Xie Ruishan: Yerba Buena Hakuma Village

Xie Ruishan: Yerba Buena Hakuma Village

On the afternoon of the second day in Mengxia, I and Teacher Liao Xiaomei of Dingnan Middle School came to Baiju Village to collect wind, and I felt very deeply and had endless memories. Baiju Village is located 7.5 kilometers northeast of Longtang Town, Dingnan County, east to Kongtian Town, Anyuan County, north to Hezai Town, west to Hongzhou Village, Changfu Village, and south to Shengqian Village. In the third year of Ming Muzong Longqing (1569), it belonged to Xiaoshibao, and the fifth year of Longqing (1571) belonged to Boshili. In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), it belonged to Longtang Township in the sixth district, and in the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), it belonged to Longtang Township and remained unchanged until August 1949. After liberation on August 21, 1949, it belonged to Longtang Township in Qushui District, Baiju Township in Tianxiao District in 1950, Baiju Township in Changfu District in November 1952, Hongxing Commune (Longtang) in August 1958, Longtang Commune in Egong District in September 1961, Baiju Village Production Brigade, Dongfanghong Commune (Longtang) in November 1966, and Longtang Commune from November 1968 to July 1984. After the construction of the township was carried out in August 1984, it belonged to Longtang Township and set up the Baiju Village Villagers Committee, and in 1995, the township was withdrawn and merged with the town, and Longtang Township was changed to Longtang Town, and Baiju Village was an administrative village of Longtang Town. It has jurisdiction over 19 villager groups, including Shebei, Shanxinggang, Xiawu, Xiangmen, Xinwu, Fuxingwei, Waixia, Xibei, Laowuxia, Xibei, Xishang, Xixin, Gaoqiu, Jinkou, Puzhi, Shanxia, Zhangshutou, Xinwuxia, Yangliuba, and Dianbei, with a total of 389 households and 1518 people. With a total area of 27 square kilometers, a mountain forest area of 13,200 mu and an arable land area of 958 mu, it is a small mountain village with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Accompanied by Guo Huaping, a cadre of Longtang Town, he drove north along the Anding Highway for more than 10 minutes to the Baiju Bridge. Slowly moving eastward along the Baiju River in a narrow valley, a stream of green bamboo, green mountains, flying flowers, and greenery, we were immediately enchanted by this charming gallery and infinitely fascinated. Unconsciously, I went to the back of the village mouth and turned down the mountain, but I saw a river flowing from the Half-Day Mountain around the head of the camphor tree, and two 300-year-old camphor trees were leafy and swaying with the wind. We stopped to watch, and then saw the cottage leaning against the mountains and waters, the light smoke, the hedges leaning on the village, the chickens barking and dogs, the neighbors peeping into the garden, the women and the nuns calling each other, a wind of Wei and Jin, such as entering the Taoyuan, which is pleasant to the body and mind, and the feelings are staggering.

We walked into a small courtyard with Hu Dafu and Hu Jingping, two village cadres, and Uncle Hu talked about the origin of the "Baiju Village" without talking. Legend has it that one summer more than four hundred years ago, there was a Crane Boy Wei man in Anyuan County, who lost a white horse and looked for the current Baiju Village, and he asked a village boy in a proud tone: "I have a small white horse that has come to the cold village, do you see it?" The village boy panicked in his heart, and did not know how to answer for a moment. Just as a wise man was passing by, he heard the villager ask the village boy in a contemptuous tone, and he replied, "There is a white horse that freezes to death on the hillside below!" The horse seeker said, "It's Juneday, how can you freeze the horse?" The wise man said, "Since our village is a cold village, you must hurry up, otherwise even you will freeze to death!" A few words from the wise man, the horse seeker's face turned red, and he walked away unconsciously and grayly. Since then, in order to educate future generations to respect and be polite, the elders in the village often tell the story of "finding ponies" to posterity, and erect a monument at the head of the village tile bridge, named "Baiju Village" to help future generations.

"Look up and feel a thousand mountains and green, and the grass does not get lost on the road." We went through the village in the grass, and the water went around the village over the new house, the back of the shop, and the willow dam, and then we went to Shanxinggang. At this time, standing in front of the Hu Ancestral Hall and looking around, as far as the eye can see, the sun is falling, the water is full of fields, the forest is broken and the mountains are bright, the yellow warblers are crying, the lotus flowers are full of flowers, the butterflies are flying, and a spring breeze of the village has leapt to the scene, which instantly makes us feel relaxed and happy. With a heart of admiration, we walked into the glittering and antique Hu Ancestral Hall. According to the administrator Hu Dabo, in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang, he married his eldest daughter to Emperor Shun's concubine Man as his wife, sealed him in Chen, and established the "State of Chen", with the capital at Wanqiu (present-day Huaiyang, Henan). After Concubine Man's death, her courtesy name was Chen Hugong (陈胡公), also known as Hu Gongman (胡公man). His descendants took his courtesy name Hu as their surname, and there was a family with the surname Hu from the beginning. Chen Hugong was revered by his descendants as the ancestor of the Hu surname. When the Northern Song Dynasty educator Hu Huan was born in Andingbao, Zichang County, Shaanxi Province, because of his official Dr. Taichang, he was known as "Mr. Anding", and the descendants of the Hu clan took "Anding" as the hall name, which means that the future life will be healthy and stable, so it is called "Andingtang". For more than 400 years, following the ancestral precepts of "Standing Up faithful to Filial Piety and Passing on the Rules of Family Innocence", The Hu surname of Baiju Village is the grandson of Andingtang, resting here, living and working in peace and contentment, writing the glory and glory of Baiju Village yesterday and today, which makes us marvel. Leaving the Hu Ancestral Hall, Yuanxi Line crossed the big house, the opposite door, the new house, the revival wall, the creek back, the old house, and went to the Rita Okushi Ancestral Hall. Standing here and looking at the greenery under the half-day mountain, the water of the stream, the crossing of the Guomen Lindu, the outside of the white water field, the twilight of Zhujiang Village, a good picture scroll of "walking to the end of the water, sitting and watching the clouds rise", let us take pictures one after another, fascinated. The heart moves with the mountains, and there are no ten miles of fun. We walked through the village in the gallery, to the south to Gaoqiu, Jinkou, Puzhi, Yuanshang, Yuanxin, extremely far away, the rice under the stone gang, the green bamboo path, the mud melting swallow, the red fern illuminated water, the white bird flipped over, the child opened the door, the guinea pig fence chicken perch, the spring mountain everywhere, the tao ran out of the machine. Beautiful, feast your eyes, fast, swing and relax.

Immediately stepping into a large shed of flowers and trees base, around the red luck of the head, a pot of longevity flowers, a happy tree, a cluster of bougainvillea, a cluster of pomegranate flowers, a cluster of begonia flowers, all kinds of flowers and trees are standing tall, purple and red, such as the green ocean turquoise waves, like fairies beautiful and feminine, let me wait for a long time to immerse in the "Kiyokawa belt long thin, cars and horses to idle" the transcendent earthly wonderful dream. Talk to it, dance with it, yo-yo with it, ecstatic. At this time, as the sun sets, the villagers who cultivate in pairs of threes and twos hurried home with the afterglow, a line of white cranes falling on the green field, the children are playing and playing carefreely, the village rises with cooking smoke, and an amorous ink danqing slowly extends in nine days, within reach and refreshing. Looking at the beautiful Baiju Village, we sent full blessings and reluctantly bid farewell to this small mountain village with its grass and flowers. May 13, 2021
