Old Huang is over half a hundred years old, and he really has the spirit of an old ox. As soon as he took office this summer vacation, he began to visit mountains, rivers and even every household from morning till night, and soon became one with the villagers. After understanding the basic situation of the village, he quickly determined the breakthrough of the village's rural revitalization-cultural revitalization. He seriously visited the village's old branch secretary, retired teachers and even centenarians, invited a group of writers and literary lovers to explore the unique human history of Shaosha Village, and determined to turn Shaosha Village, which is unknown, into a network celebrity village and a tourist village, leading the village to fully revitalize the countryside.
I am a young artist from afar and was led into Shaosha Village by Lao Huang. Unexpectedly, I just scanned it for a long time and was fascinated by this small sand village.
As far as population is concerned, Shaosha village in the corner of peace is really small. There are only four cooperatives, with more than 200 households, and the registered population has just exceeded 1,000. Compared with Yamashita Village, my ancestral home, it is much worse, not to mention Fengyuan Village, where my household registration is located. No wonder old Huang Can visited every house! However, from the perspective of humanity, history, feelings, uniqueness, viewpoints and intangible cultural heritage, Shaosha Village can be called a famous village in Conghua.
Shaosha Village is surnamed Liang, and there is no miscellaneous surname. According to legend, this Liang surname first moved from Anxian County (prefecture) in southwest Jiangxi Province to Laoshalang Village in the suburb of Conghua in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and gradually branched to Jiangpu Town (now Jiangpu Street), and then to Liangkou in the north. Around the end of the Ming and early Qing dynasties, a branch finally reached Shacun at least. Laojunmiao, the old banyan tree and the ancient gatehouse, which have a history of about 200 years, still stand in every corner of the village, which shows that Shaosha Village is a village with a history and a story.
Laojunmiao is located in Xiaweishe, Shaosha Village, separated from the villagers' houses by a bamboo forest and a stream. This stream, called Shaosha River or Shaosha River, flows from northwest to southeast and finally flows into the main stream of Liuxi River. Lao Huang said that the origin of the village name "Shaosha Village" is related to the "sand" in this stream. According to legend, in the mid-Ming Dynasty, Xiao, Mo, Zhang and other families camped here, so it was named because Xiao settled first and the river was sandy. Liang Jia, the latest resident, became the first surname here because of its prosperous population and unexpected magical counterattack. After Xiao, Mo, Zhang and others moved away one after another, the villagers thought it was homophonic and renamed it "Shaosha".
After the rise of the surname Liang, the villagers built this laojunmiao by the bamboo forest on the other side of the river in front of the village. Laojunmiao is a small temple with brick structure, with an area of only a dozen square meters. There is a courtyard between the two entrances, and the hall of the second entrance is dedicated to three great gods. According to the sculpture, the old gentleman in the middle should be Guanyin Bodhisattva with Wu Caishen on both sides. Huang said that in the past, there were many murals in the temple, but they were covered after renovation and restoration, which was quite regrettable. However, after careful restoration, the "popularity" and "face value" of the whole temple were finally preserved. Now on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, many villagers come to burn incense on holidays. Although the temple is small, it entrusts and carries the simplest wishes of the villagers in Shaosha village-good weather, peaceful country and people, praying for evil spirits, eliminating epidemics and malaria, preventing diseases and disasters, and prospering Ding and Cai.
One hundred and fifty meters away, across the laojunmiao River, is the oldest banyan tree in the village. There is an "ID card" hanging on the "ankle" of the old banyan tree, which was nailed by the Forestry Bureau on 20 18, showing that the tree species is called Yarong, 152 years old. However, the villagers all said that there must be more than this number. Some people say at least 200 years old, others say it may be 250 years old.
I don't think this should be too tangled, because in terms of tree age, it can't compare with Qiu Feng, 420, in Jiner Village, Jiangpu Street, or even the banyan, 252, in Shihai Village, Wenquan Town. The biggest attraction of this ancient banyan tree in Shaosha Village lies in its "male" and "strange".
? Its trunk is thick, and it is estimated that it takes three adults to hold it hand in hand. Its developed root system can be described as crouching tiger, hidden dragon, covering the sky and covering the sun. It can be said that he is mighty and domineering, and he is a gentleman in the tree. Its "waist" and "arms" are still hugging two or three wild longan trees! Those longan trees that are only a few decades old are actually integrated with the century-old banyan trees! They are touching the ancient banyan tree. They are like a group of wives and concubines of the ancient banyan tree! No wonder, in recent years, villagers have nicknamed this "tree" as a couple tree. I think, isn't this the network celebrity scenic spot in Shaosha Village that Lao Huang has always wanted to dig?
The ancient banyan tree adds a lot of color to Shaosha Village, which not only contributes the purest and most magnificent green ecological landmark, but also hides the metaphysical mystery of Liang's prosperous population. But I am more concerned about the human history of Shaosha village than the metaphysical mystery of this "husband and wife tree".
A Thai garden sandwiched between Shaosha River and this "lovers tree" quickly attracted our attention. Lao Huang said: "This is an old educated youth named Bu who came back to Shaosha Village to build it."
It coincides with the weekend, and the host and his family are on vacation in it. Lao Huang generously took me to visit the landlord and visit the manor. This elegant garden is really worthy of the name "Jinyi", which is both beautiful and comfortable. Natural use of exotic flowers and herbs, sweet-scented osmanthus, magnolia, lemon fruit, papaya fragrance filled the manor. More subtly, the manor is separated from the stream by a wall. In the four seasons, the continuous flow of the Shaosha River is slowly pumped to the top of the wall, and then slowly drips into the fish ponds with dozens of koi fish.
On the edge of the corner of the fish pond, there is a small banyan tree less than one meter high. Fresh and refined, the gas field is compelling! Obviously, it was actually a banyan seed pecked by a bird, which took root and sprouted on the wall and thrived! I saw persimmon trees, litchi trees, mango trees and cacti in the depths of the courtyard. , high and low, strewn at random. The essence of Jiangnan gardens and Lingnan quadrangles, as well as the exotic customs of tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia, are all among them.
Next to the fish pond is a tea pavilion, where we listen to the ticking water and have tea with the cloth shop owner. That scene instantly reminded me of the description in the ancient Preface to the Lanting Pavilion-"A group of wise men are always ready, but few of them are salty." There are mountains, lush forests and bamboos here, and there are also clear currents, which are reflected from left to right, thinking that the flow is winding, followed by yourself. Although there is no string of silk and bamboo, it is enough to talk about a love. "
We had a good time, didn't we? At least, the landlord and his brother and sister were chatting in the pavilion when we entered. Boss Buzhuang calls himself "strong and few". He is 65 years old and was one of the 68 educated youths in Shaosha Village. He reported in the winter of 1975 and stayed in Shaosha village for three years. There are five brothers and sisters in his family, four of whom were educated youths in the countryside. His sister stayed in Hainan Island for nine years! "Strong and Less" is a sentimental person who never forgets the educated youth and villagers and the landscape of Shaosha Village. After retirement, the Bushes returned to Shaosha Village together, rented a mud brick house and swamp, and built this Thai garden. On holidays, they will organize some entertainment and music activities for the villagers to participate and feel. The villagers have long regarded their host family as one of their own. The Buzhuang family is also willing to share and communicate with the villagers and integrate into various activities in the village.
Network celebrity village, there will always be the role of network celebrity. Bucun's boss is "strong and less", and he is obviously a "newcomer" of Shaosha Village's network celebrities. There is also an online celebrity "old man" in Shaosha Village. He is the old branch secretary of the village-Secretary Liang. Lao Liang is a colleague of * * and China. What's more, his mother happens to be the same age as the producer in China! It is said that centenarians can still go out to grow vegetables! It seems that Shaosha Village is worthy of the reputation of Changshou Village.
Although Lao Liang is seventy-two and his hair is gray, his energy is not lost to the young man. He took us to visit the ancient gatehouse in the village, visited the Shaosha village community where his family lived, and told us about the natural landscape and human history of the village all the way.
Saw the gatehouse of Shaosha Village, 18 beam. The building is about 4 meters high, the wall is about 5 meters long and 4 meters wide, and the area is about 20 square meters. There are five long stone steps in front of the gatehouse, which are quite solemn and full of ritual. The gate can only accommodate two adults at the same time, and the gatehouse is equipped with an altar for the villagers to burn incense and sacrifice. There are still some murals painted on the roof of the gate, which looks like some years.
The whole gatehouse is ugly and antique, but it also has a sense of historical vicissitudes, which makes me respect. What is particularly reminiscent is that Shaosha Village, located at the junction of the three counties of "Foqing Cong", used to be a red post station, and progressive villagers such as Liang, Liang, Liang Chaoxing emerged. They either joined guerrillas on the battlefield or participated in various frontier defense work, which made great contributions to the establishment of new China and the liberation of Conghua and Guangzhou.
Above the lintel of the gatehouse, there are also several big characters written-"serving the people". Next to the gatehouse, there is another small bungalow with an area of about 10 square meter. On the wall of the bungalow, a few lines of calligraphy are clearly kept, and some specific provisions of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Administrative Penalties for Public Security promulgated on October 22nd are written 1957/kloc-0. The red spirit and red culture of Shaosha Village are timeless and shine in the warm winter sun.
Another shining intangible cultural heritage of Shaosha Village is lion dance. According to Secretary Lao Liang, lion dancing is a unique traditional custom in Shaosha Village. Hongshi and Hongquan come down in one continuous line, with unique dance steps, joint participation of men, women and children, and lion group performances and individual martial arts performances, which are extremely entertaining. The old secretary is personally in charge of the lion dance team. Now that he is old, he is still "old-fashioned"; Aim for a thousand miles ",determined to train a group of young lion dancers, and systematically re-filmed the scene of a full set of red lion performances to prepare for applying for district-level and municipal-level non-legacy projects.
Everything is ready except the east wind. I sincerely hope that this traditional custom of dancing the red lion can be successfully applied at the district and municipal level as soon as possible, and it can be passed down from generation to generation like the red spirit and red culture of Shaosha Village.
I believe that the wish of the new first secretary in the village, Lao Huang, will definitely come true. Cultural revitalization is the breakthrough for Shaosha Village to realize the five rural revitalization. Here, people can not only enjoy the beautiful rural scenery, but also feel the heavy human history. People can approach laojunmiao and the old banyan tree, walk into the old gatehouse, meet the old secretary, or walk into the ecological health paradise of the old educated youth to reminisce about the past, think about the past, get rich and think about the source.
Today, we are happy with the prosperous times. It is timely to empower the environment and culture with the red engine and drive the green development of Shaosha Village!
