Huangxidong Ancient Village was built on the Tiandong at the confluence of the Huangxi River, covering a total area of about 20 acres, with more than 20 traditional buildings, which is a typical traditional village with a strong farming and reading style on the border of Xianggui. Most of the buildings in the village were built in the Qing Dynasty, and a few were built during the Republic of China or in the 1960s after the founding of New China.
All the houses in the village are based on stone strips, and then the green water brick wall is built, and there are also small masonry walls, that is, the small stones are filled with triad mud, and then coated with thick wall mud to prevent the melting of the triad mud in the sun and rain and the wall collapses. It is covered with small green tiles and has a wooden beam structure inside. From a distance, the pure "human" glyph roof, flat ridge, shelved hard hilltop, small warp.
On the visual line of its village, with Zhongxiao Hall as the center, it gradually increases from the mouth of the village backwards, with a total of 5 longitudinal laneways in the north-south direction, and the laneways are basically symmetrical. In terms of planning, the entire village sits south to north, orderly, forming a closed square pattern. The houses are connected to each other by ticket gates and laneways, forming an internal transportation network in the village.
After entering the 21st century, the people of the village gradually became rich, and new buildings were built on the edge of the village, and the old mansions were left idle one after another, because there was no one to take care of them, and the front yard and back of the court were overgrown with weeds and vines. Especially in the storm and rats and cats, some of the houses have begun to fall off the tiles, the eaves are bare, and the walls are collapsed.
According to the old people in the village, there are three stone bridges on the large and small Yellow Creek Streams next to the Huangxidong Village, and next to the stone bridge is a beach. In that area of the beach, the ancient trees were dense and very verdant. In the middle of summer, this forest becomes a paradise in the village, where children play diving, swimming, fishing for shrimp, catching birds and cicadas in trees, and are very happy. The adults also came to the forest on the beach in pairs to set up dragon gate arrays, tell stories, and pull family routines. By the 1970s, most of the beaches had been converted into grain fields.
There is a lot of story about the construction of Huangxidong Village. His ancestor Shengong was a former Qing Tai scholar, a protégé of the Qing Kangxi Jinshi Tao Erqiu. Zongshen gong was the eldest son of Duke Mingbi and originally lived in The village of Garlin. Legend has it that one summer, Zong Shengong and his brothers traveled through this place, the weather was unbearable, so they went down to the stream with their brothers to bathe, suddenly encountered a torrential rain, the yellow mud on the upstream mountain was washed into the stream, and the stream instantly became a muddy yellow mud soup. Zong Shengong and his brothers went ashore to shelter from the rain, looked at the surrounding terrain, and found that it resembled a lotus flower, especially the water resources were many times better than the Garlin Village in Daqingping, believing that it was a livable feng shui treasure land. Therefore, he consulted with his brothers and planned to move his family here. Its original name was Huangximu, which means that in the hot summer, it is the most suitable place for bathing and cooling. Later, it was also called Lotus Village and Huangxidong Village, and the Tang surname Zun Xisheng was promoted to the ancestral ancestor in his village.
Check the "Chinese Tang Clan Genealogy Hunan Volume" "Lingling District Daqingping Township Jixiang Gongzhi (Sijia Tang)" under the article: "Ancestor, Zi Chao, zi sheng." He is a native of Jishui County, Ji'an Province, Jiangxi Province. During the reign of Emperor Lizong of Song, he chose Deng Shilang (登士郎), who was appointed as the Grand Master of Zhongxian and served as an observer envoy to Guangnan. He moved to Yingma Mountain in Guwudong, the twelve capitals of Enxiang, Guangxi. The sixth ancestor Gongke moved to Lingling Garlin Village (old village). And Tang Yuanzhou's "Anecdotes of the Ancient Village" records: "Ming Bi Duke had six sons, except for the second son Zong Long staying in Garlin Village, the other five sons were married and had children here (HuangxiDong), but except for the long house (Zong Shen Gong) and the full house (Zong Fu Gong), the other three rooms did not leave descendants, so the long house and the full house lived at the east and west ends of the village, the full house lived in the east and west of the village, and the long house lived in the west of the village." "Then, it can be seen from this that the Tang surname of Huangxidong Village was moved here from Zhelin Village (the old village), so its Mingbi Gong should be a descendant of Gong Kegong.
So, when exactly did Huangxidong Village relocate from Garlin Village? Since there is no literature to examine, there is no definite statement. Tang Yuanzhou said in "Anecdotes of ancient villages": "Since the establishment of the village in the early years of the Qianlong Dynasty, it has been more than three hundred years. ”
The "Genealogy of the Tang Clan" contains: "Zong Shen, Zi Er cheng, former Qing Guozi Jiantai student, born in the 53rd year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty, on the 25th day of september, the 25th day of the 53rd year of the Qing Dynasty, died at the age of 67 when gengzi died on the 13th day of the 13th month of the 45th year of the Qianlong Dynasty. "Zong Fu ,宗福,Zi Chunlu ,前清登士郎,生清雍正十年甲寅 September 21, 殁嘉庆十七年壬申 February 11, died at the age of seventy-eight." Then it is inferred from this that if the Emperor Ofejong moved to Huangxi Cave in the year of his establishment, it was the early years of Qianlong. That is to say, the construction history of Huangxidong Village began as early as the Qianlong period.
Zong Shengongsheng Jingren, Jingyu, Jingkui, Jingxi, and Jingquan,especially the fifth son, Jingquan, studied hard since childhood, gongshi, and was an official in Lingnan, and during the Jiaqing years, assisted Guangdong Inspector Wu Xiongguang to prevent poisonous smoke from entering the customs, devoted himself to his efforts, clean and honest, and had a political reputation, and the official was four pins. Later, he resigned as a township, donated funds for public welfare, built roads and bridges, and won the admiration of the townspeople. It is conceivable that for a period of time after the resignation of the Jingquan public officials and returned to their hometowns, the first wave of construction climax of Huangxidong Village must have been ushered in. Because he had the money to build roads and bridges, it was impossible not to plan and build private homes.
The entire village of Huangxidong, centered on the "Zhongxiao Hall", is lined up on both sides, and the blueprint for the construction of this village is estimated to have begun in the jingquan gong era. The reasons are: First, in Huangxidong Village, Jingquan Gong has the best learning, the largest official, the most extensive view of the world, the old return to his hometown, and the objective need to build a house. Second, the Jingquan Gong had the economic foundation for building a mansion, and had the prestige and dignity to draw up a village construction plan. Third, since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the national strength has declined, internal and external troubles have become increasingly frequent, bandits have been rampant, and the safety of villages has become increasingly important.
And because huangxidong village is at the confluence of two mountain streams, every spring and summer, successive days of torrential rain, flash floods, the village is flooded is also a big thing that can not be prevented, and the flood comes, the family in the courtyard must move to the highest ground at the fastest speed, then the narrow roadway affects escape and object handling. In addition, the work in the village is mainly based on farming, shoulder to shoulder, cattle ploughing horses, is a regular thing, narrow lanes are also very inconvenient. Therefore, each laneway in Huangxidong Village is designed to be relatively wide, mostly more than 1.8 meters, which is exactly the width of a horse-drawn carriage, which can allow two people to carry their burdens freely in the laneway, which is very rare in the ancient villages on the border of Xianggui. Each laneway is about 60-80 meters long, and the laneway is equipped with a laneway door, which is locked at night, which is very safe.
The buildings in the village are single-family courtyards, two are connected, and there are three connected buildings, but their height, length and width, house style and architectural style are maintained on a unified skyline, from the mouth of the village and then, gradually increase in height, there is no phenomenon of high front building and low building.
All the roadways are paved with stone strips or small stones, and there is a small ditch on the side of the roadway, where the stream flows, and from time to time you can see several small fish and shrimp swimming in the ditch, adding to the natural fun of the village environment.
There is also a water canal in front of the ancient village of Huangxidong, which is more than wide, like a village moat, and is directly connected to a pond in front of the village entrance.
At the entrance of the village, there is a gatehouse, which is the key to entering the village. From the appearance, although the whole village has no wall, there are two rows of boxes on the east and west sides of the village, and there is a row of horizontal houses on the north side of the village, the boxes and horizontal houses are facing the village, and there is no door and window in the whole village that is open to the outside of the village, and people outside must enter the village through the arch at the entrance of the village, and it is usually difficult to enter the village in other directions. Every night, the gate and laneway of the village are locked, just like closing the city gate, the village has become a strict defense system, ordinary thieves can only be afraid, it is difficult to enter the village to harass.
According to the elders in the village, since the establishment of the village, Huangxidong Village has experienced many turbulent times, but it has been peaceful and peaceful, and has not suffered any major wars and bandits, so that its village buildings have been well preserved.
