Speaking of some confusion, after lunch there was a power outage, the old phone said that Lao Zhang said that Caojiagou has a good scenery, let's go and see it, Shi Yunwu drove, so a group of four people set off.
What is tourism? I often say that tourism is enough to eat, and if you are hungry, you will definitely not be in the mood to see the scenery. Since you have to be good at finding highlights when you travel, as long as you have interest, you will feel that there are good scenery everywhere, otherwise you will feel bored.
Speaking of celebrities with the surname Cao, it is natural to think of Cao Cao, whether the Cao surname here is a descendant of Cao Cao is unknown, because now Cao Jiagou Village is no longer surnamed Cao, the people with the surname Cao in the village are gone in the Qing Dynasty, whether they moved to Caojiazhuang Village not far away, have not yet taken care of the examination, but think of the Eight Immortals of Cao Guo Uncle This immortal, Cao Guo Uncle later became an immortal, perhaps his family footprints are more extensive, of course, Cao Guo Uncle may still have a relationship with Cao Cao.
When we arrived at the head of Caojiagou Village, we still didn't know where to go, we didn't know what legends or celebrities caojiagou were here, and Lao Zhang couldn't tell where the good scenery was, he had been here more than twenty years ago.
We agreed to walk into the village and take a look.
Caojiagou belongs to the jurisdiction of Shantou Township, which is now dominated by the surname Of Yang, and is said to have come from the Qing Dynasty. Caojiagou has a coal kiln, the previous people have also been mined, whether the disappearance of the Cao family is related to the coal kiln may have another story, but now people do benefit from coal resources, in the early 1990s, Caojiagou was judged by tens of millions of yuan in rural areas.
Caojiagou built an Antai Temple, the scale is really not small, mainly Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Taoism are complete, the gods and immortals of the three religions gather together, this may be a kind of sustenance of the villagers, hoping to bless the villagers with peace, more wealth, more children, more grain, children more admission to university and so on. There is a square in front of the temple, there is a park, but there are few tourists, and it is neglected, and it is currently overgrown and desolate, and it is somewhat desolate. There is also a stage next to it, which is also a rural tradition, and the temple fair is entertained by acting.
The village also built a mountain village folklore exhibition hall next to Antai Temple, but unfortunately it did not open its doors.
In front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Antai Temple, there are bell towers and drum towers, which are more majestic, and there are also the Jade Emperor Hall, the Laojun Hall, the Niangniang Hall, the Wencheng Hall, the Guandi Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the Mawang Hall, the Land Temple, and there are many Taoist gods. There is also a five-point building behind the temple, which may be related to a certain family.

A journey of joy
After seeing caojiagou village, there was no new discovery, and I felt that I was returning, and stopped to look at it when I passed by Xiaogu Village.
Xiaogu Village was under the jurisdiction of Liujiayuan Town, which had previously come under the jurisdiction of Zhaocheng County, which in the past seemed to be stronger than Hongdong County, at least when Huoquan was divided, Zhaocheng County had the upper hand.
The name of the ancient village must be related to "ancient", it may be an ancient or ancient thing, as for what it is, some elderly people in the village do not know, just slowly study it.
In the village, there used to be a large family surnamed Sun, from the class composition, belongs to the landlord class, the compound built is still relatively spectacular, the cave green bricks and green tiles built by the mountain, the deep house high wall, has shown the glory of the past, the former building is still very exquisite, the rich family first to ensure safety, the protective function is in the first place, the high wall and the watchtower are indispensable, and the building here is still very rich because of this function.
There is a Western-style building that imitates the imminent collapse of the village, which should belong to the Republic of China period, from the architectural style may be related to religion, the old people in the village can not say who built it, thinking of the girls' school in Luoyun Village not far away, I guess this building may be related to the missionaries of that year.
There is a large poplar tree at the head of the village, which seems to have become a god, and there is a mountain spring under the tree that flows continuously all year round, and some villagers still take water here to eat, and the mountain spring is clear, perhaps a feng shui treasure spring.
Today's descendants have forgotten the style of their predecessors, the glory of the ancestors has gone away with the passage of time, the once luxurious buildings can no longer be relished by posterity, the damaged no one is willing to invest in repairs, young people have migrated to the bustling downtown, some old people are still staying behind and letting them weather and disappear with the passage of time, it is not sad or regretful, it is the metabolism that pushes out the new results, or the old does not go to the new.
Seeing a toon tree, Lao Zhang picked a few slices with great interest, which should be enough to scramble eggs to eat a meal. The old joke "walk into the farmhouse of The Ancients, eat the buds of the Tsubaki" and this simple and brief trip ends here.
