"Historical Words" Aijiakou: Ancient town ruins v. bustling

Gui Shihui/Wen

"First there is Aijiakou, and then there is Damingcheng." Aijiakou is Aijiakou Ancient Town, and Daming City is the Ming and Qing Dynasty Damingfu City. In the third year of Ming Jianwen (1401), the Wei River broke through, and the Northern Song Dynasty Damingfu City was destroyed in a flood, and in September of that year, zhu Di, the King of Yan, commanded Wu Cheng to build the Damingfu City in the north of Aijiakou Town, and the history of Aijiakou Town was far earlier than the history of damingfu city in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Aijiakou is a famous commercial and trade ancient town in the history of Daming County, which flourished because of the Water Transport of the Wei River, and declined due to the diversion of the Wei River, which is a typical Weihe town. Today, in the administrative division of Daming County, the title of Aijiakou has long ceased.

"Where is Ai Jiakou?" With this question, wandering south of Daming City, walking through the streets and alleys, I couldn't find any traces of Aijiakou. Aijiakou, which was once prosperous, is slowly being forgotten by the world, and its glory is faintly flashed in the literature.

01

Aijiakou, the name of the province where ai surnamed Renjia ferry port is located. The river crossed by the Ai family is the drainage trunk canal on the east side of the south kanto of today's Daming Castle, and its predecessor is the Wei River, that is, the sui and Tang Grand Canal in history, and before the Tang Dynasty was the Tunshi River Old Road of dayu zhishui. In 2286 BC, Dayu ruled the water here.

The Book of The History of the River Canal records that when Dayu was governing the Yellow River, he "used the second canal to lead its river", and the two tributaries of the Yellow River excavated by Dayu were: one was the small diversion river on the east side of the south of the present-day Daming City, that is, the Tunshi River in the "Notes on the Water Classics"; the other was the Yellow River Ancient Road in present-day Weidong, that is, the Great River In the Notes on the Water Classics. Three years after the founding of the new country (11 years), the northern flow of the Tunshi River was cut off. In the third year of Emperor Dezong of Tang's reign (782), Wei Bo made Tian Yue rebel against Tang, and Ma Fushuai made a five-knot rebellion against Tian Yue, and on June 30, Tian Yue changed the Yongji Canal into the Wang Mang River, flooding the Tang army, and the Tang army's grain route and retreat road were cut off, and was forced to beg and retreat. In November of that year, Tian Yue changed Wei Prefecture to Daming Prefecture. This war caused the Grand Canal to begin to flow through Aijiakou, and also gave Wei Prefecture the good name of DamingFu. Six hundred years later, in the third year of Ming Jianwen (1401), Zhu Di and his nephew Jianwen competed for the emperor's throne and decided to defend the river flooding the Daming Mansion, causing Aijiakou to intersect with the Daiming Mansion again.

Today, the Grand Canal has been listed on the World Heritage List, and as the ancient town of Aijiakou on the banks of the Grand Canal, it is also a body and glory.

The ancient town of Aijiakou began in the late Tang Dynasty at the ferry port of the Ai family, and developed into an economic town on the Grand Canal in the Jin Dynasty.

"On the shores of the Wei River, the residents gather, boats and cars come and go, and the merchants and merchants gather." During the Ming Yongle years, with the construction of Beijing's transportation of materials and the transportation of water through the Xingwei River, the town of Aijiakou, located at the waterway wharf, reached its peak. During the Ming Jiajing period, the Wei river was diverted, and the status of Aijiakou gradually declined.

During the qing shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, the governors of the three provinces of Shandong and Henan were stationed in Damingfu, the political and military centers of the three provinces of Zhilu and Yu, and the huge consumption of military and political personnel directly stimulated the economic development of Damingfu, so that Aijiakou Town appeared to be prosperous. The "Monument to the New Yi Place of Aijiakou and Other Towns" records this as follows: "Although I went to Dingding, although the two rivers migrated to him, the taiwan stationed in the festival, the three provinces spoke, the people were still accustomed to their business, settled down, and the fireworks did not go into depression... Since the tooth withdrawal, the county town is not the same as the year. The family has no property of the middle man, and the disciples of a Jia trader are also, so they often sit on the silk ... Therefore, the people are not happy with their lives, they are scattered, that is, there are widows and ruins, and the decay is full of eyes. ”

Later, relying on the advantages of the city, the Nanguan of the Damingfu City rose and replaced the status of Aijiakou, and the town of Aijiakou was divided into several villages. Volume VII of the Republic of China's "Chronicle of Daming County" records: "Aijiakou is at the end of Nanguan, three miles from the city, on the north bank of the Yuhe River, and the former Shuiyi of the Yuan Dynasty." Mingwei town, more than a thousand residents. See Yang Shouyu's "Monument to the Repair of the Temple in the Paper Mill". Today, the three villages of Paper Mill, Cheche Camp and Tofu Camp seem to be part of the town. ”

There is a Zhenwu Temple in the northeast of Xiao cross street outside the south gate of Daming Castle, and the sleeping stele of the thirty-seventh year of Ming Jiajing (1558) inside the temple has this record:

"According to the names of Suzhou and other villagers in Nanguan, Benguan Cross Street, there was originally an ancient temple of Zhenwu Temple, and the well in front of the door had two eyes, and it was obsolete for a long time." The town of Aijiakou and Nanguan existed at the same time. The ming orthodox "Chronicle of the Daimyofu" volume II records that "Fumin Street and Anping Street are in the south pass of Fucheng". Fumin Street and Anping Street are the street names of Nanguan Xiaoshi Street, the southernmost section of Xiaoshi street is the Fire Temple (now the office of the two committees of Sanpu Village), and the area of Nanguan Xiaoshi Street at that time is today's first shop (Gonggongli) and the second shop (Boaili). Today's Nanguan administers six villages of one, two, three (Tongjili), Jinjiatan (Deshengli), Kuanggongdi (Leshanli), and Xiyang Village, of which only three shops and Kuanggongdi belong to Aijiakou Ancient Town, and Aijiakou Town overlaps with the jurisdiction of today's Nanguan.

Qing Xianfeng's "Chronicle of the DaimingFu" records that in the first year of Xianfeng (1851), "donated funds to rebuild the river temple on the high bank of Nanguan (i.e., Aijiakou), and the Zhangwei Dragon God was worshipped." This "high shore" is the earliest residence of the Ai surname ferry family - Ai Jiakou. "High Shore" was built on Yangping Road in the north of present-day Tofuying Village and south of Sanpu Village, and "On the High Shore" was leveled into a roadbed. When it developed from the small village of Aijiakou on the high shore to the town of Aijiakou, the area of the town was today's Sanpu Village and Tofu Camp. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, with the establishment of water stations, delivery offices and other institutions, the area of Aijiakou Town rapidly expanded to Panchang, Paper Mill, Dai Di, and Kuang Gong Di.

The Ming Dynasty Chronicle of the Daimyo records that:

"Shuiyi, in the south of the county town of Aijiakou, went to the city of Yili Xu, Yongle was built in the first year."

"Hebo, on the shore of the Wei River in Aijiakou, south of the city, goes to the city for a mile, and Hongwu Sixteen Years County Cheng Jiang Fu Shou Jian."

"The delivery office, in the northeast of the county, on the edge of the Aijiakou Wei River." In the sixth year of Yongle, Liu Zongxinjian of Zhixian County. ”

The former site of Aijiakoukou Yi was southeast of the present-day Kuanggongdi Village and west of the Wei River. The address of the river berth is unknown, and Qing Yongzheng's "Wei County Chronicle" also records that Wei County set up a river berth in Aijiakou, and the address is unknown.

The delivery station set up at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of the Military Department, which was responsible for transporting materials, and the village of Panchang south of present-day Yangping Road was named Checheying and Zhangjiachang before the Republic of China, and checheying camp was obviously named after the delivery station, and Zhangjiachang was obviously named after the material distribution center. During the Ming Yongle period, when Beijing was built, Aijiakou set up a kiln factory to burn city bricks and take advantage of the convenience of the WeiHe River to transport them to Beijing. Aijiakou Kiln Factory is now Kiln Factory Village, and the fields between Panchang Village and Kiln Factory Village are scattered with a large number of old brick kiln sites, and these fired city bricks are transported to Panchang Village and transported to Beijing with the help of the WeiHe River. After the kiln factory was abandoned, some of the kiln workers did not leave, and later formed a village, which is still named after the kiln factory.

In today's terms, Aijiakou Ancient Town includes Sanpu, KuanggongDi and Tofu Camp, Panchang, Paper Mill and Daidi in Jiuzhi Township, and Kiln Factory Village was the place where Aijiakou Town fired city bricks at that time, and did not belong to the area of Aijiakou Ancient Town. The area of Aijiakou Town far exceeded that of the county seat of Daming County (the seat of government in present-day Jiuzhi Village), and was almost comparable to the city of Damingfu.

Aijiakou Town has a history of more than 3,300 years of civilization, and its relatively clear administrative subordination was in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when it was subordinate to Guixiang County.

Wudai Guixiang County was renamed Guangjin County and Daming County, and Aijiakou belonged to it. The Northern Song Dynasty belonged to Tongtaili, Daming County, and because Daming County was once abolished into Yuancheng County, it was changed to Yuancheng County.

Jinyuan was descended to the town of Aijiakou in Daming County. After the Kangxi Qing Dynasty, it was abandoned as a village, and the sanpu and Kuanggongdi to the north later became part of Nanguan, and the south was divided into Zhangjiachang, Paper Mill, Tofu Camp, Checheying Camp, and Daidi. During the Republic of China period, it belonged to the second district of Daming County.

During the Japanese and pseudo-japanese periods, Sanpu and Kuanggongdi Nanguan Town. From July 1945 to 1949, it belonged to the southern part of Daming City and the southwest suburbs.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Sanpu and Kuanggongdi belonged to Chengguan Town, and Zhangjiachang, PaperFang, Tofu Camp, Checheying and Daidi belonged to the third district of Daming County. In 1953, it was divided into Chengguan Town and Jiuzhi Township. In 1958, it belonged to Chengguan Town People's Commune. In 1961, it was divided into Chengguan Town and Jiuzhi People's Commune. In March 1984, the Old Zhi People's Commune was changed to the Old Zhi Township.

There is a well-known ecstasy array in Aijiakou, and it is extremely easy for people to get lost when they walk here, such as if you walk southeast along Small Cross Street, and when you walk out of the village, you will find yourself facing west. Legend has it that this is because Mu Guiying in the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to defeat the Liao army, swung the Heavenly Gate Array here, resulting in people losing their sense of direction as soon as they enter the village.

The legend is a legend, and the reason why the Aijiakou Ecstasy Array is caused by the pull of the Wei River. Because the Weihe River is southwest and northeast, the streets and alleys and housing buildings of Aijiakou Ancient Town are laid along the riverbank, which is different from the layout of the houses in other places that are north-south, square, and pursue stability, and people are most likely to get lost when they walk into it, which is very similar to the streets and alleys of Tianjin.

Aijiakou is a livable town. The idyllic natural environment, the long humanistic history, the rich cultural accumulation, the bustling town and city, and the convenient transportation have created a superior living environment, attracting the family to retire and live, the rich merchants to buy property, and the literati to enjoy the tour.

Fei Gun also praised his "Table of Passing Que Xie" for its exquisite use of affairs and skillful writing, and its integrity is as cold as the frost and the scorching sun (Liangxi Manzhi, vol. 3). Su Shi tasted the Yuanyou character and said, "The true iron man of the instrument! ”。 He is the author of twenty volumes of the Collected Writings, thirteen volumes of the Collected Sayings of the Complete Speeches, and ten volumes of the Tongjian Yinyi. Liu Anshi's hometown stele, the Republic of China's "Daming County Chronicle" contains photos, originally outside Liuhe Village, now missing.
