Centennial Old Street in Champo Town

Frenchman Henry Orleans wrote in his book "From Tokyo Bay to India" in Yunnan Travel Notes: "1On May 2, 895, on a sunny morning ... we walked a long way and came to Shang Bo Village, a big village of Han nationality, which was as empty as a plain ..." The place referred to by Orleans is Shang Bo New Street, which has been established for 20 years. Textual research shows that Xinjie was built between 1870 and 1877. There are seven kinds of historical materials:

First, in 1938, Wang Yunchang, a scholar of Xinjie (1894- 1854) wrote an inscription for the first village in Xinjie: "Anren ... Gong Liu Desheng was born in Xianfeng and Guichou years in Qing Dynasty (1853) on April 14th. The value of chaos, Myanmar, however, just turned seven years old (Fu Shi), Gu Cheng (Ning County, Myanmar) fell, took refuge in his father and traveled all over the country. After the troubled times, it was not until Ding Hainian (1887) that he changed his mind (Shuangjiang Mengku) and Buju Taiheng (Xinjiezi).

Followed by Xinjiezi Zhang's mother, Zheng's old lady (Zhang Zongneng, 62, is her great-grandson), 1948, and the tomb reads "Zheng died in Jiezi,1moved from the county seat to Xinjiezi in August, 889."

Three brothers and sisters, Zhu Deguang, the first villager in Xinjie, fled from Fengqing Xiangzhuang. Zhu Deguang came when he was twelve.

Stay here and get married. Zhu Xishan was born in 1878, and Zhu Deguang was born in Zhu De at the age of 20. Zhu Deguang was born in 1858, and lived in Xinjie when 12 years old. Then the residence time is about 1870. In addition, Zhu Deguang and Zhu Xishan are both mayors of Shang Bo Xinjie. Unfortunately, before liberation, the "order flags" all over the street were burned by soldiers. It shows that Xinjie was really built around 1870. Fourthly, Su's Genealogy records that Su Zongyuan's ancestor, the fifteenth Sun Su of Su Zongyuan, was unemployed in the street during the Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty (1863-1874 * * thirteen years). His grandson Su regards Cai as a street China guest. It can be seen that Su entered Xinjiezi around 1870.

Fifth, a 90-year-old man from Xinghua Village was provided by Li in 2004. His father, Li Wanxiang (born in 1857), told Li: "When I was 20 years old, there was a man named Wang Qixian in the village who was asked to brush the thorn of the old bitch in the wild pond and said that he would open a new street." Li (born in 19 14) said that when he was seven years old, he went out to catch the street, which coincided with street repairs. On that day, a madman named Zhou Shibao killed two people in the street, and people in the street fell into panic. So he will never forget. He was seven years old, and that year happened to be 192 1 year. Kong Jinrong, an old man living in Xinjie, added, "I remember when I was thirteen, Shang Bo Xinjie was repaired." Kong was born in 1908. When he was thirteen, it happened to be 192 1 year. The two old people live on their own side, but the time for adding new streets is exactly the same. In other words, it is reasonable to add more repairs after the streets have been built for more than ten years. This also proves that this new street did exist in 1870.

Sixth, Qiu (Zhensheng), the late speaker of the Senate of Laomianning County, briefly stated: "Qiu Yu 1899 was born in Xinjie." Qiu's parents can't be rich businessmen without more than ten years' hard work. Qiu's father Qiu lives in Xinjie. Marry the man Li and give birth to Qiu. At this point, Qiu is already a wealthy businessman in Xinjie, indicating that Xinjie already exists.

Seventh, the article said that Ouyang Zufu, a native of Xinjie, started a private school at home on 1896, with 2 students1person, such as Li Shunning and Meng Yongxing (1889- 195 1). It can be seen that Xinjie is a village where many surnames live together. As there is no historical written record of the development of Xinjie, this chronicle is based on seven materials: Shang Bo Xinjie was founded between 1870 and 1877. It took nearly 70 years from its establishment to its demolition in 1959. In more than 70 years, this street has nurtured many literati and military talents, and has shaken the military and important affairs of counties and counties many times. These people and events affect all aspects of Shang Bo today. Record it as a historical lesson.

Why did you abandon the old street and build a new street around 1870? Legend in the mouth of the villagers: First, the old street is short and narrow, and it is impossible to store mules, horses (the main means of transportation) and saddles after setting up stalls; Secondly, people often drink and quarrel, and often set up stalls to let villagers pay for lawsuits. Once, a foreigner was killed in the street, and the murder case involved the village. Everyone wants to choose a new place to build a street. There is a big waste dam pond on the south side of Lucky Old Street, which is a large area and public land, suitable for street opening. The local squire organized seven villagers to open up wasteland. After the site is opened, villages will be divided and streets will be set up. It's called Shang Bo New Street. These villages are also inhabited. Over time, it evolved from a street stall into a village.

The land of Xinjie sits west to east, like an armchair. Seen from the west, 100 m below the gentle slope is flat, with an area of about 100 mu. Out of the flat to the east, it is a gentle slope, directly connecting thousands of acres of fertile land. The source of Nanting River consists of six small rivers, namely, Damon Zhun River, Arada River, Longteng River, Fang Xun River, Yongquan River and Yonghe River, which meander through the dam.

Peng Guikun 1935, a scholar in Min Ning, once described this place as follows: "The southern district has always been called the top of the city (county) in terms of talents and wealth, especially Shang Bo, who lives 60 miles south of the city and enjoys high mountains and lush trees. Make this plateau Ye Ping and form a lotus leaf to support the rain. Many nearby villages are arched, and six streams meet, forming the main source of the South River. ... so when I was on Chashan Avenue in Mengku, the business situation was extremely hot, with nearly 200 households, and the graves behind the town were also crowded. Surrounded by patchwork fields, there are two newly built communities and warehouses on the left and right, which are magnificent. Mannai and Longgang Mountain are far away from each other, making it a natural jade case. This is really a paradise with mountains and water. And the legend of the local people: when choosing land to build streets, geomantic omen was seen by geologists, predicting that "it is a good piece of cowhide, which grows fast and decays quickly." "Decades have passed, and many events have happened here, which seems to coincide with the prophecy, so the name' Cowhide Land' has been passed down to this day. People in the village often use this to predict and comfort themselves when encountering disasters. I don't think it's bad luck, but the ground is too hard.

Ten years after Jianxin Street was built, due to the constant bandits, 1925, the gentry organized street people to build earth walls around the village and opened four gates, east, west, north and south. Every door has two floors, the bottom is a big door, and the upstairs is a room. Set up a lookout and a gun hole. At that time, people called it a "gun bunker". 1925, squire Wang Youzhen was promoted to mayor. In the same year, Ouyang and Wang Haiting (grandpa Wang) from China in Wanghe Street took Xinjiezi as the residence of the city hall. The banner at the entrance of the north gate of the new building reads the word "Tai Heng" and is equipped with couplets of "Tai Hui Ji" and "Heng". As a result, the predecessor of the old street, "Taiheng", was moved to the new street. Only the word "prince" of the sun is deeply cited as the word "prince" of Mount Tai. 1930, Mianning National Government named Xinjie as Taiheng Street and Laojiezi as Taichang Village. Laojie Primary School is designated as Taichang Primary School. Taiheng Central Primary School in Ding Xin Street became a public central primary school, and Taiheng Middle School came into being. Until 1954, Taiheng was also called Shang Bo.

1939, this street was completely renovated. The central axis of the street and the left and right sides of the street are inlaid with stone strips, with bullet stones in the middle, a cross street in the middle of the street, and sky lanterns hanging on the street. Add a Yuxi back street. The whole street bends nearly 800 meters, with Baike Street 100 meters long and 1000 meters long, with a street surface of about 20,000 square meters.

Wang Shende, a 76-year-old living street: At that time, Wang Shende was eleven. Wang Youzhen's family built houses and streets. On every street, foreign vendors gather, dozens of caravans and hundreds of mules and horses. Local tea is exported to mountain products, and leather and tobacco are exported. Foreign imports of cloth, cotton goods, vegetable oil, rice, flour, sugar, etc. are booming, sometimes called "Little Kunming". Qiu Wuzhuang, editor of Myanmar Annals, said: "Taiheng is 60 miles away from the city and is the gateway to Mengku Tea Mountain. The streets are inlaid with stones and there are rows of residents, making it the second largest town in the city. There are thousands of people in the city, mainly tea cloth. "

There is a cloud in Mianning County: "As far as business is concerned, the county seat is the first, and Taihe Street is the second. It can be summarized into three categories: A, B and C. Category A is Chennai, Dong Bang, Inner Ring, Ning 'an and Monto.

At that time, the street shape of Xinjie was like this: walk half a mile from the old street to the south, cross the pavilion, enter the selling pig pond (where people live east of the martyrs' tomb), go downhill about 40 meters to the east, and enter the north gate of Jiezi. Enter the north gate and descend 50 meters to the east. On the left side of the slope are Taiheng Central Primary School, the gate (built in 1926) and the Temple of Wealth. In front of the God of Wealth Temple is a tea trading market. Go south from here 100 meters to Longshuigou. There are horse shops and many shops on both sides of the street. Go east along Longshuigou150m, and there are tenants and vendors on both sides. It is also folded more than 70 meters south, with a cross street, hanging lanterns and calling every night. It is called the celestial pole. Take the cross as the center, reach the east gate at 100 meters to the east, and form a ⊥ shape at about 50 meters to the west. ⊥-shaped enters Yuxi Street (Backstreet) in the south and residential area in the west. Cross Street is about 200 meters south and ends in a T-shape. The corner on the left is Guandi Temple, which is also the city hall. There is a meat rice market around the house, and the T-shaped top is about 50 meters south of the south gate. Turn right to the west for about 300 meters, pass through Taiheng granary and exit the west gate.

1959, Shang Bo Reservoir was built, New Street was demolished, and people moved around. There were 308 households 1203 people at the time of relocation. According to the data provided by the government in 1952, before 1949, the rich in Xinjie accounted for 20%, the moderately rich accounted for 22%, and the poor accounted for 58%.

196 1 year, after the demolition of Xinjie, at the request of everyone, the commune was in front of the gate of the current town government. Set temporary streets with a length greater than 150m and a width greater than 20m. After several renovations, Zhiting has been crowded and messy for more than 30 years. 1999, Yang Weishan, the trustee of Monto, rented a military training ground and invested more than one million yuan to build a farmers' market with a total area of14,000 square meters and more than 200 fixed stalls. Spacious, the most in the county. Since 2003, the town party committee, government leaders, Yang Yongshou, Yang and others have initiated and organized the expansion of the market town community, and now the No.1 Road1.20,000 square meters has been built. The second and third roads under design are being expanded, and residential areas and streets are expected to be opened.

Xinjiezi has been demolished for more than 70 years. Its characteristic is to build streets first, then attract investment, and a large number of people of insight enter. According to the investigation, before the demolition, there were 4 1 surnames here, among which Qiu, Wang Peng, Meng, Zhang, Lu, Su, Li, Liu and Yu were the most common surnames. They brought capital, the Book of Changes and advanced production technology. Opening business and buying real estate promoted the development of this area. Wang Youzhen, a squire of Xinjie (surnamed Sanyuan), is a father of Wang, a native of Maxiang, Shichuan County, Sichuan Province, and a salt owner in Jinggu County. (Secretary) came here to marry Li, settle down, buy land from business and have three children. The third child, Wang Sanyuan (Wang Youzhen), opened the Zhao Na Ferry in 1920 to manage salt boats. 1944 opened a guild hall in Jishan Lane, Yuantong Street, Kunming. 1945, the first family in Xinjie, Shang Bo was paved with concrete floor. Taiheng Middle School was founded in 1943, and so on.

Lu and Su are two surnames for processing cut tobacco, and Peng takes photos of food. Li entered Xinjie in 1936, opened a tea shop and a horse shop, and became a squire. Qiu, Meng and Yu are the three main surnames of cultural education. There are also outstanding people in surnames, either businessmen or soldiers. Put someone's name in the county annals. For example, Zhou Jifu, who came third in the county magistrate examination in Yunnan Province, is the county magistrate of Lufeng, Chuxiong, Jiangchuan, Heqing, Yongsheng and Maguan. However, he is not corrupt and is an honest official.

Qiu, also known as Qiu Zhensheng, was born in 1899. He graduated from Yunnan Military Academy and served as the Chief of Staff of the Eighth Brigade of the 60th Division of the National Revolutionary Army. He was one of the organizers of 1949 Myanmar-Ningxia self-liberation.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Taiheng Middle School developed into the second middle school in Lincang County. The former vagrants moved to 27 villages such as Monto and Zhao Na. Thousands of acres of grain fields were left behind, and Shang Bo Reservoir was built, with a storage capacity of 22.4 million square meters and a water surface of 24 million square meters, which became an important scenic spot in Lincang County.

After the residents of Xinjiezi moved to various villages, they were unfamiliar with each other, and at that time, the political "five winds" (production wind, leveling wind, boasting wind, forcing phoenix and blindly directing wind) prevailed, and the national economy was in trouble for three consecutive years. The relocated people are unfamiliar and unaccustomed to the production and living environment, and their thoughts are contradictory. They gathered several times to petition, especially in 1960 and 196 1 year. During the 1967 Cultural Revolution, they petitioned the Central Committee. Therefore, under the supervision of the higher authorities, the county government partially compensated Xinjie immigrants in 198 1 year, which solved this long-term hidden danger. Immigrants have been living in harmony with the relocated villagers, which has promoted and promoted the economic and social development of the town. The fact of a hundred years seems to verify the prediction of "cowhide land", so that Xinjie people are still passed down from generation to generation.
