The Historical Legend of Cheng Zi
However, in Chengzi Village where ethnic minorities are so concentrated and remote, why is there such a combination? After several in-depth investigations with Yang Yongming, the answer gradually became clear. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial court generally changed local officials (mostly ethnic minorities) into floating officials (mostly Han Chinese), so that the upper level was ruled by Han Chinese; After the reform, the government moved in a large number of immigrants, mostly Han Chinese, so there were Han Chinese factors at all levels. According to the records of Luxi County, Chengzi Village was inhabited by Yi people in ancient times, but today most of the Yi people in Yongning Township migrated from Jinsha River basin. After the Han people move in, they will have various contacts and run-in with the local Yi people, and the final result, in the most superficial expression, is this kind of earthen palm house combining Han and Yi people. But why is there such a large scale? Now there is still a moat outside Chengzi Village, and the shape planning is completely the pattern of the castle. As you can imagine, it must have been a very brilliant government city before. And today it is only a township, which is related to the local officials at that time. During Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, the price of Tusi Mansion (now Luxi) in Guangxi was expensive, so the Tusi Yamen was built here and changed to Yong 'an Mansion (formerly known as Chengzi Village). The arrival of expensive toast made Chengzi Village develop rapidly and soon became the political, economic and cultural center of southern Yunnan. It was immediately upgraded from a small village to a city with more than 65,438+0,200 households, and the buildings also developed on a large scale. The city is built on the mountain, with walls, gates and castles, becoming a well-known castle, with towering castles and neat gates. Unfortunately, it didn't last long, and it was expensive. Because of arrogance and immorality, he was reported to Beijing. In the seventeenth year of Chenghua, the imperial court committed suicide by adding soldiers, and most of the houses in Fucheng were burned down, leaving only the front hall of Tufu yamen. After the death of Zigui, many indigenous Yi people fled to other places, and the government moved in a large number of immigrants and stationed troops. Military facilities, such as watchtowers and forts, have been set up here, so that the housing construction in Chengzi Village has formed the best housing structure that can not only adapt to people's living, but also resist foreign invasion. For hundreds of years, although foreign enemies invaded many times, Chengzi Village has never been breached. These glorious histories are closely related to another big background. After years of research, Yang Yongming discovered a fact that shocked the whole country: Chengzi Village is a very famous site in Zi Qi, an ancient Dian country. The records of Qi are full of clean feathers such as caravan, Silk Road, openness and brilliance. However, soon, Mongolia's iron hoof entered Yunnan. Although Qi fought bloody battles with the Mongolian army for six years, it was finally defeated and Zi Qi surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. People's memory of it, together with its glorious history, has passed away. This ancient village with a history of thousands of years has been spent in obscurity in the mountains for generations. The "Chengzi Village" that replaced the "white spoon" was almost forgotten. Value of Yongning Chengzi Village in Luxi: Yongning Chengzi Village in Luxi is located in Yongning Township, luxi county, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, 25 kilometers away from Luxi County. In the whole village, there are actually more than 600 groups of ancient houses and warehouses 300 years ago. The flat-topped earth warehouses in Chengzi Village, Yongning Township, luxi county City, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province are stacked layer by layer, concentrated and contiguous, beautiful and spectacular. When you are new here, you must think that this is not a village, but an ancient and mysterious earthen castle. The ancient village is located on the hillside of Feng Fei more than 200 meters high, with Longpan Mountain in the east, Yuping Mountain and Bijia Mountain in the west, Furong Mountain (also known as Murong Mountain) in the north and Jinding Mountain in the back. The mountains here are steep and towering, winding and hovering, and their beauty is as good as its name, intoxicating and breathtaking. The central part of Fengfei Mountain rises like the wind, and Sun Mountain and Taiyin Mountain (also known as Crescent Mountain) guard the surrounding areas, with steep terrain. Once upon a time, there was a hermit named Fei Fengshan who wrote a poem on the wall of Guan Sheng Palace: Where is Qishan now? Oh, it's sound, four-spirit bird dance, colorful Zi Long cross; On the bathing day, Ling Hanyun, the clear spring and the jade screen, the bells and drums of Danshan rang, and all countries praised Xianheng. This poem describes the situation of Chengzi Village and the happiness of seclusion here. The earth warehouse is built on the mountain, flat-topped, connected left and right, and connected up and down. The roofs of 24 households in Chengzi village are connected together, almost at the same level; The most distinctive thing is that the roof of the house next door is the courtyard of the house next door, which goes up layer by layer to the top of the mountain. The most stacked are 17 sets, generally more than ten sets. From a distance, the earth warehouse community in the ancient village is like a neatly stacked hive, with huge steps; It is like a clever terrace and a quaint Potala Palace. After you marvel, you can't help thinking: What makes this ancient earth warehouse community so well preserved? After reading it, you will surely ponder: What kind of humanistic connotation does this residential building embody or contribute?
