Details of Heshun hometown of overseas Chinese

"Ten people doing business in Myanmar are very good at taking money. Rich people are more polite, and Zhou Nan is crowned as an ancient town. " This little poem was written by my neighbor Li Genyuan. In line with local characteristics. Tengchong is the only place where the ancient Silk Road passes through southern Sichuan, Yunnan, Myanmar and India. Heshun is next to this "Guanma Avenue". Most of the residents in Heshun are brothers. During the Nanzhao Dali period, other ethnic groups such as the Han nationality gradually moved in, especially in the Ming Dynasty. These residents from the mainland have a high level of education. In addition, they are close to Myanmar smoothly, and the border is relatively free. They don't have to travel thousands of miles or cross the ocean. Border people often come and go, and the language is easy to communicate. Therefore, in case of military, diplomatic, commercial and other official duties, they are often employed as "general affairs" (translators) and tour guides, and some people are responsible for training the translators of "Siyi Pavilion" and "Myanmar Pavilion". Some travel to and from the Yunnan-Myanmar border, doing business and mining, and working and serving; Others work in Myanmar government and organs, and even become important figures. For example, Yin Rong of the Qing Dynasty was honored as Julian Waghann of Myanmar, and Xu Mingkuan was honored as King Zafu of Myanmar. Generally, they can only make a living, and some have become powerful businessmen. When Ganjia was in the period of social stability, the maritime ban was closed, and foreign trade was mainly by land. At this time, many overseas Chinese lived in Myanmar, which was also a period of great economic and cultural development. Since the navigation, the business situation in Tengchong Myanmar has fallen sharply. From the end of last century to the beginning of this century, the railways from Myitkyina, Lashu to Mahdri were built one after another, and the traffic from Tengchong to the hinterland of Myanmar was greatly improved. Yunnan's tobacco, wine, silk and tea sell well in Myanmar. Myanmar has also harvested a lot of cotton, jade and precious stones. Tengchong's textile industry was once prosperous. Heshun's economic development has reached another peak. After that, the customs were strictly closed, especially during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, when the trade routes were cut off and the business was depressed.

Heshun overseas Chinese are abroad and their hearts are tied to the motherland. They earnestly hope that the motherland will be prosperous and always care about frontier construction. They actively supported the revolutionary cause in the Revolution of 1911, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the War of Liberation, giving generously and running in many ways, and some gave their lives and blood for it. Sun Yat-sen once praised Haiting, an overseas Chinese village, as "the flag of overseas Chinese and the glory of the nation". For a long time, they have been enthusiastic about the public welfare undertakings in their hometown, building bridges and roads, building temples, cultivating landscapes and developing culture and education. The public construction in the village is permeated with their hard work. go to

Entering Heshun Village, I saw that the houses in the whole town were built on the mountain from east to west, getting deeper and higher, with dense houses, well-repaired, white walls and tiles, neat and beautiful. A large number of spacious courtyards, few people live, because the owners live abroad, and the housing is only entrusted to relatives and friends. The roads and alleys in the village are paved with stone slabs, which are smooth and smooth; Even on the ridge in front of the village and on the slope of Bajiaoguan behind the village, there are stone strips. It's rainy and muddy elsewhere in Tengchong, but it's not rotten or slippery here. On the Qingxi River around the village, a laundry pavilion was built across the river. The pavilions are mostly the size of two bungalows, with slightly inclined corners, well-shaped stone strips on the water surface and wooden benches next to them. The spring water flows down the stone, within reach. The villagers wash clothes and vegetables here, and spend the summer in sunny days and rain in cloudy days. When they come back from working in the fields, they can take a bath and enjoy the cool here. On the roadside near the village, there are often semicircular platforms with flat ground, guardrails, stone benches and big green trees. Every night, the old people get together to chat and the children play.

In the play, there was laughter. Looking at the well-stocked library and well-equipped Yiqun Middle School standing in the village, people really feel that this is a wealthy village where everyone is enthusiastic about public welfare and a hometown of overseas Chinese with culture and virtue.

The hometown of overseas Chinese has a mild climate and lush flowers and trees. People attach importance to the cultivation of rural scenery, and many ancient buildings have been preserved. To the west, at the end of the village and the southern end of Heshun Dam, there is a Kuige, where tall redwoods stand on the Aoshan Mountain at the mouth of Daying River. Fragrant fruit trees, mossy bluestones, clean stone roads in front of the forest, classical buildings at the end of the winding path, Shi Niu lying on the platform and Yuan Dynasty ancient fir about five meters thick are all locked in a piece of green. Next to Jiaoxi Village in the east of the village, the Longyuan Pavilion at the junction of Toutoupo and Laifengshan is staggered and magnificent. Clear water in front of the pavilion, surrounded by trees and lakes, is good at winning one side.

There are dozens of families living in Jiaoxi Village next to the pavilion, including the former residence of Ai Siqi, a famous philosopher in China. Ai Siqi's former residence is a Chinese courtyard with exquisite architecture. There is a stone arch in the lobby of the main house, surrounded by green vines, which is elegant and elegant. In recent years, Ai Siqi's relatives donated his former residence to the country, and the government also allocated funds to maintain it.

The exquisite and elegant Heshun Library, founded in 1929, is the earliest and largest township library in China with a collection of more than 60,000 volumes, many of which are rare rare rare books in China. Yiqun Middle School, founded in 1940, has trained many talents for the hometown of overseas Chinese, and now it has more than 1000 students.

Heshun Township has also produced celebrities such as Li Yuetai, secretary-general of the First Army of the National Defence Force, and Cun Shusheng, an educator in central Yunnan, which Zhang Taiyan called "a pen in southern Yunnan". He managed better in business and contributed to the economic development of his place of residence.

In the west of Yunnan, Tengchong County, near the border between China and Myanmar, there is a classical and beautiful Jiangnan village-Heshun Township. This is a secret place on earth, which preserves the most classical pastoral scenery in Yunnan and many buildings and folk customs before Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Time flies, and the years are ruthless. The exquisite life and gorgeous ostentation and extravagance I once had have dissipated and been buried in the dust of history.

4 kilometers from Tengchong County, across a paddy field, across the stone bridge to Heshun Township in the sound of frogs. Heshun originated from the poem "Clouds are auspicious and calm". It is an important post station and a famous hometown of overseas Chinese on the Southwest Silk Road in ancient Sichuan, Yunnan, Myanmar and India.

There is a gray rain pavilion beside the country road to shelter from the rain. There is a Ming-style laundry pavilion between the gurgling stream and the water lilies. Young women are still pounding clothes and washing vegetables on the thick wooden boards near the water. The white geese in Longtan described in Tang poetry play in the water. Painted buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, furniture, archways, Confucius temples and plaques built a hundred years ago are as good as ever. Although it has been faded by the wind and rain, it is more pleasing to the eye, setting off the heavy ancient rhyme of beautiful countryside. All these make Heshun rich in historical and cultural accumulation, full of humanistic atmosphere, and "complement each other" with the rural natural scenery of beautiful countryside.

After crossing Shuanghongqiao, I came to Shuicone Village, Heshun Township. I saw the dense ancient houses built on the mountain, with white walls and tiles, neat and beautiful. There are deep streets between houses, which connect the whole village as a whole. It can be seen that the scale of this village is not small, and the architectural form has also been planned and designed. It used to be brilliant. Several ancestral temples in the village are extraordinarily richly built, showing the dignity of the family and reminding people of the ancestors of each family who lived in their native land after vicissitudes.

I walked in the alley and looked for it in the alley. When it is rainy and windy, the alley is very dark and long, and it seems to have no end; Under the sun, the sun sprinkled mottled spots in the alley, flashing, mysterious and fantastic. The big LV doors on both sides of the roadway are gray-black; Thick walls are also gray-black. I just feel that doors and walls are like a heavy book that opens in front of me. A page of history, a page of wind and rain, a page of dignified and long. The 600-year wind and rain in Heshun's hometown of overseas Chinese has left a deep mark on every slate, every blue tile and every pile of gray walls in every roadway.

When you walk into any ordinary family and deep house compound, when you hear the old clock ringing on the wall, a feeling of crossing just visiting and entering ancient times will arise spontaneously. What every outsider will see, think about Tengchong people's life scenes, and think about their fashionable lifestyle that is "in line with international standards". Every family has endless stories, and their treasures are different.

After years of precipitation, the artifacts inadvertently scattered among the people tell people the glory and fashion of Heshun countryside. A woman in a cloth walked down the creaking wooden stairs and into the first room, with a faint oil lamp shining in her footsteps. A cup of coffee was brewed with a Russian teapot, and a strong aroma immediately dispersed in the old house with bluestone floors and wood carvings as windows. Sit down in the carved rosewood chair in Nanyang style and sip gently. The metal pendulum of the Italian and Roman wall clock on the wall makes a deep and round sound, which adds to the loneliness of the left-behind, but it also seems to tell people that it is time for the host to have tea at night.

Walking in Heshun Township, everything shows the unique tranquility and elegance of Confucian culture in the Central Plains to the world.

Walking in a quiet alley always makes people feel unspeakable pleasure and comfort. All the buildings are in harmony. After the rain washed away, the bluestone road reflecting the crystal light, the camphor tree swaying on the Feng Shui platform, the plaques everywhere in the streets, the ancestral temple near the mountains and the Longtan reflected by the towering trees all show the world the unique tranquility and elegance of Confucian culture in the Central Plains. It shows a long scroll rooted in the countryside and benefiting from the customs of modern water towns.

Heshun people pursue elegance. They not only passed on the idea of pursuing knowledge and culture from generation to generation, but also expressed their wishes in various buildings in the village.

Above, plaques such as "the shadow of the scholarly world" and "poetic handicrafts" hidden for many years can be seen everywhere in the village. The houses, plaques and pavilions in the ancestral hall are filled with distant culture and books, showing good wishes.

Heshun Township Library, an ancient building with carved beams and painted buildings, stands at the entrance of the village. It is the village-level library with the longest history and the richest collection of books in China. Gently pushed open the door, a familiar smell in the history of literature came to my face ... A neatly trimmed fragrant tree in the hospital was covered with green bamboo and green onions. A magnolia opposite the bamboo, with new buds sprouting, seems to have nothing, which makes people have more wishful thinking about the delicate flowers that are about to bloom. I stood in front of the gate of Heshun Library, overlooking the clear water of Jiaoxi, the rainbow of Shuangqiao and the golden rice waves. There is a steady stream of clear water, an endless source of knowledge, and ships in Tianjin are weaving. Elegant harmony, deep alleys and outstanding talents are all related to this library. Deep alleys, endless romance; The gurgling stream can't stop the elegant legend of the ancient town on the border. The mossy stone wall is enough to prove its long history, and the antique buildings and inscriptions of literati show a dignified appearance.
