A friend wanted me to recommend a red tourist route for a half-day tour of the whole state. Because many of my friends' units in other parts of the state have been there, and I was asked to recommend new routes for them, I offered some options for them to choose from, including the town of Shaoshui. There are many scenic spots in Shaoshui Town, such as the beautiful Dahui Waterfall, the ethnic customs miaozhai sheep horn village, the first division led by Nie Rongzhi of the Red First Army into the MeiziChong Ancient Pass in the YuechengLing Mountains, the ancient trenches of Qingpingjie, the ancient city wall left by the Baiyue War, and the Baitang Village, which has a relatively deep historical and cultural heritage.
I introduced the relevant historical and cultural attractions of Shaoshui Town, discussed with this friend who was the leader, and finally chose four places: Daping Ferry, Shuitou Village, Lejiayuan and Meitang Village as the route of the half-day tour. What, is there anything to see in these four places?
We planned our first stop to Go to Daping Ferry. Daping Ferry is named after Daping Village, Fenghuang Town, Jeonju County, and its function is mainly transitional, and the village is on the east bank of the Xiang River. The west bank of the Xiang River at Daping Ferry port belongs to Luokou Village in Shaoshui Town, which has historically functioned mainly in commerce and trade, and was once ranked with the upstream Jian'an Division and Fenghuangzui as the three ancient docks in the upper reaches of the Xiang River in Jeonju County.
Daping Ferry was the first port for the main central Red Army to break through the Xiang River.
In the early morning of November 27, 1934, the First Army, the most capable of fighting a good battle, crossed the river from here, controlled all the important crossings from Jeonju to Xing'an County along the west bank of the Xiang River, and controlled two very important blocking positions of Guanghuapu and Jiaoshanpu in the north and south, thus marking the breakthrough of Chiang Kai-shek's fourth blockade line by the central main Red Army and opening a life channel for the follow-up troops of the Central Red Army to cross the Xiang River.
Luokou Village was the first village of the First Army of the Central Main Red Army to set foot on the west bank of the Xiang River. However, the small piece of land on the west bank of the Xiang River, which is known as the film and television base, belongs to Daping in Fenghuang Town. Here Xiaobian witnessed and filmed a lot of movies and television. For example, in 1990, the movie "Long March" began filming here. Bayi Film Studio's film "My Long March", Guangxi Film Studio's large-scale feature film "Long March Passes Through Here", TV series "Long March" and so on are all filmed or filmed here. In the mid-1980s, the government financed the purchase of a large iron ship to carry cars and accommodate nearly 100 people to solve the problem of cross-strait road difficulties; In 1996, the government built a bridge on Watanabe.
The second stop is Lejiayuan, which was originally called The Foot Garden, and later changed to Lejiayuan for the sake of elegance. At the end of the Song Dynasty, it moved from Nanxi County, Zhejiang.
In the village, there was a father and son, Zhao Runsheng, and a son, Zhao Binglin.
Zhao Runsheng (1850-1905), the fourth person to be named in the fifth year of Guangxu (1879). Later, because his son Zhao Binglin was also admitted to the examination, he took his son with him to the Beijing Examination for Jinshi, only one year earlier than his son Zhongjinshi.
In order to enter the military, he spent two years in Beijing and met cen Chunxuan, a famous Guangxi native. Cen saw that he was "silent and reticent, and knew that he was Ru Shuo", so he asked him to be his son's tutor. After Zhao Runsheng became a soldier, the imperial court distributed Hunan supplements to Zhi County, and because of the shyness of his pockets, he borrowed 500 taels of silver from Cen Chunxuan before going to his post.
Because Zhao Runsheng was "sexually wooden", and the original inspector liked to be flashy and unrealistic, when he first arrived in Xiang, there was no difference or a committee. It was not until the more pragmatic Chen Baozhen (the grandfather of the great historian Chen Yinke) served as an inspector that he was initially appointed to Xinhua and acted as the governor of Yiyang Zhi County the following year. Following the supplementary grant of Xiangyin County Zhi County. In 27 years, he was transferred to Changning, and the following year he was promoted to the general judge of the Nanzhou Department. The Qing Shi Xun Guan says of him: "In the ten years of eunuch Xiang, whoever changes his post four times and has no case left behind, he will strictly investigate and protect the armor to clean up the good." ”
As a middle- and lower-level official, Zhao Runsheng's political achievements are not earth-shattering, but his strict requirements for his son Zhao Binglin are worth learning.
Zhao Runsheng became a jinshi in his 40s, and after his debut, he was only a county order, and the talent in his chest could not be fully used in politics, so he pinned his hopes on his son Zhao Binglin, who had written in the form of aphorisms.
Zhao Runsheng died of cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 56, and his deeds were recorded in the "Biography of Qing Shi Xun". Prince Shi Shaobao, Bingbu Shangshu, Duchayuan Right Governor Yushi, and Liangguang Governor Cen Chunxuan wrote epitaphs for him, and Tang Jingchong, the Left Attendant of the Ministry of Works and Tang Jingchong, a Guanyang man.
Zhao Binglin (1873~1927), Guangxu twenty-one years (1895), he was admitted to the Jinshi. There is also such an episode in kaojinshi.
In the past, the temple examination was very heavy, but this year's palace examination, the Guangxu Emperor, who had recently been pro-government, felt bitterly about the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War in the previous year, and those who expressed generosity and strategy in the major affairs of strengthening the country and enriching the people were more in the forefront and did not focus on the letters. Zhao Binglin's calligraphy at that time was not good, the examination paper was still wrong 5 characters, and the examiner glued five yellow signatures and placed them in the top three. The Guangxu Emperor ordered the examiner to take the entire list of examination papers for him to personally review. He saw that Zhao Binglin also had many unique insights in governing the country and strengthening the army. These views made the Guangxu Emperor feel refreshed and greatly appreciated, so he changed Zhao Binglin, who was originally listed as the third class, to the eleventh place of the second class.
In the same year that he was admitted to the army, Li Hongzhang signed the "Treaty of Maguan," and Kang Youwei united more than 1,300 people in various provinces in Beijing and jointly wrote a letter demanding that he refuse peace, move the capital, train troops, and change the law. Zhao Binglin and 97 other people from Guangxi participated in the "book on the bus." The "Book on the Bus" opened the prelude to the restoration and reform of the law.
When the change failed, he almost got into trouble, but was saved by the protection of his teacher Xu Tong. Empress Dowager Xi wanted to depose the Guangxu Emperor, but he was extremely opposed and put under social pressure, and Empress Dowager Cixi gave up the idea of deposing the emperor.
In August of the 32nd year of Guangxu, the 30-year-old Zhao Binglin was appointed as the inspector of the imperial history of Gyeonggi Province, Fujian Province, "young and vigorous, fierce and fierce, outspoken in the face of trouble, not afraid of the powerful, and known as the iron-faced imperial history." Together with his fellow officials, Zhao Qilin from Xiangtan, Hunan, and Jiang Chunlin, from Putian, Fujian, he did not shy away from the powerful and impeached corrupt officials, "directly shaking the world, and then called Sanlin", and the people of Beijing were also praised as "three pieces of cloth robes on politics". Because there is a famous "Mitsubishi Company" in Japan, some people jokingly call them "Mitsubishi Corporation" through the harmonic sound.
In October of the 34th year of Guangxu (1908), Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi died one after another, and Zaifeng, the father of Emperor Xuantong and the younger brother of Guangxu, was made regent. Zhao Binglin pointed out in his "Carved Yuan Shikai Shuo" on December 11 of that year that Yuan Shikai stayed on the military plane because "the country is undecided, and the future troubles are endless."
This analysis made Zaifeng creepy, he originally wanted to kill Yuan, but he was afraid of Yuan's great power, so on January 2 of the first year of Xuantong, in the name of Emperor Xuantong, he issued an edict saying that Yuan Shikai was "suffering from foot diseases, difficult to walk, and difficult to perform his duties", so that he could return to Henan to "recuperate".
For the treatment of Yuan Shikai in this way, Zhao Binglin was not satisfied. On the 24th, he again published the "Secret Chen Guan Shu Shu", suggesting that the regent should "think about it and retreat and cannot be re-advanced", and specifically pointed out: Yuan Xinzhi must be firm, the situation must be careful, the right people must be appointed, the party henchmen must be dissolved, the employment of personnel must not be full of Han, and the prime minister must not be set up suddenly. Zaifeng summoned Zhao Binglin to the Yangxin Hall for about an hour. Zhao Binglin suggested that the Guangxu Emperor's edict be declared, that is, to kill Yuan Shikai; amnesty for the party members. At that time, Zaifeng had already approved, but Zhang Zhidong strongly opposed it, and the matter was not successful.
In the 34th year of Guangxu, the Qing Dynasty set up consultative bureaus in various provinces, and Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangxi, asked Zhao to recommend talents and return to Guizhou to organize them. Zhao Binglin was invited by Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangxi, to recommend talents, and Zhao recommended some talented people in his hometown, such as Tang Shangguang and Jiang Bowen, who all made a difference because of his recommendation.
In April of the second year of Xuan reunification, he also impeached Yi Li, the chief of the Military Aircraft Department, and listed twelve major crimes, saying that Yi Li was "extremely evil in crime, and the heavens are angry and resentful." Yi Li was XuanTong's uncle and the elder of the Three Dynasties. Because Zhao Binglin had offended the clan and was ostracized by Yi Li and others, Zaifeng was worried that he would cause trouble, and in April of the third year of Xuan reunification, he returned to Guangxi as an alternate of sipin jingtang as the inspector of the Gui (Lin) Quan (Prefecture) Railway, and the office was located in the Wengong Ancestral Hall in Guilin, that is, Chen Hongmou Ancestral Hall. After Zhao Binglin took office, he immediately went to the railway to repair the railway and asked the Ministry of Posts and Communications to allocate funds.
On October 10 of that year, the Xinhai Revolution broke out. Zhang Mingqi, who had become the governor of Liangguang by bribing Yi Li, suggested that the imperial court divert more than 2 million taels of official shares of the Guiquan Railway, 500,000 taels of silver for running agricultural reclamation and raising industries, and more than 100,000 taels of jigu funds to Guangxi's military expenses. Zhang Mingqi played on a piece of paper, and Guangxi's plan to handle the railway eventually came to naught. Zhao Binglin sighed and composed a poem:
Wen Gong Ancestral Hall office return, overseeing the road to supervise the farmer's wishes always violated.
A loose raises three million, and the poor man makes the warrior fat.
After the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai stole the position of provisional president of the Republic of China and wanted to harm Zhao Binglin. In 1912, Zhao Yu lived in Shanghai and met li Ruiqing in Shanghai Atelier Garden (commonly known as Hartung Garden). Zhao Binglin knew that Yuan Shikai was going to summon Li, so he persuaded the Qing Daoists to assassinate Yuan Shikai at the time of the meeting.
During the famine, he went to "Please Reduce the State's Peace and Tranquility". The Qing government adopted Zhao Binglin's suggestion.
The third stop is Shuitou Village, Shaoshui Town, Quanzhou County, Guilin City, which is one of the traditional villages in Guangxi. Shuitou Village belongs to the Tangkou Village Committee of Shaoshui Town, with a population of 1780 people (including Tangjiatian in Foot Village). In ancient times, the population of the second surname of King Zhao of Quanzhou ranked third or fourth after Tang and Jiang, and the Surname of Zhao was mostly concentrated in Yixiang (present-day Shaoshui and Saltwater).
According to the local villagers, there is a saying that it was originally moved to Xiuxi Village, Lanxi County, Jinhua, Zhejiang, and was a bachelor of song Hanlin Academy when he first moved to Zu Tingligong. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, when the Song court was in danger, TingliGong was appointed as the grain governor of Guangdong Grain Storage Road; after the death of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan soldiers were afraid of being hunted down and killed, and his family moved south to avoid disasters and settled in Yisheng Village, Xiangyuan County. He first lived in the Foot Garden (now Happy Home), and only moved to the current village a few years later. Tingli Gong was fond of the village name of his hometown Xiuxi Village, so he also named the new residence Xiuxi Village.
In order to make the village worthy of its name, Tingligong built a weir and canal from the tongyou Mountain Pass, the highest reaches of the Baisha River, to lead the first-class Qingxi to the front of the village, and also named the house Xiuxifang. Later, because the village lived in the head of the diversion canal that irrigated the first large ditch of Shaoshui- the thousands of acres of grain fields in Tangkou, it was renamed Shuitou, which means juxiu Creek Water Head.
According to Mr. Tao Qijie's information, among the 146 jinshi from the Song to the Qing Dynasty in Jeonju, the Zhao surname accounted for 12, ranking third after Jiang Tang; among them, in the Song Dynasty from the seventh year of Jiading (1214) to the first year of Chunyou (1241), there were 8 jinshi, and in the second year of Jiaxi (1238), there were as many as 3 jinshi on the same list, which is really a miracle of the whole prefecture.
Among the 9 ancestral halls in the original village, more than 50 official plaques were hung (only 6 are left now), and some people say that the Le Geng Gong Ancestral Hall is more than 1860 square meters wide, ranking first in the county' ancestral halls, and one of the reasons may be that so many official plaques need to be hung in places. Therefore, it is said that Shuitou is the first village of Yixiang Jiake.
There is also an important red site in Shuitou Village, the former site of the temporary headquarters of the First Red Army. During the Baisha River Blockade War, the head of the regiment used to command the battle here, and then moved to a nearby hill, and when the Battle of the Baisha River became incandescent, the Xiang Army almost rushed to the headquarters of the First Army of the Red Army.
The fourth stop is Meitang Village, a national traditional village.
According to the "Genealogy of The Bamboo Jian Meitang of the Zhao Clan", the ancestor of the Meitang Zhao clan, Zhao Qionggong, the third year of the Song Emperor (1051), moved from Zhujian Village in Lanxi County, Jinhua Province, Zhejiang Province to the present-day Jeonju County, and the twelfth Zhao Si built a village in Dazhaila. The fifteenth Zhao Meiyan, see a mouth in the pond, the water is as clear as a mirror, the scenery is pleasant, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. A plum tree in Youxi Pond, such as seeing the spring scenery of Jiangnan again, moved from the old place of the big house to this pond, named "Meitang", which is the origin of Meitang Village. Meitang Village was founded in the Yuan Dynasty by Zhao Meiyan, the 15th ancestor, and has a history of about 700 years.
Meitang Village belongs to the Sanyou Village Committee of Shaoshui Town, Jeonju County, Guilin City, located at the foot of Yuecheng Ridge. The whole village is arranged according to the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, with well-preserved ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing styles, and the ancient alleys crisscross and crisscross, stepping into it, it is like entering the Bagua Maze. It is one of the seven major Bagua villages in China (the other Bagua villages are Zhuge Village, Zhuge Town, Jinhua Lanxi City, Zhejiang, Licha Village, Huilong Town, Gaoyao City, Guangdong Province, and Clam Gang Village, Huang Village, Xingzi Town, Lianzhou City, Guangdong Province, Mushan Village, Yangshuo Town, Yangshuo County, Guangxi, and Chengkan Town, Huizhou District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province). It is also one of the twelve national traditional villages in Jeonju County.
Meitang Village takes Meichi as the core, Meixi Ancient Road, Xiaoyuan Road Lane, Lupingjing Lane, Shoushen Gong Lane, Jiannan Gong Lane, Sidafang Lane, Fengqiaotou Lane, Liangjia Lane eight alleys radiate outwards, many alleys are connected vertically and horizontally, as if they are connected, but in fact they are separated, like a labyrinth. Among them, the Meixi Ancient Road is built along meixi, all paved with cobblestone, with a length of about 478.6 meters, and the main traditional buildings such as Meixi Street, Meichi and Meixi Ancestral Hall are woven into one.
In the construction of Meitang Village, the 32nd ancestor Zhao Youchang has an indelible merit in the history of Meitang, and he presided over the construction of the magnificent Meixi Ancestral Hall in the second year of Jiaqing (1797), as evidenced by the inscription placed next to the upper seat of the ancestral hall.
According to the recollections of many elderly people living in the village, when the Red Army passed through Meitang in 1934, it took most of the day and the troops who followed at night to camp in the three ancestral halls in the village. In front of the gates of the Meixi Ancestral Hall and the Shoushen Ancestral Hall, there are several honorary plaques, including the honorary plaque of "Red First Army Camp". The Jiannan Ancestral Hall also served as a temporary rescue center for the Red Army, playing an important role in the rescue of the wounded of the Red Army.
Zhao Changjin, a small Red Army soldier who was lost in the Battle of xiangjiang, was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and although he had unfortunately died in the 1980s, he left his twin sons Zhao Dabing and Zhao Dachun, who also lived in Meitang Village. Zhao Changjin was originally from Jiangxi, his real name was Yu Jinbao, and unfortunately he suffered a serious foot injury during the Long March, and he and his fellow young Red Army soldiers fell behind at the Fenghuang Daping Ferry. When they were in Luokou, they were raided by the vigilante groups and the Gui army, they hid in the abandoned tile kilns, and after a night of hunger and cold, their companions took advantage of the early morning to go out to forage for food, but they were slaughtered by the vigilante groups. Luo Chuankun's grandfather in Luokou yayuan village risked killing his head and took him in. The Luo family was not rich, he could only make a living for himself, after several twists and turns, he came to Meitang and worked long-term work in the family of Zhao Changmeng's father, Zhao Jixuan, who was then a senator of the Kuomintang county (now Jeonju County) government, a large household in the village, and finally became the door-to-door son-in-law of Tang Yang's sister's family, changed his name to "Zhao Changjin", and took root in Meitang Village. However, for fear of being said to be a deserter, he never dared to tell his family about his bumpy experience, nor did he dare to say that he was a Red Army, let alone return to his hometown in Jiangxi. It was not until after the reform and opening up that the government gave preferential treatment to the living Red Army that he told his family about his extraordinary experience. On the way up the mountain to cut firewood, unfortunately bitten by a mad dog, he did not care, did not take medicine, unfortunately fell ill and died, which made people sigh.
The octagonal pavilion is located at the mouth of the village, built on Meixi, as the entrance of "Meitang Street", for the sitting mouth of Meitang Village, which means "fat water does not flow out", and is sometimes called "sitting water pavilion" in the village. The octagonal pavilion is a small green tile heavy eaves hilltop pavilion architectural style, through the bucket structure, the construction area of 36.62 square meters, unique style, before the liberation has been the entrance to Meitang Village.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Meitang Village was the only place where the Xianggui Ancient Road from Jeonju to Hunan via Xiyan District (present-day Resource County) was necessary. In the village, there were 36 shops of various sizes, such as medicine shops, blacksmith shops, rice noodle shops, oil shops, dye shops, cloth shops, etc., known as "Meitang Street". Meitang Street is centered on Meichi and is divided into North Street and South Street, and there are 26 existing shops, mainly distributed on these two main streets.
Crystal clear plum creek
Meixi Village passes through a number of traditional houses, many buildings are wooden foundations, and the whole house is built with wooden planks across the water, making full use of the space, and also has the poetic scene of "small bridge flowing water people".
In the old days, Meitang was said to be "nine wells and eight ponds", but now it is abandoned because of construction.
Meitang Village has a history of nearly a thousand years, and now has a population of more than 1,300 people, and the villagers like literature and art. In the old days, the clan used to invite literary and artistic teams to perform in the village, such as lion dance teams, acrobatic troupes, flower drum opera, Qi opera, color tune and other drama troupes. The whole village has also set up a special association for the elderly, with two literary and artistic teams, a literary and artistic team for middle-aged and young women and a literary and artistic team for the elderly. In front of the gate of the Meixi Ancestral Hall, there are five bright red characters of "Color Tune and Song and Dance Team" issued by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Literature and Art Federation, which is one of the 22 literary and art villages in the region named by the Guangxi Federation of Literature and Art.
