Historical evolution

Louta town has a long history, and is located in the three city centers of Xiaoshan, Fuyang and Zhuji. The mountains are surrounded by mountains, the peaks are steep, and the terrain is dangerous. In particular, Xiaoshan and dahuangling, the boundary range of Fuyang, are the throat passage between eastern Zhejiang and Western Zhejiang, and have always been the battleground of military strategists. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were many wars. In Lin'an, Dong Chang recruited local soldiers and Qian Liu was a partial general. Later, Dong Chang served as the governor of Hangzhou, and Qian Liu served as the military envoy of Duzhi. In August of the second year of Zhonghe (882), Liu Hanhong, an observer of eastern Zhejiang, planned to annex western Zhejiang and sent troops to Xixing village by Qiantang River. Qian Liu led three thousand troops, crossed the Qianjiang River twice and entered the camp, which greatly defeated Liu Hanhong. In March of the next year, Liu Hanhong dispatched troops to three towns: Huangling, Yanxia and Zhennv. Qian Liu led his troops to conquer three towns, and Liu Hanhong was defeated in Zhuji.

After defeating Liu Hanhong, Qian Liu built a flag on the hill of yanwukou to celebrate victory. At the foot of Zhoukou mountain, Qian jianzhoukou river is like a dragon, Xianyan mountain is like a tiger, and the strategic position is very important. "After the land type sand accumulation, I'm afraid I can't bear the foundation of ten thousand years", so I used an axe to test the stone on the stone wall of Zhoukou mountain. After chopping 18 axes, he found that the rock was brittle and soft, so he gave up the plan of establishing a state, and decided to set up an army garrison in Huangling and garrison his nephew Lou Jin.

After Lou Jin guarded Huangling, he saw the beautiful mountains and rivers along the Zhoukou River, where there were fields to cultivate and firewood to be paid. On the sand dunes in the south of Zhoukou River, zhaojifa people formed villages and developed into market towns, which were called Loujia pagoda (pagoda means earth mound).

Louta town belongs to Changshan Township in Song Dynasty, ten capitals in Yuan Dynasty, and it was still Changshan Township in 1910. Louta town was named in 1930, but it was changed to Changshan town in 1939, until the founding of the people's Republic of China.

History and culture

Louta, known as "Xianyan" in ancient times, was named after Xu Xun, a famous scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who lived in seclusion here and was said to have emerged as an immortal. The territory has beautiful scenery, green mountains and streams, lush pines and bamboos, and green all the year round. Wang Bo, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem in Xianyan, saying: the towering and strange stone stands on the Bank of the river. There were hidden expeditions to fish for flowers, ancestral halls in the East, temples in the west, and fragrant flowers under qingfengyan. Louta has been a market town since the end of the Tang Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1100 years and has a rich cultural heritage.

Historical celebrities

As early as the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Lou Ying, a famous doctor, wrote compendium of medicine, which preceded Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica. Lou dianying was the main general of Lou Yongfu's "black flag army" in the late Qing Dynasty. After the Treaty of Shimonoseki, he fought bravely in Taiwan to fight against the Japanese aggressors. On the eve of liberation, Ms. Lou Manwen was a pioneer of women's movement. During the Anti Japanese War, Lou Weiqing, an ordinary farmer, was killed because he didn't want to be a porter to the Japanese aggressors and scolded them. When he died, he was righteous and showed noble national integrity. Later, Zhang Zhizhong, a senior general of the Kuomintang, wrote a large plaque in his own hand, which was sent to the tower and hung in the central hall of the central ancestral hall.

Folk Art

"Xi Shi fan" is a folk music of Lou TA. The melody is elegant, clear and melodious. According to folklore, "Xi Shi fan" is to praise Dayu's contribution to water control. After being processed by folk music, it is composed of three tunes: "dressing platform", "a gun" and "eight boards". After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was revised: the dressing table was changed to wangzhuangtian, a gun was renamed as a stream, and baban was changed into Bafan to express the joy of farmers' bumper harvest.

But judging from the original name of Qupai and its musical instruments, it originated from song and dance music of Tang Dynasty and CI Pai of Song Dynasty. Its original intention was to praise the public morality of Lou Jin, the ancestor of Lou family. In March of 883, Qian broke through Huangling and Yanxia towns. Lou Jin was a general under Qian's command. He made a lot of contributions in this battle, so he was named the history of East Vietnam. "A gun" in the Qupai is full of the lingering charm of Lou Jin's triumphant return. After several generations of constant revision of the performance, it has today's pattern.

Local Customs

In the hot summer, "Chinese New Year", throughout the country is rarely heard. On June 14 of the lunar calendar, loutajiashanwu village ushered in a unique "half year festival". For the villagers in jiashanwu, "half a year" is an important festival in a year, next only to the Spring Festival. The villagers usually kill pigs, chickens and ducks, wrap rice dumplings, set off firecrackers and feast guests. This lively scene is the same as the Chinese New Year. On this day, relatives and friends who have been busy for half a year have come from all over the world to celebrate the new year in this summer.

About the origin of this "half year" festival, the most popular "saying" among the villagers is that in that year, jiashanwu suffered a severe drought, rice could not be planted, and sweet potato and bamboo all withered and yellow. It is said that Mr. Chen of Kewu mountain in Zhuji has the power of rain. The villagers who are eager for rain immediately sent for his memorial tablet to be put in the temple. After living in jiashanwu for a month, Mr. Chen was homesick and promised the villagers that it would rain heavily the day he was sent back to Zhuji. So, on the 14th of June of the lunar calendar, the villagers beat gongs and drums to send Mr. Chen back to Zhuji. On the way back to jiashanwu from Zhuji, the villagers suddenly had a heavy rain in the scorching sun. So the rain is also called "huidianyu". Since then, jiashanwu village has a "half year" festival in memory of Mr. Chen and his wish for good weather.

Another way of saying is: Once upon a time, the imperial court recruited all the young and middle-aged people in jiashanwu, leaving only the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled in the village. Seeing that their relatives are going to travel far away, they don't know when they will be able to return to their hometown. The villagers decided to celebrate the new year ahead of time, so that their relatives who are going far away can not leave until this summer's new year. Since then, the custom has been handed down to this day. Even during the cultural revolution, when the sculpture of Mr. Chen was destroyed and it was forbidden to celebrate the festival again, "half a year" festival continued in the villagers' furtive activities. In today's affluent life, the significance of "half a year" festival has become more of a gathering of relatives and friends, rather than a need for praying for rain or blessing.

Interestingly, Muling village, which is close to jiashanwu village, also has a "half year" festival every year, but their "half year" Festival is on the first day of June.
