April 16 Cultural relics workers in xiushui county, Jiangxi Province recently discovered the Hakka riverbank built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty in Ningzhou Town of this county. The river bank has a history of more than 300 years, and it is still playing the role of flood control, farmland protection and traffic protection.

This section of the river bank is about 400 meters long, with a top width of 60 cm to 100 cm and a height of about two meters. It is made of stone. Fan Duan Village, where Jiang 'an is located, is adjacent to the village where Chen Baozhen and Chen's former residence are located, and both belong to the Hakka gathering place.

According to historical records, after the Hakkas migrated to Fanduan, they settled and planted grass, reclaimed land and thrived. In order to avoid the flood, the first generation of Hakka immigrants Chen organized the people to carefully build flood levees, which lasted for five years.

Huang Benxiu, a cultural relic worker in xiushui county and former director of Huang Tingjian Memorial Hall, is a member of the village's Eight Horizontal Group. "This period of history of building levees is recorded in the genealogy of local Chen and Huang. In the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Hakka Chen moved from Ji 'an, Jiangxi Province to Taixiang, Ningzhou, with seven capitals and eight horizontals, reclaimed land, built cofferdams, and built a river bank in Jianzhong Village for five years. In the fifty-first year of Qianlong, Sun Huang, the grandson of Chen Gongzeng, moved from Shimen (Shimen in Fanduan) to improve the Zhongzhuang River embankment and build a bridge in Luokan, which was called Shouxing Bridge. In the eleventh year of Daoguang, a monument was erected at the bridge. See "Shouxing Bridge Monument". "

Huang Baobao, an 82-year-old villager, said that this riverbank has never been damaged or repaired since his parents died.

After the Hakkas moved to Fanduan, they planted grass, cultivated land and thrived there. Reclaim the land in the long and narrow valley and along the foot of the mountain. ?

"The century-old Hakka riverbank is the testimony and embodiment of the hard-working and self-reliant Hakka culture and spirit, and it is the pride of Hakka people." Huang Benxiu, chairman of the Eight Heng New Rural Construction Committee, said that the new rural construction will promote Hakka culture and inherit the Hakka spirit of the older generation through the Hakka river embankment.
