.
Now the society is better and more stable, but in the past, the defensive function was indeed a kind of culture of the village! This function began thousands of years ago, when people gathered to take care of each other, at least for safety.
