Confucius said: "When a disciple enters, he is filial, and when he goes out, he is cowardly." A gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born from the beginning. Filial piety is the foundation of human beings!". For thousands of years, the traditional culture of "100 virtues and filial piety first" has trickled into the blood of all Chinese children.
In Qingshiqiao Village, Hexing Town, Suiping County, there is a natural village of more than 100 households, because the family surnamed Niu moved here from the northwest of Henan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so it is called Niuzhuang. The village has a unique geographical location, beautiful water and fertile soil. Many ravines and streams meander from the upper reaches and converge in the northwest of the village, forming the endless Lugou River (formerly the Tuoxi River). Then stopped, the Lugou River is like a silver snake, around the west of the village and the south of the village, and slowly flows eastward into the Kuiwang River. Since ancient times, the cattle village living by the river has been a treasure land of feng shui, where ancestors have lived for generations, living a farming life of sunrise and sunset.
