Mazha village scenic spot
There is an inscription on the back of the gate of Huang Ancestral Hall: "My ancestors Yan and Yu Zangong devoted themselves to farming enjoyment because of the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty. Fu started here, and it has been ten years since agriculture. Children and grandchildren cherish the profound and far-reaching merits of their ancestors, so they built a shrine to worship when Ren Xusui was old, so they paid homage to the newspaper and made Zhao Muyun. Generations of grandchildren respect each other. "
The Story of Building a Temple tells the story that Yan and Yu Zangong, ancestors of Mazha Huang family, moved to the south foot of Bitian Mountain in Huilai County to make a living by farming and become self-sufficient in the late Ming Dynasty. Later, Sun Fuyuan, whose ancestral home was in Hong Kong, moved to Magongzha, where he settled and founded Huang's foundation, becoming the founder of Huang's family in Magongzha. Fuyuan official farmer, in the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1862) (Pai XII), built the Huang Ancestral Hall, that is, "Chongbao Hall", to remember the merits of his ancestors.
From Yan's escape from chaos in Bitian Township, Fuyuan founded Huang's family in Mazha, which has been passed down to the twelfth generation. During the more than 200 years from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (1644) to adulthood (1862, the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty), Mazha Huang followed the historical trend, from avoiding chaos to laying the foundation stone. Our ancestors went through hardships, from turmoil to stability, to recuperate. Although the time is not very long, recalling this history today can better inspire future generations to pursue the future cautiously and with inspiration.
There is a legend in Huang's ancestral temple: there is a pamphlet and a pole on the top of the temple. The pamphlet is the suicide note of the first country, and there is a memorial date in the book: "I gave birth to three sons, and the moth gave birth to one son." The four ancestors in the book are the fifth generation handed down by Fu. This ancestral hall of the Huang family was built by a national public school, so the descendants of the ancestral hall called it "the whole country". According to statistics in 2008, there were 5,886 descendants (excluding overseas).
With the changes of the times, the ancestral temple has also experienced the baptism of wind and rain. In the early 1950s (after the land reform), the ancestral hall was distributed to three villagers. Since then, the ancestral hall has changed from public houses to private houses. In the 1970s, due to the careless accumulation of firewood, the ancestral hall was returned by Lu, even severely damaged, and became a ruin.
After the reform and opening up, the rural economy has developed, and the descendants of the Huang family cherish their ancestors and discuss the restoration of the ancestral temple. After many efforts, we planned to raise funds, redeem the ancestral temple property rights, set up the ancestral temple reconstruction Council, and sent a letter of donation and reconstruction to our grandchildren, which received enthusiastic response from our grandchildren. So we chose the auspicious day of the second day of March in the fifth year of the lunar calendar (2008) to start construction. According to the original pattern of the temple, the old buildings have been restored as before. After more than ten months' efforts, they finally regained their glory on February 20, 2008/kloc-0, and everyone was happy and realized their long-cherished wish.
At present, ancestral tablets are enshrined in public shrines. The first ancestor was Fu, and the second one was arranged in the order of two to five biographies of Fu. Several niches are beautifully made, and there are incense tables in front of them, which are solemn and solemn. Painting clay gold on the beam, lion supporting phoenix, lifelike; Carved flower baskets look good; The main hall is covered with eyebrows, finely carved, and exotic flowers and grasses; On the roof, the wings of the phoenix-tailed finch are inlaid with porcelain birds and beasts, which shine brightly; The colorful paintings on the wall are lifelike and can be called fine works. On the zhaobi, stone carvings and gold-painted unicorns add momentum to the ancestral hall. According to the research of Guishan cultural site, there were people's livelihood activities in Mazha village in the late Shang Dynasty. According to legend, the earliest people living here were Lin and Guo, named Xintianliao. After Huang, Luo, Feng, Dai and other surnames came to live here one after another, but with the gradual growth of population, Lin moved to other places. Most of the land here belongs to Mr. Ma Dade in Chaoyang, and most of the residents living here have to rent Ma Dade's cultivated land to make a living. Therefore, most of these foreign residents became tenants and tenants of Ma Dade. At the end of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1862- 1874), Mr. Ma Dade often went to the countryside to collect rent. Because Mr. Ma is charitable and caring, if he encounters natural disasters and the harvest is not good, he will order a rent reduction. Year after year, we get along well, and our feelings with the villagers are getting deeper and deeper, which is deeply loved by the villagers. During this period, Mr. Ma once said to the squire, "The northeast entrance of the village has aura. When I die, I will be buried there. In the eighth year of Guangxu (1882), Mr. Ma Dade died, and his relatives buried him in Shuikou of our village according to his will. Later, the villagers called him "the grave under the iron fence", which means that the grave of the horseman is like an iron fence. Geologists call it "snail star flare", which means: this tomb is like a snail, just blocking the water flow. In geomantic omen, it is emphasized that water is wealth, and snail stars block water, which is to block wealth and form a pattern of gathering wealth. Later, homesickness broke out, farmland was harvested, six animals flourished, and people lived long. To commemorate Mr. Ma Dade, people changed the name of the village to "Ma Gongzha" and built a Master Ma Dade Temple in the village to show their respect. 1950 People's Republic of China (PRC) was renamed Mazha after its establishment.
At the beginning of the establishment of Magongzha Village, the whole village was dry land, and water conservancy problems restricted the population and economic development of the town. In the last years of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1860), villagers Huang Xingfu (commonly known as Sanye) and Huang Mingchun (commonly known as Yu Ye) led the whole village. After seven years of hard work, all interference was finally eliminated. With the approval of the county government at that time, a dam was built at the upper reaches of Nan 'an River in the village (now Gexi Dabei) to divert water into the village. When the vicious water flowed into the tap of Changpu at the edge of the village, the whole village was singing and dancing, and it was full of joy. In ancient times, there was a saying that "water rushes to the three rivers and wealth gathers in the east heart ditch". Since then, the dry land in the village has turned into fertile land, which has played a great role in the development of Mazha economy and population. Judging from the historical development of the village, it is a great leap to build canals and divert water in Mazha Village.
