After driving out of the county seat, I told my wife that Guocang Town in the north of the city beautified Cuijiayuan and still has a cultural relic. According to legend, it was built by the Japanese during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period and is worth visiting.
Although the beautified Cuijiayuan is only three or four miles away from the village where I was born, I haven't seen it for a long time, and I always feel sorry. Today, I can't help but visit.
I remember when I was a child, my grandfather told me such a story of beautifying Cui Jiayuan, which is still fresh in my memory. This is a year about War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Grandpa had an argument with Cui Fu, the master who beautified Cui Jiayuan. The reason is that the domineering master Cui lost his eyes because of gambling and hit grandpa's uncle. At that time, my grandfather, who was full of blood and learned a little Shaolin Hongquan, severely taught Master Cui a lesson.
So the two families agreed to fight, and when the bloody scene was about to appear, thanks to the presence of a respected old gentleman from Cui's hometown, after asking about the situation, instead of defending their mistakes, they beat up the young master who had done something wrong with French methods.
It is also the heroic spirit of Master Cui. Less than three days after his marriage, he left the bride and left angrily. After that, there was no whereabouts for decades. The bride has been waiting for Mr. Lang to come back for decades, and there has been no news of him. But she just languishes in the village, always worrying about her little feet, looking up at the entrance of the village and firmly believing that he will come back.
As long as I can remember, she is a grandmother in her fifties and sixties, living with her nephew's family. After I have worked for more than ten years, she is already an 80-year-old grandmother, still waiting in the village.
I don't know who told her after the change, saying that Master Cui went to Taiwan Province Province before liberation, and the three links between the two sides of the strait. Even Gao Tingfu, the captain of Kuomintang county who killed the devil, came back. I'm afraid he will soon. Grandma Cui, who is about to make great achievements, rekindled her hopes and said to everyone, "He will come back soon." However, her husband didn't come back, but she seemed to disappear.
Time flies, Grandma Cui's family has changed from a girl's hair to a gray head. And my grandfather regretted it all his life. He said to me more than once when I was a child, "I'm sorry for Mrs. Cui, but I blame myself for fighting with Master Cui and leaving my sister-in-law alone in the grass widow all her life." When he spoke, grandpa's eyes were full of tears.
Growing up, I have always been very close to that Cui grandma, and Cui grandma also cares about me and loves me very much.
Later, perhaps Grandma Cui felt that her hopes were completely shattered, and people in their eighties and nineties even found their own sighs. After I heard about it, I was very sad for a while. ...
My wife and I arrived at Meihua Village at 4: 30 in the afternoon. In fact, it is no longer a village. After the transformation of the old village, the whole village has been moved to the suburban new village, leaving only a so-called "turret" standing in the wheat field.
When I approached, I suddenly discovered that this is not just a "gun tower", but a typical three-story building with brick and wood structure in Ming Dynasty. A bronze medal of "Cuijialou Historic Building in Wenshang County, Guocang" was newly nailed on the front wall of the building, and a cultural monument of "Cuijialou Cultural Relics Protection Unit in Shandong Province" stood on the roadside behind the wall. Looking at the lonely building in front of me, grandma Cui actually appeared in front of my eyes. ...
90% of the villagers in Meihua Village are surnamed Cui, and the Cui family has been a famous local family for hundreds of years.
According to Cui Shi's genealogy, it originated from Cui Shi, Qinghe, Hebei Province in Han and Tang Dynasties. One of them, Cui Cheng, the ancestor of Cui Family Courtyard who lived in Tianjinwei and beautified Cui's hometown, was appointed as a military commander in the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368) and stationed in Liangshan area to keep one side safe. Cui Zheng, the fifth ancestor, moved to Machang Street in Wenshang County during Xuande period of Ming Dynasty, and bought land and grange near Tanzhuang. Cui Mei Village, the sixth ancestor, named the grange "beautification" after his own name, and bought the building with the surname of Huang on the Xiaowen River, and began to build civil buildings and repair buildings on a large scale, and built the villa Cuijiayuan Zhaoxing Cuijia Courtyard. In the eighth generation in Cui Shi, he married Zhu Yiren, the daughter of Sun An Wang Qiu, the royal family of Minglu. Cui Shi's family changed from a military commander who was the hero of the founding of the dynasty to a royal family, and Cui Shi's children became officials and generals, becoming a prominent aristocratic family.
During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, the Cui Family Courtyard, which beautified the Cui family's homeland, has formed a huge Ming and Qing architectural complex with more than 20 acres and hundreds of houses, including the main hall, the East Building (also known as "Wo Wo Building") and the West Building, as well as the lobby, the east and west living rooms, the lobby, the gatehouse, the flagpole courtyard and the archway.
After the 18th Cui Wenguang Middle School in Cui Shi became the first martial arts school in the Qing Dynasty (Xie Yuan), the Cuijiatang Building of Cuijiayuan was renamed as "Juren Building", also known as "Zhuangyuan Building", and lived by Sun Shidai, the eldest son of Cui Shi. At that time, the gold plaque on the high gate of Cui Family Courtyard was engraved in accordance with the imperial edict of Emperor Kangxi himself. Where officials and others pass by Cui's compound, the military attache must dismount and the civilian must get off the sedan chair. Anyone who enters Cui's compound needs to pay three visits and nine knocks before the host can receive it.
There is a folk story about the origin of the name of the East Building "Wowo Building" built during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty: during the reign of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, there was a famine one year, and people in four townships starved to death in spring because of lack of food. They beautified the Cui family courtyard in the village and sympathized with the poor villagers, so they hired workers in the name of building repair and provided enough wowotou for craftsmen to eat casually. In the evening, the lights were turned off specially, so that craftsmen and others could take the nest home quietly and help neighbors in this special way, saving many people around them. The villagers felt that the owner of Cui's courtyard was kind and kind, so they called the East Building "Wo Wo Building".
From the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, people of Cui Shi family lived in Cui's hometown Cui Family Courtyard for 500 to 600 years, and their family style was mellow and they worked hard for generations. Many people entered the imperial examination. People who practice calligraphy and martial arts, serve the country and make contributions are endless. Cui Shi's descendants are generally kind to their neighbors and have a good reputation among the people.
1949 after the founding of new China, during the land reform, the Cui family moved out of the Cui family compound and handed it over to the farmers' association as the sub-warehouse of the county grain bureau. The house in Cui's compound has also been transformed into a warehouse. 1980 was returned to the village collective (the ownership belongs to the village collective), and the "Wo Wo Building" was also demolished due to the resettlement of villagers to build houses and the demolition of ancient buildings. The West Building was demolished in autumn 1985 when the village planned to build a road. 1992, when the village office building was built, the hall, the east and west living rooms, the lobby, the gatehouse and the flagpole yard in the left front of the hall building were demolished. So far, except for Cuijialou, all the ancient buildings in Cuijia Courtyard have disappeared, which is a great pity.
An ancient tree with a diameter of more than 3 meters near the gate of Cuijia Courtyard, which is said to be "Tang Huai", was also cut down in the 1990s. The plaque at the entrance of Cuijiayuan Cuijiayuan was inscribed by Kangxi himself. It was flattened as a table tennis chopping board during the Cultural Revolution and placed in the brigade office. Emperor Kangxi's silk imperial edict and official clothes excavated from Cui Shi's ancestral grave were used to clean diesel engines; The crested rockhopper, official hat, pearls, waterboards and other cultural relics are also gone. ...
When I first came to beautify the village, the sunset was covered by clouds, but it was completely gone just by drinking tea. The sky suddenly darkened and the light dimmed.
At that time, although the temperature was as low as MINUS 3 degrees Celsius as in the city, it felt much colder than in the city. I looked at him back and forth carefully under the field of Cui Zhai in Tanabe, and my heart suddenly became inexplicable loneliness and melancholy.
The Jia Family Courtyard in Cui Jia has been hard to find its former glory. Only the lonely building, like a lonely old man, silently tells the beautiful past about the beautification courtyard in the gloomy sky.
In the twilight, the mist filled the air, and the street lamp lit up for the second time. My wife and I reluctantly bid farewell to the towering Cuijialou in the wheat field. We all take care of our journey silently.
My eyes alternately reflect the shadows of the kind and lonely Cui grandmother and the lonely Cui Xiaolou, and I can't help sighing lightly.
Xiaowen River did not freeze in May and September, but flowed quietly in the riverbed one mile south of Meihua Village, winding from northwest to southwest, regardless of day and night. ...
