Who is Mou's ancestor?

On the great plain in northwest Shandong, there is an extremely ordinary village. There are nearly a thousand villagers living in the village, most of whom are surnamed Mou. According to the records of Mu's genealogy, their ancestors moved from Qixia County, Jiaodong Peninsula, Shandong Province to Beimouzhuang Village, Yucheng County during the large-scale immigration during Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, and the last one moved here, which has a history of nearly 500 years. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's son Judy was a prince in Beijing. He competed with his nephew, Emperor Jianwen, for the throne. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he fought for the throne in Shandong for three years. In the war, officers and men slaughtered the local people, leaving ten houses and nine vacant rooms, and many villages were destroyed in the war. ) Shen, duang and Meng who survived the war are now the only ones left. What's more, this only pulse has moved to Tianjinwei as early as the early 1960s. It is said that it is the same strain, but God has eyes. At the end of last century, a doctor from Shenyang studied abroad, which is a gift from heaven.

Speaking of this strange village, its strangeness is very special. Please listen to me and give you one slowly.

One of the oddities is that the terrain of this village is very high. Although the village was built on the northwest plain of Shandong, it is very different from other villages around it. Seen from a distance, its terrain is more than twice as high as that of other surrounding villages. The reason has to start with its construction: in the early Ming Dynasty, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang dug an artificial river running through the north and south, named "Zhujiahe", in order to strengthen the water transport capacity and ensure the supply of materials in the capital. When digging Zhujiahe, a transfer station was built here according to the design requirements, so a dock was built on the east bank of Zhujiahe. The terrain of the dock is more than 4 to 5 meters higher than the surrounding environment. Because this river was the emperor's own, many goods were shipped to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that ships come and go and white sails flow day and night, so many wise people build houses here and live and operate here. Zhujiahe is about 500 meters wide from east to west, and it runs to southwest and northeast, possibly from Beijing to Nanjing. Coupled with the deep river, many large merchant ships can pass through, so the business activities here were very prosperous at that time, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was crowded with businessmen. Because many high-rise buildings are good witnesses: no matter which one in our village wants to build a new house, there is no need to ram the foundation, because there are a lot of bricks and rubble buried everywhere; If you want to plant trees, you have to dig out half a pit of bricks in a tree pit, which shows the luxury of the building at that time; Whenever summer comes and rainstorm washes away, we will find a lot of rusty ancient money in the ditch, as far away as the Han Dynasty and as close as the Qing Dynasty. All this reflects the unprecedented economic prosperity and grand occasion here a long time ago.

The second strange thing is that the layout of the village is chrysanthemum-shaped. It is said that the original design in the village was Jiuju, called Jiuju Eighteen Crowns. At the beginning, there were nine cross streets in the village, a street in the middle, and eight markets around it. Houses were built around each cross. Every market is like a blooming chrysanthemum, and the makeup of the whole village is like nine blooming chrysanthemums. It is really unique and ambiguous. Future generations should not just ask: Why only build nine markets? The old man said, because nine is the largest number in the number, representing good luck; Chrysanthemum blooms in September, full of flowers and lush scenery, which indicates a happy life; This fully embodies the yearning and pursuit of the ancient working people for a better life in the future!

The third strange thing is that there are temples around the village. Specifically, it is the Wang Yao Temple in the north of Sun Simiao, the land temple of the land father-in-law, the Queen Mother Temple in the west and Guan Yu's Guandi Temple in the east. A large number of temples not only reflected the economic development here at that time, but also showed the prevalence of social religion and the prosperity of incense at that time. Now all the temples have disappeared in an unknown year and time. Whether destroyed by war, natural disasters or man-made destruction, it has ceased to exist, leaving only some bricks and tiles piled in place, trembling silently in the wind and rain; But from these remnants of ancient tiles, we can still tell future generations the prosperity and glory of this village.

The fourth strange thing is that the village is surrounded by depressions (or bays). Somehow, the village is surrounded by depressions and the bay is connected. There is water in the bay all the year round and it has never dried up. Because reeds are planted in the water, fish and shrimp flock. The northernmost and largest depression is called a reservoir. In summer and rainy season, the deepest part of the reservoir can reach as much as three meters. The water depth of other depressions can reach more than one meter. From south to north, there are more than ten places, including Pipa Bay, Laowan, jy Bay in Li Kui and Lianzi Bay. Every summer and autumn, it becomes a children's world, or go swimming in the bay and play water games; Or go fishing, catch fish and shrimp with a net, and go home to offer a sumptuous dinner for parents; Or put a river lantern on the water, put a paper boat and let it drift with the wind; At this time, there are often a large group of children around the shore, taking out their carefully folded paper boats, scrambling to try. No one wants to show weakness and compete with each other. The scene is like a temple fair and a dragon boat race in Jiangnan. Very lively, bursts of laughter and shouts cheer for the children and bring endless fun.

The fifth stranger is the pleasant scenery. Seen from a distance, the huge village is hidden among the green trees, which really looks like a mirage. Legend has it that at the beginning of the prosperous season, the west of the village was full of smoke and waves. Every morning, at dawn, people will see the whole village shrouded in fog, as if they had entered a fairyland on earth. I don't know who planted many high-quality reeds in the depression, which surrounded the whole village and added a layer of mystery and beauty to the village. Every summer, reeds flourish, covering the whole depression and all the water surfaces. There are countless ducks and unknown wild birds, as well as badgers, weasels, rabbits, hedgehogs and foxes hiding inside. The endless rich food that reeds bring to them; The fish and shrimp in the water are more enjoyable, and they grow big and fat. Whenever the wheat harvest season, we will go fishing, and when we are lucky, we can catch more than ten kilograms of fish. In late autumn and winter, the village organized young and strong laborers to tie rafts with straw and purlins and harvest reeds. At this time, there will be many rafts lined up in a long fleet, and they will go to various battlefields like warships, which will amaze us children standing on the shore. Reed cutters skillfully paddle bamboo poles and wave long-handled sickles. On the wide water, they waved sickles, harvested reeds and sang their favorite songs, expressing their inner joy to the fullest. That scene has so far made me envious, vaguely appearing in my dream.
