History and culture

Gugubei is an ancient town in Yiting, Hubei Province. It has a history of more than 1000 years. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. The arrangement of mountains, rivers and topography predestined the way out for the ancient docks with water on their back. There are five docks. The earliest is Miaohe wharf. At that time, the pavilion was called xingshanfang. Xingshanfangdu refers to the ancient ferry of Miaohe, an ancient town. In the eighth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, the Wang people, who moved from Anhui Province, set up the "Wang Taifeng" business in the ancient beixiazheng street. After the opening of the business, the business is running smoothly, and the purchase and sales are booming. Wang, a shrewd man, built a gauze cargo terminal in Zhibu street near the river, which is the earliest commercial terminal built by private businesses in Yiting. "Wang Taifeng" builds wooden boats to transport and sell goods to Jingsha, Wuhan, Suzhou and Hangzhou. Ancient people carrying boats and carrying feet also gather in the Liushu river. These people live here from other places and make a living. Gradually formed the boat Gang, Lixing. In 1915, Shashi "helizhen" and "Hengji" steamship companies opened Yichang route, set up a passenger (cargo) terminal at the ancient port, and carried local products and daily necessities in and out of the ancient port with the ship. At that time, the introduction of the textile industry gave birth to the prosperity of various industries. Weaving street in ancient town emerged as the times require. The ancient town has become a commercial goods distribution center with a radius of hundreds of miles. At dusk, groups of horses and porters, carrying or carrying all kinds of mountain products and cotton yarn, come into the old street in groups. The ring of the bell of the horse gang has stirred up a stir in the ancient business town. This is the golden age of business and trade in the ancient town. In the three and a half streets of the ancient town, there are many sails and masts on the wharf, mules and horses on the trestle. According to Yidu County in the general situation of Hubei county administration in 1934, the most famous author of Jiangbei commerce and trade in Yidu is ancient back In 1940, Japanese invaders invaded Yiting, resulting in the interruption of ancient Beihai shipping. In June 1943, the Japanese aggressors created the "ancient back Massacre" at the wharf of Xinzheng street, killing 122 villagers and injuring 120 people, leaving deep pain to the ancient town. In 1960, the original "Wang Taifeng" wharf was taken over by the Yangtze River shipping company. Every morning, before the siren of the "shayiban" passenger ship sounded, the workers of the ancient town handling station proudly stepped onto the pontoon of the passenger terminal, picked up the large cargo bags weighing more than 100 Jin and climbed up the embankment. After the summer harvest, the road is full of carts pulled by cattle. The sack contained barley and wheat. There was a long line in front of the grain warehouse beside Wangjia lane, all the way to the inner dike of the ancient town. There are people selling food everywhere. In autumn, this kind of bustle will be repeated. This is cotton. The bulging flower bags on the wheelbarrow are bursting, and they crowd each other on the road, making the narrow road narrower. At this time, the three docks on the ancient back were too busy every day. Wooden boats from south to north are often docked on the docks, bringing in department stores, coal, lime, cement, sand and gravel, and carrying away grain, cloth, cotton, pigs in the winter of 1977, the Sichuan Han natural gas pipeline highway was rerouted to the ancient back and crossed the river by car ferry in the old street of Guzhen. On this day, I saw a red bus blaring its horn into the ancient town. The ancient town is boiling up, and the old people who have been waiting for a long time rush to get on the bus. From then on, the long-distance shuttle bus from Changyang passed through Yiting, and reached Zhijiang, Dangyang, Shashi, Wuhan and other places through Shamao mountain in Yunchi. The freight cars across the country crossed the river by ferry through Yiting, and reached Enshi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou in the 21st century. The convenient land transportation easily replaced the water transportation. The "Shayi class" of the long voyage has stopped, and the old ferry has also stopped. Old street, only the ferry terminal, other terminals gradually covered by moss. The people of the ancient town have spent many years in surprise and joy. After years of precipitation, they have been used to it and are indifferent to it.

Positive energy people

Ma Guangming, a resident of Tongling community, gugubei street, Yiting District, was driving his private car from Yiling avenue to Jianghai Road at about 9:30 a.m. on March 27, 2019. He saw a van sliding towards the middle of the road with a double flash. Passers-by hurriedly gave way and yelled: "hit, hit!". When he found that there was no driver in the cab of the van, Ma Mingliang immediately turned the left steering wheel and stopped the runaway van head-on, while the bumper and lights of his private car were seriously damaged. It turned out that the driver of the van stopped at the side of the road to unload the goods, and the handbrake failed, causing the vehicle out of control and hitting pedestrians. A total of three pedestrians were injured after the van got out of control. It was because Ma Ming Liang drove it to a stop that more serious accidents were avoided. Ma Liangliang, a Chongqing native, is a car Hailing driver. He bought the car in August 2018 and cherished it at ordinary times. However, at a critical juncture, he did not hesitate and resolutely chose the damaged car to save people. Ma Mingming is conscientious, down-to-earth and willing to work in his work.
