【Weekend, follow Lao Liang to Xuchang】
Stop 213: Long Shop
Wen Tu ‖ Liang Yaoguo
In the past, if you want to go to Changdian, if you want to take a good road, you must take a detour to Xunan Highway, and after the nine-kilometer road, turn right onto the special road to the airport, and cross the Yinru Irrigation Canal Bridge, which is Dongchangdian Village. After walking through Dongchangdian and a mile further, is Changdian Village. Because of the fear of confusing the two villages, Changdian Village was simply called West Changdian. (Want to see where the old Liang went from the last stop?) Welcome to click on the following link to enjoy: the low-key Xuchang village, known as the Central Plains Water Town. Go, go and see)
I came back to Changdian, took Xu ji Avenue, after crossing the West Ring Road, take Hezhuang, Yezhuang, and then along the newly built road along the Yinru Irrigation Canal to get to Changdian, which is several miles less than bypassing Xunan Road.
The Water of the Ru River used by the Xuchang Waterworks is introduced from the Changdian Gate, and after being filtered, purified and pressurized, it flows to thousands of households. As a scenic spot in The Long Store, I deliberately stopped the car and photographed it so that the people of the city would know that the tap water we once ate was taken from this gate.

A school, an airport, brings up the bustle of a street.
The Second High School of Jian'an District, with more than 6,000 teachers and students, and the Xuchang Military Airport have turned the two sides of Dongchangdian Linjie Road into a lively commercial street, selling food, drinking, and selling, and shops one by one. At the entrance of a shop, I met the eighty-year-old man Wang Tianxing.

According to the old man, Changdian was first called Dazhuangdian, which is located on the old official road from Xuchang to Nanyang. The location of laoguan road is in the north of Tiezhang Village and the south of Changdian Village. After the construction of the New Xu (Chang) South (Yang) Road, this abandoned old official road was changed into a ditch that diverted water and watered the ground, and was named Changsheng River. Nowadays, Dongchangdian belongs to the Tiezhang Brigade, and The West Changdian has its own brigade. (For other masterpieces written by Teacher Liang Yaoguo, please click on the following link: The cultural symbols are gone, can the Millennium Holy Land still be called a "site"?) ）
Xuchang Airport (19) 52 years of survey, 53 years of construction, 56 years into the army, into the trainer aircraft. Changdian Zhuang is big and easy to find, so the people are accustomed to calling the airport Changdian Airport.
Subsequently, the second high school of Jian'an District (formerly the second high school of Xuchang County) began to prepare for construction. By 1958, in order to solve the problem of water supply for the citizens of Xuchang, the government held a call to dig and divert irrigation canals. At that time, there was no machinery, all relying on people, grasping hook planers, shovel shovels, flat shoulders, racks and carts, one village package and one section, it took more than a year, on the flat ground below full of lai stone, it was hard to dig this nearly fifty-kilometer-long diversion channel. Fortunately, people's ideological consciousness is high, and such a large project, even if it does not pay the workers, only gives the work points, it is still doing a hot job. If you put it now, it is estimated that there are not many people who are actively engaged.

Thanks to the old man Wang Tianxing, I continued to travel west.
Between The East Long Shop and the West Long Shop, there is a small temple on the south side of the road. Seeing the small door on the road open, I pushed the cart inside.
The eastern half of the temple is a field of beans, and an elderly man is bending down to cut beans. I didn't want to alarm him, I wanted to come in and see if there was any old monument, and if not, I was going to turn my head and leave.
What was surprising was that on the west side of the entrance of the Jade Emperor Hall, there were really two old monuments with few edges and few corners. I hurriedly got out of the car and looked closer, the handwriting was blurry, but it was still recognizable. The inscription on one of the tablets is:
Xuzhou Capital Xiliang County West Dazhuang Store, the old Jade Emperor Temple, Yongzheng Ugly Year, the congregation Zhang Yangzheng coordinated the reconstruction, has been a hundred years. In the year of Qianlong Ding, it was appropriate for Wu □, a scholar of the Chinese dynasty, to see the unfinished gold in the temple, and he was indignant. Those who dwell in the land of The Land, feel the joy of giving □, and also □□□□ to paint □□. He also read that there were many monks, and the provision was insufficient, and the land was thirteen acres and five points. Gong set up Shi Yizhi.
Student Yang Fan (lang) book
Presiding monk Xuan
In the thirteenth year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1748), the year of the Fifth Dynasty was midsummer Jidan
From this inscription, it is known that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Xuchang County was called Xiliang County, and Xuchang City was called Xiliang City. The Jade Emperor Temple in Dazhuangdian was rebuilt by Zhang Yangzheng.
On another stone stele standing side by side, the inscription reads "Monument to the Rebuilding of the Jade Emperor Temple":
Twenty miles southwest of Xuzhi, dazhuangdian, the old Jade Emperor Temple, of which the main hall of the three jacarandas, as well as the Guandi Hall, the Sleeve Hall, the Dao Room, the kitchen, the opera building, over the years, leaked and decadent, there is no way to properly observe the gods. The first thing and other donations, fundraising, rebuilt, and renewed. The surname will be donated to the stones to immortalize the clouds.
Zhang Yuqing wrote the dan
The first thing Zhang Tingdong
Great Qing Dao Guang □□ years old Yi Hai Gui Yue Shang huan
In the inscription of this stele, I saw the word "rim" for the first time. What does it mean to be sleeved? Who is sacred in the hall of the sleeves? None of them are known.
Below: "Jade Emperor Temple Reconstruction Monument".
After copying the inscription, I borrowed the crack in the door of the Jade Emperor's Palace to look inward, and the black grunt in the hall could not see the face of the god at all, so I had to give up. Looking back at the couplets posted on the door frame, it is still a bit interesting:
There is nothing to reward the heavens and the earth
It's all about incense in the morning and evening
My strange behavior must have attracted the attention of the old man. At some point, he was standing behind me with a dangling scythe in his hand. The moment the four eyes met, it really startled me.
What are you doing? The old man asked me pleasantly.
I didn't dare to be sloppy, and I said my situation in a thick way.
The old man's name was Wang Bingshen, and he was eighty-three years old. After figuring out my original intentions, the old man with clear thinking told me many old things about the long store in concise language.
Pictured below: Elder Wang Bingshen.
The long shop was originally called Sujiazhuang, and su ziyu, a great literary scholar of the Song Dynasty, used to live here, but later moved to Suqiao for some reason. The old monument that proves that Su Ziyu lived in our village is placed in the village department. However, there is not a single family in the village with the surname Su.
Sujiazhuang is located on the old official road, after the Su family moved away, the surname Zhang, surname Yang and other miscellaneous surnames have moved over, one street and two lines, there are open restaurants, there are dry shops, there are open grocery stores, people slowly gather more and more, gradually form a large village, so changed the name of Dazhuang store.

Later, bandits ran rampant and plagued the people everywhere. In order to protect themselves, people had no choice but to dig the Zhai River around dazhuangdian and build a wall.
The old official road passes through the village, entering through the East Gate gate and exiting from the West Gate Village. In order to facilitate travel, in addition to the east and west gates, there are also two gates in the north and south. After the village was built, it was long from east to west and narrow from north to south, and the village was renamed Changdian again according to the situation.
In the past five miles, there was a fort, and ten miles set up a shop and a pavilion. The long shop is just twenty miles away from the city, and when I remember, there was a pavilion inside the Dongzhai Gate, which we called the East Pavilion.
Dongchangdian was originally called the east end of the street, and after the long store had an official title, it was renamed Dongchangdian.
The former site of the Jade Emperor Temple is inside the Xizhai Gate, and to its west is the Yang Family Ancestral Hall. The "Suzi by the Old Residence" stele fell on the root of the east gable of the Yang Family Ancestral Hall, and when the fourth old was broken, this stele was smashed and shattered into several pieces, and the "Zi" character on the stele was lost somewhere.
Once liberated and the society is safe, the wall will be useless and lose its value. Yesterday you pulled the foundation of the soil pad house, today I pulled the soil pad livestock house, tomorrow he pulled the soil to accumulate high temperature fertilizer, and unconsciously, he rabled the wall of the village to the ground.
Below: Zhai River.
Referring to the accumulation of high temperature fertilizer, there is also an image joke, saying that it is two leaves sandwiched between a dirt and a dirt. To put it bluntly, it is to lay a layer of leaves, lay a layer of soil, lay another layer of leaves, and then pour water on the moon for forty years, and turn it into fertilizer on the ground. In fact, China is mainly caused by the lack of chemical fertilizers, and then there is ammonia, followed by ammonium carbon and urea. At that time, fertilizer was tight and could not be bought. In the past twenty years, compound fertilizer has been used to grow crops, as long as you have money, you can buy as much as you want.
I was originally from Beiwangzhuang, and in 1954, the airport was repaired, and the whole village was merged into Changdian, and in the blink of an eye, I became a real Changdian person.
Leaving the Three Emperors Temple, I rode into Changdian Village, and found the flooded Old Official Road and found the babbling Laozhai River. At the entrance of the courtyard on both sides of the village street and on the side of the vegetable field, stone tools such as stone bricks, millstone plates, and garlic mortar can be seen everywhere. Subsequently, I found the village committee, and the cadres of YangCun opened the warehouse and saw the remnants of "(Suzi) by the old apartment". The only thing left is the words "Autumn Moon on the Moon".
Below: SuZi by the old yu remnants.
When I came out after taking pictures, the village cadre called me into the office and took out a copy of the materials compiled and written by Mr. Su Qinglong. I've captured some of them:
Su Rui, the character by, the number Yingbin widowed the old man. In the second year of Jiayou (1057), Su Rui and his brother Su Shi were in the same middle and shidi, and the official Shangshu Right Attendant and Menxia Shilang. Because of his outstanding literary achievements, he and his father Su Xun and brother Su Shi were known as the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties. Later, because Su Shi opposed Wang Anshi's change of law, he was demoted from Ruzhou to Yuan Prefecture. Travel to Xuchangxi, build a house in Changdian Village on the shore of the Yinghe River, leaving the second son Su Shi and the third son Su Yuan to live temporarily. In the first year of Chongning (1102), Cai Jing came to power, and Su Rui was deposed and lived in Changdian Village.
In the Qingqianlong "Xuzhou Zhi" ancient monument chapter, it is said, "Song Suzi lived in the village of Dazhuangdian in the west of the prefecture" from the old residence.
The "Chronicle of Xuchang County of the Republic of China" says: There are sons in the east of Longqu Bao from Gangjun, and Song Zi is from the old residence here, and the name is Su Dazhuang Town. Originally a Dazhuang store, it was later changed to Fuxing Village, which was the key to Xuxiang Avenue and was the Benbao Market. Ziyu old residence in Dazhuangdian Village Ximennei Road south. After Su Rui's death, in order to remember Su Rui, the villagers of Dazhuangdian added a Su character in front of Dazhuangdian and changed the name of the village to Su Dazhuang.
At the end of the information, there is a floor plan of Su Ziyu's old apartment drawn by Mr. Su Qinglong.
Below: Suzi by the old apartment floor plan.
What the old man said and Mr. Su wrote, although there are some differences, but the basic meaning is the same, which can be corroborated by each other.
A search by mistake and a mistake actually found the historical materials and historical relics where Su Rui lived in Xuchang, which was a fortunate thing, and it was worth the trip.
