"Iron is long and open in Yangzhou, and in the morning there is rice by day", this is a familiar saying I heard from adults when I was a child.
Thirty miles north of Tingcheng, there is a Grand Canyon. The Jigong Ridge at the junction of Ninghua and Changting splits into a mountain range in the southwest, and when it reaches the small lake, the mountain range divides into two sub-veins, one vein goes south again, and after more than ten miles, it stands tall and forms the golden peak of Tianhua Mountain. After five or six miles to the east, the first vein rises to form a conical golden dome of the Great Compassion Mountain, and the remaining vein returns to the south, forming a pigeon ridge and a south slope at the back of the pass gate and the Wendi pit successively. Sandwiched between the two southbound mountain beams of the small lake and the ocean, the two larger villages in the more open part of the valley are zhangdi in the north and the iron length in the south. In addition, of course, there are small villages, such as Dadongkeng, Pass, and Chuan pass.
Knot villages in the canyon are conditional. One should be relatively open, and the other should be separated from the mountain beams on the left and right sides of the water to separate the small mountain range turning off the fence. Tiechang Village satisfies these two conditions. The mountain beam of the Great Compassion Mountain reached the mouth of Tiechang Village, separated the mountain range to the west, and the Tianhua Mountain separated from the eastward mountain range to meet the division, you come and go, left and right, let people do not know the whereabouts of the canyon water. Therefore, there is a legend that the Marquis of Tingzhou inspected the iron chief, went to the south pit ridge, saw the water in the pit flowing north, panicked, and ordered the car driver to stop, saying, "Here the pit water flows backwards to the north, there must be a big official in the village, do not be big, when the car walks." When you get to the village, get back on the car and go forward. The subordinate asked why, and said: "The water breaks the heart of heaven, there is no big official, and there is not enough to be afraid." ”
Like the iron chief, Zhangdi Village forms a village, in addition to being more open, the side of the water also has a small mountain range protruding and bending, that is, the Tianhua Mountain Beam divides a small mountain range to the east, so that a long canyon has a bottom, just like a bucket has a bucket bottom, so there is a good situation of "green tree village edge, Qingshan Guo outside slope".

From the east gate of Tingzhou City to the north, through Dongjie, Dongpu, in Gaopitou to the northwest to trace the iron Changhe North, cross the iron length, and then go five kilometers, far away to see a wind and rain bridge across the river, this is to tell you, Zhangdi Village arrived. This wind and rain bridge, the traditional stone arch bridge structure, single arch, built on top of the house, also known as the house bridge. Looking at the stone arch bridge stone, the roots and whiskers are densely packed with stone ears, which shows that it is ancient, and it has a history of 100 years. The bridge is not only conducive to the traffic to the opposite side of the river, but also has the meaning of connecting with the small mountain range in the west, so that the village mouth is very close. It is said that this is said from the Hakka people's firm belief in feng shui, which can help the whole village to be rich and prosperous. From the perspective of environmental aesthetics, in this way, the village seems to be surrounded by reunions, which should make some sense.
Zhang Di husband and wife tree
Near the house bridge, see two ancient trees standing side by side, the locals say that this is a husband and wife tree, is Zhang Diding surname Kaiji Zu GaoShan Gong and his wife Zhang clan hand planted trees, has a history of more than 600 years. Hearing this, people can't help but be awe-inspired. Respect the longevity of its life, respect its human meaning. A few steps forward, look around, see a river in the middle, left and right open, overgrown with bamboo trees under the east and west mountains under the yellow wall brown tile house dozens, in front of the house pastoral strange, quite vibrant. It turned out that this place, like the iron chief, was also a water breaking heart. It is estimated that when the Hou Prefect arrived here, he also had to take a car forward with peace of mind. But there is an advantage here, a piece of house in the east is favored by the river, because the river makes a hug to it, bends to the east, and slowly flows out from the foot of the mountain on the east side. It can be seen that the scenery of the people in the east will be much more beautiful.
Under the roof bridge, follow the stones on the head of the river, and see the waterfall of the head of the river pouring out, and the water is as white as milk. The water wheel on the right side of The Pi was huge and slowly rotated under the impact of the canal water. Inside the head, the river is all over
The turquoise is crystal clear, and there are several small boats swaying on the shore. On the shore, a long row of huts stands in the middle, with a gallery on the side of the river, and several peach trees planted next to the huts, and the contrast between the red of the peach blossoms and the brown of the huts is particularly striking. And all of this is reflected in the extremely turquoise river, giving people a dreamy feeling. Such green, such red, such brown, give people the feeling of seeing an old friend who has been missing for a long time. Fresh, natural, quaint, pristine, this is the feeling that the back garden of Tingzhou City like Zhang Di can give you. What is this row of cabins for, it was originally a viewing platform for tourists, a lounge, and a place to provide meals for tourists.
Heading north along the foot of Dongshan Mountain, visiting the farmhouses, the first thing you see is the largest Ding family compound in the Hakka area. It was a large mansion with three or so horizontal houses, built in the early 1980s. The history is not very long, but it reflects the inheritance of traditional Hakka hall-style architectural techniques and the tradition of living in Hakka families. Such a large-scale house, living in dozens of families, are uncles and brothers to each other, never quarrel or fight over anything. Because this house is large, the Zhangdi people used to call it the Ding Family Compound. The owner here said that the feng shui of the Ding family compound is very good, and there have been many talents in the past forty years, and a child of the Ding family in the right horizontal house was admitted to Tsinghua University a few years ago, and the people in the whole compound feel very proud and feel that life is more confident.
Fu Beixing is the main ancestral hall of Zhang Diding's family. This is an old-fashioned house with a left and right horizontal house. This old temple is a book that can read the history of the Ding family and the history of Zhangdi Village. Originally, before the Ding family opened the mountain ancestor Gao Shan Gong to live in Zhangdi, the main residents of Zhangdi were surnamed Zhang, in addition to the surnames of Ye and Fan. When the ancestors surnamed Zhang lived in Zhangdi, the house was built in the location of the river in tianyuan, north to south, that is, the door of the house was facing the water. Ding Gaoshan went to Zhangdi to do long-term work for the Zhang family, and later became related to the daughter of the Zhang family. A few years later, Gao Shan asked the Zhang family to give him a wasteland at the foot of the mountain to build a house to live in, and the Zhang family agreed. After the mountain lived here, the people prospered, the wealth was widespread, and it was very developed. However, the Zhang family was left out in the cold and decayed, and later had to move abroad. Over time, the Fan family and the Ye family also moved out, and Zhang Di Village was full of ding Gaoshan's descendants. The sons and grandsons of the High Mountains have been breeding for twenty-three generations since the Mountains, which shows that they have a history of about 600 years. The local old man said that Mr. Feng Shui said that the Zhang family would decline because the house was built by the river and would be destroyed by the river. Moreover, the door will go to the water, and it will lose the money. whereas
Alpine public housing is at the foot of the mountain, and the back is leaned on the dragon, and is not harmed by the river. Moreover, this house just depends on the big dragon vein separated from the southern mountain beam of the Eastern Great Compassion Mountain, so Zhangdi Village has a unique Ding family, and other surnames are unstable. This kind of feng shui is not credible, but this statement adds to the magic of Zhangdi Village.
From the Ding Clan Ancestral Hall to the east, we have reached the end of the village in the eastern part, crossed the stone bridge on the river, and came to the west of the village.
Under a mountain range in the west of the village, built on the mountain, there is also an old shrine called Yangli Ding Ancestral Hall. The house is a large seven-frame upper and lower hall and two swinging horizontal house civil fire sealing structure. The inscription on the lintel is "Ruqing Arch Show", and the left and right joints are "Qingshan does not ink thousand autumn paintings, green water has no strings", giving people the feeling of a book fragrant door. Entering the house, the beams and windows are carved with patterns, which seem to be a large family with characters. Sure enough, in the history of this family, there are many figures of "national students", "Yi Baosheng" and "Wu Xiucai", leaving many good stories in Zhangdi to inspire future generations. Legend has it that a certain "national student", who was appointed to Zhi County, a certain county in Jiangxi, heard of the death of his son on the way to office, so he saw through his career and returned home to farm.
At the foot of the mountain on the north side of the western slice, there was a Guanyin Temple in the old days, and it is said that in a certain year, when there was a big flood, Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped on the flood and went south, to the lower Zhangdi Village, up the mountain radial iron length, to the iron long Golden Dragon Mountain. So the Tiechang people built the Guanyin Temple on Jinlong Mountain. On the old stone road to the iron length, there is still a large stone with the footprints of Guanyin Bodhisattva on it!
To the south of the western village, there is an old house, which is also a large family. The "previous Red Army" was the office of the Zhangdi Soviet Government, where Zhang Zongxun's troops lived during the Tiechang guerrilla war. On the wall, there are still slogans written by Chen Shuilian, a soldier of the Red Army, "Long live the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army" and "Eliminate the Jingwei Regiment."
Zhangdi Village is located in a high mountain valley, the fog is full of fog for many years, the air is moist and fresh, the ecological resources are extremely rich, and various plants grow in the mountains and slopes, which is a natural chinese herbal medicine library. The old people here are eighty or ninety years old, cutting grass and cutting firewood to do farm work, which is a very common thing. In order to develop and utilize this treasure in Zhangdi Village and Tiechangshan District, a few years ago, Longyan Tongbao Materia Medica Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. entered Zhangdi to collect and plant Chinese medicinal materials, dry "vine tea" and various finished Chinese herbal medicines, and sell them nationwide. The combination of traditional agricultural paper and bamboo production and modern scientific and technological planting and cultivation has brought great changes to the production lifestyle and ideological concepts of Zhangdi Village, the tourism agriculture and tourism industries have been developed to a certain extent, agricultural labor, leisure and entertainment are naturally combined, and the people of Zhangdi are happy and harmonious.
Now Zhangdi has been recognized by the provincial government as the third batch of forestry ecological villages, and ecological protection and ecological utilization will have a better development. It is foreseeable that Zhangdi Village will be more beautiful in the future.
