Huantai County: Xiazhuang
Xiazhuang is located in the northeast of Huantai County, in the southeast of the core area of present-day Mata Lake, close to the ruins of the Warring States City, about 13 kilometers from the county seat. The length of the village is about 3.6 kilometers from north to south, about 2.5 kilometers from east to west, the territory area is about 9 square kilometers, the total cultivated land area is 8256 acres, the south is adjacent to Fengqiaozhuang, the west is adjacent to Yulong Bay, the east and north sides are adjacent to Anchai Village and Wantou Village in Boxing County, and it is also the fourth village through which the main stream of the Wuhe River flows into the territory of Qifeng Town.
Xiazhuang is one of the largest natural villages in Huantai County and is divided into 7 administrative villages. This is unique in Zibo City. According to the location of the territory and the boundary of the Wuhe River, the entire village is divided into 4 villages, namely East Village, QianCun, HouCun and North Village. The current Xiasan Village and Xiasi Village are called Dongcun because they live east of the Wuhe River; the residential area west of the Wuhe River is bounded by the "Ten" intersection on the west side of the Wuhe Bridge, and the current Xia Yi Village and Xia Er Village are south of the "Ten" Intersection, called Qian Village; the current Xia Wu Village and Xia Liu Village are north of the "Ten" Character Intersection, called Hou Village; the current Xia QiCun is located at the northernmost end of the east bank of the Wu River, and in the Xia Si Village, the cultivation area is called North Village. From the water conservancy topographic map, a Wuhe River is like a belt of wind veins flowing in, with a total length of about 3.5 kilometers running through the whole north and south of Xiazhuang, connecting these 7 administrative villages on the east and west banks. The river babbling, day and night, wafting the humanistic wind of the ancient capital of the Qi country; the love is deep, and the waves are flowing, as if playing a gentle and melodious, joyful and exciting "Song of the Seven Sons".
According to Kao, before the Ming Dynasty, Xiazhuang Village was located between the shallow water area on the east bank of Mata Lake and Huicheng Po, and the outside of the village was full of lakes, and the area of beaches, canal plantings and bay plants reached as much as 70% of the total geographical area. Historically, there have been folk songs describing the layout of the farmland and land surrounded by Xiazhuang Village: "Northwest Lotus Lotus Guang, Northeast LuHuaxiang; Wing More Rice Fields, Grain River in River State; Boat Creek Chess Cloth, Hagi Dobu West Wing." ”
In the traditional concept of the people of Xiazhuang, Wuhe is the rhythm of hydration and oxygen infusion for generations of homeland, and it is the cradle that gave birth to the origin and brilliant development of Xiazhuang culture, and there have been poems praised: "Jixia was born in the heavenly graben, and the city will lie in the ground; once it was a beautiful show, and the three springs were presented." ”
Historically, Xia Zhuang was named Xia Huang Zhuang. The Qing Dynasty Cheng Yuzhuo's "Huantai Shengguan" says: "Xiajiazhuang is Xia Huangzhuang, that is, the hometown of Xia Huanggong. "Xia Huanggong, Qi Ren, hermit of the early Han Dynasty, surnamed Cui Mingguang, character Shaotong, reclusive in Xiali, hence the name Xia Huanggong." Referring to various types of texts, it can be seen that this Xia Huanggong was a famous hermit at the time of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and was called "Shangshan Sihao" together with the hermits Qiliji, Dongyuan Gong and Mr. Luli. Empress Lü summoned her to the court with the help of Zhang Liang to assist Liu Ying, who was then crown prince, thus consolidating her precarious position as crown prince. Liu Ying was the later Emperor Hui of Han.
The "Genealogy of the Tian Clan" says: "In the second year of Ming Hongwu (1369), the ancestor Tian Bao moved from Zaoqiang, who was directly subordinate to Jizhou, to Wangjiagang (present-day Guangrao), and then moved to Xiajiazhuang in Xincheng County. "After generations of reproduction, the Tian family has become the clan surname of Xia Zhuang, accounting for more than 70% of the total population of the village.
Humanistic charm
As early as the Kangxi and Qianlong years, Xia Zhuang had arisen the rural style of Confucian education. In the form of several households jointly hiring teachers, setting up accounts to open libraries, enrolling students at the age of mun, and re-examining teaching. The Shumu Shōgun has the Kangxi Imperial Training Scholar Ziwen and the Xiaoshi Shengshi Lying Monument to indoctrinate and standardize the education, morality, and conduct of the recipients.
In 1785 (the fiftieth year of Qianlong), Liu Dashen, then zhixian County, with the teaching of "Meng yi yangzheng", led the establishment of a bookstore in Xiazhuang, and gave the "Zhengmeng Shusha" plaque, and hired famous teachers to teach at the rent of the nearby official barren fields or the reeds of the Yixue land, and began to gather dozens of schoolchildren. Tracing back to the source, the idiom "Meng yi yang zheng" comes from "Yi Meng": "Meng Yi Yang Zheng, sheng gong also." "Its semantic connotation is that in the childhood period, a person is naïve and has not been infected with bad habits, and he must be enlightened by a teacher of the virtue of the middle school, give him a correct education, and teach him to learn as a saint. And the beginning of learning to be a saint is in a "positive" word. Regardless of body and mind, words must be righteous and innocent. In this way, if you cultivate slowly, you will have the foundation for learning the holy spirits, and then you can build the holy deeds. It can be seen that the purpose of running a school advocated by Liu Dashen in Zhixian County is very different from the ideological education of other types of instilling schoolchildren to seek fame and profit.
At that time, Liu Dashen, who knew the county, also personally went to the Zhengmeng Bookstore to teach students. In this regard, the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" once commented: "The Great Gentleman Su lectured on the ability to write articles, and in the official public leisure, he was a scholar of the Academy, and tried to train all the students: 'Zhuzi Primary School, for the sake of the holy ladder, into the moral path. You must read this book, practice it, and use it to the greatness of the country under the heavens. It can be said that "Shangsheng Yingbin has opened up a century of cultural context; the literary style is magnificent, and a generation of learning style has been cultivated." As a result, the people's wisdom was opened, the scholars learned from reality, and the village style changed. As a result, even in the poor households, the civilized concept of poetry and book heirloom is getting stronger and stronger. It is no exaggeration to say that it is precisely the humanistic radiation and inheritance of Zhengmeng Bookstore that makes the cultural bloodline of Xia Zhuang's water and soil more abundant and strong. Since then, Xia zhuang chunting has shown a lot of talents, and there have been 1 Wenjuren, 3 Junkusheng, 17 Yikusheng, and 3 Gongsheng. What is particularly lamentable is that most of these intellectuals, with the exception of a few titles, devoted themselves to the field of culture and education at different times. According to incomplete examination, there have been more than 40 shushu schools established by the Tian clan alone, and more than 70 people have been hired as teachers.
In the thirty-third year of Guangxu (1907), the Qing court promulgated the "Selection of Scriptures and Declaration School", which was used to innovate the school system. After the Xinhai Revolution, it was renamed a school. Xia Zhuang took the lead in responding, and in 1916, he chose a school site in the current Xia Wu Village. The teacher is Tian Junqian, with more than 40 students. Among them, there were 2 female students, namely Tian Shuxia and Tian Yiqing, who became the pioneers of xiazhuang women to open the feudal shackles to enter school. The Women of the Lake District also enjoyed their scientific name. In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), the first primary school was established in the second village this summer, with 2 classes and more than 70 students, including 3 girls. Later, in the 30th year of the Republic of China (1941), 3 primary schools and 8 private schools were set up successively, with more than 350 students. In August of that year, the Qifeng Town Center Primary School was established in the Ancestral Ancestral Hall of the Tian Clan, that is, the Completion Primary School. There are 2 senior classes and 4 junior classes with more than 250 students. There are more than 600 students in two batches. After the founding of New China, some of them became government officials and people engaged in education. At a time when the construction of new China was eager for cultural talents, a large number of backbone cadres were sent. If you call Daoxiazhuang once a "talent pool" for literacy and character interpretation, it can be said to be worthwhile.
"Eight Views of Xiazhuang"
Traditionally, Xiazhuang is a feng shui treasure land along the river and lake. After the Wu river passes through Xiazhuang, it transforms into a lake, and the scenery rhymes, touching the complaining feelings of the literati of all generations. They are allegorically described, and there are many poems. During the Republic of China period, Honjo Shushi Township Xiantian Shulong once summarized the main cultural landscapes of the village passed down by folklore as the "Eight Views of Xiazhuang" - Lantern River Lantern, Qinglian Water, Huipo White Lotus, Liming Bridge City, Sunset Lotus Boat, River Dry Green Willow, Weiqiao Cooling, Stone Gate Turbulence.
Lantern River Lantern Lantern Festival Raking River, Lantern Moon Another Year; Dragon Lantern Pan Ancient Bridge, Lotus Lantern Around the Colorful Boat. Among the generations of people in Xiazhuang, there is such a sentence: "Sixty years of Jiazi Yuan Night, 'West Great White' hung lights fluorescently." The "West Great White" in the people's mouth is actually a crosstalk of "West Great Po", which originally refers to the place where Ma Ta Lake is located. This phrase comes from an ancient legend of the "Ancient Lake Lantern": every 60 years on the night of the Lantern Festival, in the center of the lake, when the ice is over the river, when the moon is clear and the wind is quiet, a ring wall city will appear, stringing bonfires, and the jade is bright, quite spectacular. Soon after, the lamp faded out and faded without a trace. This mirage-like illusion can be described as a mega-auspicious yurui. In order to make the "Ancient Lake Yuanye Lantern" come out, Xia Zhuang had the custom of hanging lanterns at the Lantern Festival from the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and set up a lantern festival in the seventh year of Qianlong (1742). Every Lantern Festival, the two banks of the Wuhe River, the lake and the wharf, the lights and moons, the fire trees and honeysuckle, the people enjoy together. If it is a fruitful age, the people will worship the river god and lake immortals on the water, especially in full bloom.
In the history of Xiazhuang, the people on both sides of the Wu River came and went, and they only relied on a wooden bridge. People are inconvenient, cars and horses are not accessible, and it takes years of maintenance costs, but the hardship of transportation is still difficult, just like blood clots blocking the meridians, resulting in the village's lack of prosperity. Extended to the sixth year of Guangxu (1880), the township Shitian Xibing proposed to lead the crowd to rebuild the wooden board bridge into an earthen and stone bridge. After the reconstruction of the Xiazhuang Bridge, the pier stone pillar is 1 zhang high, the bridge log basin mouth is thick, the three holes at the bottom of the bridge are 6 meters wide, and the reed soil on the bridge deck is 1 meter thick. The opening of this bridge is convenient for the people, the promotion of agricultural businessmen, and the revitalization of all industries, which is a happy event in the history of the development of Xiazhuang. The people rejoiced and cheered, so that the Lantern Festival that year, fireworks were set off at the head of the newly erected bridge, and lotus lanterns were released on the river in front of and behind the bridge to celebrate. Since then, traditional folklore has been formed. When the annual Lantern Festival comes, Xia Zhuang will hold a grand fireworks and lantern party at the bridge and on the nearby river.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the banks of the Wuhe River are full of fireworks, lanterns, gongs and drums, and the crowd is happy. I saw that on the trees along the banks of the Wu River, each of them was pulling a long rope. Each household lifts the most colorful lantern in the house and hangs it on it. In the distance, the two strings of colored lights look like a shower. Among the light and shadow, the flowing water, the shore and the river surface shine together, like two golden and brilliant colored dragons. There are also riddle frame lights on the walls of streets and alleys, and the horse turning lights, most of which are some cardboard cuts of Journey to the West characters. Driven by the heat of the candle flame, it is constantly rotated in an orderly manner and animated. Palace lamps, watermelon lamps on the door of the home, carp lamps, butterfly lamps, mussel lamps, watermelon lamps, bird lights, five-star lamps, monkey pounding garlic lamps... It is almost a sea of lights that dress up the banks of the Wu River.
The Wuhe River danced for the Lantern Festival, and thousands of families laughed and frowned. The people of The people of The villages of Benzhuang went out of their homes; the people of the four villages and eight villages, including Boxing, came to the riverbank and watched the lights and flowers together. At that time, the crowds will be crowded and the water will not be able to leak. When the time was set, the river lantern boats came against the water from the north of the village to the south, followed by gong and drum boats, band boats, drama boats, firework boats, and spectator boats. On the boat in the river, the sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, shouts, and cheers intertwined and resounded through the clouds. Wherever the river lantern boats go, there is a climax of joy. On the docks on both sides of the strait, fire trees and silver flowers compete with each other; firecrackers are fired in unison, and gongs and drums are noisy. The people cheered and applauded, and the mood was raised to the extreme.
Under the illumination of the lanterns and flowers on both sides of the Wu River, the reflection of the water reflected in the glittering colors is simply a magical kaleidoscope. The young men and women on the river lamp boat folded the multicolored river lamp with their dexterous hands, and lit the wick of the river lamp and placed it in the water. I saw that the five-color river lights of red, green, yellow, blue and orange were like shining crystal lotuses, slowly floating on the surface of the black painted water... In this wonderland on earth, there was a poem that said: "The east wind blooms a thousand trees at night, and the colorful river lights float on the water." Crystal sparkling like a jewel, exquisite jade carving. Borrow the magic hand of the fairy goddess and dress up the wonders of the human scene. Chang'e smiled at the Galaxy Tour, singing and dancing softly. ”
At the beginning of the new year, the river lamp boats gathered under the Xiazhuang Bridge, and people with high interest waited for the table flowers and pole flowers on the bridge to be lit. Suddenly, the bridge flowers burned, but when I saw the fire tree and the silver flowers, I only heard the firecracker gongs and drums like thunder, and I couldn't see the March ming, the salute bombs, the drill whistles, the flower poles... Can't see enough flowers, magic bullets, gold lamps, silver lamps, and iron flowers soaring into the sky. The truth is: "Ten thousand families rejoice in the night of good supper, and the jade rabbit rises in the east and the moon is round."
After burning flowers and putting out river lamps, three plays are staged at the same time. This is the Peking Opera class in Xiazhuanghou Village, the Lu Opera Class in Beicun, and the Wuyin Opera Class in Qiancun. People choose their own drama groups according to their own preferences; watching until midnight, the interest is still strong.
In the 1960s, the Xiazhuang Bridge was converted into a reinforced concrete structure bridge. Because it was the time of the Siqing Movement, it was named the Siqing Bridge. Since then, the traffic has been on the Malong Bridge, and the bottom of the boat swing bridge has been an unprecedented grand occasion. As a result, the annual lanterns, the years of fireworks, the singing and dancing, the foot shows a prosperous scene.
Wuhe River, known as Shuishui in ancient times, originates from Linzi Dwarf Locust Tree Village and winds for hundreds of miles. When it flows through the Xiazhuang boundary into the lake, it shows a graceful and calm, pampered and unfazed look. In the past, during normal years, the river was crystal clear, the shore was overgrown with reeds and vines, the green brocade satin water grass swayed under the grooming of the water, and all kinds of fish and shrimp, hair crabs, clams were born under the water... Fish and shrimp scurry up and down between the algae, chasing happily. On the water, geese and ducks play in the water, and boats are like shuttles.
The villagers of Xiazhuang have lived and bred on the water and soil of the Wu River Basin for generations, relying on the Wu River to thirst, water, brush, and ship, and have been able to reproduce and live for generations. The water of the Wu River, which is like pure juice, also enriches the Ma Ta Lake, which is rich in products and unique in landscape. It is precisely because the ancestors knew the river and chose to live near the water that they derived the rich style of the northern country of Jiangnan like "JinQifeng and Yinxiazhuang, which cannot catch up with the fish and dragons".
Huibo White Lotus On the east bank of present-day Mata Lake and on the east side of XiaSi Village, it is the ruins of the ancient Hui city. The site is slightly square, about half a kilometer long and wide, and the base of the wall is about one and a half meters high. The surrounding is high and the middle is low, like a small basin. Locals call it Dongchengzi. Tomorrow Qi's "Chronicle of Xincheng County" says: "Huicheng, Old Zhiyun: Forty miles northeast of Xincheng, the old legend is the Qi Huan Guild Alliance. According to the investigation, the ancient is Pingzhou. In the first year of the Western Zhou Dynasty (827 BC), the guild Qi Hou was here, and the name was Huicheng. Han placed Ping'an County here. Mang Xin changed his name to "Hongmu". The Southern Song Dynasty placed Changle County. In the eighteenth year of the Sui Kai Emperor, it was changed to Huicheng County. The east pillow of Huicheng is shuishui, and the west is the Wu River, between Qiancheng and Bochang. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was a strategic place in the north and south of the State of Qi.
Hui berth is the original Huicheng Berth. Tomorrow, the "Chronicle of Xincheng County" says: "Huicheng Po is the Red Lotus Po, in the east of the Wuhe River, the east of the Huipo Red Lotus City is forty miles." When the autumn water arrives, it is vast, full of hibiscus, red and green, and a dark fragrance blows on people, especially the victory. "It can be seen that at that time, the summer village had already been cultivated with lotus roots, and the natural landscape was already a blue wave of red lotuses, which included autumn and summer. This scene was known as one of the "Eight Views of the New City" in the Ming Dynasty.
According to legend, the name of this place is Huicheng, which is because the "one-in-one" alliance among the nine princes of the Duke of Qi Huan occurred here. Wang Yuyang sighed in the "Two Absolute Sentences of Jinqiu Lake": "Huicheng is vaguely connected to the green hills, and the sand birds float and sink into the rapids." Looking at the cold and autumn colors, the princes once met In Pingzhou. "The legendary ancient city, majestic and spectacular, humanities gathering, surrounded by prosperity, scenery lotus, is simply a beautiful scenery on earth." It is also said that Confucius once led his disciples here to spread cultural etiquette.
The water over the stone gate, will reflect the ancient city, the lotus color is blue, the lotus is dotted red. Xiazhuang is located between the original Mata Lake and Huicheng Lake. In the middle of summer, look around the lake, the rivers and lakes and harbors, the blue waves, the shallow reeds, lush, endless. The lotus leaves set off the blooming white lotus flowers, and the breeze sends a wisp of fragrance, which is refreshing.
The original red lotus in the lake area was later improved by the variety and replaced by the white lotus root. Because of the pink and white light flowers of the lotus, it is also known as the "White Lotus of Huibo". White lotus root has the characteristics of raw sweet and crisp, no dregs, cooked food with beautiful and fragrant taste, long aftertaste, etc., so it is famous far and wide, attracting many merchants. According to legend, during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, local officials wrapped the freshly picked fresh white lotus root with lotus leaves, chose a fast horse to gallop through Kyoto, and honored the holy shangpin. The emperor was full of praise after hearing this, and it caused a sensation in the Manchu Dynasty. The white lotus of Huipo has since shocked the world and become a tribute. In recent years, many domestic and foreign tourists, in addition to watching the natural style of Ma Ta Lake, tasting white sugar ginger shredded mixed with crisp lotus root is also a long-cherished wish of the opportunity to feast. The real thing is "Huibo White Lotus is famous, fresh and sweet and crisp and fragrant." Lotus leaf wrapped lotus punch shattered, condiment ginger shredded plus sugar. It is rare to taste the lotus under the flowers, and the wanderer returns with lotus fragrance. ”
Limingqiao City When Xia Huangzhuang formed the land of fish and rice can not be checked, but there is a morning market every day. By the fifty-seventh year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1718), the morning market had been established. Extended during the Qianlong period, the formation of Limingqiao City, green vegetables, melons and fruits, porridge meat and other side foods are relatively complete. In addition, the second and seventh markets were also established in the fifth year of Qianlong (1740). 365 days a year, every day trading booming. Villagers rely on the lake to eat the lake, live on the lake, and catch fish and shrimp for the business, which is a good trick passed down from generation to generation, and it is also a source of income for maintaining their livelihood. As soon as the East was brightened, people who were doing buying and selling gathered in the Bridgehead Market.
Villagers sell the fished lake fish turtle shrimp and crabs on the market. The lake is rarely listed all year round, including carp, crucian carp, catfish, blackfish, turtle, grass carp, silver carp, prawns, long-haired crabs, white striped fish, loach, yellow eel, etc. More than 20 kinds, as well as wild ducks, golden silk duck eggs, white lotus root, etc., which are best-selling all year round. The taste of the water town lake, diverse, unique taste, there are words: "rice fried hair crab pepper, yellow eel pu vegetable soup; fresh shrimp stir-fried coriander, black fish cabbage help; hair crab boiled pumpkin, turtle stewed chicken soup; wild duck rice stir-fried, the emperor rare taste." ”
At the same time, the morning market also attracts merchants from afar, who bring fresh goods and daily necessities to the lake area; but they see vegetable sprouts, meat, pasta, grain and oil and various daily necessities, which are placed in all corners.
Sunset Lotus Boat Water Town September, autumn high and refreshing. The leaves are pale and the ears of rice are golden. At this time, it is also the harvest season of white lotus roots. People rushed to the lake early, busy picking lotus roots, busy lotus rows. Whenever the sun sets, the fully loaded lotus boats gather on the Wu River, and the bow and stern of the boats flock to the city. Stacks of white lotus roots as white as jade were painted with a layer of silver golden light under the illumination of the setting sun.
The boat entered the village, and the child stood on the riverbank dock under the point of the village girl on the shore, shouting at the uncle, and begging for crisp lotus with a sweet mouth. As soon as the boat docked, I saw seven large and small lines inside and outside, rubbing shoulders and heeling, and people shouting and shouting. After bargaining, the merchants from outside the lotus line were busy weighing, paying, loading the car, and the next step was to traffic the white lotus root in all directions.
It can really be said: "Picking the lotus out of the rising sun, full of loads and returning to the sunset; a thousand boats weaving river brocade, nine autumn rushes to sell busy.".
River dry green willow Holy willow spring with silk, river corridor leaf green thick; along the creek raccoon woman, pestle splashing water splashing. In the traditional summer village, on the shore of the lake, in front of the house, there are many willow trees. At the beginning of spring, thousands of trees are yellow, willows are swaying, spitting green and green, full of life. But seeing the banks of the Wu River, the green willows seem to be lined up, and the giant crowns are lined with each other. In the summer and summer, dressed in green veils, the queues are formed; the cicadas between the branches of the trees rise and fall, and the warblers sing and dance. At the entrance of the Wuhe River into the lake, there is a small bridge flowing in the Liumo Putang, which looks like a wordless poem and a three-dimensional painting. The farmyard is full of apricot blossoms and peach blossoms, and in the wind and the beautiful sun, the beautiful shadows stretch out. This intoxicating beauty will linger even for the immortals.
In the middle of summer, the scenery on both sides of the Wuhe River is beautiful, the scenery is quiet, the breeze is gusting, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of the lake.
Haofa crossed the sunset year, traveling eight thousand miles; the bridge box Ying Yao sat, teasing Sun and fighting chess. At this time, the biggest leisure pleasure of the elderly in the village is to carry a brace and gather under the giant willow old locust at the head of the Xiazhuang bridge to cool off, or play cards, or play chess, but more often sit around, talk about the world, talk about the ancient road and the present, talk about the "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", pull the "list of gods" and "three heroes and five righteousnesses", recall the old things, and sigh the years. There is often no topic, but there is always a topic to talk about. Often a person casually causes a certain conversation, and then you pick me up, pull the flag downwind, and pull loosely for most of the day. If you look back, you really can't remember what you talked about. Or because of the difference in the memory of the past, it provokes a debate to restore the truth. You come and go, I speak, show a look of innocence, and look at it with a different feeling.
Although there is no agreement, but every day when the hour arrives, many have gathered, so it is jokingly called Lao hanzi City by the townspeople. If one day one of them does not arrive, he will discuss and speculate about the reason, and then he will become alert and wonder whether something unexpected has arisen. Once the sound of misfortune came, he sighed that there was one less playmate, and he sighed that life was extinguished like a candle. The feeling of that moment was really "white-haired old man, above the bridge; habitually watching, several degrees of sunset; eyes sent, babbling wuhe north of the river"
Stone Gate Turbulence At the lake where the Wuhe River enters the lake, that is, north of Xiazhuang Village, there is a stone gate, which is called North Dam by the villagers. The Republic of China's "Chronicle of rebuilding Xincheng County" says: "Xiazhuang Stone Gate, fifty miles north of the city, in the north of Xiazhuang. In the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong (1759), Shandong Inspector Altai played "Reclamation of Rice Fields" and placed earthen dams here to store time and drain. After Yi Yi shi, ZhiXian Zhai Yi was established. In order to commemorate Zhai Fei, a good county official who served as an official and benefited one side, posterity called this "Zhai Gong gate".
During the Qianlong period, in the area around Xiazhuang and Mata Lake, there were many lake swamps with thorny grasses and deserted land with flooded saline alkali, and drought was cracked and anxious, and flooding was monstrous. After Zhai Fei took office in Xincheng Zhixian County, he aroused great concern for the living conditions of the people, accepted the courtesy of Tian Bing, a villager in Xiazhuang, on behalf of the people, and proposed to The Inspector of Shandong Altai a plan to change the wasteland of the lake depression to rice fields. The general content of this plan is to implement comprehensive water conservancy improvement of river channels, dredging irrigation canals, building embankments and building gates in accordance with the principle of digging canals and diverting water to the field and saving and storing at the same time, and using the fertile Water of the Wu River to irrigate the alkali of the field, and reclaiming the lake swamp and saline wasteland into fertile rice fields.
In order to ensure the large area of water used after the reclamation of the lake is transformed into rice fields, it is necessary to use "the water of the Oolong River to be used by all the fields, and it should be used as a saving, and the downstream of the irrigation river should be applied". Therefore, it is imperative to build a stone gate. After Zhai Fei's reclamation plan was mature, he asked the Governor of Shandong to take care of Altai, and in the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong (1759), he officially presented to the imperial court the "New City and Other Places to Control Rice Field Thinning", which was immediately accurate. When Zhai Fei received the approval, he immediately organized the strength of thirteen villages along the lake to build the Xiazhuang Stone Gate. After 3 months of intense construction, a magnificent and beautifully shaped stone gate is across the water of the Wu River. The stone gate is completely made of finely processed block stone, more than 10 meters high, 25 meters long, divided into the middle main gate and the left and right two pairs of locks. The sluice plates are made of selected conifer wood and are tightly set in a neatly chiseled stone sluice. During the water storage season, the gate is closed and stored, and the river is blocked and introduced into the rice fields in the lake area; when the water is abundant, the gate is opened and discharged into the Xiaoqing River. There is a spillway on each side of the sub-gate, which plays a role in drainage and diversion in the autumn flood season to reduce the punching pressure on the stone gate. The west side of the gate set aside 1.7 acres of land, which was produced for the daily work and food of the 2 gatekeepers, and 5 houses were built, with four walls, as the residence of the gatekeepers.
It is reported that the Zhai Gate was completed on the second day of the first month of May in the 26th year of Qianlong (1761). At that time, in front of the sacred purpose of the stone gate, firecrackers sounded in unison, gongs and drums were noisy, and the crowd celebrating the completion of the stone gate was thunderous. The boat fish at the gate run through the line; the boatman tracker shouts in unison, and the sound is trembling and clear. Since then, an ancient Zhai gate has suddenly dociled the wild and unruly river water, and obediently obeyed the dispatch for hundreds of years. Usually, in the annual scene, the dredging and excavation of the lake and beach depression is a slow flow of clear water from the Wu River, which can store water in drought and divide the flood when it is waterlogged, thus reversing the situation of Feng sorry to a large extent.
In the past, more than 300 hectares of lake swamps and flooded saline wasteland abandoned land were overgrown with thorny grasses, but after the successful reclamation and reform, non-extreme catastrophe years have almost become the "golden basin bottom" for drought and flood protection. Among them, the rice with big red mango, that is, the famous Matahu Fragrant Rice - full of particles, translucent body, oil lustrous and shiny, fragrant when steamed, has the reputation of "ten incense for a family to cook", eat full of fragrance, and later become a tribute to the imperial court.
According to reports, the Zhai Gong Gate stands majestically on the Ma Ta Lake, which is steaming in the clouds. In the early morning, the two strong banks contain the torrent; in the sunset, the rice wave square fields near and far are stacked with green incense, which is a major landscape of the water town. For a while, there were countless literati and inkers who rushed to visit and do it. However, the water level of the north and south of this gate has fallen by more than one meter, and the water potential has rushed down from south to north. But I saw the floodgates surging and splashing like snow. The north of the lock is as deep as Zhangyu, and the rapids form a whirlpool where the goose feathers must sink, which is very spectacular. I have seen swimmers go down the river, be swept into the whirlpool of more than one deep in the sky by the angry waves, and dive out for tens of meters before they can expose the surface of the water to breathe. This stone gate is turbulent, so that people can appreciate the thrilling scene of the rapid surge of the river and the sea.
Even more fascinating is the sight of the boat crossing the locks. At that time, there were many water transport ships, and the boats were crowded with ships from time to time. In order to make the group of boats cross the lock, the lock is first placed on the connecting dam. Suddenly, the water rises at the gate. Then, the ships lined up; the gondoliers on both sides of the strait carried the ropes and forcefully led the boats to cross the locks. Suddenly, the boatman shouted, the sound was thunderous, and the scene was spectacular. If there are boats going north, they should also be locked at the dam. After the water level rises, the ships fish through and down the river, running for the journey. However, if the ship's helm is slightly unstable, there will be a disaster of crashing into the shore and overturning the ship.
At that time, the Wuhe River was the main water transport route between Huantai Boxing and The Water Transport, known as the "Water Station". Every day, day and night, hundreds of ships pass through this lock. The lights of the ship are lit all night long, forming a spectacular scene of zhai locks. Throughout the year, the water is turbulent, the waves are gushing, the boats are like shuttles, and the voices of people are boiling, which is a great scenic spot.
At that time, a dragon stone stele was erected on the east bank of the stone gate, with the full text of the emperor's holy will engraved on the front, and the inscription was engraved with a detailed record of the repair of the gate. It is a pity that the monument was destroyed during the war years and has disappeared.
The years have passed, it has been nearly a hundred years, and the "Eight Views of Xia zhuang" of the past years, although sometimes it is regrettable to pass through the border, but it has a long history of ancient wind and charm.
Trade pioneer Tian Junmei
In recent history, Xiazhuang was originally a major commercial port in the lower reaches of the Wu River. The formation and development of this commercial port is associated with a name, that is, Tian Junmei, a famous trader from Xiazhuang.
Tian Junmei, 18 years old, took the middle school Xiucai, and later went to the provincial city to participate in the township examination. Near the end of the answer, he was shocked to hear the bad news of his mother's illness and death, just like five thunderbolts, he immediately abandoned the paper and resigned from the exam and ran home from the funeral. It is rumored that the examination papers were not named at that time, and they were secretly exchanged with the examination alumni. That friend was lucky; a few years later, he was given the title of Zhongjinshi and released the title of county. This scholar is a native of Boxing Longhe. In order to repay their kindness, the two married Jinlan and later funded him to found Guangju City.
After Tian Junmei buried her mother, it coincided with the flooding of the Mata Lake area for many years, and the summer crops were not harvested. He gave up the examination to obtain a meritorious name, led the second brother and the third brother to sell fish and shrimp, shoulder to shoulder to rush to the Zhou village 45 kilometers away to sell, in order to make a living. A few years have passed, not only to save the lives of the old and young at home, but also to make some money.
Tian Junmei found that the local lotus root was more suitable for selling well in other places, so she used the money earned to buy shallow water in the lake area and try to plant lotus roots. A few years later, the famous lotus of the South Four Lakes was introduced, which was improved and replaced to make it suitable for local water and soil. Raw and sweet and crisp, cooked and sticky and soft, it can be described as a superior product and is very popular. His success in planting lotus roots led the vast number of villagers to reclaim the reed beach in the shallow water area and become a lotus field, which made it a common practice to plant lotus roots in Xiazhuang, Yulong, Huagou and along the North River at that time. With the increasing number of lotus farmers, he raised funds to select sites and land to build houses, founded the Guangjucheng Industrial Company in 1896, and successively set up sales offices in Boshan, Laiwu, Zhoucun, Jinan, Pingyuan, Yucheng, Dezhou and other places. The establishment of industrial companies, one industry with multiple industries. In addition to export sales, lotus flour processing has also been added. Tian Junmei is pragmatic and capable, has a way to make money, welcomes visitors from all over the world every day, and picks up boats and ships dock every day. In front of the door, there is a steady stream of merchants, and the company's guests and merchants are gathered. He took "one penny to eat enough to eat, and very profitable to starve people to death" as the law, small profits and high sales, treat guests with sincerity, and tong shu is not deceived. The local Lotus people did not worry about sales, handed over lotus roots, and took cash money; merchants from afar brought four-way grain and rice specialties to benefit the broad masses of the people, so the business was prosperous and the wealth was widespread. Because of his enterprising spirit, diligence, generosity, kindness, and charity, he later became a well-known business celebrity.
After 1937, the Japanese devils "swept up" and invaded Xiazhuang. Dozens of villagers were killed, including Tian Junmei's nephew and grandson. Guangju City was also robbed by the devils. The hatred of the family and the country made Tian Junmei in her later years hate the little Japanese devil. The Kuomintang did not resist, and the Communist guerrillas organized the militia to rise up against Japan, which gave him hope. At this time, for saving the country and saving the people, as an old man, he could no longer go to battle to kill the enemy, but his enthusiasm for patriotic protection inspired him. At that time, he provided logistical support for Ma Yaonan and Yang Guofu to contribute to the anti-Japanese forces. During the years of war and chaos, hundreds of industries withered away. He decided to shut down and disintegrate the industrial company, transfer the small shares to a number of people to operate, and not fall into the hands of the Japanese, so he donated a large amount of money to the anti-Japanese and national salvation team; some of the funds and field property were divided among the clansmen and half to the villagers in Zhuangli; and a small part of the field property was left to his descendants in order to rely on themselves and run the family diligently and frugally.
Tian Junmei has been in Guangju City for more than 40 years, making friends with merchants, benefiting the people, benefiting the township, revitalizing the economy of one side, being deeply supported by the business community, and winning the praise of the township.
Mr. Ta-boned
Tian's orthopedics began in the Light Years of the Qing Dynasty, and Tian Dianju (1820-1886) was the ancestor of Tian's orthopedics. Legend has it that when he was young, he went up to a tree to cut firewood, and accidentally fell, causing a fracture of the fibula in his right tibia.

When Qianlong was young, he was loved by his mother-in-law, and Qianlong also intended to repay the favor. The nurse has a son, named Rope Wu, Chang Qianlong is 2 years old, greedy and tired of reading, and the result is not the first. After Qianlong ascended the throne, he appointed Shengwu as the county of Xinchengzhi.
In that year, when Qianlong was driving to the new city on a partial tour, he heard about the red lotus mysterious realm of the city, so that Shengwu accompanied the driving city for a visit. Qianlong went to Huicheng Po to visit the grand scenery of the Red Lotus. Boxing County Ling also served with the driver, and set up a banquet in a pavilion in the city.
During the banquet, the two Zhixian raised the dispute over the border between Xincheng and Boxing counties, and respectfully requested the Holy Father to rule on the judgment. The Qianlong Emperor picked up the bamboo chopsticks on the table and placed them on the fish bed bowl in the center of the table in a north-south direction, and said in one sentence: "This is the border between the new city and Boxing." ”
Jun wu joked, Qianlong set the border with chopsticks, and the dispute between the two counties for many years has since ended. (Wei Yugeng)
