It is understood that Yushide Hall has a long history. According to legend, Li Shichun, a bachelor of Hanlin in the Ming Dynasty, once served as a bachelor in the palace, teaching the son of Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Li Er genial smile that the Qing soldiers entered Shanhaiguan. Portable Crown Prince Zhu Cilang fled to Fujian. Li Er heard that his nephew Li Zhijian built Shidetang in his hometown of Songkou, and returned to Songkou to build most of the buildings of Shidetang according to the palace model. In order to make Zhu Cilang proclaimed himself emperor and regain his light, he had a palace.
Ming Wang and Zhu Cilang left other "traces" in Songkou. March 19 of the lunar calendar is the day when Emperor Zhu Youjian hanged himself. Therefore, on March 19 every year, Li Er Hehe will pay homage to the late Emperor, calling this day "Sun's birthday", which is still regarded as a folk festival by local Hakkas. Li Hanqian told reporters that every year on March 19, their whole family would get together to worship their ancestors for fried noodles. This custom has existed since he was sensible and has been circulating for many years.
On the tire of Shidetang, there are three litchi trees with tall branches and lush foliage. With the naked eye, the tree is nearly 20 meters high, and at least four or five people can hold it together. Li Hanqian said that Yu Shide Hall is located in a higher terrain, and it has plenty of sunshine all year round, especially in summer, so the ancestors planted litchi trees to adjust the yin and yang of the house. Li Hanqian also revealed to reporters that litchi trees were planted when the house was built. They are the same age as Shidetang and have a history of nearly 400 years. There were seven trees at first, and four of them died because of too long time.
The reporter saw and heard about ancient houses, ancients, ancient styles and ancient trees. Of course, Hakka Dragon House still needs ancient wells. Come out from the gate, turn right and pass through two small doors, and the vicissitudes of the ancient well will be displayed in front of you. Li Hanqian told reporters that this well has never been destroyed since it was just built. Well water is warm in winter and cool in summer, clear and sweet. Their family has been drinking well water for generations, and now they have been drinking well water for generations. The reporter saw that the water wells that have been used for nearly 400 years are as good as ever, except for the deep rope marks along the well.
Finally, Li Hanqian told reporters with concern that although the descendants of Li who lived in Shidetang would renovate the tile beams and walls of the house from time to time, they were all minor repairs. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes of life, Shidetang has fallen into disrepair in many places, and now it is in urgent need of repair and protection.
It is reported that in order to create a cultural tourism characteristic area in Meizhou, Guangdong Province, in recent years, the Meizhou Municipal Government has been committed to the protection of ancient villages and ancient dwellings, especially the second seminar on the protection and development of ancient Chinese villages held in Meizhou recently, which provided a strong impetus for the protection and development of ancient village resources in Meizhou. Local people believe that with the attention and participation of local government departments, the complete historical features of ancient villages will definitely add a strong cultural atmosphere to Meizhou, a hometown of overseas Chinese.
