Xiao Xianzhang was an official in Xianfeng's ten years. He was honest, upright and resentful. His reputation made the four tricksters scared. In order to quell the vicious struggle between Meilong village neighbors in Haifeng, he spared all his family's wealth and saved a village surnamed Huang. In the 11th year of Xianfeng, the Emperor gave two decrees, which were written by Xiao Xianzhang's mother and grandmother in praise of him. On the linen, it was written with a brush: "flatter the emperor's edict" with neat wording, which attracted people's attention. One of the purposes is to praise Xiong, the mother of Xiao's charter, for his "warm and respectful nature, meekness of heart, prudence in dealing with his husband, preparation of four virtues, bringing up his son by flowing his emblem, and diligence in developing his six talents". It means praising Xiong's ability to teach his children and make them become talents. To leave a wealth of spiritual wealth for future generations.

Little castle

The north and West gates of the ancient village and some people form a small castle. In the castle, there are Xietian palace, beidiye temple, ancestral halls and dwellings of several surnames.

The north gate was first built in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. The lower part of the wall is made of green stone, and the upper part is made of green brick with holes for defense. There is a grey plastic dragon on the roof. A stone arch is opened on the west side of the gable. There are three words "Daxing gate" in regular script on the door. To avoid Beisha, five grey plastic bats are installed on the "Daxing gate", which means "five blessings come to the gate" and turn evil into good. When you turn right into the arch, there is another arch. This means that the north gate opens to the West.

It was a spiritual sustenance under the condition of underdeveloped science at that time.

The ancestral hall in the castle is exquisite and dignified. Carved beams and painted buildings, even the door couplets and window lattices have auspicious flowers and animals.
