Hometown Lengjia Mountain, there is no cultural landscape
Author | Leng Huaiping
My home, Lengjiashan, is a natural village, which belongs to the administrative village of Guojiagou in Xinzhai Town, about eight miles east of the government station of Xinzhai Town.
In the eighth year of Qing Shunzhi, that is, in 1651 AD, the ancestor Gong Leng, who was mingyuan, moved here from Yaojia Lane in The Northern Guanguan of Shuyi, and flourished in this piece of feng shui treasure land surrounded by mountains and rivers, and gradually became a village, named Lengjia Mountain.
Lengjiashan Village has a profound cultural heritage, superior geographical location, convenient transportation, political communication and people, and has always been the office of the administrative village. It is a comprehensive cultural service center integrating education, health, credit, leisure, etc., and is now the administrative office of Xingsi Area and the service center of the party and the masses.
After my humble article "Homeland Landscape" was published in newspapers and periodicals such as "Danshui Literature", "Mishui", and "Yishan Wind", it was recognized and praised by my father and fellow villagers, who asked me to write about the traditions and culture of my homeland for future generations to remember and inherit. Because of the shallow learning and the clumsiness of the short notes, it is difficult to detail the deep cultural connotation of the homeland, but I feel that the mission is so, I visit the sages of the countryside, brainstorm, and write a simple text, even if it is to throw bricks and lead the jade.
More than three hundred years after the establishment of the village, the Later Yu clan settled in Anqiulai Village. Cold and friendly between the two families, watching out for each other, "sipping wet with each other, and foaming at each other". Like a family, passed down from generation to generation, the village style is simple and simple, and it has become a model in neighboring villages.
It can be seen from the "Hundred Family Names" compiled during the Northern Song Dynasty to reflect the concept of political culture and feudal society at that time that Leng and Yu are all surnames with historical origins. Among the total 504 surnames, "Leng Zi Xin Kan" Ranked Around 350, and "Xian Yu Yuwen" Ranked Around 460. The Book of Jin has Leng Dao, the History of Song has Leng Yingcheng, the Northern Wei Shilang Yu Zhong, and the Qing Dynasty "Four Libraries Quanshu" President Yu Minzhong.
According to the Leng family genealogy stone inscription and the dictation of the ancestors: in Yaojia Lane, Beiguan, Shuyi (the former Beiguan and the city junction of Xitan Xinglong, there are still branches of ethnic people living here), now in the area west of Minzhu Road, south of Xinglong Road, north of Xinhua Road, the Leng family owns nearly 100 acres of land, operating spinning and weaving, ancient silk reeling and other workshops. There are several "cold-named" shops and pawnshops, one of which is jointly operated with Chengnan Village and Minan Hutong Zhao surnamed Zhao, because the pawn ticket expires and the pawn objects are not redeemed, so they are given two shaft-type silk framed "tiger and leopard pictures" by tang Bohu, a famous painter of the Ming Dynasty. The Leng family was assigned the lower mountain tiger (female) figure, and the Zhao family in Minan Hutong was assigned the mountain tiger (male) figure. There are also sixteen pairs of "Poetry Lanzhu" spring, summer, autumn and winter in Qingzheng Banqiao. These two national treasure-level inkblots were once the "treasures of towns and villages" of Lengjiashan Homeland. Every New Year's Visit, most of the homeland people over the age of 70 now have the opportunity to witness Tang Bohu's tiger and leopard diagram and Zheng Banqiao's orchid bamboo authenticity. At that time, this became the talk of the streets and alleys of the ten miles and eight townships.
According to the cunxian Leng Tongji (76 years old), who has preserved this painting in his home for several years, Tang Yin's "tiger and leopard figure" is a female tiger squatting in the upper part of the picture, two young tigers crouching on both sides, looking ahead, and at the bottom of the picture is a walking leopard looking back, "the pen is straight, the animal hair is outlined like a wire", vivid and vivid. Also known as "Three Tigers and One Leopard Diagram". Because the homeland lives in the mountains, the meaning is: three (mountain) tiger town mountain. Harmonics: Mountain Tiger Town Mountain, Three (Mountain) Tiger one Leopard (Bao). Harmonic three tigers to protect the homeland. Together with Zheng Xie's "Poetry Lanzhu Four Seasons Map", it forms a beautiful meaning and blessing. "Tiger Leopard Bamboo", the harmonic tiger leopard (Bao) bamboo (Lord) people are safe all seasons. It is a pity that these two extremely precious celebrity calligraphy paintings and the treasures of the towns and villages of the homeland were burned away in the era of "breaking the four olds".
Home pawnshop culture is rich and unique, when laid in the bustling street, in order to protect the privacy of pawn customers with a screen, the counter in the store is higher than the head, condescending, forming a downward and upward unequal relationship, pressing the head. Give the pawn an invisible psychological pressure. All pawn items are derogated and appear in shabby form. For example, when the new clothes are written as "worn-out clothes", the new sheepskin coat is written as "worm bites the light plate old sheep jacket", the new gold jewelry is written as "smoked old gold", the silk is written as "hemp silk", etc., these are all for the pawnshop to reduce material deterioration and accidental liability, reduce the pawnshop transaction costs (now it seems that it is an unreasonable overlord clause). When the ticket is scrawled and full of paper, there was no personal identification in that era, and the top box of the item was written with the ticket, leaving no blank space to prevent customers from adding alterations to avoid disputes. The text of the dragon flying phoenix dance prevents the loss of the pawn ticket and the possibility of being impersonated, which is an effective protection for pawn customers. For example, in "Dream of the Red Chamber", Xing Xiuyan pawned the pawn ticket for cotton clothes accidentally lost, and was seen by the aristocratic lady Shi Xiangyun with cultural knowledge, Lin Daiyu, after seeing it, she could not see clearly, could not understand, mistakenly thought it was a "bill", only Xue Baochao, who opened a pawnshop, knew that this was a pawn ticket. It can be seen from this that although the pawnshop cultures in different regions are similar.
Homeland is a land with profound cultural heritage, the ancestors know that the prosperity of the homeland depends on culture, hope in education, from the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to establish a private school, open Confucian education, hire a senior teacher from abroad Mr. Wang Yuxi, enlightened wisdom. Infiltrated by culture, the late Qing Dynasty village Xian Leng Xue Order (Zi Junting), Leng Lian'e (Zi Xue Yue), etc., calligraphy is quite profound, especially the Yan body, profound skill, but also the compilation of the revision of genealogy, inscription writing and other high level, ten miles and eight townships come to pay tribute. Villagers and neighboring villages will ask him to deal with them if they encounter difficult problems, leaving almost no sequelae. Because he adheres to the principle of "fairness and righteousness, no prejudice", everything is solved and people are convinced. Leng Lianjia, also known as Dingchen, graduated from Qilu University in the early republic of China and served as the former director of the Academic Affairs Office of Jinling Middle School in Nanjing. The eldest daughter Leng Lanqin, the second daughter Leng Zhuqin is another generation of beautiful female students who followed the "Three Sisters of the Song Family" to study in the United States, and the eldest daughter Leng Lanqin married Song Xilian, a senior general of the Kuomintang and former vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, after returning to China. The second daughter, Leng Zhuqin, settled in the United States, and her son Leng Peishu went to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek in 1949 and became a military dignitary. When Mrs. Leng Lianjia died, Chiang Kai-shek, Lin Sen, and others paid tribute to her (lost), and Leng Lianjia died in Nanjing in 1953.
After the founding of New China to the late 1950s, with the dream of marching toward culture and education, in the case of economic difficulties of "one poor and two white", the villagers used their own hands and shoulders to pick people up, and set up a kiln factory in the west of the village, set up a kiln factory, compacted brick embryos, and burned green bricks. More than 20 classrooms were built in two rows of brick tiles to the top. At that time, in Quanxinzhai Commune, Lengjiashan Primary School was the best and most beautiful primary school (grades 1-5), the commune was specially equipped with several senior teachers (Chen Tianxing, Jia Hongren, etc.), and the school-age children in the surrounding administrative villages such as Guishanzi, Jiangshi, Andjiagou Village had to "descend" to Lengjiashan in the small natural village. It was commended by the county and commune as an advanced teaching unit and a typical school running.
Influenced by its cultural heritage, since the founding of New China, the village has successively graduated more than 80 people from colleges and universities, and nearly 30 people with master's degree or above. Under the traditional concept of virtuous virtue of "taking sincerity as the foundation and reading with reason as the first", Leng Wenying, a pioneer of the county women's liberation movement, a model of supporting the army and a former model of commercial and trade retirement, has emerged; the chief of the AIDS prevention and control section of the Weifang Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the 100 meritorious figures of Weifang City on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the model worker of Shandong Province, the winner of the national "May Day" labor medal, the tenth party representative of Shandong Province, and the "good daughter-in-law of the homeland" Wang Guiai; the work is serious and pragmatic and "does not forget the original heart". Leng Junjie, a researcher of the Weifang Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission who has not forgotten his father and fellow villagers; Leng Wenli, a translator of the State Economic and Trade Commission; Ding Zhanwen, former deputy director of the office of the county party committee; five lieutenant colonels leng Youming, Leng Huaichang, Leng Youjie, Leng Wenquan, and Leng Peihou in the army; leng Lihua, Leng Liande, Leng Huazhi, and Zhang Hongde, who sacrificed their lives for the country in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, the War of Resistance Against US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the self-defense counterattack; Leng Lianzhen, Leng Lianjun, Leng Zhengyuan, Leng Huaishen, Zhang Yuande, and Leng Jinshui, the six invalids; Leng Wenfeng, Leng Haiting, Ding Gangyuan and Ding Baoyuan are the homes of the four heroes.
Lengjiashan is also a famous longevity village, among the 1,100 people in the village, there are three centenarians of Li Liu's 102 years old, Yu Zhao's 103 years old, and Ding Wang's 104 years old. It is a hundred times higher than the famous "longevity township" of Guangxi Bama (100,000 people with a population of 29.35 centenarians).
In the historical period of "taking grain as the guideline and developing in an all-round way", the village collective sideline industry has developed completely, with two forest farms (North Forest Farm and East Forest Farm), a sales office, a credit cooperative, a health room, a tractor transport group, an embroidery class, a red furnace group, a flour mill group, a sewing group, a vegetable garden group, etc., which can be described as "a sparrow although small and complete". It has been rated as an advanced unit of diversified operation for many times, attracting other brother units to visit the site as a typical promotion.
Before and after the liberation, the village sages took advantage of their agricultural leisure to write and entertain themselves, often performing in the New Year and performing friendship performances in the villages. The broad masses of the people are amazed by the plot story, the actor's appearance, and the beautiful singing voice in the play, almost lingering, and the alleys are empty. It is famous in the local area as the "Village of Small Drama". In the 1950s and 1960s, the self-written and self-directed "Three Feuds" and "White Haired Girl" caused a sensation in the Tandem performance of Xinzhai Commune, in which the heroine Xiaolan played by Leng Yuqing, Xi'er's actor Yu Guiying, and the dance performance Liu Xiang (Zhiqing) became the opera stars sought after by the whole commune. Therefore, there is a reputation that Lengjiashan is a "handsome girl". In 1971, he represented the propaganda team of Xinzhai Commune in the Changwei District Literary and Art Festival, and won the Excellence Award.
The village style is simple and simple, and the beginning is like home. In 1968, in response to the call of the state, twelve qingdao intellectuals "went to the mountains and went to the countryside" to Lengjiashan to "settle down" and "accept the re-education of poor and lower-middle peasants". They eat and live and work with the villagers, bringing knowledge and vitality, passion and dreams to the calm mountain village of "Chicken Flying Mulberry Tree". The Qingdao-Lengjiashan and Lengjiashan-Qingdao political, economic and cultural exchanges directly connected the trunk line. Imperceptibly formed a tangible and intangible "Lengjiashan Qingdao temperament", which is a valuable spiritual wealth that makes people in other villages envious. The contributions made by the zhiqing to the homeland and the far-reaching impact on the homeland will not be forgotten by the people of the homeland, and will be recorded in the annals of the cultural history of the homeland. The twelve zhiqing are: Zhu Jiatian is handsome, Huan Dechen is stable, Li Jinxiu Laocheng, Jiang Donghe is dexterous, Zhang Weiguo Dunhou, Ji Weibing is naïve, Liu Jianwei is lively, Geng Xiuzhen Qingxiu, Zhang Aizhi Junmei, Sun Luqi Wenya, Liu Xiang Peugeot, Kang Huijuan Wenjing. The village arranged a good character of the eldest sister Leng Aiguo to teach them to push and grind, carry water to cook and other daily life, they and the farmers of Lengjiashan established a deep friendship, Lengjiashan became their second hometown, 50 years they have never forgotten Lengjiashan, and now they still want to go to relatives to communicate and communicate with letters.
It is worth mentioning that the superiors were able to arrange twelve young men and women who were as pure as clear water, as simple as white paper, less than 20 years old, and who were full of life and vitality, to come to Lengjiashan to take care of their families, to discipline the school, and to settle down here for life and exercise.
In the old era of internal and external troubles and storms, the Lengjiashan homeland also experienced vicissitudes, and the "Linqu County Chronicle" recorded that in the early morning of the fifteenth day of the first month of 1926, after the White Tower bandit Ji Xuetang was provoked by Ma Wenlong, he created the appalling "Lengjiashan Massacre", shooting 6 people, injuring nearly 10 people, burning houses, snatching countless livestock and grain, and more than 20 villagers died of "cholera" due to injury and fright. At that time, there were fewer than 150 people in the village, and nearly 30 people died. Li Shiliang, the county governor, sent a staff to give away 3,000 yuan of "national currency" (this information was provided by Zhang Yuanfu, a senior accountant of the village).
In the 1830s, in order to avoid the chaos of war and bandits, the people of the homeland were built on the east, north and south sides of the mountain into a 5-meter-high, nearly one-meter-thick triad wall, with a sentry gate (the remnants still exist), and the center of the village was built with green brick and lime to build a three-story nearly 20-meter-high artillery tower (demolished by the four olds), with a lookout, a fort, and a cannon hole. Stand within a few miles of the turret and have a sweeping view.
In 1947, the Panyang District Committee of the Communist Party of China and the district government (district office) lived in Lengjiashan for a long time because of the strong fortifications and the more than 10 members of the village's squadrons (that is, members of the armed workers) such as Leng Lianmei, Leng Lianyuan, Leng Liangang, Leng Lianxing, Leng Wenting, Ding Wencai, and Yu Xiaoxin. Ju Peizhi, the first county magistrate after the founding of New China, and Guo Bin, a 28-year-old mayor of Panyang District (later secretary of the party committee of Jiangyu Commune and director of the county agricultural bureau), lived in Lengjiashan many times. Therefore, the local people have oral tradition that "there is Lengjia Mountain first, then there is Panyang District", "lay down Lengjia Mountain, east of the Mi River and withdraw Pingchuan". During the period of strategic transfer, most of the backbone of the armed workers who followed the district committee to Zhucheng, Wulian and other places became state cadres, Leng Shengyuan was the Nanchang Railway Public Security Department (division level), Leng Qingyuan was the deputy secretary of the party committee of Yingzi Commune, the general secretary of the county catering service company, and the researcher, Leng Wensheng was the township chief of Xingsi, and Su Shaopo was the director of the brigade's security.
The homeland is a veritable homeland of the Red Revolution, a cultural homeland of great righteousness, and an ecological homeland with beautiful mountains and rivers. The cultural self-confidence of the people in the whole village has been greatly improved. Among them, young cultural talents emerge from the scene, such as young poets Yu Weijie and Wang Fuyun, who are active in the Linqu literary circle. The author is not talented, but for the homeland of the earth spirit people, there is always an irrepressible love, borrowing the leisure time after retirement, picking up his own clumsy pen, and sometimes telling his feelings and thoughts. It seems that they are also following in the footsteps of the literati and realizing the achievements of old age. Leng Xin, a family member of the young and powerful homeland, is bold, has good leadership, is cohesive, and leads all the villagers to march forward towards the dream of a beautiful homeland.
There is a kind of gratitude called remembering, because of the memory so awe, because of reverence so inherited. The author wrote this article with great affection, which is also my affection for the homeland that gave birth to me and raised me!
