Historical records

According to the records of Wuyi county annals, the history of Guodong village can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. According to he's genealogy, Guodong village developed in Yuan Dynasty. In 1350 A.D., he Shouzhi, a posterity of Wuyi, visited his grandmother who lived in Guodong village. However, when he saw that there were thousands of green peaks, towering ancient trees, Bixi and Qifeng, Shouzhi was eager to move. Later, he got the consent of his grandfather, who was the Deputy envoy of Guangdong Province, his grandfather, who joined the army in Korea, and his parents, and went to Guodong to build a house. Since then, more than 640 years later, he's family has not been continuous, and now has nearly 5000 descendants, which has become a famous family. What makes Guodong people proud and boastful is the great talent of his ancestors. He Zhizhong, the Prime Minister of Huizong in Song Dynasty, has been a scholar for generations. In Ming and Qing Dynasties alone, there were 10 Gongsheng, 14 Zengguang Sheng, 10 Chensheng and 114 Xiucai in Fu and county There are so many talented people in tanmaru mountain village. Guo Dongren in the old days attributed this to Fengshui.

Guodong geomancy

Geomancy, from the perspective of modern people, is nothing more than topography. But in the Chinese cultural system, the combination of geomantic omen and the eight trigrams of yin and Yang has become an important part of ancient Chinese metaphysics. Fengshui is closely related to the location of the capital, the emperor's accession to the throne, the choice of cemeteries and the direction of homesteads. Throughout the formation of ancient Chinese villages, it is not difficult to find that geomantic omen played an important role. He Shouzhi is well versed in Fengshui, and his love for Guodong is not only due to the beautiful scenery. He's genealogy has this description: "Yin and Yang (ancestors) phase, view spring, positive direction." He Shouzhi is convinced that this is an "invincible place for all ages", and it is Fengshui that makes him leave the prosperous county town, bid farewell to the distinguished mansion, and come to this small village with "mountains ring like a country, and secluded like a cave". The ancestor of he believed that Guo Dong would bring prosperity to his family.

Architectural features

The terrain of Guodong is indeed unique. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, just like a blessed land. Shuangxi is endowed with spirituality. It's rare to leave a flat land in the north, and there are green hills on the left and right in the distance, which just corresponds to the saying that "lions and elephants hold the door". After the confluence of the two streams, they flow around the village in the Xishan mountains, so a Huilong bridge is built across the stream, wrapping the geomantic omen of this treasure land. There is another legend about the longest building in Guodong, which was built in the Yuan Dynasty. Huilong bridge was originally called Shihong. The ancestors warned that Shihong could not be broken. "The bridge is broken, the village incidents are frequent, the four people are unemployed, and the disaster is more serious than the year before.". There are also image artists who say that "the bridge is a gen Xiang, rushing up and down, and the West and East are not conducive to the palace" and "the mountain is a Longshan. If you live in it, the dragon will return, and the bridge can not be abandoned. Weir water as a bridge, the Dragon returns to gather Qi.... " So the villagers set their eyes on the geographical advantages, rooted in the hexagrams, and chose the site to build the bridge. After that, the bridge was destroyed, repaired and destroyed. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, a square pavilion with stone columns was built on the top of the arch bridge, which increased the beauty. Shicangling ten miles away, the tower on the north mountain and the Huilong bridge are almost in a straight line, which shows the ancients' painstaking efforts to see the situation of Fengshui.

Most ancient villages have "water outlets". Literally, they seem to be the gathering place of streams, but in fact, they are the gateway to keep away foreign enemies. Guodongshuikou has its own characteristics. To the east of huilongqiao is a 400 meter high steep Longshan mountain. On the mountain is a hundred mu primeval forest covered with clouds and fog. It has always been connected with the west mountain, which is full of thorns and dangerous rocks. Under the bridge, the stream is fast, and there is a 5-meter-high thick city wall outside the bridge, through which a road passes. In the old days, all the villagers came in and out of the city gate. The city gate has a pair of stone couplets: "the scenery outside Guo is ancient, and the sun and moon in the cave are long." The inscription is "Shuangquan Guli".

Shuikou can be said to be the place where Guo Dong recorded his soul. Outsiders came here. Most of them will be deeply affected and revered. Guodong people know books, etiquette and martial arts, and they are very patriotic. According to records in Wuyi County, "in February of the fifth year of Shunzhi, Shankou City killed the magistrate Liu Jiaqi..." This is a righteous act of Guodong people against the rule of the Qing Dynasty. After that, the imperial court was furious and sent heavy troops to encircle Guodong. Zhou Leize, who was then a member of Jin, Qu and Yan Daotai, falsely claimed that he had to go through the "stone Cangling of a thousand li, the flood of a hundred Li, and the big stone of five li" on his way to Baoguo cave, and that "people have to turn sideways and horses have to tear down bones" before he could enter the village. Because of this, the Qing army retreated. After the imperial court finally found out the truth, Zhou Daotai was covered with mercury and skinned. To commemorate this great benefactor, the villagers of Guodong made a painted statue of Zhou Leize in Xiazhao temple outside the village, and put his memorial tablet in Wenchang Pavilion at the east end of Huilong bridge for annual sacrifice.

History and culture

Any place, no matter how exquisite it is, if it has no cultural connotation and can't appreciate the cultural landscape, I'm afraid it always lacks aftertaste. The reason why Guo Dong is so impressive is that she has a large number of ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although there are few rich families and courtyards, the integrity and preservation of the village house can be said to be a chronicle of architecture from Ming Dynasty to Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The porch pillars of Ming Dynasty, the brackets of Qing Dynasty, and the doors and windows of the Republic of China are everywhere. What is interesting is the overall layout of Guodong. Guodong is composed of two parts: Guoshang village and Guoxia village. The roads are in order, paved with pebbles, suitable for rain and sunshine. There are six wells, half above and half below. There is a public utility
