Was Yizhuang a ghost village in ancient times?
The first explanation:
Yizhuang
Yizhuang was built in the 24th year of Jiaqing (18 19) and completed two years later. In the first year of Daoguang (182 1), it began to operate, handle relief business and help clans. Due to the well-designed system, Yizhuang operated on its own for 1 16 years. It was not until 1937 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out that the traffic between Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province was blocked and the charity work stopped. During this period, the Lin family has spread from the first generation of Lin Pinghou to the fourth generation of Lin's family. Established in the first year of Daoguang (A.D. 182 1), the inscription of "Lin's Yizhuang" is long and has very detailed provisions on Yizhuang system. The inscription first states that Lin Pinghou is willing to use his paddy field in Danshui, Taiwan Province, at a price of 43.8 cents and 4.2 cents (each piece is about 3 cents for mainland 1 1 mu, which is equivalent to 500 mu in total) as his home. Lin's descendants may not regard it as ancestral property. In order to prevent future troubles, please ask the local officials to set up another Yongze Hall for Yitian people, which is well-known and registered. These fields are very good and fertile, rarely suffer from droughts and floods, and their annual income is quite stable. After deducting taxes and losses, 1600 stone (each stone 1.20 kg) is actually rented every year. In the ancient system, 1 stone was equal to 10 bucket, equal to 100 liter and equal to 1000. The rented grain is sold as silver coins in fresh water, and tickets are sent to Yongzetang in the mainland twice a year, and then the managers buy rice at any time and distribute it to the people on a monthly basis. Yitian has two managers, both of whom are virtuous, talented or well-off. One is in Danshui, which collects rent and remits it to the mainland; One is in Yangcuo, responsible for buying rice, delivering food and buying a house. They can also get paid. Yizhuang's accounts should be clearly published and subject to inspection and supervision by the people. According to the actual situation of Qifang Bridge, he put forward the method of establishing "Qian's Huaihai Yizhuang" to solve the contradiction between tenant farmers and landlords. This Yizhuang system was approved by the county magistrate. This is beneficial to stabilize the countryside and overcome the difficulties of agricultural production after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The method of setting up Yizhuang soon spread. In less than a year, Dangkou also built Huangshi Nongyizhuang and Huayi Yizhuang. In less than three years, Wuxi, Suzhou, Kunshan, Changshu, Taicang and even Chongming have also established Yizhuang. Yizhuang has become the most powerful economic organization in the south of the Yangtze River, stabilizing the countryside and developing the rural economy. It has become a fashion to set up primary schools in Jiangnan. Song Hu Yuannian (1049), Fan Zhongyan, a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, was born in Faqizhuang. Later, Zhang, Guo and Chen in Jintan County, Jiangsu Province successively set up Yizhuang. Not many people set up Yizhuang in Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Yizhuang increased, and the establishment of Yizhuang was recorded in Anhui, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi and Zhili. In the Qing Dynasty, the number of people who set up Yicun increased dramatically. In the folk period, the construction of Yizhuang is still expanding.
The second explanation:
Yizhuang is the product of agricultural society. In a big nation, some are poor and some are rich, and the rich give money to run a village.
Yizhuang includes schools, public fields, ancestral halls and other facilities. In historical documents, Fan Zhongyan is the earliest recorded Yicun village in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In Suzhou, with the change of social structure, the content of Yizhuang gradually narrowed, and in modern times, it was almost only used as a ancestral hall.
Mainly. In the city, that place called Yizhuang also has a very special purpose: to put coffins.
So it can be simply said that Yizhuang is a place to store coffins. Of course, the coffin will not be empty, and there are bodies in the coffin.
Bodies, mostly have not found a good burial place at that time, or the deceased died in another country, and the family members are going to transport it back to the mainland for burial, or
I am so poor that I can only temporarily put it in Yizhuang. Also refers to the hospital morgue.
The third explanation:
"Yizhuang" was originally a kind of charity in ancient times, and the donor took out a certain amount of land, and its rent was dedicated to charitable purposes; However, Yizhuang in the stock market refers to the "moral" banker. On the last trading day of potash put warrants, it was announced in advance that it was really bold to keep the warrant price at a certain high level in order to make profits for the loss-making retail investors. The mysterious man was also called "Yizhuang" at the earliest. Nowadays, there are more and more charitable "righteous villages" in gub, and all kinds of magic soldiers have come out of the mountain to predict the daily limit of many stocks, which is called "believers get rich with them". Retail investors should be wary of such "righteous acts".
The fourth explanation:
Yizhuang refers to a specific place where unburied coffins are temporarily stored.
In earlier years, China people emigrated from Chinese mainland to Hongkong or worked overseas to make a living, hoping to be buried in their hometown after their death. Yizhuang provided a temporary and unified place to put coffins or bones until later generations were fully prepared to move their ancestors to the burial cemetery. There are also special examples. For example, individual bodies have not been arranged by family members in different places, or relatives are so poor that they can only transfer to Yizhuang to make plans.
