Why is there such a large-scale and artistic building complex between the poor mountains and rivers? The answer can be found in the brick carving above the gate of the thousand pillar house: the boat goes out, and after making money, the big boat comes back and is respected. For hundreds of years, the ancestors of Sizhai followed this tradition, went out to make money, brought their wealth home to build houses, and solidified ancient civilization in architecture.

Historical evolution

Si house has a long history, construction and evolution, and has been divided and combined many times. In ancient times, it was called Shanglin. It got its name from the Shanglin courtyard built in Wuzhishan in the second year of Qianhu in the Five Dynasties (949). The descendants of the Si family still call themselves "shanglinsi in Jiyang". "Landscape of Zhuji county annals" records: "in the third year of Yuanjia period, my mother died, and I had a funeral. Not buried, forced by the fire in the neighborhood, en Ji's wife Huan cried and ran for help. When the neighbors went to help, the coffin was saved. Both en and Huan were burned to death. There is a secretary to change its inside to Xiaoyi, and he rented cloth III. I'd like to pursue the gift of Zuo Wei, Xianqin County, Tianshui department. " Therefore, he named Xiaoyi Township after his filial son, Jia en. Sizhai belonged to Xiaoyi Township from Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. Before Qing Dynasty, there were four lingdu. Sizhai belonged to 42du and 43du respectively. At the beginning of the Republic of China, Shanglin Township and Zhidao Township were set up. In 1947, they were collectively called Sizhai township. From 1951 to 1955, it was divided into three townships: Shanglin Township, Sizhai Township and Xiaodong township. From 1956 to 1958, Shanglin Township and Xiaodong Township were merged into Sizhai Township and renamed Dongfanghong commune. In October 1981, it was divided into two communes, Sizhai commune and Xiaodong commune. In 1983, it was changed into Township commune. In May 1992, the two townships of Sizhai and Xiaodong were reunited into Sizhai township. In 2005, together with Chencai Town, they became the present-day dongbaihu town. Since the great revolution, many villages in Sizhai township have been the bases of revolutionary activities, and many villages and towns have been approved as revolutionary base townships by Shaoxing Municipal People's government.

History and culture

Si house, as the name suggests, is the place named after Si house. The historical development of Si house is closely related to the development of Si clan. The clan history of Si family is the main line of its historical development. When you read "Hundred Surnames", you will find that there is no Si surname in "Hundred Surnames", but it ranks 25th among the more than 400 surnames in Zhuji according to the size of the population. According to historical records, "Si" originally wrote "Shi", whose ancestor was "Shi Wei". At the end of Jian'an period in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shi Wei lived in Wu. He was invited to be a doctor and was appointed as an official. In March of 238, the first year of chiwu in the Three Kingdoms, he saw that there were too many prisoners in prison, many of whom were wronged. Without asking for permission, he pardoned a group of prisoners. In the imperial court, an official impeached Shi Wei on the ground that he pardoned and released prisoners without authorization. The text was sent to Sun Quan. Sun Quan was furious and called Shi Wei to be punished by death. Shi Wei had two sons, Shicong, the eldest, who was 16 years old, and shidun, the youngest, who was only 13 years old. It happened that Wu Guotai, Sun Quan's mother, held a 70 year old birthday party. Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only Shi Wei was not found. When asked about the attendants, they knew that Shi Wei had committed a capital crime and called Sun Quan to find out why. Sun Quan informs Shi Wei of his crime of deceiving the king by releasing the prisoner without authorization. Wu Guotai attached great importance to Shi Wei and knew him well. He believed that there must be a reason for this, so he sent someone to review him. As expected. He ordered Sun Quan to pardon him for his death and restore him to his original post. Sun Quan was deeply moved by the two brothers' filial piety. He sighed with a sigh: "the son is willing to replace the father, filial piety; the brothers fight for the generation, righteousness.". So is the filial son According to the criminal law at that time, officials of the imperial court should change their surnames if they are pardoned for committing capital crimes. Therefore, as soon as Sun Quan's voice came down, the two sons quickly went to thank him, "Shi" was changed into "Si", which became a royal gift. Later Sanwei resigned from office and moved his son and grandson from Ziyang (now Yanzhou City, Shandong Province) in Shandong Province to Wuning (now Dongyang) in Zhejiang Province. He was the first ancestor of Si family. Si Dun (226-304) is the second son of Shi Wei, whose name is Youzhi, and his name is Kunshan. He was honored by the Lord of Wu as his filial son, official Yilang, and his hometown. Later generations called Shi Dun Xiaozi Gong. On the doorstep of Simin primary school, Kang Youwei inscribed the forehead of "Hans Xiaozi Temple". In the 21st century, Sichu (716-811) moved from Houlu village to jufande village at Gengchen (740). The 22nd Si Deyu (765-830) was a student of the Imperial Academy of Tang Bu, who was a sacrificial wine official. The twenty fourth Si Meng Zhong (843 -), the word fashionable, for the Tang Dynasty book Sheren. His son, Si Desui (864 -), whose name is Youxun, moved from Fande village in Dongyang to Shanglin, Zhuji, and became the first ancestor of Shanglin Sansi in Zhuji. It is said that in 884 ad, when he was only 20 years old, he went to Songjiawu, Shanglin, Zhuji (behind the tan family in today's Sizhai village, dongbaihu town). He saw the mountains, the ancient trees, the green bamboos, the spring water, the breeze, and the beautiful scenery. Under the shade of several big camphor trees, there are three thatched cottages, and the whole Songjiawu is also the only one, the owner's name is song. Only father and daughter depend on each other in the family, and her daughter is 16 years old, young, beautiful, smart and graceful. Unfortunately, since she was born, she never spoke. Her father thought she was dumb. So he came here to study. He was thirsty and had no body. He came to ask for tea to quench his thirst. When the dumb girl saw that there was a guest outside, she suddenly opened her mouth and asked her father to open the door. His father was very surprised to see that the visitor was tall, with good features, good appearance and elegant manners, so he treated him as a guest. In the conversation, the more he saw and talked, the more he liked and speculated. He went upstairs to ask his daughter. The dumb girl had seen clearly and heard clearly. He was very reluctant to meet her, so he nodded and agreed. Therefore, the Duke of song sought to make side his son-in-law, which means that if a dumb girl suddenly can speak, she will surely see a person of high reputation, and her husband and wife will love each other and become rich in the future. And then, in the ravine, he saw such a beautiful girl. He thought it was a match made in heaven, so he agreed. The story is recorded in detail in the genealogy of shanglinsi in Jiyang. Songjiawu in those days, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, has no old traces to find.

Three Si are upper Si, middle Si and lower Si. Today, there are still three villages: Shangzhai, zhongsifan and Xiazhai. Later, "Zhong" in the name of zhongsifan village was changed to katydids, which means "katydids Yanqing". Katydids are animals with strong vitality and fecundity. In this name, we take the meaning of offspring reproduction and human prosperity. Therefore, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present,
