Humanity and nature

Zhangjiatai village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a tributary of Zihe River in the north of the village, where the river meanders for 2 kilometers. This river is a seasonal river. In summer, mountain springs gush out and the river water increases sharply. In order to facilitate the pedestrian traffic on both sides of the village, a stone arch bridge, called "38 bridge", was erected when the rural road to Changzhuang was built in 1978. The bridge is 8 meters wide and 16 meters long. Along the old street in the village, not far away, you can see a deep stream with a bridge called "Daxing bridge".

There is a monument beside the bridge, which was praised by Zhang Daoyi, a famous person in Laiwu in the Qing Dynasty. More than 100 meters ahead of Daxing bridge, there is the famous "Dayu Mountain House" site in the circle door beside the road. It is the former study site of Mr. Zhang Sijiao, a famous Qilu scholar in Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty and a soldier in Yulin of Shaanxi Province. There is a stone tablet, which records the name of Dayu Shanfang and the reasons for its establishment. However, as time goes by, the ancient elm has disappeared, and the "Dayu Shanfang" site stele in the early years of the Republic of China still exists. Zhangjiatai is the hometown of Zhang Daoyi (Zhang Sijiao) in Qing Dynasty. There are many anecdotes about him, which are often mentioned by the villagers in zhangjiatai village. Not far from the east of the ruins of "Dayu Shanfang" is the site of the original village primary school. To the east of the school is an earthen temple, which is located on the Phoenix Terrace, a famous scenic spot in the village. The earth temple has disappeared. Close to the southwest of the temple, there was a two-story hospital building for wealthy households, which was the highest building in the village at that time. During the Anti Japanese War, it was burned up by the Japanese devils.

There are four gates in the village. The so-called "four gates" are the living areas of the wealthy families in the village. When Zhang Dao, a poor scholar, went to Beijing to take the exam, he failed repeatedly. When people inside the four gates saw that Zhang Daoyi was a successful scholar, they encouraged him to take the exam and helped him with his money. But after all, his ability was limited, so he left zhangjiatai village to live in nanwenzi village. Later, Shunzhi was a Jinshi in bingxu and became famous at one stroke. Today, villagers still feel guilty when they talk about it. In the middle of the village, there used to be a temple for emperors. It was a place where villagers prayed for good weather and peace. It was demolished during the cultural revolution. There are 10 ancient trees in the village. It is said that they were planted in Hongwu year of Ming Dynasty. Each tree is thick enough to be hugged by several people. Unfortunately, the only one left fell to the ground and died in 2001. People in zhangjiatai village have been paying attention to the cultivation of crops for generations. Before liberation, sorghum and millet were mainly planted. Due to the backward mode of production, the output is very low, and the villagers live in hardship. After liberation, wheat, corn and sweet potato were mainly planted with reasonable density. Production has increased. Farmers have basically solved the problem of food and clothing. Especially after the implementation of the contract responsibility system, the enthusiasm of the villagers is unprecedented, and the grain production has increased sharply, becoming a well-known high-yield village. The villagers are generous and selfless, fighting for public grain and selling surplus grain to support national construction. In recent years, under the guidance of the township government, the villagers adjust the industrial structure and develop cash crops. Some of them planted Zanthoxylum bungeanum on the edge of ditouyan. Now the Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees in the mountain have begun to take shape. Some of them planted apple trees and peach trees in a large area, and some of them planted greenhouse vegetables. The aquaculture industry has gradually become a large scale. Zhangjiatai village is known as "butcher". Even in the 1960s and 1970s, some people slaughtered pigs and sold meat to earn money to support their families. After the reform and opening up, they obtained information, aimed at the Boshan market, and set up a one-stop service industry of breeding, slaughtering and sales. Chen Huaili, Chen Huaijun, Guo Yuhu, Pang Yunmin and other big families emerged. When they got rich first, they also led a large number of villagers to set up this industry. Now there are dozens of slaughterers in the village, which has become the pillar industry of the village. Due to the geographical conditions, drinking water has become a major problem for villagers since ancient times. Every year of drought, the villagers have to step on the uneven Qingshiban Road, cross the Wenzi ridge to yangjiaquan and xiangshuiwan, 10 miles away, to pick up water for drinking. It's a miserable trip. During the Xianfeng Period of the Qing Dynasty, the villagers, together with the villagers of zuojiayu, dingnanyu and Xiquan, used the ancient way to find the water source. Finally, they found the water source one mile north of the village, dug more than 40 meters deep, and finally drilled a well, which initially solved the draught problem of the village and its neighboring villages. In November of the eighth year of Xianfeng (1859), to commemorate this event, the villagers set up a stele beside the well, with the inscription of "Immortality". This well is the well-known "Xue Jia well" far and near. Villagers commonly call it "Xue Yuan Jing". Due to the large number of water users, the well head stone is grinded by the well rope, forming a number of grooves. According to records, the wellhead has been changed three times. There are 55 ditches on the existing wellhead stone, which are more than an inch deep. It can be seen that the villagers are hard to use water. After liberation, in order to solve the problem of villagers' water use, successive village committee branches raised funds in many ways. They successively drilled more than 10 wells, built channels to divert water, and built water buildings. Now, every household in zhangjiatai village has eaten sweet water from its own wells. Zhangjiatai village has a glorious revolutionary tradition. During the Anti Japanese War, under the leadership of Zhang Fuji, Guo Lanxin, Guo Lanfu, Zhang Jichun and others, the villagers launched an arduous struggle against the enemy. Zhang Fukuan, Wang qinsi and other anti Japanese heroes emerged. Many people gave their young lives. During the war years, the villagers of zhangjiatai were enthusiastic about the revolution, actively joined the army, supported the front line, donated money and materials, and made indelible contributions to the establishment of new China. On the Korean battlefield, Zhang Decai and Zhang Linxiang gave their precious lives to resist US aggression and aid Korea. People in zhangjiatai village have attached great importance to education and civilization since they built their own village. Zhang Daoyi, a famous person in Qing Dynasty, said that nine out of ten students he taught should take the exam. Before liberation, there were private schools. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, literacy classes and literacy classes were set up. In 1965, zhangjiatai village built a primary school with the largest scale and higher standard in quanchangzhuang commune at that time. The school has 22 classrooms with basketball court, table tennis table and other sports facilities. Because the villagers attach importance to education, the cultural quality of the villagers has been greatly improved. Since the resumption of the college entrance examination system, more than 80 people in zhangjiatai village have been admitted to universities and technical secondary schools. The first college student in zhangjiatai village is Zhang Jingcai. In November 2001, the new village committee tried to get more funds and invested more than 600000 yuan to build a new high standard school with an area of more than 10 mu and a building area of 15 million square meters. It was put into use in March 2002. The new three storey teaching building can accommodate 10 classes. Zhangjiatai village also attaches great importance to cultural life. Lion dance, a folk art, is well-known in four neighboring villages. During the Spring Festival, villagers spontaneously organize lion dance to enliven the village and enrich people's cultural life. During the revolutionary war and the construction of the motherland, many excellent children were sent to the country. Zhang an Taiyuan was the military officer of the Embassy in North Korea; Zhang Yunxiang was the county magistrate of Ruyang County in Henan Province; Zhang Tianzuo was the county magistrate of Wu'an County in Zhejiang Province; Zhang Fuhong was the director of the Standing Committee of Hangzhou Municipal People's Congress; Guo Lantian was awarded the title of national model worker. Now the college and secondary school students from the village are struggling on different fronts to contribute their strength to the country. In 1968, electricity was connected to the village, and in 2000, cement roads were laid outside the village. Now, telephones and mobile phones have become popular in every household. In order to invigorate the economy, some people in zhangjiatai village today ride motorcycles, some drive tricycles out of the mountains, or engage in construction, decoration, or maintenance, and some have become entrepreneurs and general managers with little reputation. In order to adapt to the market and enliven the economy, the village set up a market in 1999, and there are many shops along the river. (1) Sanba bridge: in 1978, the construction of "female stonecutters' company" in Xiquan District of Changzhuang commune was completed on March 8, so it was named "Sanba bridge". Daxing bridge: it is a famous scenic spot in the village, according to the inscription
