Tongzicuo of Tongan Lotus

At the beginning of the year, Tongan Tourism Bureau organized a trip to Tongan Village in Xiamen. Fortunately, I was involved. I am very excited to come to the ancient style group with the same character as the core in Lianhua Village, Lianhua Town. I stopped for almost an hour, and I was thinking, I should take a look at this place by myself. This time, on the weekend, I came by myself.

At the entrance of the village, it says, "Look at the mountains, look at the water, and remember to be homesick!" This is the best interpretation of the rural tourism experience.

? Bricks lined up in a row entered the ancient buildings in southern Fujian, and there were five big falls. It is the most magnificent of its kind and was built in the early 1930s. Located at the southern foot of a hill in Qiang Bing Village, Lianhua Town, Tongan District, Xiamen, it is backed by Lianhua Mountain and surrounded by Daqi Mountain on the right. Lotus stream passes through the southeast, and the environment is quite livable. The word "Tong" is a mixed structure of brick, wood and stone. In front of the main house, there is a golden ridge on the hard mountain roof, with five rooms 19.3m wide and three rooms 13m deep. Behind it is a two-story building with a golden roof on the top of the hard mountain tile. The width of nine rooms is 32.7m, and the depth of one room (corridor) is 6.6m (corridor is 2.05m). The front and back are connected into a patio, and the corridor buildings on the first and second floors are arranged from the middle of the patio to the back. The second floor building is a rolled roof with a width of15.95m, a depth of 3.2m and a total height of 6.5m. It is a place where people enjoy tea and enjoy the moon. Dragon guard rings on both sides of the main building are connected to form a closed space. The guard room on the right is a two-story building with a bungalow in front. There are gun holes in important places in the whole house, which is a building with integrated home and defense.

Ye Dingguo, the owner of the same personality, is a man with a story. In the early years of the Republic of China, the situation was chaotic. Ye Dingguo rose from tie rod to local armed forces in the name of self-defense village. Since then, he has been rampant in the countryside, and later he was incorporated into the army, transformed from a bandit to an official, and became a battalion commander of the Jingguojun army in southern Fujian. From 19 17 to 1926, Ye Dingguo struggled to survive among warlords and the National Revolutionary Army. He has served as the head of Fujian Self-Defense Force, Guangdong Army Commander and National Revolutionary Army Commander. Later, because the longitudinal army disturbed the people, the military discipline was extremely bad. He was surrounded by marines of the National Revolutionary Army and disarmed. Ye Dingguo led the rest of the troops to break through and leave. I didn't expect to be ambushed by militia on the way, and there were not many soldiers left, so I had to retreat behind Tongan. However, Ye Dingguo was not willing to fail. He built a private gun factory in Lianhua Mountain and made a "local Hanyang gun" (which is also amazing! ), smuggling guns, recruiting everywhere, and soon making a comeback. During this period, Ye Dingguo plundered a lot of wealth. In the late 1920s, the slightly stable political situation gave Ye Dingguo time, and he began to build Jiaomen Ancestral Hall and Ye's Ancestral Hall with people. In the early 1930s, he began to create the word "Tong".

Not far from Tung Tzu's fault is Anzi Cuo, the former residence of Ye Dingguo's cousin Ye Ding Sheng, who was then the head of the First Independent Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army. 1In June 1940, Mr. Chen Jiageng founded Jimei Middle School Tongan Branch.1In September 1952, it was renamed Tongan No.1 Middle School, which was the predecessor of Tongan No.1 Middle School.

There is a Buddhist temple at the foot of the mountain more than 500 meters east of the village. It was originally a private fasting hall built by Ye Dingguo for his wife Shao Shuyuan to recite scriptures. During the Republic of China, it was a thriving female jungle in Xiamen. Now there is a new Buddhist temple building next to the Buddha Heart Temple, and the project is still in progress.

In the publicity column at the entrance of the village, we can see that the local government is planning and constructing projects such as "Lianhuaxi Small Watershed Comprehensive Management Plan" and "One Stream Dual-core Sixteen-node Planning Map". I look forward to local efforts to present a better rural tourism environment for everyone. With the opening of Quansan Expressway and Lotus Hub, the journey from Xiamen Island to Lotus can be controlled within 60 minutes.
