China has a long history, and many villages have preserved some cultural relics. Chiqiao village is the village where the old people grew up. After retirement, he also felt that the culture in the village was particularly long. Moreover, a professor from Oxford University came to visit this village specially for this purpose, and the professor also wrote a book "Wake up from a dream: the life of the gentry in a village in North China, 1857? 1942 ".Moreover, in 200 1 year, the European Commission had a project on rural sustainable development in China, and this village was also on the list. The expert group has also visited the local area many times. The old man has been accompanying them in the investigation. He is also studying the history of the village, so he began to write.

Second, in order to protect cultural heritage.

In order to complete the investigation, the old man also conducted a field survey in the village and wrote many local documents. Not only that, he also showed the paintings and calligraphy of historical celebrities and some precious old objects in five parts: old friends, old stories, old voices, old customs and old thoughts. In 20 18, this village was also selected as the fifth batch of traditional villages in China. In this way, he is also studying the village surname. A village of 3,000 people, Yi * * has 126 surnames. They were all transferred from other provinces before, so he also wanted to dig the story behind the surname.
