Where is Fengdu Ancient Village located?
Zhang Junzheng, the ancestor of Zhang's Lingnan, came to Shaozhou from Fanyang, Hebei Province, and moved to Qujiang, Shaoguan with his family. The second generation of Zhang Zi's official county order of Yuezhou County (Shaoxing County, Zhejiang Province). Zhang Hongyu, the third generation official of Suolu County (Qujiang County, which was changed to Suolu County when Wang Mang was restructured), set up land in Qinghua Township and Pingpu Post in Shixing County at that time, and buried his father Zhang Zishan in Pingpu Mountain in Qinghua Township, and his mother in Renhua River Estuary at the intersection of Zhenjiang and Jinjiang. Later, descendants sent schools and became the breeding places of Shaoguan, Qujiang, Shixing, Renhua and Lingnan Zhang. Kaoqinghua Township and Pingpu Post belonged to Shixing County and Qujiang County in ancient times, and Pingpu, the core area, is in Fengdu Village, Zhoutian Town, Renhua County today (called Fengdu Township before the founding of the People's Republic of China). At present, there are still 96 well-preserved ancient houses in Ming and Qing Dynasties, with an area of about 8,5 square meters, 5 ancient ancestral halls, gatehouses, Gu Xiang, plaques, couplets, cultural relics and historical sites, etc., showing that the "nine-year-old culture" has a deep-rooted historical origin in this ancient village.
Zhang Jiuling was a famous figure in the Kaiyuan generation of Tang Dynasty. He was honest and honest and frank, fearless of evil, diligent in serving the people and benefiting Li Shu all his life, and a generation of virtuous ministers with both ability and political integrity. Is a visionary and innovative politician; He is a generation of masters who are elegant in poetry and open up the style of Lingnan poetry. His eternal fame and demeanor, "The Golden Mirror of a Thousand Years", the strategic planning of the ancient Meiguan Road, and famous poems and sentences such as "the moon, grown full now over the sea, Tianya * * * at this time" have always been admired and praised by Chinese descendants. One kilometer southeast of Fengdu Village, there is a Pingpu Mountain, and Ziyi Cemetery lies leisurely in the nest. The mountain behind the tomb is like a backrest, and the left and right mountain beams are like handrails, sitting in the southeast like a plush chair, facing northwest, overlooking Fengdu Village in Woye Pingchuan: Zhenjiang River is from north to south, Lingxi River is from west to east, surrounded by bamboo rafts and clear waves; Across the Danya Cliff in Chibi, shaoshi mountain, Zhenjiang, the peaks of Danxia Mountain in the northwest are green, and the pastoral scenery of mountains and rivers is relatively beneficial to the tomb of "Fengdu Shaoxing" and the Feng Shui of Fengdu Ancient Village. The Zhang family's careful selection and operation of geomantic omen of farming culture shows profound cultural connotation.
the gate of fengdu village is the "fengdu liufang" gatehouse, which is the only existing ancient fengdu building in northern Guangdong after the destruction of the old fengdu building in Shaoguan city. The word "elegant demeanor" comes from Li Longji's affirmation and admiration of the famous Zhang Jiuling in the Tang Dynasty, and even when employing people in the future, he will ask: "Is the demeanor like nine years old?" The gatehouse is 8 meters high and 4.5 meters wide, with blue brick walls, smooth and shiny, blue and white tile eaves and upturned beaks; The doors are well-matched, the eaves are finely carved, and the beams and tenons are gorgeous. The whole gatehouse is majestic and simple. Above the lintel, there is a gold plaque with the words "Charming" on a red background, which impressively inherits Zhang Jiuling's famous demeanor. In the early years, around the gatehouse, there was a couplet written by Emperor Tang Ming to Zhang Jiuling: "It's too late to read the official bell at this time; Qujiang's demeanor is as good as his years. " I miss the sadness between the lines.
Not far from the Fengdu Gate House into the village lane, it is the oldest ancestral hall in the village, the eaves wall of the outer gate house is still simple and solemn, and the door plaque Zhi Ding still exists. On the inner wall of the algae well in the front hall of the gate, an ancient plaque "Swallow's Wing and Yimou" came into view, which is the oldest existing cultural relic of "nine-year-old culture" in northern Guangdong. Zhang Jiuling, as a famous figure of Tang Kaiyuan, was loyal to the government, not afraid of power and rape, denounced Li Linfu, and admonished An Lushan, so every time he was slandered and destroyed by treacherous court officials and dignitaries. In order to make his mind clear, he wrote a five-character poem "Yong Yan" with the southern "Haiyan", telling his colleagues: "Although Haiyan is weak, it will come in the spring. I'm afraid the mud is cheap, but the Jade Hall is open. Embroiderers go in twice, and Huaxuan Day comes back several times. There is no intention to compete with things, and eagles don't guess. " Xuan said that he was a petrel from the south, and flew to Beijing in the prosperous Tang Dynasty with warm spring breeze. I don't slack off because of my humble background. As long as the court needs it, I will always work hard and follow the emperor's principles. I'm not in the mood to compete for power and favor with anyone. I'm as vicious as an eagle-friends, don't be suspicious and hurt good people. This poem is Zhang Jiuling's character and demeanor of being an official and acting as a person, and this ancient plaque of Swallow's Wings Makes a Plan in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, to remind Zhang's descendants of the "nine-year-old culture" of being an official and acting as a strategist in Haiyan's wing-spreading poems, as a legacy of self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, dealing with the world and serving the country.
In this ancestral hall of Zhang's family, the tablets of Zhang Jiuling, the Prime Minister of Tang Dynasty, and Mrs. Tan's family are still preserved, which has become a very rare nine-year-old cultural relic. The main tablet of God and the ancient tablet of Swallow's Wing and Yimou should be the first round of cultural relics of the Northern Song Dynasty in ancient temples. At that time, no matter the celebrities were careless, they had to return to their hometown after death. God's card witnessed that the Fengdu Village of Pingpu Post in Qinghua Township at that time was the place where Zhang Jiubin, the fourth son of Zhang Hongyu and the fourth brother of Zhang Jiuling, guarded the ancestral tombs and ancestral shrines, so that the descendants of the son, Zhou Gong, would not forget the birthplace of Zhang who moved to his hometown in the south.
In the other two dilapidated old shrines, there are still plaques such as "Jinshi" and "Wu Kui". One of them, the big plaque of "Xiuba Tianchi", was erected by Zhang Jinyuan, the first supervisor in the village in the 2th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty. It can be seen that the descendants of this ancient demeanor village have been outstanding in officialdom and literary field, inheriting the literary grace and strategic ancestral training of the nine-year-old male.
The largest and most magnificent ancestral hall in Fengdu Village is the ancestral hall of "Jin Jian Liu Fang". According to Zhang Shaowu, a nine-year-old descendant of the village, the ancestral hall was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and rebuilt during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1765), and it has been preserved to this day. The blue bricks on the wall are polished smoothly, the thin mortar lines are regular and uniform, the gate archway is majestic and gorgeous, and the door is well carved. The girder above the lintel is carved with hollowed-out dragon play beads, and the plaque of "Jin Jian Liu Fang" on the red bottom in the middle of the door eaves is graceful and elegant. The original couplets on both sides of the door are written by the twenty-first generation grandson of the nine-year-old male: "Jin Jian Zhen Ming Xian Ze; Qujiang style old home voice. " The pillars and beams of the whole gatehouse are supported from top to bottom, and the tenon carvings are gorgeous and exquisite. The carving patterns of "Lianbu Qingyun" and "Guanlu Riding the Wind" on both sides are vivid and pleasant, which is a fine architectural sculpture of that era with auspicious symbolic significance, and it has also been applied for the prominent position of Zhang Jiuling, the author of A Golden Mirror of a Thousand Years ago, and the legacy of learning from the past. The whole ancestral hall has three wells for two days, with algae wells above the front hall, a hall for fame and fortune in the middle hall, a worship hall in the inner hall, and a shrine dedicated to ancestral tablets and portraits of nine-year-old men. Gorgeous atmosphere, the wings on both sides are extended, and the surrounding residential villages and alleys are old brick houses in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Gables with upturned cornices, tiles with colored glazed tiles, cornice lines decorated with carved flowers, doors and windows made of red rock, quaint furnishings of the hall, small patio flower beds, exquisite stone lion flower stands, precious antiques collection and quiet rural atmosphere make people feel the long history of the ancient village and appreciate the inheritance of a cultural demeanor.
