Land Temple Village, also known as "Tudi Temple" Village, is located 19 kilometers east of Cao County and 4.5 kilometers west of the government headquarters of Suji Town, Cao County. The settlement is a long block from north to south, 600 meters from north to south, 400 meters from east to west, with a total area of 2.4 square kilometers, an area of 1.8 square kilometers of arable land, and a village area of 0.6 square kilometers; 4 east-west streets, 2 north-south streets; more than 610 households, more than 1,830 people, all of whom are Han chinese, with 11 surnames of Li, Zhao, Xue, Zhang, Zuo, Wang, Liu, Hu, Niu, Chen, and Lu, with the surname Li being the most. Mainly agriculture. According to the "Li Family Tree", in the second year of Ming Hongwu (1309), the ancestors of the Li clan moved from Hongdong in Shanxi to Wubaiwang Village, and later branched the Jining Land Temple, and then settled here from the Jining Land Temple, which is still named Land Temple. Talking about the history of Land Temple Village, it is inevitable to involve a special political geography concept "enclave" - before the Land Temple Village was assigned to Cao County in the Republic of China period, it was actually under the jurisdiction of the former Heze County in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Before the founding of New China, it belonged to the five districts of Fucheng County, and in 1955, it established the Land Temple Primary Society, and in 1956, it was established as the Land Temple Senior Society; in 1958, it was assigned to Suji People's Commune; in 1979, it belonged to Gonglou People's Commune; in 1983, it belonged to Gonglou Township; in 2001, it was withdrawn and merged with the town, and it belonged to Suji Town so far.
Qing Guangxu Yanweike (1883) Was born here.
Li Jingye (1855 ~ 1943), also known as Xinfu, was a famous incorruptible official, scholar and poet in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. His family was in a difficult situation, and when he was young, he relied on his grandfather to fund his education. In 1879, Li Jingye was appointed as the head of the household department. In the thirty-second year (1906), he served as a member of the Guizhou Department of the Household Department, and was promoted to the position of Fujian Division and the Financial Department.
Beijing Guozijian
Guozijian, where the Beijing Capital Museum is located, has a forest of steles, which is the inscription of jinshi of various dynasties in the nearly 600 years from the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty of China, and on a stele inscribed with the inscription of the ninth year of Guangxu, the five characters of "Heze Li Jingye" are impressively listed. Although the land temple village at that time was located in the territory of Cao County, it belonged to SuiningDu of Heze County, which was a piece of land (enclave) in Cao County of Heze County, and the household registration of the Li family should belong to Heze County. Therefore, after Li Jingye passed the examination for the jinshi, the official engraved "Heze Li Jingye" on the jinshi monument, and Li Jingye's calligraphy inscriptions in the future were mostly "Heze Li Jingye", which is the reason for this.
The Inscription of the Jinshi
Li Binggong enforced the law, did not avoid the powerful, and did not collude with corrupt officials and corrupt officials. In the twenty-fourth year of the Qing Dynasty (1898), Shandong Province handled the stocks, and those in power were sent according to the hard nature of the fields and acres, which increased the burden on the people, so he played it according to the situation that "this is the law that disturbs the people", and the Guangxu Emperor immediately adopted it and strictly prohibited it. In the thirty years of the Qing Dynasty, Li grief-stricken and angry at the weakness of the country, vigorously advocated the Western form of government and held a constitutional government, which was suspected by those in power. Yuan Shikai and others took the opportunity to attack, fabricated charges, and participated in Li Jingye, and Li was demoted to the prefect of Lianzhou (五品官) by the military plane.
When Li Jingye was the governor of Lianzhou, the post office was governed by foreigners, and there was a mistake in the work of a Chinese employee, and the foreigners planned to forcibly deal with it. Li Zheng, with his national power and human rights, stepped forward, personally went to the post office three times, argued according to reason, and resolutely wanted to return this person and let China deal with it. The solemn and righteous spirit finally made the foreigners arrive. Lianzhou is located in the borderlands, the land is poor, and the culture is backward. After Li Ying took office, he was exempted from harsh taxes and miscellaneous donations, reduced the burden on the people, vigorously built schools, advocated civilization, and greatly changed people's hearts. In order to facilitate transportation, funds were also raised to build the Lianzhou Ximen Bridge, and the plaque of "Hui'ai Bridge" was personally written, which is still embedded in the top of the bridge. The three characters of "Hui'ai Bridge" in the Wind and Rain Pavilion of Hui'ai Bridge in present-day Lianzhou and the three characters of "Dongpo Pavilion" hanging on the main entrance of Dongpo Pavilion are Li Jingye's handwriting. The stone carved couplet of the Guanyin Hall of Dongshan Temple: the body is the general's heart protection; Zhigui Dashili Descending Demons" is also li Jingye's title.
Hui'ai Bridge was listed as a national cultural relics protection unit in 2013 and became a famous tourist attraction.

At the end of his three-year term, he was transferred to the general office of Hubei Mint General Factory. This is where the right lies, Lee did not seek self-satisfaction, he should have gladly taken office, but he resolutely said that he was returning to The Valley. At that time, Lianzhou's father and father ate pot paste, sent long distances, attachment, and indescribable feelings. He also gave two "umbrellas for all the people" and a "plaque for a thousand people", and his political achievements were recorded in the annals of Lianzhou history. The following year, the Xinhai Revolution broke out in Wuchang, Hubei Province, and Ke Shaochen, a prominent eunuch and scholar in Jiaozhou, admired Li Jingye from zhongzhong, believing that he had already seen the signs that the Qing Dynasty was about to perish, and Ke Shao said with admiration: In the second year of Xuan reunification, Jun appointed Guangdong prefect to the Taoist and Dong Hubei Mint. Next year, when the military incident in Xinhai Hubei began, the country was weak, and the people began to serve the king and knew how early, and they went to the heart of righteousness.
After Li returned to his hometown, he lived in simplicity and picked chrysanthemums from the eastern fence. In 1911, when the Republic of China was established, the important members of the Republic of China went to pay respects and wanted to invite him to come out as an official, but Li Wanyan refused. In the 24th year of the Republic of China, Han Fuyu, who had just taken charge of Shandong, personally came to Cao to visit Li Jingye and wanted to hire his grandson Li Xu'an as the director of the Shandong Education Department and Han Zhi's secretary, but Li Jingye politely refused. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese and the Japanese also repeatedly asked him to "preside over the localities," but he always refused and sternly admonished his descendants not to associate with him, maintaining a noble national integrity.
The Communist Party's sincere resistance to Japan deeply touched Li and supported the Party's anti-Japanese work in many ways. In March 1938, Yu Ziyuan, a member of the Cao County Working Committee of the Communist Party of China and minister of the Democracy Movement, came to Cao Southeast to carry out work and lived in the Li family for a long time. Zhang Zhiguang, the head of the ccp's single-county underground party, was wanted by the pseudo-county magistrate and hid in the Li family. Li Duoduo did the work and finally got him out of danger. At the end of the year, the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, led by Acting Brigade Commander Yang Dezhi, went south, and on the 17th day of the 10th month of the ancient calendar, it was blocked by Zeng Litang of the Kuomintang local armed forces Li Wenzhai in Wenlou, and Yang lived in Li's house to direct the battle, and fought fiercely for three days and nights, but failed to conquer it. Later, Li Duoduo did the work, and finally the two sides reached an agreement, clearing the obstacles for Yang To go south smoothly.
In the spring of the second year of the Republic of China, there was a great drought in Cao County. Li Jingye also wrote the poem "Eating Alfalfa" and melancholy: "There are few vegetables in the drought for a long time, and the price of elm money is equal." "In his hometown land temple village, there was a large area of mulberry forest of the Li family, and at that time, the hungry people of the villages around the land temple ran to the li family mulberry forest to fill the hunger with young mulberry leaves. Mr. Li Jingye felt empathy for the suffering of the people, and always instructed his family, "If you encounter a poor person picking leaves from a tree, you must turn a blind eye, and do not shout loudly, lest you be frightened and fall injured." He also used the temple fair to put rice in Lengdian Village in the southeast corner of the county town many times to help the victims and save many people. The old man has a kind heart and cares about the hardships of the township, especially to the neighbors around the hometown land temple village, so decades later, the surrounding village neighbors are still grateful for the good of the land temple Li family!
Li, Xu Jiru (a cousin), Yao Shumi, and Chen Jiyu were friends with Mo Rebellion, jointly organized the CaoXian Poetry Society, and published the twelve volumes of the Singing and Collecting Poems into the Singing and Collecting Works. Due to the chaos of the war, the volume of the Cao Nan Poetry Society's Biography and Observation Manuscript could not be printed. Later, he personally led the doorman Jiang Ruqing to participate in the compilation of Qufu and Shan County Chronicles, and guided Jiang to compile the "Case of Han Confucianism", filling a gap in Chinese historiography. Li grew up in Linchi, his books are thin, soft in steel, and he is good at teaching, and has innovated. The poems he wrote were so rich that they were destroyed by the war. It is rarely printed, and its calligraphy is scattered in luyu and yu provinces, or it may be rare.

Qi Baishi and Li Jingye
Qi Baishi's visit to Beihai was in April, the fourth month of the lunar calendar in 1909, and around the tenth day of the first month, Qi Baishi became acquainted with Li Xinfu, the prefect of Lianzhou, and was invited to inscribe the seals of "Two Thousand Stones" and "Guan LingZhuGuan" for Li Xinfu. Li Xinfu is Li Jingye. During his tenure as prefect of Lianzhou (1907-1910), Li Jingye enforced the law impartially, did not avoid the powerful, did not collude with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and did a lot of good things for the people of Lianzhou. In Qi Baishi's view, pearls are abundant in the Hepu Sea, and it is also the location of the allusion of "Pearls Returning hepu", so he inscribed "Two Thousand Stones" and "Pipe Leading Pearl Officer" for Li Xinfu, in order to convey the meaning of Meng's taste of keeping Hepu and returning the pearls. Li Xinfu was very happy after seeing it, and also inscribed his own "Spring Cold Poem" on the tuan fan surface as a return. In order to thank Li Zhifu for his friendship, Qi Baishi also engraved the "Spring Cold Poem" on Li Xinfu's seal, and also specially wrote the "Seal of Li Xinfu" to Zhizhi: "Xuanun he was in April, and Yu was a visitor to the end of the world." Ying Lian Zhou Tai Shou Li Xinfu Mr. Seal Ancient Two Thousand Stones Also, and Guan LingZhu Guan and other seals. Tai Shou repaid it with Tuan Fan's self-book "Spring Cold Poem", Yu Xizhi. Fu Felt That He Had Lived in Straw Clothes and Read Many People, Who Could Work Poetry and Books, Met Mr. Wang Xiangqi and Wang Yuegong, Fan Flounder, Xia Qiu, Yu Zhifei, Wang Wuchao, Li Junyi, Zeng Zijiao, Du and Li Mei were obsessed with each other and could not get to know each other, and they were with TaiShou, all of whom hated things. Ingillah's "Spring Cold Poem" is printed on this side, with zhi admiration; And want to attach the public life club golden stone also. Qi Huang and remember. ”
The inscription in the diary, "Two Thousand Stones", originally referred to as "Two Thousand Stones" in the inscription, originally referred to the imperial court's giving of the Taishou (prefect) first-class official Feng Lu, which here refers to the honorific title of Taishou's position. "Guan LingZhu Guan" refers to Li Jingye's duties. Hepu had set aside the jurisdiction of Zhuguan County during the Three Kingdoms of Wu. At that time, Li Jingye was the prefect of Lianzhou, in charge of the military and political affairs of Lianzhou, so he was praised as "the official in charge of the pearls". Qi Huang in "Qi Huang and Remember" is the real name of Qi Baishi. Qi Baishi, real name Huang, the character is on the verge of life, a native of Xiangtan County. Because of the shiju county south of the white stone mountain, so the name of the white stone mountain people.
Qi Baishi cherished this exchange with Li Jingye, the governor of Lianzhou, and recalled in his diary: From the age of forty in the year of Nongyin (1902) to the eight years of age of forty-seven, I visited the famous landscapes of Shaanxi, Beijing, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangsu and other places. It can be seen from this that Qi Baishi's admiration for Li Jingye.
In 1943, the 89-year-old Li Jingye died in Cao County, and was buried in his hometown of Land Temple Village. In 1966, when the Cultural Revolution took off, Li Jingye, who had been dead for 23 years, was doomed as a jinshi and feudal remnant of the late Qing Dynasty, and naturally he was also in the ranks of criticism, and it is said that a descendant of a Certain Li clan in the village personally excavated the grave of his ancestor Li Jingye as the leader of the rebel faction. Listening to the old people (my father-in-law's family and the Land Temple Li clan are family friends, when my father-in-law died, the Li clan came to mourn) said that Li Jingye's tomb is extremely deep, although it has been more than twenty years since burial, when he opened the coffin, his face was like life, wearing flowers and feathers, and his clothes and hats were still new. It is said that later the cypress coffin was used as the gate of the production team; the burial items were destroyed as a seal; and what is even more hateful is that the old man was exposed to the wilderness, and the bones were not known. Mr. Jingye has respected Confucianism all his life, refraining from self-denial, and teaching his descendants by example, but he did not expect that the time had only passed more than twenty years, but the hearts of the people in the world had turned upside down, which was probably something he never expected!
