Tourism resources in Banzai town

Mr. Lin Yutang, a master of modern literature, was born in Banzai Town, Pinghe in June, 65438 +08951October +654381October. He spent a wonderful childhood here, which is a place where Mr. Lin Yutang "dreamed" all his life. Today, it attracts a large number of people from domestic and foreign cultural circles and mass media to visit. It is believed that Lin Yutang's former residence and the soon-to-be-built Lin Yutang Library will become hot spots to promote cultural exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and between China and the West, and will also become a major resort for peaceful tourism.

On the way from Pinghe County to Tong Ling Scenic Area, you must pass through Banzai Town, the hometown of bananas in China. Banzai Town is famous for its rich bananas. At the same time, it is also the birthplace of Lin Yutang, a famous modern writer, which attracts many Chinese and foreign tourists to visit here. Lin Yutang's former residence is in the campus of Banzai Central Primary School. The original site of the campus is Sakamoto Chapel. Lin Zhicheng, the first pastor of the church, was Lin Yutang's father. The chapel was originally a garden-like building. There is a chapel for freshmen and freshmen in the park, as well as ancillary buildings such as Bible Building and Deacon Room. The houses are connected, and the winding path leads to a secluded place, which not only has the characteristics of western architecture, but also has the beauty of China gardens. The chapel has been in disrepair for a long time, but Lin Yutang's birthplace is still well preserved.

This is a small bungalow of the same shape. The bungalows are connected to each other, one floor at a time, and only one in the right corner has a building. It is said that Lin Yutang was born in that building, which is 1895 10 10. In the middle of the house with the same shape, there is a well, which happens to be the word "mouth" in the word "same". The original cobblestone walls and slate wells were changed into pumping wells. There is a "Siyuan Drinking Water" monument beside the well, which was erected by Banzai Town People's Government in memory of Mr. Lin Yutang.

This "Tong"-shaped bungalow has now been transformed into Mr. Lin Yutang's memorial room, which displays many photos and materials about Mr. Lin, which is very precious and visitors can feast their eyes on it.

Mr. Lin Yutang is a famous modern writer, scholar and translator. He wrote a lot in his life. He has published more than 30 works, including Clouds in Beijing, My Country and My People, Collected Works of Yutang, I See and Smell, Enlightened English Reader, Newly Opened Yutang English Reader, Red Peony and Lai, etc. Sakamoto is the place where Lin Yutang has been haunted all his life. On the other hand, Kloc-0 once said in Autobiography of Eighty, "If I have some sound ideas and simple thoughts, it is entirely due to the beautiful mountains of Banzai in southern Fujian, because I believe that I still look at life with the eyes of a simple peasant disciple." At the foot of Xiashanbian Village in the south of Banzi, there is a lush group of banyan trees, like a dragon, climbing up the mountain, covering an area of about 30 mu. The towering banyan trees are flourishing, and the thick trunk needs four or five people to hold together. The huge canopy is enough for more than 50 people to enjoy the cool. This is a rare group of banyan trees connected by more than a dozen big banyan trees. The whole group of banyan trees is about 20 meters high, with various branches and roots bursting and tangled, and dense branches and leaves at the top of the tree, which is very spectacular.

According to the old people in the village, this ancient banyan tree group has a history of more than 500 years and is closely related to a famous figure of Li Zhifu Ping, the leader of the peasant uprising army at the end of Yuan Dynasty. Li Zhifu, also known as Li Sheng, was born in Pinghe Banzai Puwei farmhouse. He lived in the Yuan Dynasty for three years. Because the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty despised the Han nationality and suppressed it politically, the people lived in poverty. In June of the same year, Li Zhifu led the people to rise up. The insurgents first planted banyan trees in the foothills of this area, and then went to Jiuya Mountain to offer flags and declare a formal uprising. The insurgents fought out of Nansheng County. The insurgents were on a roll all the way, attacking Zhangzhou City and killing Zhang Shiyan, the governor of Zhangzhou. The imperial court was extremely shocked, urged the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River not to spend money, and led the troops to suppress the three provinces. Biehua, an old and cunning general, used Chen Junyong, who was familiar with the local situation, and organized local armed forces to attack the insurgents together. In six years, Li Zhifu was arrested in Wuni Cave in Zengling, Gaokeng, and was later killed by Yuan Army. Three years later, the magnificent peasant uprising was finally brutally suppressed, but the banyan trees they planted in that year have become a ball and a forest, forming a beautiful landscape of Greentown.

Minnan people respect the nature of banyan trees and regard banyan trees as "the king of trees". They think banyan trees are the most aura, emotional and can provide shade for villagers. "Ronggong" and "success" are homophonic, so there is a banyan uprising. Minnan people regard banyan trees as sacred trees and gods, and often burn incense and make wishes under the trees; Children are difficult to raise, college entrance examination, praying for children, proposing marriage ... all bow down to the ancient banyan tree and hang red cloth strips; On holidays, people drink banyan water to live longer. Spray the room with banyan water to ward off evil spirits. ...

Walking into this ancient banyan tree group, you will be amazed at the depth of vegetation and lush grass on the ground, and even more amazed at their branches, intertwined and tall as a mansion. Among them, the three big banyan trees nicknamed dragon, elephant and tiger by local people are particularly amazing. There are many scenic spots in Banzai Town, and Xintiangong is one of them. Xintiangong is an Amin dynasty building at the foot of Elephant Trunk Mountain in Xintian Village. It was rebuilt in the first year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1796), and then it was repeatedly destroyed and repaired, with 1984 being the most complete restoration. The palace has two rooms, and the main hall is three rooms wide. Xintiangong has a total construction area of 350 square meters. Baosheng the Great was called "Avenue Duke" by the people. Wu (March 979 15) was born in a village between the Qing religion and the Bai religion in Longxi, Xingguo County. His real name is Wu, and he begged with his father for a living since childhood. Later, because his parents were ill and had no money to buy medicine, they died one after another, so they decided to study medicine to save the world. After finishing his studies, he traveled around the rivers and lakes, treating diseases for the world, exorcising evil spirits, saving the world and saving people without taking a penny. In the first year of Song Jingyu (A.D. 1034), the plague ravaged southern Fujian, and the people in the epidemic area died, and the fields were barren and the scene was terrible. He and his disciples ran around. Putting out the plague saved many lives. Because he is not only a doctor with high medical ethics and superb medical skills, but also a Taoist with profound Taoism, he is called Wu Zhenren. After Wu Zhenren's death, he was honored as a responsive god who exorcised evil spirits and cured diseases. Temples dedicated to Emperor Baosheng are all over Fujian and Taiwan Province Province.

Sakamoto Xintiangong is the mother palace of Yuanbao Palace in Taichung City, Taiwan Province Province. 1988 In April and November of the lunar calendar, pilgrims from Yuanbao Palace, led by Lai and Lai respectively, made pilgrimages to the new Tiangong, attended the ceremony of building the new Tiangong, and donated money to build the new Tiangong stage. Banzai, also known as "Copper Pot", has a "Copper Pot Palace" near Banzai Town, which is the local Lin ancestral hall. The bronze pot palace is dedicated to the statue of Zhao Gongming among the gods. On the way to the township, there used to be a "Sakanan". At the entrance of the temple, there is a wooden tablet inscribed by Jinshi He in the fifth year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. He is the uncle of the descendants of the owner of the south building of the provincial cultural relics protection unit. It is not clear whether Banzi was nicknamed "Copper Pot" because of the "Copper Pot Palace" or was nicknamed "Copper Pot" before the completion of the "Copper Pot Palace".
