Composer: You Shoudong Lianghua Town

In June, go to Guantao Shoudong-Lianghua Town!

This small town has no misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is simple and elegant in the north, which can make people touch the hidden worries of history and smell the fragrance in the depths of life.

In this small town, there is no small river flowing, but there is a cleverly built drainage channel around the village street, and the running water can play sweet music.

There is no bare land in this town, but the dilapidated and dangerous houses demolished on the street are full of green fields, which are exquisite and smart.

This small town is not as prosperous as the city, but it has a strong artistic atmosphere, profound historical precipitation and profound cultural charm, and has trained a batch of grain painting artists.

Shoudong Village, Guantao County, a grain painting town, is located in the west of the county, on the south side of National Highway 309, and 3 kilometers away from the county. It used to be an obscure small village and poor village in Pingyuan County, eastern Handan. Without industrial base and resource advantages, it is a provincial poverty-stricken village that has not been lifted out of poverty for many years.

Nowadays, entering this small town in the south of Hebei Province, there are blue brick alleys, criss-crossing twists and turns, small farmhouses, patchwork, farming culture, natural simplicity and strong original ecological atmosphere. Strolling through the streets, the walls of the village are dotted with food paintings of different shapes, each courtyard is filled with different peasant customs, and a faint artistic sentiment jumps in every corner of the street.

Shoudong Village is famous for its "grain painting", commonly known as "grain painting town". Zhang Haizeng, the founder, can make different styles of food paintings with 50 or 60 kinds of food raw materials. Now he has a production team of nearly 100 people. Not far from the village entrance, the reporter saw the grain painting production base under construction, with one-stop production, packaging and experience facilities such as grain painting exhibition hall, processing workshop, grain painting experience hall and grain restaurant. After the project is completed, it will attract more than 200 rural "left-behind women" from the village and surrounding villages to work here, so that farmers can get rich at home.

Near the grain painting production base is the villagers' leisure fitness square, with all kinds of fitness equipment. During the slack season, many villagers will come here to dance square dance and exercise like city people. On the right is the bamboo pool sports ground, surrounded by green bamboo forests, which often becomes the main venue for basketball games.

In the villagers' leisure fitness square, a display board is particularly eye-catching. The reporter saw that the exhibition board showed the "old and new" comparison map before and after the construction of Shoudong Village. After reading it, everyone will be surprised by the gorgeous butterfly change in this nameless town.

Before the new rural construction, Shoudong Village was broken and dirty, with sewage flowing all over the street and mosquitoes flying everywhere. Now clean and tidy, roads have become cement roads, garbage transfer stations have been established, domestic sewage treatment projects have been built, and farmers have used new toilets.

On the west side of the square is a newly-built standardized kindergarten in the village, with a garden-like environment, spacious and bright activity venues, comfortable and warm bedrooms and sanitary and safe kitchen and bathroom facilities, which can radiate the needs of children in the village and surrounding villages to start nursery nearby.

Although the villagers here live a rural life, they enjoy the quality of the city. Isn't it pleasant?

Into the depths of the town, every alley in the village has a street sign. For example, colorful carpets, Xiangyang Hutong planted with gourds, and Reed Hutong covered with five grain paintings. In order to create a unique grain painting town,

The village is designed and afforested in accordance with the concept of "unified style and distinctive features" and "each street has its own features and each road has its own landscape", and every detail shows a certain cultural theme.

Look at the ancient well in that village. It is said that it has a history of 100 years. Although the well is not deep, there is inexhaustible clear water. It is this old well that has nurtured several generations of Shoudong people. The old well water is sweet and refreshing, and the tofu made is soft and delicious, which is deeply loved by the people of Li Sanhe and Wuxiang. However, today's old wells have gradually weathered and dried up in a hundred years of tempering. Look at the mottled moss on the shaft wall, telling the story of the old well, and time flies.

Look at this century-old adobe house, which was built at the beginning of last century. It experienced the flood of 1963, all the ups and downs, and the vicissitudes of the world. This exquisite craft, Windows with pins and heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable Heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable heatable.

Zhang Furen, who has been the secretary of the Party branch of Shoudong Village in 15, led two village committees and villagers with homesickness and made Shoudong Village into a beautiful boutique bit by bit.

Maybe homesickness is sadness and warmth. There are their feelings for the countryside, and there is a trace of warmth that cannot be erased.

"Let the countryside blend into nature, let residents see the mountains, see the water, and remember to live in homesickness." This poetic discourse touched the deep feelings of every visitor who came to Shoudong Village.

Sitting in a small town cafe, lighting red candles, playing elegant and soothing background music, feeling the feelings of time passing and hard to find traces. In this idyllic world, there can be such a quiet place with fragrant coffee that you can enjoy your love dream to the fullest.

It is this unusual town that attracts tourists from all over the world. Even Americans and Canadians are willing to come to Shoudong to promote Shoudong. When the reporter interviewed them, they were starring in a film "The Girl with Stripes" shot by Shoudong Village Film Studio.

Zhang Furen told reporters that Shoudong Village, in line with the principle of keeping the overall framework and overall external features of the village unchanged as far as possible, did not demolish or build large buildings, and upgraded the interior of the house, and completed the construction of infrastructure such as roads, drainage, greening, reception center, cultural square, garbage disposal and sewage treatment in the village.

According to the new rural construction plan, Shoudong Village has carried out the overall planning and design of street view pavement, featuring "one door, one scene, one household, one product, embodying spirituality and each with its own characteristics", and has carried out the single planning and design of all residential courtyards in the village, with vivid experience halls, low red brick buildings, neat alleys and street lamps lined up in a row, emitting a faint light.

Now, Shoudong Village has become a special tourist attraction with the theme of grain painting, which integrates creation, appreciation, performance, experience, residence, catering and shopping.

At the end of 20 14, there were two more plaques in the office of Shoudong Village Committee: "The Fourth National Civilized Village" and "beautiful countryside, Hebei Province".

This year, Guantao County started to build 30 beautiful countryside with "the style of countryside and the quality of city", including 3 provincial key villages/kloc-0 and 7 county key villages/kloc-0. Focus on building Zhaizhuang in Cucumber Town, Tianhe in Queqiao Town, Guoxinzhuang in Miscellaneous Grains Town, Malan Factory in Bearing Town and other towns with their own characteristics and tastes.

Nowadays, beautiful countryside like Shoudong Village is booming like mushrooms after rain.
