Immigrant appeasement

"Taihang Mode" The ancient village went out of Huang Chao, and it was difficult for Feng Zu to start a business.

An ancient village in the western mountainous area of Xingtai, or a corner of the mountain, or a side of the water, or a merchant's courtyard, or an official's mansion. Years of moonlight flow, mountain flowers wither and glory, and spring water flows intermittently. There are many legends circulating in an ancient village.

Zhu Wenping Village, also called "Zhu Wenping Village" by local villagers, has the examination records of old Xingtai County.

The word "Zhu Wen" in Zhu Wenping is easily associated with Zhu Wen, a rebel of Huang Chao Uprising Army in the late Tang Dynasty. Today, many stories about Huang Chao Uprising Army and Zhu Wen are still widely circulated in the local area.

1 Zhu Wenping and Huang Chao

Compared with the scattered mountain villages around, the layout of stone buildings in Pingcun, Zhu Wen is fairly neat, almost as square as a camp. This is also the most attractive place in Pingcun, Zhu Wen, because uniform stone buildings are rare in Taihang Mountain area in Xingxi.

Feng, a local teacher who loves collecting newspapers and writing, said that regarding the origin of the village name, he once compiled an article based on legend, describing the anecdote of Zhu Wen as a "king of the children" when he was a child, whereas his previous name was Daping Village. But the most popular story is that Zhu Wen once camped here, hence the name.

Whether the insurgents led by Huang Chao or Zhu Wen really came here as the villagers said, there is no relevant record in the historical records, but it cannot be falsified.

According to records, the peasant uprising led by Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty mainly occurred in Shandong, then in Henan, then in Huanghuai, across the Yangtze River and finally in Chang 'an (now Xi 'an). I don't think I've arrived in Hebei. As for the Taihang Mountain area in the west of Xingtai, the probability is even smaller.

Legends are not equal to history, but legends often salvage some traces of history. Teacher Feng said that legends related to the Huang Chao Uprising Army are still circulating in many densely populated villages near Pingcun, Zhu Wen.

For example, Zhu Wenping climbed the carved cliff northeast, which is an ancient village in yingtan, a famous historical and cultural village. According to legend, the generals of Huang Chao Uprising Army often discuss the plan of marching here, hence the name "yingtan". Further north, there are Liu Xueyu, Tianmingguan, Hejiaping (also known as Hejiangping) and other villages.

These villages are named after the peasants' rebels fought against the government forces and the blood flowed into the river. Huang Chao's army marched before dawn; The rebels once celebrated their victory in the local area. Except for the names of villages, most of the stories circulated by local people are related to the Huang Chao Uprising.

However, it should be pointed out that Huang Chao is from Heze, Shandong Province, and his native place is Fan County, Henan Province, while Zhu Wen is from Dangshan, Anhui Province, and was buried in Yizhou County, Henan Province.

As far as geographical location is concerned, Zhu Wenping, a small mountain village, is worth mentioning. Zhu Wenping is located in Bai 'an Township, Xingtai County, 3 kilometers north of Bai 'an Village along Dabeigou ravine.

In ancient times, this ditch was an ancient road connecting Shanxi and Hebei. Behind Zhu Wenping, through Nanmingshui Village and sow's depression, is Zoumachao Village in heshun county. The river flows by the village and joins Luo Chuan Road in the east of Baian Village. The village is about ten meters above the river, and there is a walled village by the river, which is suitable for garrison camping.

It can be said that Zhu Wenping relies on mountains and waters, clinging to the ancient road, and really has the trend of "one person guarding it, and ten thousand people can't force it". There are renovated gatehouses in the north and south of the village. The plaque upstairs is called "Hong Wen House" and the locals call it "Gaomen". It is said that when Zhu Wen camped, there was a camp gate.

The shepherd boy proclaimed himself emperor and became a vassal.

There are many legends about Zhu Wen in Pingcun, Zhu Wen.

Legend has it that Zhu Wen herded cattle on the mountain here when he was a child. He piled up nine dung baskets and said, "whoever can climb up is the emperor." As a result, only Zhu Wen climbed to the top, and other children climbed into the basket below in turn.

Zhu Wen shouted, "I am the emperor, and you are all ministers." So I gave the children below an official title. The last child didn't climb in, and went home crying and told his parents: "Zhu Wen called himself the emperor, making others a big official, but not me." In order to appease, the family gave the child to Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen said, "I'm joking, so you should be the prime minister." Don't want to a few years later, Zhu Wen rose up against the Tang Dynasty, fought in the south and set up the back beam, which truly realized the reward of a group of children who herded cattle with him.

There is also a story about Zhu Wen herding cattle.

This story is about a year of famine. Zhu Wen secretly killed the cattle of the landlord who was grazing beside him, gave them to other cowboys, and stuffed their tails into a gap. Cook the meat wanted to use a pot. At night, he stole a big pot from Nanmingshui Village in the north. When it was used up, it was already five o'clock when the pot was returned, and it was almost dawn. Zhu Wen was afraid of being discovered and said, "Let's get dark." Sure enough, the rising sun darkened again, and he returned the pot smoothly. When the landlord came to look for the cow, Zhu Wen pointed to the cow's tail in the gap and said, "The cow has gone into the ground." Things just passed.

Feng said that if we carefully distinguish, the legend of herding cattle in Zhu Wen is similar to the childhood legend of the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. As for whether it is true or not, there is no way to be true. Its significance is more to prove that there are many legends about Zhu Wen and Huang Chao uprisings in Pingcun, Zhu Wen.

3. Feng is an ancestor.

Zhu Wen Pingcun 120 has more than 400 households. The real permanent population is only over 200, and 70% of them are surnamed Feng.

Regarding the spread of Feng's family, the local people said that after several wars, Xingtai was vast and sparsely populated. Feng moved to Xingtai with the migration tide of Shanxi Sophora japonica and first settled in Fengjiagou Village.

Fengjiagou village is the ancestral home of many Feng families in Taihang Mountain area of Xingxi. With the reproduction of population, the contradiction between the small land and the large population in Fengjiagou village is prominent, so it is necessary to separate a few parts from the original village and move to other places. The ancestors of the Feng family in Zhu Wenping Village moved to Tianmingguan Village. After several generations, the two stocks separated from Tianmingguan and came to Zhu Wenping Village, Baian Township.

According to the title deed of Feng Jiabao, a descendant of the Feng family in Zhu Wenping village, the earliest land sales contract between the Feng family who moved and the former Wang family was concluded in the third year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1864). The Wangs' name was Wang Pi, who was deserted on a hillside in Donggou and sold it to Feng. Since then, in the five, seven, nine and thirteen years of Tongzhi, some land has been transferred from the king to the Feng family. According to a land sale contract in the 13th year of Tongzhi, the land occupied by Feng extended from the east to the north of the village. The title deed involves a transaction amount of "10,000 documents" and indicates that if both parties breach the contract, they can sue the government with this title deed.

During the Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, the Feng family purchased land on a large scale for the first time. The word "Gui" of the Feng family who participated in the contract is Zhu Wen, the second generation of the Feng family who moved to Pingcun. According to the memories of the old people in the village, the ancestors of the word "Gui" were still young when they moved in, and they had to wait for more than ten years to grow up before they could conclude a contract. In this way, Feng moved to Pingcun, Zhu Wen about 170 years ago.

The establishment of New China has opened a new chapter for Zhu Wen in Hiramura. In the early days of the founding of New China, terraced fields were built on the sloping fields, the floodplain was neatly built, water and electricity channels were connected, and agricultural infrastructure was basically completed. By 1986, Zhu Wenping village had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the new Zhu Wenping village, which was planned by Xingtai County Urban Construction Bureau and basically completed by 1989, appeared in front of the world. Before the renovation, the streets and lanes in Zhu Wenping were tortuous, the villagers were inconvenient to walk, the architectural pattern was different, and some houses were seriously damaged. After the renovation, Zhu Wenping Village, which was rebuilt in the original site, not only retained the land use pattern of the ancient military camp bungalow, but also planned the interior.

The magnificent Hong Wen building replaced the "Gaomen" camp that was almost destroyed that year. With Hong Wen Building as the south gate, a small mountain street with low south and high north passes through the village. The main roads in the village can run side by side with smooth drainage. The overall architectural pattern of the village is unified, which is the standard quadrangle structure in Taihang Mountain area. The main road divides Zhu Wenping into two parts, east and west, and the two parts are divided into three rows and two columns. There are several rows of houses on the west slope of the village, facing east from west.

Throughout the development of Zhu Wenping, there are both historical vicissitudes and modern planning. Compared with other ancient mountain villages that are also undergoing new rural reconstruction, the newly-built stone buildings in Zhu Wenping have more historical and cultural value and representativeness than the newly-built brick houses or unit buildings in other ancient villages. Today, with the deepening of economic and social development and urbanization, most of the latter are only transitional buildings that destroy the ancient houses in Taihang Mountain. Changes are always short-lived. It can be said that Pingcun Village in Zhu Wen is not only a model village in the old days, but also a model village in the current new rural construction.
