Historical relics of Hetao street

Boundary Monument of Jiaozhou Bay in Qing Dynasty

This stone tablet stands still intact on the sea road in front of the Haidong community in Hetao Street. The general content on the tablet is the scope of the Xu family in the east of Chaohai. Chaohai is divided into Chaohai East and Chaohai West, among which Chaohai East's surname is almost Xu and Chaohai West's surname is almost Chen. The Xu clan first came here in the Ming Dynasty to establish a tidal sea, which was later divided into coastal areas.

According to the inscription, the scope of Xu coastal area: south to Nvgukou, Tieqi Mountain (now Xishan, Liuting Street), west to Danian City (I don't know where it is, and the elderly in the community don't know), north to Tujiaozi (now located in Qingdao Export Processing Zone, where the wolf smoke ignited during the war, but now it doesn't exist), and east to Shangjiagou Xiaoshi Pond (Shangjiagou exists, but Xiaoshi Pond is here).

During the reign of Qianlong and Renchen (1772), Liu Yong, then prime minister, personally presided over the re-division of the sea borders of several villages on the north bank of Jiaozhou Bay under the petition of the Liu clan (Liu Yong and the village Liu Wei's family), ending Xu's exclusive history of sea borders.

Ancient beacon tower site

In ancient times, the place where Dagu River, Jiaolai River and Taoyuan River merged into the sea was called "Huihai Estuary", and the Hetao area on the east side of Huihai Estuary was called "Huihai Society". "Hetao Village" is named because it is located between two Shahes. The coastline of Hetao area is tortuous, which was an important coastal defense area in ancient times. In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to fight against the Japanese pirates, four beacon towers were built here and garrisoned.

According to the genealogy of Luo family in the village, in the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1369), Luo ancestors moved from Anyang County, Yunnan Province to build the village. Because there is a beacon tower in the southwest of the village (commonly known as Yantai and Dajianzi) and because it is located in the southwest of Jimo County, the village was named "Xinnanjianzi" and later named "Luo Jiaying" after its surname, which has been more than 600 years. In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1658), an official was set up in Huikou, and troops were stationed in coastal defense.

After the Opium War, the beacon tower collapsed in the late Qing Dynasty because of the weak national strength. During the Cultural Revolution, three beacon towers were shoveled into cultivated land, and now there is only one site left.

The Rise and Fall of "The Gate of Hong Kong" (Reading Jiang in Dialect)

1June 1938165438+1October, the Japanese invaders built coastal roads and built strongholds at the entrance of the west port of Chaohai Village. At the entrance of the port, I am familiar with the old people in Hetao Street. Located on the west side of Chaohai West Community where General Garden is located. It's hard to imagine that 100 years ago, this was the port and dock for fishing boats, which was an earth-shaking change. Because of sediment deposition, it is 2 kilometers away from the coast.

Hudieshan

Butterfly Mountain is also an ancient place name. In the early years, there was a "Hong Kong (dialect reading Jiang) gate" on the west side of Haixi community. The east bank of the port is tidal sea, the north bank is Sungezhuang old village, and the west bank is Luo Jiaying. When you take a boat to see Luo Jiaying, Chaohai and Sungezhuang on the sea, you look like a butterfly. Chaohai and Luo Jiaying are the wings of butterflies, and Sungezhuang Old Village is located in the butterfly's body. Therefore, it is said among fishermen that "Butterfly Mountain is guarded, and the wind and rain will not turn over when entering the harbor", which also shows that the harbor is a good natural shelter. Now, the sea recedes, leaving only a memory.

Wonders of Shimen Mountain in Dajian

There is a crack in the northwest of Dajian Village near Taoyuan River, which is unfathomable. On both sides of the mountain seam are steep and smooth towering cliffs shaped like "stone gates" Shimen is located at the border of Dajian Village, so it is called "Dajian Shimen Mountain". Near the Shimen, there are strange stones of different shapes. People call them "Shi Niu" and "Stone Horse" according to their shapes. Looking south at Shimen Mountain from the village in Jiaozhou, north of Shimen Mountain, I saw towering stone gates and towering mountains. Whenever it rains, there are clouds floating out of Shimen Cave. There is a cloud in the agricultural proverb "Where there is a cloud in Shimen Mountain, there will be rain".

Legend has it that Li Lingxian is a fairy who lives in Shimen Cave, where there is also heaven and earth, good weather, lush trees and flowers. People plow and weave, love each other, there is laughter everywhere, and there is no evil struggle. The poor outside the cave can often get help from the gods inside. On the right front of Shimen, there is a huge stone like a cow standing on the Taoyuan River. Legend has it that this stone was given to the ox by the fairy, and the ox entered the field at night. Because he was greedy, he didn't come back until sunrise, and the farmer stopped drinking. Frightened, he lay down and became a "Shi Niu". The story of Shimen Cave in Hetao area is similar to that described in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The local people believe that Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Garden" is located in the Shimen Mountain Cave in Dajian. Because the clear and gurgling river in front of Shimen Cave is also called "Taoyuan River".

The years of one village and two districts

Luo Jiaying Village, formerly known as Southwest China. During the German occupation of Qingdao, Jiaozhou Bay was leased. One of the leased historic sites included the southwest half village of Luo Jiaying in the leased land, thus forming a village divided into different jurisdictions by one road, so there were two parts, Luo Jiaying Zi and Nanyingzi. It was not until after liberation that Nanyingzi was zoned back by Jiaozhou Yinghai.

People from all corners of the country

It is generally believed that Shandong's population dried up after the turmoil at the end of Yuan Dynasty and Yongle swept across the north. As a result, immigrants from Shanxi and Yunnan began to flood Shandong in the Ming Dynasty. In Hetao Street, there is a unique funeral custom, that is, the dutiful son "guides" his parents to the southwest. Why is it facing southwest? Because most of the villages in Hetao Street and even in Qingdao were immigrated from Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, they pointed to the southwest in order to send their souls back to their hometown in the southwest. However, are the surnames of Hetao Street all from Yunnan? Of course not.

The surnames of Yunnan immigrants are represented by Luo in the community and Xu in Chaohai East Community, Chen in Chaohai West Community emigrated from Sichuan to Shandong due to job adjustment, and Liu in the community came from Anhui. What's more, Wang Xing, who was introduced into the group society, was an "indigenous" who survived the Yongle Grand Ceremony. Therefore, it is only a custom to "show the way" to the southwest, but the surname of Hetao Street comes from all corners of the country.
