Introduction of One-day Tour of Kanto Folk Culture Park in Caiyuan

Caiyuandong Folk Culture Park is a folk amusement park with the theme of "Going to the East". The infrastructure here is still very rich, and there are many entertainment projects. Northeast specialty is commendable. Here, I would like to share with you the detailed travel strategy of Caiyuandong Folk Culture Park.

On the morning of April 29th, 218,

Braving the journey to the Guandong-the eternal homesickness of Northeast people

One day in late April, Mr. Fan, Secretary General of dehui city Local Culture Research Association, sent me an invitation. The seminar will go to Caiyuanzi Town, dehui city on the 29th of this month to collect old objects, and will also hold the annual meeting of the seminar. As a lover of humanities and history, old objects and buildings have been my fields of great interest for many years (dare not say research). It happened to be a holiday, and I readily agreed to accompany me.

April 29th was a sunny day. At about 8: 3 in the morning, 17 of us happily drove to Dapaoxiu Village, Caiyuanzi Town. Along the way, I had a very speculative chat with President Dehui No.1 Middle School, Mr. Wang, a famous cultural scholar in dehui city, Yang, a famous peasant poet in dehui city, and Brother Driver, and talked about local culture and other human and historical issues, but also ignored the fatigue along the way.

After getting off the expressway, I drove straight to Caiyuanzi Town, which is known as "the hometown of tomatoes in Jilin". According to Brother Ren, "The name of' Garden' originated from the time of Guangxu, when a family named Ding opened a garden here to grow vegetables, and it was called' Ding Family Garden'. After the completion of the Middle East Railway, a station was set up here, which was named after Dingjia Vegetable Garden (now Yaojia Station). "

Talking about the culture, history, local conditions and customs related to the vegetable garden, the driver's eldest brother actually talked about it, and I realized that this eldest brother is definitely not a loafer. Later, I learned that the driver was the owner of our destination. The director of the first Kanto local cultural park in dehui city, which mainly collects old objects, is Xiao He's eldest brother.

out of Caiyuanzi town, we went south along the newly-built cement road, and gradually, we drove into the farming area dominated by rice fields. New rice fields and long ditches can be seen everywhere. I think if it is June and July, it must be an intoxicating sight of wind and grass and wide rice waves.

Dapaoxiu Village is located on the south bank of Songhua River. On the cement road next to the village, the long Songhua River Dam is faintly visible. After less than an hour's drive, our SUV stopped in a spacious courtyard facing south in the village.

at the beginning of getting off the bus, a barn without doors and external walls on the east side of the yard first attracted everyone's attention, and many familiar old objects first came into view here.

There's no time to get excited. Let's go outside the courtyard and have a look at the gate about the eastern characteristics.

the gate is decorated with pine bark. As the cultural park is newly established, there is no plaque on the gate, but a piece of red silk cloth is temporarily put on, with the words "Braving the Guandong Folk Culture Park" printed on it. On the west side of the yard, an old pulley and a wicker jar made of pure wicker are waiting for us to visit.

Pulley and wicker pot

Driven by interests, people have already opened the iron fence and entered the barn. The objects in the warehouse are mainly old farm tools, with limited space and many objects. Therefore, the floor, walls and even the roof have been fully utilized, thus making the warehouse a three-dimensional exhibition hall.

all kinds of farm tools are available for farming, harvesting, transportation and storage. We were in it and began to have interesting zero-distance contact with these farm tools that were closely related to our farming life in the past.

among the three warehouses that are not very spacious, the most eye-catching one is a suspended Hua Lun carriage on the south side.

wheeled vehicle is an ancient vehicle type. Wheels are mostly made of solid birch or oak. Eighteen spokes with arm thickness are evenly distributed on the hub and radially connected to the hub rim (wooden wheel). Iron sheets are installed on the outside of the rim, and many "mushroom nails" slightly larger than copper coins can be seen on the outside of the wheel.

The axle is also made of wood, and the bowl is thick, so you need lubricating oil (called engine oil) for driving. Seeing this car, I can't help thinking that the number of wooden wheelbarrows in the pre-Qin period was an important yardstick to measure a country's military strength.

"the country of thousands of riders" was synonymous with a powerful country at that time. I am reminded of the allusion of "Che 'anpu Wheel" (a carriage with fragrant leaves wrapped around the wheels, which can reduce the bumps). In this way, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty recruited Mei Cheng and other elderly social sages. Although his thirst for talents is quite commendable, after all, Meicheng is old, and this primitive shock absorption has not given him any comfort in the car. He died before he arrived in Chang 'an.

Lu Hua Road Car

On one side of the boat, Qian Fan race; At the head of the sick tree, every year is a spring shower. Although Hua Lun car embodies the craftsman spirit of China's great ancient country, and it is the high condensation of the collective wisdom and hard work of working people for thousands of years, it is backward productivity compared with later rubber-tyred cars.

interestingly, Xiao and Big Brother, the person in charge of the park, plan to put a trolley with rubber wheels side by side with it. The sharp contrast between the old and new modes of production is the handover and inheritance of man's ability to conquer nature, and the trajectory and inevitable trend of social progress and development are obvious to people at a glance.

On the north side of the wheeled cart, an old-fashioned unicycle has also aroused great interest. Different from today's common unicycle, its body, including wheels, is made of wood, and years of dust have already made it lose its proud luster.

The wooden unicycle was an important symbol of "breaking through the East" more than 1 years ago. Anyone who knows a little about the local history of Northeast China knows that Northeast China was originally the hometown of Manchu and other nomadic peoples. During the Shunzhi period in the early Qing Dynasty, wicker borders were built to protect the Manchu's "land of Longxing".

however, in order to make a living, people have been breaking the ban and going to Kanto to make a living.

Many villages in the northeast of China were founded by the Han people in Guanli who came to Kanto thousands of miles away during the Qianlong and Jiaqing years. Most of them are affected farmers in Hebei and Shandong provinces. Because of their poverty, they often use this wheelbarrow to carry all their belongings, bring their wives and belts, and embark on the journey of "crossing the Kanto" with their own desires.

after they came to the land of kanto, they used a pair of hard-working hands to reclaim land and occupy grassland, from living in a stable to a shack to a comfortable house, from poverty and hardship to prosperity and stability, and sprinkled their enthusiasm and sweat on this hot land of kanto, writing a magnificent and tragic history of northeast immigration.

posterity, we can live a comfortable life today, and we should always be awed and grateful when we think of our ancestors.

There are well-preserved plowshares, chaff-removing windmills, grain storage sheds, grain measuring buckets, saddle stirrups, old-fashioned seeders, waterwheels, spinning wheels, grain pulling knives and so on in the warehouse.

In the next room, the daily necessities of the old farmer are displayed. Whether it's sewing thread boards and sock soles, or pancakes, large and small copper pots, exquisite kang tables, leather sandals, straw hats, pipe sticks, fake stools, bamboo tubes, etc. All the old objects closely related to people's food, clothing, housing and transportation are on display.

Old bellows, abandoned braziers, lighting lamps, old clocks and watches, etc. have aroused people's keen interest.

When I was in the exhibition hall dedicated to carpenter's tools, I saw a series of genealogy books about the Haiyang Stone Man family. Through talking with Ren, I learned that Ren was originally from Haiyang County, dengzhou city, Shandong Province, and his ancestral home was Rongcheng, a neighboring county, which further narrowed the distance between us two people who love local culture.

We share the same ancestral home, the same homesickness, and the same strong sense of family, so that two strangers, who should not know each other even if they meet in the vast sea of people, begin to meet on this sunny spring day.

I was deeply touched by the dusty old objects in the humble exhibition hall.

In the long history, they were the masters of our economic and cultural life, and they were injected with incomparable charm.

Now, they are almost forgotten, and they have no choice but to sleep quietly here and look forward to the new call of some power. I know that as long as our homesickness is still there, today we will reactivate them with some kind of local complex.

After the visit, I walked around the village by myself, and from east to west, I visited several remaining thatched cottages, crossed a long aqueduct, crossed a tall haystack, crossed a white greenhouse for cultivating rice seedlings, and unconsciously reached the westernmost part of the village.

when you look around, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and everything is silent. In the distance, an agricultural tractor is turning the ground in an orderly way. A southwest wind came slowly. This is a warm spring.
