On April 6th, spring blossoms and the sun shines. Some painters in the "Zhiqing Cultural Park" in Guaxi Village, Yufang Township, Jiangle County, are spraying paint, and carpenters are installing thick beams on the two-story roof, and the construction site is a scene of heat.
What Caught the author's eye was the rows of two-story green brick houses with almost the same spacing, due to their disrepair, the paint of wooden doors and windows fell off, and the walls were mottled, these antique 'small western-style buildings'. Nowadays, walking in the alley of the small western-style building, you can still feel the "foreign" atmosphere of that year.
"The local government has won more than 3.5 million yuan from the superiors to repair the original appearance, and the project started in February this year and is estimated to be completed in July," said Chen Shiqiang, a member of the Yufang Township Propaganda Committee and deputy township chief who accompanied him.
It is understood that Yufang Township Guaxi Village is once a famous Zhiqing point in our province, the Village Zhiqing Building Complex was built in the 1960s and 1970s, with a total of 27 independent units, covering an area of about 30,000 square meters. The complex is the only remaining agricultural Dazhai period architectural complex in Jiangle, is the largest existing Zhiqing architectural complex in our province, in the third national cultural relics census has been designated as immovable cultural relics, for the study of Zhiqing culture to provide rare physical information.
According to the "Chronicle of Jiangle County", from 1965 to 1971, Jiangle County successively received 2717 Zhiqing from Fuzhou, Putian, Quanzhou and other places. "Zhiqing usually mainly participates in the labor of the production team, works with the villagers, grows vegetables and rice, raises chickens and ducks, and leaves early and returns late. The villagers taught Zhiqing to do farm work, and Zhiqing taught the villagers to read and learn culture. ”
"In order to let Zhiqing live in a unified and collective way, the village built this brick and wood structure 'small western-style building' in accordance with the requirements of the county." Xiao Wenxiu, who was the village party secretary at the time, had a lively head, and inspired by this "Zhiqing Small Western-style Building", led the villagers to blow the clarion call of "unified design, unified planning, and unified construction" and the construction of a new socialist countryside. After two or three years of hard work, rows and rows of brick and tile "Western-style buildings" have risen from the ground, and every family is happy to move to a new home. Today, Xiao Wen embroidery still has fresh memories.
A few years ago, Guaxi Village reopened the planning of new village construction. However, it is difficult for the villagers to give up the Zhiqing complex and spontaneously organize to protect the Zhiqing Building. In the third national census of cultural relics, these complexes were classified as immovable cultural relics.
Guaxi Village is a county-level poor village and is also a village in the old revolutionary area. Echoing over Guaxi, in addition to the drama, there was the rumbling of guns, which was heroic and tragic. According to the April 1988 edition of The Study of the History of the Party of Jiangxi and the Local History of the Communist Party of China (Volume I), on February 18, 1934, "the Eastern Army was ordered to withdraw from the Eastern Front of the Jiangle and Shunchang areas. This marked the shift of the enemy from defense to offense and from attack to defense. Under the leadership of the Fujian Central Special District Committee and the local Soviet power, the people of Jiangle concentrated their full efforts on "anti-encirclement and suppression." On the morning of March 18, the enemy's 89th Division advanced from Dayuan to Yufang and swept into Guaxi at noon. The troops of the Red 21st Division struggled to resist the hills near Guaxi, and the sons and daughters of Guaxi actively supported the Red Army, and a fierce battle between good and evil began... He has left a moving story of the deep love of the "Red Army Well" and the "Red Army Powder Dry" fish.
The economic income of the villagers in Guaxi, Yufang Township, is mainly based on planting and going out to work. The collective economy is weak, and there is a lack of village collective industries with the characteristics of the village, strong competitiveness, and significant poverty benefits. However, there is a unique place in the village - the former residence of Zhiqing.
Under the advice of the main township leaders, the two village committees decided to use the former residence of Zhiqing as a basis, focus on creating an atmosphere of Zhiqing going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and develop a Cultural Tourism Industry of Zhiqing that integrates characteristic tourism, farm stays, entertainment, leisure picking, and accommodation. After completion, it can further improve the rural functions, and it is expected to increase the income of villagers by 100,000 yuan per year and arrange more than 10 poor laborers. Nowadays, the project has officially started construction and will be gradually improved to the society as soon as possible. The villagers are full of confidence in the future development of Guaxi.
