Introduction to the Festival Pavilion

Filial piety Pavilion is the product of feudalism and the symbol of maintaining feudal morality, but it also has its educational significance in real life. Filial piety is the first of all virtues. It can promote national governance, national unity and family harmony. It is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

Before liberation, there were many places of the Festival Pavilion, but they were all destroyed by nature or man-made. Only mianpu village could keep it well, so it was more valuable.

Located in mianpu, Jiexiao Pavilion is a well preserved stone tablet square with simple architecture and solemn shape. The pavilion is about 6 meters high and 6.7 meters wide, all made of granite. The shape of the pavilion is four large square stone pillars (half a meter square), which form the three mountain gate. The middle gate is 3 meters wide, and the left and right gates are 1.5 meters wide. On the top of the column, there are stone beams, inlaid with stone slabs, carved with the four characters of "Tian Bao Jie Xiao". On the next floor, there is a stone imperial edict plate. On the top and around of the pavilion, there are cornices and brackets, which are beautiful in shape.

The festival and filial piety Pavilion in mianpu was built by Zhang Ruixiang, the supervisor of the Qing Dynasty, for his mother Lin Shukuan. Lin Shukuan was born in the neighboring village of JiangHao (Hezhong Village). At the age of 17, she married Zhang Zilong, a scholar in mianpu. The next year, she had a son, Ruixiang. The husband and wife were harmonious and the family was happy. Unexpectedly, when Lin was 21 years old, there was a plague. Zilong and his father died one after another, and his family became widowed. Lin was pregnant again, and later gave birth to his second son Ruiren. There are old people and young children in the family. Although they have some property, they are lonely and in a difficult situation. Shu Kuan's father saw that his daughter was young and burdened, so he advised her to remarry. But Lin Shukuan is a strong martyr. She is determined to be a widow. She will never abandon her old mother-in-law and the two children of Zhang's family. The father's persuasion failed. In a rage, she threatened her daughter to sever her relationship with her. Shu Kuan said without hesitation, "no matter how poor Zhang is, I won't bother you. From now on, I won't step into the door of marriage." Since then, Shu Kuan has been a filial mother-in-law and a strict teacher of her second son. She has earned praise from the villagers for her self-respect in farming and weaving. Later, when Ruixiang grew up and was a student supervisor in the exam, he told the court about his widowed mother's filial piety. The investigation by his superior proved that it was true, so that a filial stone workshop could be set up outside the rear gate of the village to praise Lin's filial piety. Also set an example for future generations.

Introduction to mianpu

Mianpu, formerly known as "mianpu", is located on the Bank of Beihe river of Rongjiang River, Pandong Town, Dongshan District. In 1951, it was combined with four surrounding villages to form an administrative village called "Beihe village". It was founded in the third year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1370). It was moved from tianxinwei, Puwei Township, Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. When the village was founded, we expected future generations to be prosperous and prosperous. Therefore, the word "mian" is used. As for the word "Pu", one is to commemorate the ancestral residence of Zhangpu County. Second, Chuang village is located by the river, so it is called "mianpu". Because "mian" and "mian" are homophonic, many people call it "mianpu", so it has become a convention.

Mianpu village is a plain area, close to the river, with canals and ditches. There are 1870 mu of arable paddy fields. It has always been dominated by agriculture, planting rice, water transportation and fishing for fish and shrimp. Mianpu people are diligent and hard-working, and they are also the hometown of raoyu outside Ximen. After the reform and opening up, mianpu people took advantage of this opportunity. The family handicraft industry, mainly hardware and electrical appliances, has developed rapidly, from manual production to machine production, from small workshops to large workshops, and from domestic sales to export. Almost every family has its own industry. Agricultural villages have become industrial villages. Some factories are linked to famous universities. Some enterprises pay a lot of money to hire famous teachers as technicians. Originally, after liberation, only Chengxi village outside the west gate of Rongcheng City had the sideline of ironmaking, but now mianpu village is ahead.
