Where does Shangjiazhuang Village belong?

Shangjiazhuang Village is located 13 kilometers south of Laicheng and 11 kilometers away from the subdistrict office. It borders Yanzhuang Town, Gangcheng District in the east, Shalingzi Village in the west, Shimiaozi Village in the south, and Shengshui'an Village in the north. There are 112 acres of cultivated land, 71 households, and 213 people.

According to the "Shang Family Genealogy": During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the surname Shang was moved from the big story, the surname Li was moved from the story of Sun to build the village, and the surnames Hou Zhai, Lu, Wang, and He moved here one after another. Shang's famous village is Shangjiazhuang.

In the 24th year of the Republic of China, the "Revision of Laiwu County Chronicle" records: "Chahe Township? Shangjiazhuang". After liberation, it was affiliated to Nanye Township, Yanzhuang People's Commune, Gaozhuang People's Commune, Nanye Town, and Gaozhuang Subdistrict Office.

Before liberation, Shangjiazhuang was a poor place. There are only about 20 households in the village, and only 8 households are begging for food. The five households living in the village from the west to the northeast of Shanshan rely on going out to work as long-term or part-time workers to make ends meet, and only one household can make ends meet.

Shangjiazhuang is located deep in the mountains. During the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War, our army troops often stationed and rested here. Therefore, the villagers provided a lot of people and food for the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation. There are two revolutionary martyrs Zhai Xiaozeng and Shang Kuiji, more than a dozen retired soldiers, and 9 old party members.

After liberation, under the leadership of the party, the lives of villagers gradually improved. Especially when Li Houtong served as party branch secretary from 1983 to 1996, he solved great difficulties for the villagers, built 5 bridges and roads, and opened every mountain valley to traffic. The construction of reservoirs and water pumping stations has expanded the irrigated fields; the promotion of science and technology has led to the development of vegetable production in warm-winter greenhouses, which has promoted Yiyiyu; all mountain fields have been planned, managed contiguously, and contracted to households, which will definitely remain unchanged for decades. The barren mountains have turned into mountains of flowers and fruits, with more than 10,000 apples, nearly 2,000 persimmons, 30,000 peppers, 3,000 hawthorns, and pears, peaches, apricots, dates, plums, grapes, chestnuts, and red fruits all over the mountains and plains. Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant in spring, and fruits are abundant in autumn. Farmers' income has doubled. Taking advantage of the height difference, we designed and built it ourselves. Every household has access to real tap water, which has led to all villages south of Wen River that have access to tap water. In order to solve the problem that apples are cheap in the peak season and expensive in the off-season, a 46-meter-long storage cave was built artificially with a storage capacity of 25,000 kilograms. It can store apples for two seasons, which increases the price of apples. We built our own power station, renovated electrical equipment, and built a joint primary school.

Shimenzi is the south gate of Shangjiazhuang and the only gate leading to Lianhua Mountain. This gate is more than ten meters wide, with huge stone Humen walls standing on both sides. There is a centuries-old cypress tree on each side of the gate, like two mighty warriors, guarding the stone gate day and night. Now this gate has been built as the flood gate of Shangjiazhuang Reservoir. Every year during the rainy season, when the reservoir is full, the gates automatically open and the floodwaters are released like a waterfall into the river dozens of meters away. If the dam discharges water at 14 to 16 meters, a rainbow will appear during the day.

Shangjiazhuang Reservoir has a storage capacity of one million cubic meters and extends southward to Shimiao Village 2 miles away. The reservoir can catch tens of thousands of catties of fish every year and irrigate fertile fields. It is exactly as the farmers say: "No electricity, no oil, just open the gate and the water will flow."

Shangjiazhuang Village has a small population. Since liberation, the school has been jointly run with Shengshui'an and Shalingzi. The village is full of outstanding people and talented people. In recent years, six more students have been admitted to colleges and universities, bringing glory to their fellow villagers.

In recent years, a group of people from the two village committees have used their resource advantages to attract investment, and have built 3 quartz stone mills and 8 greenhouses. I believe that in the near future, Shangjiazhuang will become more and more prosperous and prosperous.
