This is an old branch secretary of Zhengjiazhuang Village, Mr. Chen's hymn to Zhengjiazhuang Village in Yuxian, his hometown. How is Zhengjiazhuang now? I heard from my hometown that in recent years, there have been ice and snow carnivals, Da Shu Hua Show, folk social fire activities, beautiful countryside construction, and 18 tourism projects ... With doubts and many question marks, I am anxious to visit Zhengjiazhuang again in March.

Zhengjiazhuang keeps me in love

I think I know Zhengjiazhuang. Because Zhengjiazhuang has my teachers and classmates, and they are in the same town, not far from home. So I am no stranger to Zhengjiazhuang. We drove and ran on the road, and our thoughts returned to the past: there were several ruined temples in Zhengjiazhuang, and the earth-rock road was not easy to travel. People only lived by planting a few acres of thin fields, and they ate the water from the river pond, which was used by people and animals. In summer, the river was full of green algae ... It was not easy to think about people's lives. However, with grain, vegetables and fruits produced on the land, people who have come from bitter days feel much happier, because compared with the years when they ate bark and were hungry in the 196s, life has changed. People cherish and be content with their existing life. Because they also know that life will get better every day. Thousands of acres of apricot trees in the village are the capital that people talk about, not to mention the harvest of vegetables, fruit trees and crops outside the courtyard. If you eat less at home, you can give them away or sell some in the city.

People have a little happiness in their hearts, and I have shared it many times. Xing Yuan's classmate's home is one of them. I like several tall apricot trees in his yard, which are about three stories high. In summer, the trees are covered with shade, so you can enjoy the cool. When the apricots are ripe, the golden apricots are full of fruits. When the wind blows, the apricots splutter, and the pigs are running around to pick up food under the trees. They are very busy. I remember that I went back to his home with my classmate Xing one summer, which was the time when apricots were ripe. His family keeps donkeys, pigs, sheep, chickens, etc. It is a typical farmer. There are delicious big sweet apricots in the yard, green vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants and peppers, tender corn and soybeans cooked, and the aunt also made golden scrambled eggs to eat. Young people don't know the taste of sorrow. With company, the fields and mountains are free to play in front of them. Let alone the children's mood. Once, I went to the 18th class with my classmate Xing, watched the caves and broken monuments of the Lotus Chaoyang Cave, and experienced walking on the wooden bridge. Under the bridge, there was an abyss, which was dangerous and exciting. Moreover, there is a large pine forest near this hanging mountain temple. When we are tired, we lie on the grass under the shade. We can smell the fragrance of wild flowers, listen to the bursts of pines, and the eagle hovers over the top of the mountain and cries from time to time. Another summer, Xing Yuan and I had a rest on his kang, and it was very cool on the reed mat. This place didn't need air conditioning or fans for the summer. I also saw the spectacular scenery when the thunderstorm came. The rain was coming, and the clouds spread from the sky to the mountain and then to the foot of the mountain. The wind pushed and ran fast, lightning and thunder, and the rain came soon. The rushing rain hit the crops, windows and roofs, and the yard soon became a watery world. The wind and rain in the mountains came and went in a hurry, and soon it was a rainbow hanging in the sky and sunny in the clear sky, so we smelled the fragrance of flowers and earth, and we flirted on the ridge again and walked around. Later, we went to different cities for work, and I will often miss my old classmates and Zhengjiazhuang. In our contact, we will often mention the village, where there are our footprints, laughter and laughter, which will let us relive a beautiful past. To come to Zhengjiazhuang is to look for the memories of old dreams, because I have been attached to Zhengjiazhuang.

it is said among the people, "Wang is no match for Xiang, but he will be no match for Li." What is the relationship between this "Li" and Zhengjiazhuang?

"Brother, look! There is a man standing here! " My sister interrupted my thoughts. It turned out to be the entrance to Zhengjiazhuang Village. On the newly-built archway, three characters "Zhengjiazhuang" are written. In the south of the archway, there is a man standing as my sister said. This is the statue of Li Cunxiao, the flying tiger general of the Tang and Five Dynasties. Li Cunxiao, whose real name is An Jingsi, is a flying fox from Daizhou and a flying tiger general. He was the first valiant soldier in the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the adopted son of Li Keyong, our time in Hedong, and one of the thirteen Taibao. When he was a teenager, he punched and killed tigers several times, and he was a pioneer in combat. He was invincible and invincible. The first gun in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, "White Horse and Silver Gun", was captured by Gao Siji in Youzhou after ten rounds of fighting with Li. Anger held King Deng, captured Meng, cut off the sea, defeated Zhang Guiba, and even Wang Yanzhang, the iron gun general, was defeated by him. He also rode through 8, troops in Huang Chao on the 18th and conquered Chang 'an. Just like the true description of the so-called "brave and invincible, every battle is invincible." There is also a folk history that it can be compared with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, who is "strong in pulling up mountains and inspiring the world", and has the evaluation that "the king can't surpass the item, but he will surpass Li" Li Cunxiao's master is Taoist Chen Tuan, the bodhi old zu. He is from Chenjiayuan, who lives in Potou Mountain, 1 meters south of the Weishan Temple in Zhengjiazhuang. That is the primitive prototype of Zhengjiazhuang in the Tang and Five Dynasties. There are eighteen halls, namely the Hanging Temple, at the foot of the Jiaoding Mountain on the Lotus Hill in the east of Zhengjiazhuang. This place is the legendary retreat of Chen Laozu, and also the place where Li Cunxiao practiced martial arts. It is said that the An surname in Zhengjiazhuang Village is the descendant of Li. Since then, Zhengjiazhuang has had a sense of mystery. What kind of place is Zhengjiazhuang?

Open the history of Zhengjiazhuang, which will take us into the misty rain of history.

Zhengjiazhuang is located at the foot of Cuiping Mountain, 12.5 kilometers southeast of Yuxian County, Hebei Province, which is 2 kilometers west of Beijing. Flying Fox, one of the eight dragons in Taihang Mountain, is eastward. East of the village is the entrance of Zhangshi Expressway, and north of the village is the exit of Zhangshi Expressway, with superior geographical position. It is an old castle in the Yuan Dynasty. The inner gate of Zhengjiazhuang Castle is called Ping 'anmen, and the street is called Ping 'an Street. Then we can naturally call the castle a safe castle. The castle is 18 meters wide from east to west and 28 meters long from north to south. It is a standard rectangle. There is a castle and four villages (Dongzhuang, Xizhuang, Nanzhuang and Beizhuang). The structure of the castle is in a zigzag shape, and the castle gate is in the south, facing the Meiyukou of Feihuyu. Feihuyu is a flying fox, an ancient commercial road and an ancient battlefield, which is one of the Eight Dragons of Taihang Mountain. The terrain of the village is high in the south and low in the north. During the Qianlong period, rainwater was collected, and the flood in Yukou came down. The gate of the fort was blocked by the mud after the flood, which made it inconvenient for residents to move in and out. Dredging in the rainy season became a huge project. So the fort door changed to the west. Baomen is called Ping 'anmen, and Nanbei Street outside Baomen is called Ping 'an Street. There are Laoye Temple, Guanyin Temple and Ancient Theater in Zhengjiazhuang Castle. There are Wudao Temple, Longwang Temple and Weishan Temple outside the fort. It is worth mentioning that Weishan Temple is the most eye-catching.

About Weishan Temple

"Weishan Temple is adjacent to Cuiping Lotus Mountain in the east, flying fox spring water in the south, green Phoenix Mountain in the west, and Yangjia Ancient General Platform in the north." This is the relevant record of three inscriptions on the east wall of the temple. The temple was built in the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty, when people were built for faith and served the spiritual level. Weishan Temple, also known as the reclining Buddha Temple. On the slope head in the southeast of Zhengjiazhuang Village, it covers an area of more than three acres. From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, it has been rebuilt many times. The temple is about 5 meters long from north to south and 35 meters wide from east to west. There are three temple doors, the main entrance and two side doors. The side door is the door for monks to go in and out at ordinary times, and the main door is used when worshipping Buddha and spreading incense. The crossing hall and the main hall are on a central axis. There is a Buddha statue at the front entrance of the temple (front hall): Maitreya Buddha, who always smiles. Send Guanyin with your back, which is a blessing for people; There are four heavenly kings on the east and west: Molihong, Mo Liqing, Magic Sea and Magic Shou. There are Buddha statues in the main hall: Sakyamuni reclining Buddha, Anan, Aya, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Amitabha, Manjusri Bodhisattva in the east, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in the west, and Wei Tuo and Lutuo, the protectors of the dharma. The front wall is painted with the miraculous murals of the eighteen Ming kings, each with its own shape, vividness and vividness. On both sides of the main hall, there are two rooms in the east and three rooms in the west. Gu Song, which has been in the hospital for 8 years, has been full of vitality since the wind, frost, rain and snow. The morning bell and evening drum in the temple are once in the morning and once in the evening, reminding the world to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The bell and drum beat the years, and Gu Song witnessed the changes of the world. Those pious pilgrims also calmed down in the temple, had good thoughts and understood the truth of being a man.

The Anjia Courtyard is the most representative in Zhengjiazhuang.

Anjia Courtyard occupies half of the fort. Anjia once created the name "Fu Xun Yong" in Yuxian County, and Anjia also produced an An general who is good at fighting and leading the army.

how strange is Zhengjiazhuang?

First, there is no Zheng in Zhengjiazhuang, and some are mainly Chen, An and Xing. Zhengjiazhuang was originally called Zhengjiazhuang, and the streets were also distributed in a zigzag structure. This is the solution of "integrity, justice, the right path, and the eight classics in righteousness ..." People used to name it after their surnames. Over time, it was called Zhengjiazhuang. The second is the big willow tree in Zhengjiazhuang. The Xing family moved from Daliushu, Hongtong, Shanxi, and did not forget their ancestors and planted willow trees in the village. There are often many people sitting in Liu Yin, enjoying the cool. The century-old willow tree is spreading out green branches. It was planted by the Xing clan of the ancient willow and became a sacred tree in people's eyes. People wrapped red cloth around the trunk with reverence and awe, and prayed for the sacred tree to bring good luck to the village. Third, there is a story circulating in Zhengjiazhuang: "Three people left and half came back". The story is about the village of 5 people in Zhengjiazhuang. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, young people actively joined the army and served the motherland. Three people went to the Korean battlefield, and only one came back alive, but he was physically disabled and became what people call a "half man." This is the martial spirit of the villagers to defend the motherland. Zhengjiazhuang people have a simple folk customs, and they are also advocating martial arts. Teacher Xing Peiqing is an outstanding one. A retired teacher who was born and raised here. In rural labor, he cultivated perseverance. He studied while farming, from private teachers to public teachers, to special teachers, and retired endlessly, and served as a secretary and scholar in the county college. His students are full of peaches and plums and work in various places. He still has a set of skills in Chinese teaching, and has published many articles, such as "Virtual and Real Ancient Classical Chinese" and "Crash Writing in Class", and "Appreciation of Wei Xiangshu's Poetry", which took about two years to write, has witnessed his literary attainments and is worth reading. The soil and water of Zhengjiazhuang cultivated its approachable and diligent style.

The front door of Zhengjiazhuang people is the scenic spot

The faint Cuiping Mountain, the Seven Girls Peak and the Eighteen Hanging Mountain Temple ... Mr. Chen Guiju, an old branch secretary, is also a peasant writer. He loves the yellow land under his feet and describes his hometown with true feelings. In his pen, he vividly wrote: "Cuiping Mountain, six roads. Jiaoding Mountain, the 18th Hall. Thunderbolt Valley, created by Lei Gong. Butterfly valley, flowers. The air leakage mountain is really cool. Court chair, Zhang ancestral hall. Saddle bridge, big carpet beam. Sandaogou, big first house. Ladder ditch, sleeping on a stone kang. Swallow ditch, birch bark. Monk ditch, thick stone talk. Big platform, lombok said. Two stone gates, up the Yangtze River. North and South Taiwan, ancient battlefield. Chen Jiayuan, a general ... Cuiping Mountain, there are six roads: Zhaizi Road, Changmu Road, Longmu Road, Houshi Road, Grape Road, Birch Road, and there are six sloping faces between them. Nantaizi and Beitaizi live in the south of the village and the north of the village, which are the places where the general of the country condescends to point troops. Moreover, a flying tiger from Chen Guyuan will be stationed in Li Cunxiao ... These landscapes will be transformed into a new world. The beautiful natural scenery and the ancient stories and legends will attract our eyes and bring them to the distant past.

Zhengjiazhuang is changing

I saw the small river pond in Yuanguhao full of clear water, green willows around the pond, and people who have leisure to fish. They set up fishing rods, sat on the horses and waited quietly, watching the movement of fish floating and smoking cigarettes leisurely; Ping 'an Avenue in the north and south is also a commercial street. There are stalls selling goods on the street. From time to time, they gather to see what they can buy, such as shovels, shovels, mops, small household appliances and snacks ... and frontispiece's house on the roadside complement each other and have their own place. In recent years, the village has added fitness equipment, cultural Little Square, Wei Great Wall viewing corridor, Cuifeng Mountain Villa, Haitang Mountain House and Nanshan Yard under construction, which are the products of keeping pace with the times and adapting to the new era. Cuifeng Mountain Villa and Nanshan Yard will receive you, and the root carving and calligraphy and painting of Haitang Mountain House will enrich your spiritual cells. The film and television crew came to the countryside to make movies. Recently, I am glad to hear that the Yamashita Ski Resort has been completed and put into operation. In winter, it is like being in a fairy tale world to see Yuan Ye's wild and snowy. Skiing in Zhengjiazhuang can be another beautiful scenery. Zhengjiazhuang Village was selected as the fourth batch of traditional villages in China on December 9, 216; In 218, it was selected into the list of the seventh batch of famous historical and cultural towns and villages in China; On March 18th, 221, Zhengjiazhuang Village was selected into the list of national eco-cultural villages in 22 published by China Eco-Cultural Association. In September, 221, the village won the "second batch of national rural governance demonstration villages" ... The future development is limitless.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Zhengjiazhuang is a paradise.

Zhengjiazhuang is a village hidden among green trees. First of all, it is an apricot garden. There are many apricot trees in Zhengjiazhuang village and around the village, with thousands of acres of apricot orchards. Every spring, when apricot blossoms bloom, the wind conveys the fragrance of apricot blossoms, and bees and butterflies dance and fly around among the flowers, and they are very busy. It also attracted people who stepped in the spring and joined the picture of spring. The pink sea of flowers, people, butterflies and bees, converge into a symphony of spring. Really can be an all-consuming love, don't get drunk! Zhengjiazhuang village is high in the south and low in the north, and the mountains are in the south. The landscape of Meiyukou flows down, forming fertile land for a long time. Cereals and melons are rich in selenium, which is an excellent nutrient element for human body. The village's famous Dabaigu and Sweet Apricot are well-known in recent years.

If you have lived in the city for a long time, and feel a little depressed and upset, you want to find a place far away from downtown without traffic and horses, and find a folk tourism village that integrates ecological leisure, pastoral sightseeing, cultural experience and industrial development. Then come to Zhengjiazhuang. What you want, Chunhua, Xiayin, Qiushi and Dongyun, can be found here. There is traffic in the hustle and bustle, and chickens and dogs hear each other; Look at the mountains and hills, all in the eye. Watch the stars at night, watch the constellations, the vast galaxy, and the meteor shower. On the full moon night, you can see the golden full moon emerge from the dark top of the mountain bit by bit, and slowly rise, solemn and glorious. The endless fields in the moonlight are covered with green crops. There is a hazy moonlight, quietly pouring on that leaf and flower. At the top of the mountain, you can call and sing to the mountain as much as you like, see the mother river flowing like a belt, and see the village below the mountain is red among the green fields.
