Where is the ancient well in Wang Jia?

Gu Jing, Wang Jia is a cultural relic protection unit in Hunan Province.

Since the Han Dynasty, the ancient town of Zhu Ting has gradually become a distribution center for goods from you, Xiang, Heng and Yi, and its population has gradually become dense. In the early years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, Wang's ancestors moved from Anhui to Xiangtan because of the war. Because the ancient town of Zhu Ting is prosperous and has a large population, it is located in front of Xiangjiang River and backed by Lion Mountain. Whenever the Xiangjiang River rises, the river is turbid and it is difficult for residents to drink water. The ancients successively dug several ancient wells for drinking, such as Wangjiajing, Lujiajing, Songbailing and Quanjialing. Among them, Songbailing and Quanjialing were buried during the construction of the Beijing-Guangzhou railway tunnel, and Lujiajing was located in the town Shanggang Street neighborhood Committee and was built in the Qing Dynasty. The most famous is Wangjiajing, which was announced as a provincial cultural relics protection unit on 20 1 1.

Wang Jia Gujing is located in a low-lying area of Fanggugang Street in Zhu Ting Town, near the river port, about 1 m above the river surface. It was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been maintained and inscribed in all previous dynasties. It is still in use today. It is the first ancient well discovered in Zhuzhou City, which is still rare in Hunan Province. As an ancient drinking water project with less preservation and better preservation, it fills the gap in the category of ancient wells, a historical relic in our city, and provides precious physical materials for studying the social, economic and cultural development of Zhuzhou County in Ming Dynasty and the ancient well culture in Ming Dynasty. The ancient well in Wang Jia is of high historical value, and it is also a historical witness of the prosperity and development of this town.

There used to be three wells in the ancient well, namely, the upper well, the middle well and the lower well, which were used for drinking by residents, washing and livestock respectively. The design is scientific and reasonable, the shape is simple and beautiful, which has high scientific value, and also reflects the good habit of ancient people to scientifically recycle water resources and pay attention to sanitary water use. Unfortunately, in 2005, due to the construction of Zhuzhou Navigation and Electricity Project, the water level of Xiangjiang River rose and the wells in the middle and lower reaches were flooded. Going to Beijing is still for local residents to drink and wash. The water source of this well comes from the depths of the earth's surface and is sweet all year round. No matter whether it is dry or wet, the quality and flow rate of spring water remain unchanged, and the water temperature has remained at around 10℃ for many years. It's really a fairy well on earth and an underground treasure spring. The local people said: making tea with this kind of water will not only make the tea fragrant, but also give birth to twins after drinking it for a long time.

The existing upper well has a beautiful and correct appearance, with a length of 2m, a width of 1.5m and a depth of 3m. The shaft wall is made of granite. There are five steps extending into the well along the well. The white marble monument stands above the wellhead, and the four characters "Wang Gujing" are engraved in the middle. The back of the stone tablet is engraved with the inscription "Wang Jia Jing Ji". Another white marble tablet is buried in the borehole wall, with four vigorous and simple characters of "Wang Jia Ancient Well" engraved in the middle, "Tiancong Eleven Years" engraved on the right and "Wang Lin _ Li" engraved on the left. The white marble stele erected during the construction of the ancient well is well preserved, which records the age, background and surname of the ancient well. Gravure regular script inscription is clear, vigorous, concise and colorful, which has high artistic value. The inscription on the ancient well reads: The ancient Yellow Emperor drilled a well, which should be an upper-level astronomy, suitable for lower-level personnel, and the place where the well is located is large. Gu is hard to decide. Those who don't eat after tasting the well and the spring have it. The well has not been changed, and the name has not been later. If there is anything different about Wangjiajing in Zhu Ting. Wang is a right-wing family in the city. He came to Tan from Zhengzhou in the early years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty. The ancestors named Guangfa people gathered in Wangjiawan, the city, which is the land of Wang Jia Dam, the sixteenth capital today, and the descendants were respected in Zhu Ting.

For thousands of years, the ancient well has nurtured the local descendants, and the descendants have taken good care of them. Whenever the Xiangjiang River rises and the river floods the ancient well, residents will spontaneously organize a well washing when the river recedes to remove the dirt in the ancient well and keep the well water clean. Although the residents around the ancient well have used tap water, most of the domestic water still uses well water, and the ancient well has become an indispensable part of local residents' lives. In 2007, the local government funded the reconstruction of the periphery of the ancient well and built a curved well platform with cement along the river.

The Wang family moved south from Anhui and settled down, and gradually became a wealthy family. Later generations of the Wang family set up a shrine in the pioneer of nearby Shuikou village at the end of the Ming Dynasty to worship their ancestors to record their ancestors who dug wells. It is impossible to prove when the ancestral temple was destroyed, but according to the old villagers nearby, the original site of the ancestral temple of Wang is under the ancient maple tree of Xianfeng Group beside the highway today, which is still about 40 meters high. Times have changed. In the past, some descendants of this Wang family went out to do business as officials and moved out. Because the town is small, it is difficult to build houses, and some of them live and work in Pingshan Township and Shuikou Village under the jurisdiction of nearby Zhu Ting Town. According to the old people in the town, the Wangs did not move as a whole, but now there are no descendants of the Wangs living in the ancient town.

In the works of Jiang Yibin, the leader of the literary Xiang Army and director of the Provincial Writers Association (the masterpiece is "Fire Carp"), the ancient well in Wang Jia is endowed with a higher spirit: although it is all water, besides, the river has been mixed at the edge of the well water, but the well water remains clear. Well water seems to have a solid line of defense to keep the muddy river out. I seem to hear the well water disdainfully say to the river, hum, demo, I won't play with you. You are covered in mud, mixed with dead branches and leaves, but you want to defile my clean body? Therefore, the ancient well has always maintained a blue place. Therefore, Wang Jing is like an upright man. Whether he can change his name or not, he still maintains his independent personality and never agrees. This is both admirable and shameful.

Zhu Tingren Escaped from Wang Jiajing, a local writer in Zhuzhou County, recorded: "1In late May of 944, Japanese robbers ran into the town like crazy animals. One morning in June, a young man named Wu Gusheng was carrying water in Wangjiajing. As soon as he took out a bucket of water from the well, he saw two Japanese devils coming this way with guns. Knowing that he was weak, Wu Gusheng left the bucket and the pole and fled quickly. He begged all the way along the Beijing-Guangzhou railway, and successively entered the factory to work, joined the party, participated in the work to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and engaged in bandits in Xiangxi. In the meantime, he returned to Zhu Ting Town. What makes Wu Gusheng sad is that all his relatives have passed away. That day, he stood in front of Wang Jiajing and cried for two hours. The homeland is unforgettable, and the fallen leaves return to their roots. Decades later, how many times can Wu Gusheng see his hometown Gu Jing in his dream? 20 15 On the eve of the 70th anniversary of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, he got his wish at the age of 86, and with the help of his children, he rushed back to his hometown from Shanghai. He specially came to Wangjiajing, where the blue waves have been rippling for thousands of years, holding sweet spring water with tears in his eyes. "
