       Hometown of Fuping Xiawang Village

Compared with other countries and nationalities, the culture of the home country is the excellent culture of the Chinese nation, which supports the continuous inheritance of Chinese civilization for thousands of years and is the source of cohesion of the Chinese nation. State history, land aspirations, family trees, but the lack of historical materials in the village fort, resulting in incomplete traditional culture, the village fort can do some things in this regard, engage in some village records, concisely and concisely record the history of the development of the village fort, enrich the traditional culture.

      Based on the historical materials of the county chronicle and combined with oral information, I have made a little exploration of the development history of Xiawang Village in my hometown for reference.

First, geographical location

Xiawang Village is located seven kilometers southwest of Fuping County, on the south bank of the Ishikawa River, and in the south-east of the Old Futan Highway.

2. Historical overview

According to the detailed historical data of Fuping County in the Ming and Qing dynasties, geographical relations, memories of ancestors and elderly villagers, as well as the main indigenous household relations and generational calculations, it can be basically confirmed that the history of the establishment of Xiawang Village is more than 200 years, probably before the 1840s, and the basic historical development process is as follows:

In 1584, the first Fuping County Chronicle of the Ming Wanli Calendar did not have relevant records of Xiawang Village (the geographical area of Xiawang Village at that time belonged to The baoli Village in Xixiang Yicheng, which is now Shiqiao Village), and considering the geographical conditions and farming environment of Xiawang Village, it is estimated that in the era of sparse population in Ming Wanli, it is estimated that in the era of sparse population in Ming Wanli, the possibility of farmers choosing to settle in this village was not very likely;

In 1740 and 1778, the two Fuping County Chronicles accurately recorded that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in the eighteenth century, the village was called Fuxing Fort, which belonged to the Second Union of Xixiang, and there were Ducun Town, Baoli Fort, Jiaochang and Wandu Village near the ancient village fort;

From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the republic of China, the historical records of the village are broken, especially the most detailed 1891 Guangxu Seventeenth Year Fuping County Chronicle of Fuping County, as well as the later documents during the Republic of China, there is no historical record of Fuxing Village, but the relevant historical materials for the village's neighboring Ducun Town and Gucunbao Teaching Field, East Canal, West Canal, Wandu Village, Zhangba Village, Phoenix Fort, North Feng Fort, Kuzhou Village have been recorded, and The Fort Li Fort was renamed Buli Village during the Guangxu Period. The analysis of the historical background may be related to the Hui Han conflict between 1862 and 1867 and the eighteen-year famine of the Republic of China, and it may be that the ethnic conflicts and natural disasters at that time led to a sharp decline in the population of the village and no longer have the conditions for independent villages, and there is a possibility that it will be incorporated into the administrative management of Buli Village or other village forts;

After the Xinhai Revolution or the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, according to the characteristics of the village's residents with the surname of Wang, as well as the characteristics of the geographical location, the village was renamed Xiawang Village, and successively belonged to the Tancun People's Commune, Tancun Township and Tancun Town. According to some people's memories of fuxing village depicted on the wall of the north gate of the village in 1958, the name change may have been changed in the 1960s.

3. The ancient city of The Village Fort

Like most of the village forts around the area, Xiawang Village also has a village fort ancient city, the ancient city is long from east to west, north and south wide structure, the east and west length is about 150 meters, the north and south width is about 70 meters, the ancient city gate is located in the middle of the north city wall, from the north gate into the city is a north-south street, along the street from north to south parallel layout of four rows of houses, a street and four alleys will divide the city into four large, four small a total of eight residential communities, the east four districts each row of residents eight households, the west four districts each row of four households, the west side of the four districts of each row of four households, The entire castle can be inhabited by 48 villagers, which is the standard size of the ancient village fort with an average of about 50 households per village during the Qing Dynasty in Fuping County. The fort was demolished in the 1960s and 1970s, and the wall soil was sprinkled into the farmland as fertilizer.

Fourth, the characteristics of villagers

Compared with the relatively single surnames of the residents of other surrounding villages, the biggest feature of the resident group of this village is the complex surname, which is a mixed village fort with multiple surnames and multi-blood families.

The residents of the village have experienced three stages of development in the residential area of the village fort, in the 1950s and 1960s and before, the main residents of Xiawang Village concentrated in the ancient village fort city, the housing is a typical first two rows of six single-sided buildings in the Guanzhong area, the last three rooms of the courtyard of the courtyard farmhouse, at the same time there are a very small number of residents (estimated to belong to the late immigrant households) in the ancient city east, west and northwest three places, the housing of these residents is obviously different from the city, all using the earth cliff to kiln caves In the 1970s and 1980s, due to the rapid increase in population, under the arrangement of the village government, many young people used the two wheat fields in the west and northwest of the village to expand the second concentrated residential area; from the end of the twentieth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century, the residents of the whole village moved to both sides of the old futan highway based on the needs of convenient transportation, forming a belt of residents along the highway, and this development and change led to the hollowing out of part of the ancient city.

The surnames of the residents of this village are complex, with the surname Of Wang being the first surname, followed by Li, Xu, Xu, Zheng and Gao, as well as the surnames of Jing, Zhou, Bai, Zhang, Mao, Wu, Yuan, Zeng, Wen and Huang. Since the composition of the residents inside and outside the ancient city in the 1950s and 1960s can accurately show the characteristics of the original residents of Xiawang Village, the following is a summary of the original resident groups and living characteristics based on the situation in the 1950s and 1960s as follows:

Wang surname: Is the earliest indigenous people of this village, there are 8 independent blood branches. The largest Wang surname is "Shao, Wan, Hua, Zhong, Zhen..." A Wang clan, may also be the only original native of the village, according to the relationship between the generations of residents, it is invariably that the time when their ancestors arrived in the village coincided with the history of the village, about two hundred years, the residents of the Wang surname were scattered in the ancient city, north and south. The second largest wang surname lives concentrated at the east end of the east 1 row of the ancient city, and the third king surname lives concentrated at the west end of the east 1 row of the ancient city, and the time of these two kings living in the village is about 100 years according to the generations of personnel. There are also 2 single-family families surnamed Wang in the ancient city, one of which is a Huaxian immigrant, and the other is estimated to be an immigrant household with a short time. There are also 3 independent branches of the Wang surname in the west and northwest outside the city, although the number of people is also relatively large, but according to the difference in living location and living style, it is estimated that it should be the latest to immigrate to the village of wang surname, and the time to stay in the village should be shorter.

Li, Xu, Xu, Zheng, Gao surname: the number of these surnames is in the middle, but each has only 1 blood branch, and concentrated in a specific area of the city, according to the characteristics of concentrated residence and few generations, it is estimated that the above surnames live in the village for about a hundred years.

I hope that the hometown generation is stronger than the next generation, and I wish the villagers in the hometown a harmonious relationship, a vigorous economic development, and happiness and health for everyone!
