Taiwan village, Dengzhou

Taiwan village, Dengzhou

Taiwan village is located in Shangying, Xiaying and jianbingying (now known as Zhangxu Village), two administrative villages of Zhangcun Shangying and champion, 45 Li northwest of Dengzhou city. It runs across the road from Dengzhou to Neixiang, and is adjacent to toushui River and paiyu river. Taiwan village now has 45 families, 220 people, covering an area of 46200 square meters, belonging to the Chen family of Gaoshan Nationality in Taiwan. Today, their looks, personalities, weddings and funerals, and the appellations of their family members all retain the unique customs of the Gaoshan people in Taiwan.

history

According to the genealogy of Chen's family and Chen's Gaoshan people, their first ancestor was yinasiluo, who was originally a member of alisanzio tribe in Chiayi County, Taiwan. Born on July 16, 1646, when Zheng Chenggong and Huang Ting recovered Taiwan in April 1661, yinasiluo, 15 years old, was drafted into the army and was taken as a groom by Huang Ting's general. In 1668, he followed Huang ting to settle down in Dengzhou, Henan Province. He married a local Cen woman and changed her name to Chen Nian. They gave birth to four children, named Yuanzhen, Yuanxun, Yuanjie and Yuanzhu. In 1682, he followed Huang ting to conquer Taiwan again, and took his second son Yuanxun and his fourth son Yuanjie back to Alishan fanshe, Jiayi County, Taiwan. After his death in 1718, he was buried by Miaogou River in Xiaying village. Later, his four sons lost contact.

Culture

The Chen Gaoshan people have been developing in Dengzhou for 335 years since the time of yinasiluo. Now, some of the remains of Chen's Gaoshan tribe are: Chen's genealogy, the tomb and stele of inaro, the helmet, portrait and stele of General Huang Ting, etc. The discovery of this genealogy is the first in China, and it makes up for the blank of Gaoshan people's no written history. It has high academic value for the study of cross-strait relations and the history of Taiwan, especially Gaoshan people.

In the winter of 2002, by chance, in the home of Chen tangsan, the twelfth grandson of inaroslo in "Taiwan village", I found a Book of Chen's family ride, which has been kept for many years. This genealogy was compiled in 1867 by Chen Daoping, the seventh grandson of innasiluo. It was written by ancient Xuan paper and brush. This proves that the origin of "Taiwan village" is the history of faith, and also makes Taiwan villagers explore the hometown of their ancestors again. More than 200 descendants of Chen Yuanzhen, the eldest son, and Chen Yuanzhu, the fourth son, who settled in Dengzhou, also bid farewell to the Han nationality and changed to the Gaoshan Nationality at the end of 2002. In August of the same year, in order to commemorate the 356 year anniversary of the birth of the first ancestor inaro, Taiwanese villagers rebuilt the tomb of the first ancestor inaro and his wife, re engraved the tombstone, built a new archway gate tower at the entrance of the village, inlaid with "Taiwan village", and rebuilt the Gaoshan folk garden on the original site. At present, the Chen's Gaoshan people are preparing to rebuild the Gaoshan people's style garden (covering a total area of 90 mu, including Alishan rockery, Cao people's houses, hotels, noodle shops, parking lots and other leisure and entertainment facilities), ancestral hall, Mazu temple, Huangyan temple, steles, and statues of Huangting and inaro.

character

Since the discovery of Taiwan village more than 20 years ago, the current residents of "Taiwan village" have been the 13th generation of the descendants of inaro. The story spread to Wu Tianxi, a local Taiwanese businessman, in 2004. She was moved to come back to Taiwan to help find the descendants of Chen's second and third sons. Finally, in 2005, we found Chen Zongren, the head of the Chen family in Taiwan, and Chen Mingli, their younger brother. They still live in the "maodigan society" recorded in the Chen family tree in Dengzhou, and they also have the same ancestral story from generation to generation.

Central People's broadcasting station and people's Daily overseas news. China Construction Magazine, the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, Wangren daily, Taisheng magazine and CCTV all broadcast the situation of "Taiwan village" one after another.

Tu Zheng

"Without Tu Zheng, there would be no Taiwan village in Dengzhou," said a retired member of the Dengzhou municipal Party committee.

Mr. Tu is fifty and eight years old. He is thin and quiet. He has a strong sense of immortality. Years of painstaking efforts make him look older than his actual age, but his eyes behind the lens still flash with admirable wisdom. Generally speaking, a man of great wisdom must have great clumsiness. The language ability of people who are used to writing is sometimes not up to standard. From time to time in his spoken language, there are some words that are difficult to understand. However, when he speaks, his gesture range is large and appropriate, which is helpful for his explanation. Mr. Tu Zheng said: his hometown is a river away from the place where Luying people live. In the mid-1950s, when he was in primary school, he felt that the classmates with Luying were different from the eldest brother of his family. When he went home to ask his parents, he just said, "they are Luying people! From the south! " In the spring of 1983, Tu Zheng, a young clerk working in the county government's Taiwan office, saw a report on the first census in 1982 on the desk of sun Yungui, then deputy secretary of the county Party committee. Since then, he has made an indissoluble bond with the research of Gaoshan ethnic group in Taiwan village.

At that time, Tu Zheng was young, full of vigor and enthusiasm. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, the work content of the country for the "escaped Taiwan" (Cultural Revolution language) personnel and their families has just been transformed. He rode his bicycle around the corner of the county, family by family to understand the situation, publicize the party's Taiwan policy, and write reports in time. He will never forget Huang Zihua's relatives, the crying blind old mother, sitting at the entrance of the village telling him about her son. He will never forget that one day a few years later, he finally put her son's letter from Taiwan in her hand! At that moment, he deeply understood: what is more important in the world than maintaining family ties?

It is also such a belief that he has been pursuing the roots of inarthro, monawadan, Kiwa mausu and dimodao for decades! Taiwan - mainland, brothers - family, he understood more and more that every family has a deep feeling of brothers on both sides of the sea! He wants to let everyone in the muddle know their blood line, and they can miss and meet their relatives at the other end of the Strait! He thought, there must be a day!

According to him, "success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He." because of the work of the Taiwan Affairs Office, he began to study the Gaoshan people in Dengzhou. It was also because of this research that he left his beloved work of the Taiwan Affairs Office. Over the years, how much effort has he devoted to interviewing, looking for relevant information, studying zupu, and looking hot and cold in the wind and rain? How many grievances have you suffered? How much joy have you had? Chunhua and Qiushi, he knows: his life has been firmly linked with everything in Taiwan village, and he can't break it off......
