historical origin

Yantian, Wuyuan -- a village of Royal descendants

For thousands of years, the surnames of Li, Zhu and Wang, who moved in later, have built many public buildings in the settlement for the needs of life and psychology. For example, there are Yan Tian Li ancestral hall, Li Zhi ancestral hall, Yi Xu hall, Li Zhi ancestral hall, Bao Shan hall, Zhu Zhi Xu Temple, Zhu Jing AI temple, Zhu dunmu temple, Zhu Zhi ancestral hall, Wang San Huai temple; and there are Siling temple, Longhua temple, Yongji Temple, Cuiwei temple, etc. Most of these have been destroyed in social changes. Most of the remaining houses and shops (the ancient streets in Yantian village and the cross-border roads of Hui and Rao prefectures in the old days) have been dilapidated or rebuilt

According to the records of Wuyuan County records, in Yantian, the Li surname flourished in the Song Dynasty. There were 24 village people who entered the Jinshi rank. They were Li Shiyan, Jinshi of Jiayou xinchou (1061), Li Zhiji, Jinshi of Jiaxu (1154), Li Guanzhi, Jinshi of Gengchen (1160), Li Bing, Jinshi of Renwu (1162), and Li Xingcheng, Jinshi of Chunxi xinchou (1181) Li zeshen (1189), Li Daduan and Li Ji (1193), Li Nan (1205), Li Shanghe and Li Shengzhi (1211), Li Deng and Li bubao (1214), Li Jiayou (1217), Li Kuan (1229), Li Zhenzong (1241), and Li xinchou (1241) Li Tailai, Li Shi, Li Nianzu, Li Bi Shan, Li Tao, Li Lei Yu, Li Yingkui and Li Wu Chen, Li Bi Shan, Li Bi Shan and Li Lei Yu. Although there are many people who have ascended the rank of Jinshi, because their ancestors were determined to move from the field, only Raozhou Tongzhi Li Shiyan, the right servant of the Ministry of punishment Li Zhiji, Dali Shicheng Li Guanzhi, Nankang Tongzhi Li Shengzhi, Li Jiayou who will be the supervisor, huaidong pacifier Li Nianzu, Guozi Jijiu Li Bishan, Zhongshu Sheren Li Tao, Wuchang magistrate Li LEIYU and Yuhang county magistrate Li are appointed as civil and military officials above grade seven There are 10 people in Yingkui. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, most of the villagers were poor in farming, and they saw that business was profitable. Therefore, many people from poor families were forced to leave their hometown to seek a livelihood, and embarked on the road of "serving all sides" and "taking business as their life". According to the records of Wuyuan County annals, Yan Tian's businessmen at that time are: Li Congyun, "tasted Jia in Kaihua"; Li Zhenzhen, "followed his father in business in Jinling"; Li Quanyi, "at the age of 12, he was accustomed to planning and skills, and later worked in Mu Hu Guang"; Li Xiuwen, "served Jia in Xinzhou"; Li Zhengjun, "served Jia in Xinzhou for decades"; Li Rulin, "worked in tea in Shanghai"; Li fadong, "at the age of 16, followed his father in business in Jiang" Zhu Chengchu, "trade Jiangxi"; Zhu Tinggao, "18 years old, abandon the Confucian businessman Guangdong"; Zhu Tingjie, "middle-aged business tea, with his younger brother Zhan Chun, go to East Guangdong" and so on. It was these enterprising and pioneering people who went out generation after generation. Although they got rich in business and brought back a lot of silver, they still could not compensate for the loss of talents, so that Yan Tian no longer had the proud achievements in the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

In history, Yantian village had built "zhenzaoyuan", "xuejingxuan" and "zhongyingxuan" to teach rural children. For this reason, there were also some literati in the village, such as Li Hongrui's collection of Luzhou poems in the Qing Dynasty. According to the annals of Wuyuan County, Yantian had two famous doctors in the Qing Dynasty. One was Li Zhenji, who was good at Qihuang and lived a lot. The other was Li zhenchen, who was good at Qihuang and lived a lot.

Regional characteristics

The northeast side of the village is "Chuancao gorge". "Wuyuan County annals" records: "the mountains are very picturesque. There are five big and small boat troughs. In the past, there was water in the troughs, and the villagers crossed in the troughs with wooden boats. There are two caves under the stone screen. It is said that there are caves in the cave, which lead to Poyang Lake. There are sun mountain and moon mountain on the left and right. " In Xianfeng Period of the Qing Dynasty, when the Taiping army fought in Wuyuan, it passed Yantian and Chuancao gorge many times. On February 12, 1861, Li Shixian, the prince of the Taiping army, fought with the Qing soldiers in Jialu, and severely damaged them. After that, Zhao Yulian and Zeng Wenqing, the generals of the Taiping army, were killed, and then encamped in chuancaoxia. On the left side of Chuancao gorge, there is "Qingluo cave" at the foot of Rishan mountain. "There are Tianzun xingdaoyan, hulaifeng, huashoshi, tianzhushi, Zhitian, Shizhong, shigu and patio in the cave. Xuan Yilang, Li Yanhe and Zeng goujing gave up here and wrote the title of their scenery: "the green rose is printed on the moon." Zhang shunchen, a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem "Qingluo cave" which says: "the peaks and mountains are ethereal, leaning on the Qingyun. You can inquire about the past and the present. The name of shedi cave is old, and the ink on Tang Xianshi is still new. Haze unlock dust-free trace, anther can stay not old spring. He was born in Taoyuan, but he was still in the carving wheel in the Qing Dynasty. " In addition, between the upper and lower Yantian, the county set up "Yantian inspection department" in 1564, with 30 bowmen; in 1580, the county withdrew.

The most praiseworthy is the "Shuikou" in Yantian village, which can be regarded as one of the outstanding models of the ancient practice of Fengshui theory. Shuikou, in Miao Xiyong's "the wing of burying scriptures", is the gateway of one place, and it should be "the source of all the water in one place". As Wuyuan is located in the mountains, most of the villages are surrounded by mountains, forming a relatively closed complete space, so Shuikou naturally becomes the throat of the village, and is regarded as a gathering place related to the rise and fall of the village people's wealth. Feng Shui believes that water is wealth. In order to retain wealth, trees are often planted at the water entrance, bridges and towers are built to increase the momentum of the key and hold the pass. This layout is based on the theory of ancient geomantic omen, and improves the environment and landscape of the village, forming the overall environmental characteristics of the village, which is "green tree village, green mountain and green mountain outside". Besides the Shude bridge, which is planted with giant camphor and erected horizontally on the stream to "collect wind and gather Qi", the Shuikou of Yantian village is decorated with buildings such as Defu Pavilion, Siling nunnery, Qinquan, Buddha pillar and shuidui, which not only makes the Shuikou tightly locked, but also shows the glory of the family.

The giant camphor at Shuikou, Yantian, is more than 1500 years old. The ancient camphor tree is more than 20 meters high with a diameter at breast height of 4.3 meters and a crown width of 3 mu. The ancient camphor is vigorous and vigorous with uneven branches and leaves. Compared with the "No.1 camphor in the south of the Yangtze River" in Hongguan village in the north of Wuyuan, its diameter at breast height is 90cm thicker than that of Hongguan ancient camphor. Experts from the forestry scientific research department once said: in terms of the history and trend of camphor trees, they can be called "the best camphor in the world"
