History of Tiepu Town

1.5 Chaozhou folk legends and their meanings

"Zhang Ziguo" in the previous world and "Guo Zizhang" in this world Guo Zizhang - the prefect of Chaozhou in the Ming Dynasty. While in office, he supervised the construction of Chaozhou Phoenix Pagoda (i.e. Ganxi Pagoda: the door of the pagoda has a couplet inscribed by him in his own handwriting: "The jade pillars hold up the sky, the phoenix rises from the east mountain and marks the seventh level; the golden wheel touches the ground, the dragon and the red sea subdue the three suns"). It is said that one morning, Guo Zizhang had nothing to do, so he sat on the Taishi chair in the hall and had a sweet dream.

The master happened to come to see him for something. When he saw his grandpa sleeping on a chair and eating with relish, he softly called out: "Master!" Guo Zizhang woke up from his sleep and said angrily: "I am eating stone snails, it smells so good! How could you wake me up? If it were someone else! I would be rude to him!" The master said, "Why?" The master said, "I just dreamed of going to the wild. The scenery was beautiful and pastoral! When I was tired, I sat on the mound to rest, and my stomach growled. At this time, a kind lady brought a bowl full of cooked snails to me. I was eating, and I was woken up by you. "The master said wittily: "How about we look for the place you just dreamed of?" Since Guo Zizhang was idle in the morning, he was here again at this time. When he was in a mood, he said, "Okay."

The two of them took a sedan chair and went from the mansion gate with a few followers to follow the path that the grandfather had just dreamed about. They passed through the "Anding Gate" in the west of the city and arrived at the current west of the city. The streets of "Chunguang Caicuo", "Xinpu", "Houtenjia", "Chenqiao", "Yunli", "Liandun", "Daxinxiang", "Zhuwei" and "Dayuan" are now Fengxin streets. "Finally, when I came to a pond outside Xitang Village, I saw an old woman kneeling in front of a grave. The only offerings in front of the grave were a bowl of cooked stone snails and some paper money. The master stepped forward and asked: "Old lady, who are you worshiping?" The old lady said: "You are worshiping my son."

The master said: "Usually the lower generation worships the upper generation, but "Is there anyone from the previous generation who worships someone from the lower generation?" The old lady said, "Master, you don't know. There are only two of us, an orphan and a widow. Who should worship my son when he dies?" The old man said, "That's right. "What's your son's name?" The old lady said, "My son's name is Zhang Ziguo." Then the master shouted, "Shut up! How can you repeat our grandfather's name?" The old lady said: "It is absolutely true that my son's name is Zhang Ziguo. We all have the surname Zhang in Xitang Village. Since my son left, it has been difficult for the family to have three meals a day. He loved eating stone snails most in life. Today is his memorial day. So I went to the pond and took a bowl of stone snails, cooked them, and brought them to his grave to worship. If you don’t believe me, just go to the village and ask!” The grandpa said, “Okay!” Then she asked with concern: "Auntie, what did your son look like, how did he die, and how old was he when he died?" The old lady said, "My son looks great! He looks very much like you, my great master."

< p> The master wanted to scream again, but he stopped after being given a hint by the master. The old lady continued: "My son is very smart! He has been eager to learn since he was a child, and he can play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, boxing, poetry, song, and composition. Unfortunately, when he was nineteen years old, he suffered from a serious illness that cannot be cured. Passed away."

Guo Zizhang made a quick calculation, could it be that it was really her son who came to this world to be me? Then Tuo said: "Okay! Let's go to your house and have a look!" When they arrived at the aunt's house in Xitang Village, the old aunt said: "Master, look, this is my son's bedroom and the four treasures of the study he used. and the manuscripts he wrote during his lifetime.” Guo Zizhang took a look and found that everything here was exactly what he had seen in his many dreams.

At this time, Guo Zizhang was very excited! He discussed with the master for a while and invited the squires and elders. They all proved that it was true. After Guo Zizhang understood the situation and described the whole story and intention, he immediately recognized the old lady as his mother. The master sent someone to call Bring a sedan and take the old lady to live in Chaozhou Mansion. 2.

There is no hope for Jinshi in Nei'an. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Guo Yufan, who was born in Hanlin, went to serve as the magistrate of Raoping County and came from Chaozhou Prefecture along the official road. As soon as he entered Raoping County, he ordered his entourage to lift the curtain of the sedan chair and move forward slowly to observe the scenery and people.

When the official sedan arrived at the western mountainous area, there was suddenly the sound of reading carried by the wind. Guo Zhixian was ordered to live in a sedan chair. Looking in the direction of the sound of books, he saw a village among the green trees, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a clear stream in front of him.

He asked his entourage: "Where is this place?" The entourage replied: "It is Nei'an Township in Xinningdu (today's Zhuzhangxi Town)." Guo Zhixian admired it very much: "The mountainous countryside is so beautiful. It has become a common practice, and a group of talents will appear in the future."

It turns out that in order to enable the children in the village to enter the imperial examination, the brigade commanders set up foreign schools and hired famous teachers, which greatly promoted their literary style and promoted their culture. The scene of luck. The two most successful private schools in the township are Yudexuan and Xinlanzhai.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, in response to Guo Yufan's words in the past, a group of scribes who were familiar with classics and history and versed in poetry and calligraphy emerged in the countryside. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall was the first to be honored, with two plaques hung one after another. The upper hall was erected by Chen Danshu, the scholar, and the lower hall was erected by Chen Tengfei, the deputy imperial scholar.

After Chen's success in the imperial examinations, there were still many well-educated people in the village. However, after they became scholars, they were unwilling to take part in the provincial examinations. Of course, no one could go to Beijing to take part in the imperial examinations. Why? It turned out that after Chen Dan was elected to the imperial examination, he fell ill and died due to his inability to adapt to the rough seas while taking a boat to Beijing for the examination.

His nephew Chen Tengfei followed his uncle's unfinished ambition and studied scriptures diligently. After passing the imperial examination, he did not dare to take the waterway, so he worked hard overland to get to Beijing and won the imperial examination. Unfortunately, he did not know how to give gifts to relevant officials in the imperial court. After returning to his hometown, he never received news of his appointment, and he fell ill and died of depression.

In that era of superstitious Feng Shui, these unfortunate events were regarded as the will of God that "the earth is weak and it is difficult to find noble people". There was a saying that "there is no hope of becoming a scholar in the inner peace". Therefore, a group of knowledgeable scribes After being admitted as scholars, they stopped moving forward. Thirteen of them went to teach in other places with their book bags. To this day, people in the village often talk about the past of "Thirteen School Bags". Since then, the saying "There is no hope for Jinshi in Nei'an" has been circulated in the western mountainous area of ​​​​Raoping, which is a metaphor for those hopes that cannot be realized, and may also contain regrets for buried talents.

3. Begging for food, the emperor's mouth Legend has it that there is a temple in Qiantang Palace in Raoping. The statues in the temple are handsome and lifelike.

One day, a pair of sisters-in-law came to the temple to make wishes. My sister-in-law looked at the statue and fell in love with it. She felt in a trance and secretly prayed in her heart: If her husband has such an appearance in the future, she will be willing to do so.

This is the thought. 2. What townships are there in Guangshan County

Guangshan County People***—Guangshan County Situation

Guangshan County People***—Administrative Divisions 3. Which place did Haiyang County refer to in ancient times

Editor of Chao'an County The birthplace of Haiyang County. The longest time in history that the name "Haiyang County" has been used is Haiyang County in Nanyue Kingdom (now Guangdong). It was established in the early Western Han Dynasty until it was abolished in the first year of the Republic of China (1912), a period of 1,600 years.

In the early Western Han Dynasty, the Nanyue Kingdom (203 BC-111 BC) divided Jieyang County and Haiyang County in the Qin Jieyang garrison (Nanhai Kingdom in the early Han Dynasty). During this period, the two counties of Jieyang and Haiyang stood side by side. The beginning of the establishment of Haiyang County. In the sixth year of Yuanding of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty (111 BC), when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom, he established Jieyang County (the seat of governance is today's Fengshun) and abandoned Haiyang County established by the Nanyue Kingdom.

In the sixth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (331), Jieyang County was abolished and Haiyang County was established, under the jurisdiction of Dongguan County, with the county seat in today's Chaozhou. Since then, Haiyang County has been divided several times through the Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the third year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1738), it was divided into Fengzhengdu, Yongning Township in the north of Haiyang County, Lantiandu, Chongyi Township, Jieyang County, Qingyuandu, Guangde Township, Dabu County, and the border town of the three counties. Fengshun County is set up in the remote capital, and Fengshun County is the last county separated from Haiyang County. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Haiyang County was renamed Chao'an County (today's Chao'an District, Chaozhou City).

[1] The name of Haiyang County came into being in the early Western Han Dynasty. It was established permanently in 331 AD (the sixth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty) and was abolished in 1912 AD (the first year of the Republic of China) (because of the relationship with Haiyang, Shandong Province). The county has the same name), with a history of nearly 1,600 years, so losing the name of Haiyang is actually the pain of Chaozhou (Chaoan)! Haiyang is the capital city of Lingdong. For nearly two thousand years before the Republic of China, it has been the seat of state, prefecture and county. It is the political and economic center of eastern Guangdong (including present-day Shantou City, Chaozhou City, Jieyang City and Meizhou City). , cultural and military center. After Qin Shihuang unified Lingnan in the 33rd year (214 BC), Nanhai County was established in Lingnan. Nanhai County also established Jieyang garrison. The jurisdiction of Jieyang garrison included the four prefecture-level cities of Chaozhou, Shantou, Jieyang, Meizhou and Lufeng in Guangdong Province today. The city area, as well as the five counties of Yunxiao, Dongshan, Zhao'an, Zhangpu and Pinghe under the jurisdiction of Zhangzhou, Fujian Province.

Jieyang garrison was named after the place was located in the Yangtze River of Jieling. Guo Chunzhen's "Chaozhou Prefecture Chronicles" of the Ming Dynasty said: "Jieyang Mountain is 150 miles northwest of the county, and its Qin name is Jieling."

"Chaozhou Chronicles" contains: Jieyang Mountain is 48 kilometers north of Jieyang County and 1106 meters high in the northeast. Mi, the north and south branches reach the border of Fengshun Land River. The situation is rocky and steep. The main mountain of the county is also called Jieyang Ridge. This was the beginning of the establishment of local administrative districts in the Han River Basin.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to weaken the two vassal states of Minyue and Nanyue, the Han Dynasty ordered Minyue and Nanyue to separate part of their land and establish the Nanhai Kingdom. The king of Nanhai Kingdom (namely Nanwuhou, Mingzhi) was directly appointed by the Central Committee of the Western Han Dynasty and was nominally subordinate to Dongyue Kingdom.

Most scholars believe that the capital of Nanhai Kingdom should be in Guangdong, because in fact, the border of Nanhai Kingdom is equivalent to the Jieyang garrison of the original Qin Dynasty. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, the Nanyue Kingdom (203 BC - 111 BC) divided Jieyang County and Haiyang County (Haiyang County is in today's Chaozhou) within the Qin Jieyang garrison (Nanhai Kingdom in the early Han Dynasty). During this period, Jieyang and Haiyang counties The two counties were established side by side, which was the beginning of the establishment of Haiyang County.

In the sixth year of Yuanding of the Western Han Dynasty (111 BC), when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom, he established Jieyang County (the seat of governance is today's Fengshun) and abandoned Haiyang County established by the Nanyue Kingdom. Wang Mang (AD 8-23) established Nanhai Pavilion in Jieyang County, which is now located in Chaozhou.

During the Xianhe reign of Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (325-342), Dongguan County was established in the eastern part of Nanhai County, with jurisdiction over Jieyang County, Baoan County, etc. Including present-day Zengcheng, Dongguan, Shenzhen and the eastern Guangdong region to the east.

In the sixth year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 331), Jieyang County was abolished and Haiyang County was established, under the jurisdiction of Dongguan County, with the county seat in today's Chaozhou. Haiyang County was divided and Ngee'an County was established in the ninth year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (413 AD). The county government was located in Haiyang County (today's Chaozhou).

In the ninth year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (413), based on the five "migrant camps" in the upper reaches of Aixi River, Yizhao County (today's Dabu) was established in the northern part of ancient Haiyang County. In the first year of Qi Yongming in the Southern Dynasty (483), Yizhao County was analyzed and Chengxiang County was established.

In the Southern Dynasties, Liang established Dongyangzhou, which was later renamed Yingzhou. In the 10th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty (590), counties were abolished and prefectures were established throughout the country. At the beginning, Yi'an County belonged to Xunzhou.

In the 11th year, Ngee'an was first called Chaozhou, and the prefecture of Chaozhou was still in Haiyang County (today's Chaozhou). In the third year of the Xuanhe reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (1121), the three townships of Yongning, Yande and Chongyi in Haiyang County were analyzed and Jieyang County was established to govern [阝里] Huang, which belonged to Chaozhou.

Shaoxing was revoked in three years. Yongning Township, Haiyang County, today's Rongcheng and the places east of Jieyang; Yande Township, Haiyang County, today's Jinping District and Longhu District, Shantou City, including Anbu Town, Chao'an County; Chongyi Township, Haiyang County, today's Dayang, Jiexi Wujingfu, Jinhe, Tatou, Fengjiang, Jiedong Linpan, Yuhu, including Tangkeng in Fengshun County, etc.

In the 10th year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty (1140), Jieyang County was re-established and the county seat was moved to Yujiao Village (today's Rongcheng, Jieyang). By the Ming Dynasty, Haiyang County was divided into Raoping County, Dabu County and Chenghai County.

In the third year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1738), it was divided into Fengzhengdu, Yongning Township in the north of Haiyang County, Lantiandu, Chongyi Township, Jieyang County, Qingyuandu, Guangde Township, Dabu County, and the border town of the three counties. Fengshun County was set up in the remote capital. Fengshun County was the last county separated from Haiyang County. The county government was initially located in Fengzheng capital of the original Haiyang County, so it was named Fengshun County. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), it was renamed Chao'an County.

Chaoan County (Chaozhou City) was initially named after liberation. In November 1958, Fenghuang Town and Dashan Town in Raoping County were assigned to Chaoan County. In 1992, Chaozhou was established as a prefecture-level city, and the old Chao'an city and Chao'an suburbs were divided. Chao'an County was established in the suburbs, and Anbu Town was governed by the county.

At this point, Chao'an's history as a county has come to an end, and the establishment of the district has entered a new stage of urbanization. Haiyang County, Tangshan City, was established in the Western Han Dynasty and belonged to Liaoxi County at that time, southwest of Luan County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province today.

The Three Kingdoms Wei, Jin and Northern Wei were the result. Liaoxi County of Northern Qi Province merged into Beiping County, and Haiyang County of Northern Qi Province merged into Feiru County.

Baidu Encyclopedia - Resident Identity Card Number 5. What is the meaning of the proverb "There will be no mercy without prosperity"

Before liberation, in There was a proverb circulating in the border area between Chaocheng and Rao, saying "Rao cannot be achieved without prosperity". The meaning is: Without Longdu (called Longyan City in ancient times, including today's Lianhua Town in Chenghai), Raoping cannot be a city. (It means Raoping means hardship) This is an old saying used by people in the old days to look at old affairs. (After liberation, Longdu was transferred from Raoping to Chenghai). However, this old saying does reflect the historical reality of Jiu Raoping.

It can be seen from the old maps that Raoping County, whose county seat was built in Sanrao, crossed Yanhong and Zhanglin Dongling (now called Dongli) in Chenghai to govern the area sandwiched between Chaoan and Chenghai. The boundary lies in Longdu, which is seventy or eighty miles away from the county seat. This is related to the proverb "No one can survive without prosperity". Raoping valued Longdu because most of the mountainous and coastal areas in Raoping were relatively poor, while Longdu, which was located in the plains, was relatively wealthy. There is a widely circulated proverb that exaggerates and describes Longdu's wealth, saying, "If Longdu's embankment does not collapse for three years, sow pigs can hang gold ear hooks." Longdu has been a water network area since ancient times, a land of plenty; The old Raoping County government was the main source of money and grain.

From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the wealthy Longdu was famous not only in Raoping, but also in Chaoshan. Because in these two historical eras, Longdu produced two famous and influential figures. One is Chen Tingguang, a former member of the U.S. Village. People in Duli respectfully call him "Master Chen". He worked as an official for more than 30 years. After returning home in the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, he was enthusiastic about social welfare undertakings, donated more than 6,690 taels of silver, and repaired more than 4,000 feet of embankments surrounding Longdu's north and south embankments with mirage ash to ensure increased agricultural income and make All are richer. He also founded the "Yongning Sai" in his village and other public welfare projects in the capital, which won praise from the people and officials at all levels. He was also awarded the honor of "a heavy banquet of deer sounds" by the imperial court. Another one was Chen, a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Cihuang, who is also a former Meicun native, followed his father Chen Huanrong to Hong Kong to do business since he was a child. After getting rich, he went to Thailand to establish "Hongli Bank" and set up branches in Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shantou and other places to engage in rice processing and trading. and the financial industry, and became the "richest overseas Chinese" in the world. Under his leadership and influence, the former United States and Quanlongdu gradually became famous as hometowns of overseas Chinese.

Some people use the homophonic pronunciation of "Long" and "Nong" to say that "without agriculture, there is no agriculture", and give a new explanation with the saying "one farmer defeats hundreds of merchants", indicating that agriculture is the foundation, and there is no development without agriculture. , there can be no rich places. This explanation is in line with the current principles and policies of the party and the country. It is an attempt to apply the past to the present, and it is worth referring to 6. How to divide Chaozhou

Come on, come on, Let me tell you, this question is very simple.

Chaoshan area/Chaoshan four cities refers to the four prefecture-level cities of Chaozhou, Jieyang, Shantou and Shanwei.

< p> In ancient times, these places were collectively called Chaozhou. In the era when they were collectively called Chaozhou, they were relatively prosperous, so that Chaozhou was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people (the latter is my own understanding)

Recently. Over the past 20 years, these four prefecture-level cities have been gradually divided. Chaozhou now refers to Chaozhou City, including two counties (Chaoan County and Raoping County) and two districts (Xiangqiao District and Fengxi District). , Jiexi, and Huilai are now counties under the jurisdiction of Jieyang City. Other cities also have their own jurisdiction.

If you want to know how to divide these places, you can refer to the telephone area code. The area code of the same city is the same. Puning 0663 is the area code of Jieyang City. The ones in Chaozhou are all 0768. There are also license plate numbers. Those in Jieyang are all Guangdong V, and those in Chaozhou are Guangdong U.

In addition, you can buy a map of Guangdong Province. The administrative regions are clearly divided.

Calling people with a Chaoshan accent Chaozhou people is a legacy of history! It shows that our four cities in Chaoshan have the same ancestor! hehe! 7. Essay on the day and night scenery of Chaozhou

My hometown, Chaozhou, is a famous cultural city with a long history. It has beautiful mountains and rivers, outstanding people, and is dotted with places of interest and historical sites. It is known as "Zoulu on the seaside" and "a famous country with mountains and seas".

Speaking of my hometown, people will naturally think of the eight sceneries of Chaozhou: Xiangqiao Spring Rise·Han Temple Oak·Phoenix Rain·Dragon Boat Pagoda·Crocodile in Autumn Wind·Jinshan Ancient Pine·Beige Buddhist Lantern·West Lake Fish raft. But what I want to introduce today is the riverside promenade known as the "Nine Views", which is very picturesque. The riverside promenade is made of blue bricks. The city wall has "saw teeth" more than one meter high, and there are tall and magnificent towers. Stepping on the square bricks under your feet and holding on to the stones on the wall, you feel like you are in the majestic Great Wall. As night falls, the riverside promenade is brightly lit, reflecting in the river like a ball of fire, stars, or nebulae. One lamp connects to another, and light connects to light, like a colorful network of light. The stars in the sky blink, as if to say: "How beautiful!" You see, even the stars are ashamed. Can you imagine how beautiful it is?

My hometown not only has a beautiful environment, but also has a long history and culture.

Chaozhou embroidery is magnificent, colorful and skillfully crafted; Chaozhou ceramics are even more famous, with the reputation of being "as white as jade, as thin as paper, as thin as silk, as bright as a mirror, and as sound as a scent"; Chaozhou side dishes are delicious; Chaozhou Kung Fu tea is famous for its "beautiful shape, green color, rich aroma and sweet taste".

Chaozhou, my hometown, do you know? Even with the literary works of Li Bai and Du Fu, it is difficult to describe my love for you; even with the exquisite paintings of Qi Baishi, it is impossible to describe your graceful and graceful metaphor; even with Beethoven's musical composition, it is impossible to play you. The melody that stirs in my heart.

Chaozhou, I love you! 8. What are the traditional buildings in Chaoshan and what are the design concepts?

In De'anli, Hongyang, Puning, in Chaoyang on the Shenzhen-Shantou Expressway, you can see some villages beside the road, with neat rows of distinctive houses. The arrangement is quite impressive.

There are many villages here, all of which are quite large in scale, and the houses are connected in a neat and orderly manner.

Some of these houses have a history of decades to a century, and some were built after liberation and reform and opening up. Most of them maintain the traditional style of Chaoshan houses. Therefore, the architectural characteristics of Chaoyang folk houses are actually the traditional style of Chaoshan folk houses.

The traditional houses in Chaoshan are bungalows. In order to find the commanding heights for shooting, we chose abandoned watchtowers, which are often the highest places in the village. Before liberation, these villages often built watchtowers to defend themselves against bandits and thieves.

But most of them have been abandoned or collapsed. In some cases, the outer frame still exists, and the inner stairs and even floor slabs are gone, making it impossible to climb.

Traditionally, there are three types of folk houses in Chaoshan: "Four Points of Gold", "Si Ma Trailer" and "Xiashan Tiger". "SiDianJin" is generally the residence of the rich, and its style is similar to the courtyard house in Beijing. According to legend, it is also imitated from the courtyard house. "SiDianJin" is larger in scale than "SiDianJin" and is often owned by the rich.

The well-preserved "Si Ma Trailer" in Chaoshan area is the former residence of Chen Cihong in Chenghai, known as "the first overseas Chinese residence in southern Guangdong".

The houses of ordinary people in Chaoshan rural areas are of the "downhill tiger" style. "Going down the mountain tiger" can also be called "running lion". It is the most common traditional residential building form in Chaoshan area and is also the basis of other residential buildings. It adopts a central axis layout with only one living room and two rooms. The entrance leads to the patio, and the patio directly leads to the central hall. There is a large room on both sides of the central hall, and on both sides of the courtyard there are small rooms commonly known as "stretching hands" connected to the large room. The plan of the entire structure is similar to the three-sided courtyard in northern folk houses. The roof of the downhill tiger is a hard top, which is higher in the back and lower in the front. The shape is described as a tiger descending from the mountain, so it is called "downhill tiger". This design is both ventilated and convenient for drainage, and is designed to adapt to the hot and rainy climate in the Chaoshan area. The residential houses photographed here are in this "tiger descending the mountain" format.

9. The Myth of Podocarpus

Due to its quaint tree shape and unique combination of seeds and stems, Podocarpus is endearing

It is often planted in temples and houses in the south. It can be planted in front of the door, alone in the atrium, or in a corner of the wall to match the rockery or lake stones. The variegated podocarpus can be planted as a flower bed, or placed in a flower bed or potted for indoor viewing. Small-leaf Podocarpus can also be planted as a garden hedge.

Mysterious Theory

1. There is a Podocarpus pine on the campus of Shiqiutou Village Primary School, Tiepu Town, Chaoan County, which is loved by the villagers. Several times in history, construction plans were changed to protect the Podocarpus. Buyers of flowers and trees came to the site many times with the promise of paying huge sums of money to buy the Podocarpus, but were eventually turned away. Mentioning this unassuming podocarpus, the old people in the village said it was their "treasure of the town". This Podocarpus tree is about 6 meters high, with a small crown. From a distance, it looks like a banana fan sticking out of the roof. The appearance of the tree is a bit unique. It is bent to one side. The outer bark of the tree is severely peeled off and there are traces of termite infestation. Fortunately, the leaves are still green and thick. Podocarpus

Chen Binghao, a 76-year-old school janitor, said that the village genealogy records that this Podocarpus was transplanted from Kaiyuan Temple in 1851, 154 years ago. At that time, in order to encourage students to study diligently and become talented, the school got this tree with the help of a monk from Kaiyuan Temple. It used to be called the auspicious tree, which meant that the students would be good and the school would be better and better. In fact, the reason why this Podocarpus tree is regarded as a village treasure is not only because of its age and nice name, but more importantly, since the Podocarpus tree was planted, both the old school and the later school have been filled with talents. Make the locals proud. According to Chen Senlan, a 74-year-old retired principal, after this tree was planted in the first year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, 30 people in the village passed the examination in ten subjects. During the Republic of China, more than 50 college students were born, including those who entered the Naval Academy and the Whampoa Military Academy. There is also Tsinghua University in Beijing; after liberation, more than 360 people in Shiqiutou Village, with a population of 2,000 to 3,000, were admitted to university. The old man said that although the theory that tree planting was related to the prosperity of the imperial examination is not credible, it is true that since the podocarpus was planted, the village has become more culturally and religiously oriented. This may be the original intention of the ancestors to plant trees. 2. To the west of Lujiazhou Village, less than 500 meters away from the village, is the ancient water transport wharf. There are ancient camphor trees on the wharf and several acres of green shade. In the midst of it stands a tall and vigorous Podocarpus pine with lush branches. According to an investigation by gardening scholars, the tree is 28 meters tall, 5.20 meters in diameter, and over 1,500 years old. Legend has it that when the founder of Lujiazhou built the village, he split the branches and leaves of Podocarpus and found a thick reddish blood-like slurry flowing out from the wound. He thought that the tree had blood like human beings, and regarded it as a fairy tree in the world. It is so awe-inspiring that it is called the "Old Sacred Tree". The descendants of the Lu family in the past generations have taken great care of the old sacred tree and respected it like a god. According to legend, the "old sacred tree" is protected by a sacred snake. The sacred snake is as thick as the mouth of a bowl and more than a foot long. It has a fiery red "cockscomb" on its head. Whenever it is windy, rainy, lightning and thunder, the sacred snake will surround it. The podocarps dance in the air to protect them from being hurt by lightning. Two elderly people in their 70s in the village claimed that they had seen the sacred snake with their own eyes. The difference is that one of the old men was seriously ill for three years, while the other had a son in old age. They themselves said that this is because everyone's "flame" is different, and misfortune and fortune are unpredictable.
