Beautiful legend

Zheng Village at the top of the mountain originates from a beautiful legend. It is said that in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, Meng Wugong, surnamed Zheng in Dongyang, was carrying a hunting general and was hunting everywhere. One day, when he arrived at Zheng Village at the head of Nanshan Mountain, the general who was hunting bullets on the ground was as if he had a root and could not move any more. Meng Wugong thought, is it the general who wants me to stay here. He looked around, only to see green hills around, Ruixi slowly past, is an ideal village base. As a result, Meng Wugong built a house beside Ruixi and settled down. He married and had children. After hundreds of years of reproduction, he had the mountain village of Shantou Zheng and the family of Nanshan Zheng. The thousand year old camphor at the entrance of the village witnessed this magical story, which is recorded in detail in Zheng's genealogy. This story is also passed down from generation to generation among the villagers.

In memory of this beautiful legend and the memory of the ancestor Meng Wugong, the descendants of the Zheng family built a special shrine beside the old street in the village to worship the magic bullet hunting general. Every year on the first day of the lunar new year, the villagers of Zheng family come to the shrine with Wuwei porridge to pay homage to the general who brings good luck to the villagers. There is a couplet on both sides of the Shrine: "in Xingyang County, Meng wukai, Jichang, Wandai and tongdeli's descendants have made a fortune all over the world", which not only shows the origin of the village of Zheng at the top of the mountain, but also tells the prosperity of the Zheng family in Nanshan.

Century old western style house

At the peak of the mountain, Zheng Village was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with more than 2000 people at its peak. In history, as the center of Nanshan for a long time, Shantou Zheng Village reached its peak in modern times and was known as "little Shanghai". Eight or 90 years ago, there were dozens of western style houses and more than 20 concrete balconies in the village. These are also one of the earliest concrete balconies on the rooftop, which still stand a hundred years ago. There are more than ten houses in the village, such as the four storey house of Zheng Renshan, the richest man in Nanshan of the Republic of China (the former District Office), the former district post and telecommunications office, the former district police station and Tingquan building. These western style houses are ingenious in design, exquisite in architecture, exquisite in materials and large in number. They are living western style houses museums of the Republic of China. For example, during the period of the Republic of China, Renshan's former residence installed and used tap water, used bright glass windows, and built security facilities such as lookout tower and machine gun hole. After liberation, his family house could afford Nanshan District

The office space of the district office. The original owner of the post and telecommunications office was a president of the court in the Republic of China. His house is a three entrance courtyard with a combination of Chinese and Western elements. It is exquisitely designed and integrated with many Suzhou gardens and Western elements.

Kilometer old street

Qianmi old street in the village has always been the most prosperous street in Nanshan. In the old days, it was called Ruiping street as "one of the top ten cities" in Tiantai and "little Shanghai". Every third or eighth market of the lunar calendar, people come to the market around ritanling, Leifeng, Linhai Huangtan and Baishuiyang. Since the reform and opening up, due to the barrier of mountains and inconvenient transportation, a large number of villagers have moved to the city with the pace of urbanization and industrialization. In addition, the cancellation of district offices and the merger of schools have gradually restored the tranquility of the bustling mountain village, making this millennium old village better preserved. Up to now, there are two cross street buildings, "tongdeli" teahouse, Tongde primary school, Herui pawnshop, enguangpaimen site, luojiangjun temple, lietan general, Millennium ancient camphor, etc. Walking on this old street, time seems to return to the Republic of China. At present, we can still feel the original rural market on the third and eighth day of the lunar calendar every month.

The old village was originally rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty with five ancient ancestral halls and one stage. The main ancestral hall and stage were demolished in the 1980s and 1990s and turned into a school playground. In a short period of more than ten years, the school network was removed and merged, and now it has become a long grass wasteland. Although the ancestral hall has been demolished for many years, the magnificent architecture and exquisite carving of the ancestral hall are often mentioned by Zheng's descendants. From the location and size of these plates, we can still imagine the magnificence of the ancestral hall.

Farming, reading and inheriting

The ancestors of the Zheng family attached great importance to education. As early as the Ming Dynasty, they established Tongde Academy. The children of the Zheng family received the influence of knowledge in the Academy, and they were the first in the county to allow women to enter the school, and then they went out of the mountains to travel around the world. Due to the emphasis on education, Zheng Village at the top of the mountain has a large population of talented people. During the period of the Republic of China, Zheng Sihan, a general of the Anti Japanese War, and Zheng Renshan, an enlightened squire, were famous in the countryside. It is said that Zhao Mengfu, a great calligrapher of the Yuan Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Xingjiao temple in Nanshan for four years. He was a close friend of Zheng's ancestors and often came to the mountain to write Zheng's poems. Zheng's children worshipped Zhao as their teacher and learned calligraphy from him. It has been handed down from generation to generation that there is a tradition of practicing calligraphy among the villagers. Zheng bingchang, a villager, has a lot of money in every word In the 1980s, he wrote the most beautiful word in the history of human culture - "Xiu". Zheng Genzhi, a villager, won the national calligraphy award.

The lines are flowing like clouds and flowing water, natural and smooth, just like the colorful ribbon of a beautiful dancer on the mountain, magnificent and magnificent It's hard to see.

The beauty of Zhengcun terraces is mainly reflected in its large scale, multi-level and four seasons.

The golden rape flowers and the green wheat fields, together with the peach trees, red maple and pear trees around the terraces, depict the beautiful lines. In the evening, the setting sun sweeps by, and the lake, mountain, flower sea and terraces are intertwined Let someone press the shutter of the camera. You can see the four seasons.
