Zhengzhou teacher, hello everyone, a certain ball thing on the weekend, this time a nagging Liu Zhuang. A village that is not only special today, but also full of mysteries in its historical origins.
Zhengzhou Liuzhuang
Liuzhuang is located near Sanquan Road, Huayuan Road, with a golden location, close to the high-end office buildings in the 360 business circle, becoming the preferred place for newly graduated office workers, and the population size is second only to the famous urban village of Chen Zhai. It is said that at its peak, the permanent population of Liuzhuang was as high as 150,000. At night, the streets are bustling, shoulder to shoulder, and the busy streets have to walk sideways. This shows the prosperity of Liu Zhuang at the beginning.
Liuzhuang location advantage
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the village of Liu Zhuang began to gather residential crowds, because most of the surnames were Liu, named Liu Zhuang. But the village doesn't seem to be as nurturing. After the Liu family settled down here, although food and clothing could be solved, they have always been thin and their descendants are not prosperous. The reproduction of descendants is a big thing, and the Liu family gradually became suspicious of this place, and after several thoughts, decided to move the family elsewhere.
Around the time of the Qing Dynasty, a family surnamed Yang suffered a famine in his hometown and wanted to eat and wandered here. Found here the land is good, the river rain is abundant, and the houses left by the former residents, although a little dilapidated, but for the wandering to eat, it is a good choice to have a shelter from the wind and rain, not to mention that there are wild vegetables and wild fruits nearby, the water source is good, the land is also fertile, hoard some wild vegetables, sprinkle some grain to plant the land, and the next year can cope with famine. So, happily settled down.
Deserters
After the Yang family settled here, with their own and their families' hard work, although their lives were hard, they gradually solved the problem of simple food and clothing. Later, the wind and rain were smooth for many years, and with surplus grain, the days went smoothly day by day. But there is a problem that plagues the members of the Yang family, that is, the population of the family has always been thin, especially the birth rate of boys is particularly low, and there is only one male in each generation.
In ancient times, the prosperity of men was a big thing, and the seven generations of single transmission made the Yang family as the family, as the liu clan patriarch often pondered, considering whether this was suitable for long stay, and even once had the idea of relocating to another place. But three days of near-moving, three years of far-off relocation, after all, moving is not an easy task. The Yang family decided to wait and see.
In the early years, boys were the labor hope of the family
Fortunately, when he arrived at Yang Forest, he broke this spell, and Yang Forest gave birth to three sons, one of whom was tall and tall, and another son gave birth to four grandchildren for him, and Ren Ding suddenly prospered. After all, there are more people who open their mouths to eat, in order to solve the problem of eating for the big family, Yang Forest led his sons to rent thirty acres of paddy fields of the ma family and planted rice.
Many people do not know that Zhengzhou also grows rice
With these thirty acres of rice, the Yang family turned over, not only obtained a bumper harvest, but also bought back paddy fields. Since then, with these primitive accumulations, more land has been laid down around, and the Yang family has become a prominent family in the surrounding area. With plenty of money in hand, they also built the Yang family compound covering an area of more than 20 acres, the houses in the four courtyards were beautiful and magnificent, and the two-zhang-high wall made the Yang family compound look different. It is said that after 1949, the Yang family compound also became an office place.
Although it is no longer in the jianghu, the jianghu still has its legend. In addition to the famous Yangzhuang compound, this village also has a double king temple, which, like the Yangzhuang courtyard, has become a memory that everyone in Liuzhuang's elderly generation will never forget. Many people may say that temples are not uncommon in various villages, in the past Zhengzhou village, which village did not have a temple? However, the people enshrined in the Liuzhuang Double King Temple are very special, and there are not only tributes to Guan Gong, but also to Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Ye.
The reason for the worship of Zhao Kuangyin is that there was a legend of Zhao Kuangyin praying for rain here at that time. Legend has it that there was a year of drought in this place of Liuzhuang, and the people begged for rain for a long time without results. As a post-80s generation, when I was a child, I also saw some village elders asking for rain. A Taoist priest pointed out that there was a big man who would pass by here in a few days, and begged him to stay and ask for rain, maybe he could succeed.
Zhao Kuangyin (Film and Television Drama)
After a few days, sure enough, a strange big man passed by, Liu Zhuang people left him down to ask for rain, and sure enough, this big han was the later Zhao Kuangyin, and after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he built a temple in Liu Zhuang.
As for the other offering, Liu Ye, the legend is even more evil. It is said that it is a peddler who sells pots, the business is sluggish, and rests in a broken temple. In his sleep, an old man told him to take himself to Liu Zhuang. After waking up, the vendor saw an old man with a clay sculpture next to him. Taking this clay sculpture old man on the road, the hawker's business suddenly became better, and the supply of pots was in short supply. The peddlers were grateful and enshrined the old man in the temple of Liu Zhuang and often worshipped him. Because the clay sculpture has no other origin name, the locals call it "Liu Ye".
Today's Liuzhuang, not only the Yangzhuang compound and the Double King Temple have disappeared, but the former village has also disappeared. According to statistics, an average of 80 villages in China disappear every day, and the so-called villages in Zhengzhou are only a small grain of sand in the torrent of history.
We will still have a little memory, and the next generation may forget it completely. The torrent of history is like this, it cannot be reversed, people are always running to a new life, but it is inevitable to recall those who have experienced it.
How do you feel when you look back on this when you're older?
