Village history

Dalu village was originally a land of Lushi and barren land, and it began to be populated in the mid-15th century.

The distant ancestor of the Lao family in Dalu ancient village was Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue in the Western Han Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty granted the surname "Lao" because of the meritorious development of Lingnan. It was granted the capital of Laoshan in Shandong Province, belonging to Wuyang County, Taishan County in the Han Dynasty and Wuyang County in the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, Lao Wei was appointed as the Lianxian officer of Guangdong Province, and his family moved to Nanhai county. During the Xianchun period, his descendant Lao Yuqing was appointed as Lingshan Xuebo and moved to Tanwei.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, laojing, a Confucian student in the county, lived in Dalu village. He was the ancestor of the Laoshi family in Dalu. He had been born for 19 generations and built sandatang, shuangqingtang and Dongyuan villas one after another.

By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, after the development of Lao's ancestors, it had developed from a Lushi community to a big village with 15 surnamed residents. It was named panlongtang, shanmuyuan, chenzhuoyuan, dongmingtang and other communities according to the original products or topographical signs. In order to make the younger generation remember the hardships of starting a business that day, they named the village Dalu village.

Village characteristics

Site selection concept

The Lao family, the ancestors of Dalu ancient village, came from Southeast China and moved to Lingshan from Shandong to Guangdong. Dalu ancient village is surrounded by mountains and green water, which embodies the basic elements of architectural geomantic theory.

(1) Pillow mountain: in the East, South and north of Dalu ancient village, the mountains are winding, and the mountain is not steep, forming a situation like Youlong. In the west, it is slightly open, and not far away, it is surrounded by the mountains in the north, so that the ancient village forms a relatively closed small environment, which is convenient for storing wind and gas, and has the foundation of "outstanding people, wealth, silk and prosperity". There are some ancestral halls in the village, such as laokezhong ancestral hall, which is the place where the Dragon veins of the ancient village are protected.

(2) Surface water: water is the basic needs of people's daily life and farming, and it is the guarantee for the survival of ancient village residents. Chinese geomantic theory sublimates the function of water to the height of "shade the earth, nourish the true Qi and gather wealth", and holds that the water near the village is the source of collecting wealth. There are water bodies in the north and the south of Dalu ancient village, and the rivers bend and flow. The tributary of Faqin river of Lingdong reservoir meets the requirements of Fengshui concept and is a treasure land of Fengshui.

(3) Five elements: from the beginning of building the first house, Lao's ancestors paid attention to geomantic omen, and deliberately created a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere with the surrounding environment. In the construction of the house, they not only considered the mountain and water, but also considered the harmony of the heaven, earth and human environment, as well as the mutual restraint of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. If there is no pool in front of the house, the pond will be dug manually to store water; if there is no mountain behind the house of "sandatang" and "shuangqingtang", the big wood (a kind of broad-leaved banyan) will be planted as "mountain", thus creating a kind of geomantic treasure land with "back against the green mountains and facing the green water".

The inside or the top of the walls are made of mud bricks. This is not only to make the outside of the walls be washed by rain and the bottom of the walls be able to bear the weight of the house firmly, but also to consider the phase of "fire, wood and soil" Sheng Xiangke, at the same time, it also makes the house warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is not humid when it comes back to the south.
