2. On the occasion of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the southern foot of Dabie Mountain became a place where clouds met and heroes roared. As Wang Baoxin, a local chronicler, said, "Land depends on natural disasters and uses war. Heroes come out in troubled times, one after another. " (Chronology of Forty-eight Villages in Huang Qi, Ezhai) In order to resist violence, protect the people and protect the countryside, they called on the people to make use of the steep landforms to win, make contributions, build villages and defend their villages, and wait for an opportunity to take a surprise attack. At that time, more than 300 castles with large and small walls were built, 72 villages were to be built and 48 villages were to be named, which was called "Huangqi 48 Village".

3. "Qi Huang" is the abbreviation of administrative divisions south of Dabie Mountain and north of Yangtze River. In the first three years of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (583), Hengshan County and Xiyang County successively belonged to this jurisdiction. Later, the county was changed to a state, and the two States were jointly governed. In the early Ming dynasty, the state was changed to the government. From the ninth year of Hongwu (1376) to 19 12, the Huangzhou government of Hubei Province governed qi zhou, Guangji (now Wuxue), Huangmei, Qishui (now Xishui), Luotian, Macheng and Huang An (now).

4. "Forty-eight Villages in Huang Qi" was built under unusual weather, geographical location, people and world conditions. The days were Song, Yuan, Ming and the end of Qing Dynasty, when the national government declined, wars piled up, heroes quarreled, and dynasties changed. The geographical position is complementary to Dabie Mountain, the hills are connected with the plain, overlooking Jianghuai and Qishui (Bi, Dao, Ju, Ba, You and Huayang River), with cliffs, deep valleys, streams and gullies criss-crossing, lush trees and interdependent villages and bays. Climbing high and looking far, it is convenient to advance and retreat at the foot of Dabie Mountain, and the village site is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is easy to deal with. Harmony for the people is simple, hard-working, enthusiastic about public welfare, upright, resolute and resolute, quiet and counter-violent, gong as the number, lotus hoe flying sickle, consistent with traditional folk customs. "When the gong rings, 40,000 to 80,000 men will play and the women will deliver meals." This kind of folk custom is in line with the geographical conditions, which deduces the rich history and culture of the cottage, and its educational incentive function transcends time and space.
