History and culture

Lizhuang site

Lizhuang site: a national key cultural relic unit. Also known as "Shantai Temple site", it is located in Lizhuang village, Shenqiao Township, Zhecheng county. It was named after the Shantai temple on its base site. Lizhuang site is mainly composed of Longshan cultural relics in the late Neolithic age, and contains more Yueshi cultural relics. Longshan culture dates from 4200 to 4500 years ago. At this time, agricultural production has accounted for a considerable proportion. Farming and handicraft production technology represented by stone grinding and rotary pottery have reached a high level. There are many kinds of pottery with various shapes, beautiful shapes and fine decorative patterns. Since its discovery in the 1970s, Lizhuang site, with its rich cultural heritage and valuable cultural value, has been included in the Henan volume of the atlas of Chinese cultural relics in 1985. In 2000, it was identified as the third batch of cultural relics protection units in Henan Province by the people's Government of Henan Province. On June 2, 2006, it was officially approved as the Sixth Batch of key cultural relics protection units in China by the State Council. there is a "nine oxen sacrificial pit" with nine whole oxen and one deer head, which makes the Longshan culture of Shantai Temple closely related to the Shang civilization. In Shiben · Zuozhuan, "he Zuozuo subdues Niu"; in Chuci · Tianwen, "Ji De should be respected Hu Zhong's malpractice lies in the presence of Hu, the herdsman, cattle and sheep; Guan Zi · Zhong Qing Wu, the king of Yin people, set up a soap prison, serve cattle and horses, and benefit the people; Yi · Lu Shangjiu, Wang Hai's loss of cattle lies in Yi. "He" and "Gai" both refer to the ancestor of the merchant, Wang Hai of the seventh generation, "Zao" is the trough for feeding cattle and horses, "Lao" is the pen for raising cattle. These records show that Wang Hai, the ancestor of the seven dynasties of the pre Shang Dynasty, invented the ox cart. Wang Hai drove an ox cart and used silk and cattle as currency to do business among the tribes. The ancestors of Shang Dynasty used cattle to drive and sacrifice. After Wang Hai died, there were as many as 300 cattle for sacrifice. Mr. Zhang Guangzhi, a famous Chinese American scholar and tenured professor of Harvard University, believes that the close relationship between the ancestors of Yin Dynasty and domestic cattle was not found in the ancestors of other dynasties. There are nine cattle in a sacrificial pit in Lizhuang site, which shows that the sacrificial importance and the status of the sacrificial person are unusual. There is no precedent for this discovery in the Longshan cultural site.

Important enterprises

Hanbai Mingyue distillery cultural legend: "Liu Xiu was robbed by a single soldier, and made a nine fold battle with the help of good wine" when Liu Xiu set out to attack the usurper Wang Mang, he was defeated in a mess because of his weak power, and only escaped from the encirclement by himself. Wang Mang cut grass to get rid of the roots, so he sent out heavy troops to pursue him. When Liu Xiu fled to chenxiangduiji (today's Shenqiao township), it was late at night. Due to the mixture of grief and anger, a poisonous fire attacked her heart, and a big sore on her back began to ache. Liu Xiu can't bear the pain, so she sleeps in a tavern where Chen Xiangyu gathers. the tavern was opened by an old man surnamed Zhang. He looked at Liu Xiu's difficulties, but he had a great bearing. He served Liu Xiu good wine made from sticky grain. When the wine is warm, the tavern is full of fragrance. Liu Xiu smelled the wine and drank several bowls. Soon after the attack, Liu Xiu felt hot and dry, so he took off his clothes and drank. The wine flowed to the sores on his back, which made the sores itch. Liu Xiu scratched it with her hand, but she was so drunk that she poked her finger on the candle and ignited the wine on the sore. Intoxicated, Liu Xiu did not care. When he woke up the next morning, Liu Xiu found that the poisonous sores on his back had healed. After Liu Xiu became emperor, he thought of his benefactor and wine when he was on the run, so he decided to find an old man to make his own wine. In order to give the wine a name, Liu Xiu and the queen agreed to write two poems each, with the first word of each sentence as the name of the wine. Liu Xiuxian wrote two verses: "the eternal mountain of Hanshi, the great justice of Baigong, the light of Daiyue." The empress pondered for a moment and said, "the bright and round soul rises to the sky, and the moon and the Qiongjiang soothe the ancestors." As a result, Liu Xiu granted the wine "white moon in Han Dynasty" according to the agreement. Later, Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint, took the formula of Hanbai Mingyue wine out of the palace and used the wine to brew Chinese medicine, making it more effective. It is said that in the compendium of Materia Medica of Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen also said that "this rice wine can be used as medicine, kill all kinds of evils, poison gas, dredge blood vessels, thicken intestines and stomach, moisten skin, disperse dampness, and relieve worries..." It's a record. In April 1990, Zhao Qingqing, a famous doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in our province and former president of Zhongjing National Medical University, visited the second people's Hospital of Zhecheng County in Shenqiao township for consultation. At the reception, Zhao Qingqing found that the rice wine that he tasted was probably the Han Bai Mingyue wine recorded in Zhang Zhongjing's medical books. After the activity in Shenqiao Township, Zhao Qingqing returned to Zhengzhou with sample liquor and conducted more than two years of clinical trials in Zhengzhou hospital of traditional Chinese medicine. Clinical trials showed that the wine had the effects of Warming Yang and dredging collaterals, relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation, dispelling wind and dispersing cold, strengthening spleen and stomach, strengthening heart and soothing liver, which was completely consistent with the Hanbai Mingyue wine recorded by Zhang Zhongjing and Li Shizhen. Shenqiao people see business opportunities in the coincidence of historical legends and reality. In 1993, with the support of the township party committee and the township government, Li Guangyi, a native of Shenqiao, invested in the construction of Henan Hanbai Mingyue distillery. He began to brew Hanbai Mingyue wine with the secret recipe of Zhang Jia's ancestors, and with the help of Liu Xiu's historical legend, he focused on promoting the products. After 14 years of development, Henan Hanbai Mingyue distillery has developed into a leading liquor making enterprise in Shenqiao Township and even Zhecheng County, with 198 employees and 14 million yuan of assets. Its product sales have spread all over the country. The series of products developed by Henan Hanbai Mingyue distillery have won more than 20 awards at home and abroad, including Panama International Gold Award. In 1997, Hanbai Mingyue wine was designated as a special wine for the celebration of Hong Kong's return to China. In 2004, its products were exported to Japan. Nowadays, with the spread of moving legends, Henan Hanbai Mingyue distillery plays an increasingly important role in the economic development of Shenqiao township.

Millennium willow weaving technology

In Shenqiao Township, the wicker weaving technology of white stripe weaving has been handed down for nearly a thousand years. Nowadays, the processing and production of willow handicrafts has become a traditional industry centered on anmiao village, radiating kongmiao village, Shenqiao village, Xiwei village and other villages. More than half of the villagers' income comes from Willow processing. Shenqiao Township willow planting area of 3000 mu, annual output value of nearly 50 million yuan. there is a very distinctive requirement in the willow weaving process in Shenqiao Township, which must be carried out in the cellar in winter. The so-called cellar, is about 2 meters away from the ground to dig a room size cellar. Due to the appropriate humidity in the cellar, when the climate is dry in winter, weaving wicker crafts such as dustpan and fence can keep wicker humidity and prevent wicker from drying and breaking. In addition, the cellar is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is suitable for labor. This cellar has gradually become an indispensable part of willow weaving technology. According to Wang Kaixin, Secretary of anmiao village branch, in the past, most families in the village had this kind of cellar. Wang Yeliang, director of the party and government office of Shenqiao Township, said that in the 1970s and 1980s, farmers engaged in Willow processing in Shenqiao Township had signed agreements with the provincial foreign trade department, and then processed their export products according to the contract. At that time, a large market of willow weaving handicrafts had formed near the township center and anmiao village, and the supply of willow weaving dustpan and basket processed by farmers was in short supply. In 1995, the relevant provincial departments came to investigate and found that Shenqiao township was the largest willow planting and processing Township in Henan Province. in recent years, there has been a new trend in willow weaving in Shenqiao township. Many vendors have taken the initiative to purchase willow products processed by farmers in various villages, and some of them are engaged in willow weaving business
