(1) Century old granary

The century old granary of Jidao Miao village was built in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty. It has a history of two or three hundred years. At that time, the population of the village was small, the houses were scattered, and the granary was built with each household. Due to the poor social security, robberies and fires occurred from time to time, and the food suffered serious losses. People were worried about it. Because the valley stream flows down from here, and this is the heart of the stockade, under the advice of the village elders, people moved the granary to this place for centralized construction, built houses around the granary, and installed the gate of the stockade. In this way, both fire and anti-theft, food no longer suffer losses, people live and work in peace and contentment, a century granary from generation to generation preserved.

(2) The origin of the footprints of cattle and horses

About the origin of the footprints of cattle and horses. It is said that in ancient times, there were ten suns burning the whole world. On the earth, the rocks have been roasted and melted, the trees have been scorched, the water source has been exhausted, the Tianhe river has dried up, people and animals can not find water to drink, and people are struggling to live in the hot sun and lack of water. There is still a small stream of water here, which has continued for many years. People come here from all directions to get water and drink. The immortals in the sky also come here to drink. This left indelible footprints of cattle and horses.

(3) The legend of buried altar mountain

The legend of burtan mountain. It is said that a long time ago, fire often broke out in the stockade. After being robbed by the fire, people attach great importance to the fire prevention work, but the fire also happens from time to time. In this case, the elders invite the wizard to come and see. The wizard says that the mountain opposite the stockade is a torch. If it's burning in front of the stockade, you must put a big altar on the top of the mountain behind the village, and ask the wizard to recite the Buddha's mantra on an auspicious day and ask the gods to bless you. Since then, this mountain has been called buried altar mountain. For hundreds of years, there has been no fire in the stockade. Although the story is superstitious and untrustworthy, it reflects people's desire for peace.

(4) The story of gucangchang

The story of the drum farm. It is said that the ancestors of this village loved the bronze drum and Lusheng. They played Lusheng and danced the bronze drum during the Spring Festival. Later, the wooden column of the drum was rotten and needed to be replaced. The village elders went up to the mountain and repeatedly selected a tree which was straight and better. When they went up to the mountain to cut down the tree on an auspicious day, they found that a man had been bitten to death by a tiger at the foot of the tree. The elders thought it was unlucky that if they wanted the tree to set up the drum, they would "lead the wolf into the house", and the tree would not cut down either. When they came back, they buried the drum and killed it Make a will: the descendants can no longer engage in bronze drum, since then, the village's bronze drum disappeared.
