Out of admiration for Mr. Zhao Lantian, the painter, I came to beginning of winter once again, and I arrived as scheduled. This is also a harvest season, but those ears of wheat that are like flames are now harvested into golden rice grains. Apart from the glory that the stars seem to be reserved, she is more gentle and gentle than wheat, and should be born in heaven. If wheat lives sharp and keeps pace with the times.
The beam and pavement of the gate bridge in the village head, which has been in disrepair for a long time, have been rebuilt. In the center of the white marble railing, "Tangba Bridge" is engraved. It is noted on the forehead that this bridge is a reconstruction project for rural highway dangerous bridges and was built in October. Looking closely, the red paint trace has not yet dried out. This bridge is the first sluice bridge in Shiyan, which was built in 1964, and it played a great role in resisting natural disasters such as drought and flood, seawater intrusion and so on in Xizhuang West Wei of the commune at that time. According to the information, the structure of this bridge is wave stone slab brick, and the foundation of the bridge slope protection is made of stone and brick. I don't know much about it Because of the negligence of Xiaoman, I was annoyed for many days and immediately walked down the shore to see the whole picture of the bridge. The old structure is used in the bridge foundation, and the faded cement slope protection is engraved with three official characters of "Daxing Wei", which is vigorous and dignified. Look at the slope protection, the blue bricks on the top are exposed, and the collision between the boats on the water surface is really like a rocky overlap, which is quite imposing. Recalling that the guardrail was broken in the first few months, there was this change, and I couldn't help but praise the construction unit for its ingenious construction.
The small market is still quiet, and the warm sunshine slowly penetrates through the translucent awning, which looks like smoke from a distance. There may be three or four old people in the storefront all the way, and there are one or two middle-aged people playing chess, chatting, drinking tea or squatting in the corner outside the door to bask in the sun. In this early winter morning in the countryside, people are busy living, vaguely retaining the old customs after the busy farming, and the alert villagers no longer look at it with curious eyes, nod their heads and meet each other. Being accepted by people is like a kind of happiness, and the mood is suddenly like the gentle winter sun in the sky, extending aimlessly in the alleys extending in all directions in the small village. The so-called "love me, love my dog", according to the previous initial visit, the results of combing some relics made me love this dam, and the legends scattered in the village, the old houses with blue bricks, the carved forehead and so on all showed its unusual history. Biruo's tall grain depot gatehouse, the pier with phoenix pattern, especially a pair of exquisite doorways engraved with pan length and crane at the entrance of Yangjia Lane, were mostly inserted into the ground, and were used by villagers in front of Shi Gandang, who exorcised evil spirits. After more than 51 years of vicissitudes, it still retains the elegance of the original scholarly portal.
If Stone Street first saw the situation of the old man Lu Deshan, the owner of the bean curd shop, and villagers kept coming around to talk about it, all the old people showed remorse, I heard the most sentence: "Many good things were lost. If everyone had a little sense of protection before, the current pond dam would not be much worse than Zhouzhuang in Suzhou!" What is revealed in the words is helplessness. In the wild dog and white clouds, people sometimes weaken the inheritance and protection of their hometown, which only increases the difficulty of retelling their history. But even after some annihilation, some surviving monuments, old buildings, or inconspicuous past family affairs have been repeatedly talked about by the villagers. For example, the Zhao family in Bashang is divided into North Zhao, South Zhao and Wild Zhao. The so-called southern Zhao has more official landlords, while northern Zhao is mostly civilian tenants. Their ancestors used to be brothers driven away by Hongwu. Wild Zhao is to go to the dependent foreigners and so on, and it is also a gain to listen. Time is like a complicated net, and every node may hide a historical fact or glory.
Cao Hongzhen, a villager, enthusiastically took me to see the yellow bud tree (it should be boxwood, there is no such thing as yellow bud tree in encyclopedia, and it is strange that people in my hometown always pronounce it yellow bud tree? Is its tender leaves shaped like yellow buds? ), while pointing to the shape of the South Street archway, she only remembers that it is one. "There is a stone pile under the archway. There is a crazy woman in Tangba who climbs to the stone steps every day and shouts: Wow, big elephant! I don't know what this means, sixty years ago. " He also pointed out the mistake in my previous photo: "This guide is Wei Huaikou, not surnamed Zhao. He used to be a secretary here. His family lived in a butcher shop. I used to be a neighbor with him, otherwise I didn't know about this archway." The old man bent down from time to time all the way and opened the red sandy rock exposed by weeds at the foot of the wall, saying that this house is also a stone on the archway. I measured a relatively complete stone with a ruler, which is 271×35×41mm, and there is no mortise and tenon on the end face. It is strange that there is a bluestone with similar size side by side inside this stone. It can be seen that the width and height are also 35×41mm, and there is no mortise and tenon. The stone strip is roughly a column member or a step stone. I walked through another corner where most of the corner was cut off, and the upper end was built into an alley like a pile of silver ingots. The old man told me that there were still several places on this "harmonious and profitable" blue brick building dam. The lingering voice became firm and proud: "Look, this is the tree!" " Poplar trees grow in a gap between the front and back gables. The trees are about eight or nine meters high, with towering branches and green Gu Zhuo, but there is no trace of withering in the gale. Go forward and lock the door, only to hear the dogs barking in the hospital. The old man said, "The owner is afraid that Didi will not be at home. This tree has been facing outwards for 311 years, and it is built in the middle. You can't see the tree inside. This family is surnamed Zhao, and the house is also an old house. It was requisitioned by the Tangnan Brigade during the land reform, and then the policy was implemented and returned to others." I looked up at the polished brick lintel, and suddenly touched upon the story of the old house on the dam told by the villager I met outside the village, the former captain of Tangnan Brigade, Rudgard: "There are two places where the Tangba is best preserved. One is the original Zhao Xiu's club of Tangba Village Branch, and the other is Zhao Hongben and Zhao Hongye's family in the south of Zhuangzi. The master's name is Zhao Huishan. I heard that his family came to the Tangba from a foreigner to join the Zhao family. The house goes through the hall in front and back. Although it is not as big as the village branch, it is relatively complete. There is also a historic yellow bud tree inside, which can be seen. " In the old Taizhou area, there was a custom of planting boxwood in large families, which originated from the theory that boxwood avoided fire. Because its wood was hard to burn and its leaves crackled when it met fire, it was planted in the corner of the courtyard to play a fire warning role. This tree grew very slowly, commonly known as "Millennium Dwarf", and few people grew into big trees during the changes of the world. Therefore, there was a saying among the people: "A mulberry tree in a thousand years, a locust tree in ten thousand years, you should use boxwood to reincarnate and come back." I've never seen such a tall boxwood tree in Shiyan. It's just a bunch of low roots in flowerpots. I've seen a 211-year-old citron tree in the commune compound. I always remember to sneak in carefully and pick a few fruits in autumn, and put them on the bedside when I come back. It seems that I can't eat them. Even if you sometimes hesitate to pick it, there are iron party associates in school who have stuffed this big and fragrant round fruit into your schoolbag. However, when I was wandering in Jijialou, I met such boxwood. The treetops may be a little higher, the tree diameter is about 31 cm, and the branches and joints are staggered, which is vigorous and simple. Because the next door has already collapsed, standing on the ruins, you can look through the fence, and the frost-like tree scales are thundering. If the dumplings are soaring, the branches are graceful and the forest is cold and sorrowful, and you don't feel like Nan Ke's dream. The colleague explained: "This tree is about 211 to 311 years old. In the early years, a villager named Wu broke a branch and wanted to make a seal. Who knows that he is seriously ill? So far, no one in the village dares to touch it." The story is a coincidence, but as the saying goes, people move the living tree to move to death. There may be ghosts and gods in the blind rope, so stay away from them.
Though the dam is small, it is full of people. Before Xiaoman's visit, I sorted out the relevant trivial historical materials in advance, and found that since Zhao Shengdong was selected as a tribute in Qianlong period, Tangba Village has doubled its talents. For example, Zhao Zengrong, a supervisor, Zhao Guangcheng, a literary student in Daoguang period, Zhao Guangyue, a juror in Guangxu 8 years, Zhao Wei, a food student in the first year of Xuantong, Zhao Wei-shu, the head of Tangba Mingxin Primary School in Xuantong 2 years, and Zhao Wei-duo, a literary historian, were members of Jiangsu Education Association in the late Qing Dynasty, and served as assessors and officers of the Provincial Education Association respectively. At that time, it became a common practice to study and persuade students to learn, and the spirit of sages covered Shiyan town, which was pampered in the same period. Officials and scholars emerged one after another, reaching a peak in the 1931s. The representative figures in this period were: Zhao Yiduo, Zhao Lantian, Zhao Gengquan, Zhao Gengboring, etc. There were many talents, and the whole Xixiang was unparalleled. For more than 81 years, this name is little known today. Among the many villagers who have contacted so far, only the 82-year-old Zhao Fuzhou of Tangba replied: "zhongshan town, right?" History itself will not die, only human memory will die. Biruo said goodbye to the villagers under the lonely prospect of boxwood trees. The blue wind is frantically grabbing the hidden gray hair tips under the headscarf, and the train is generally speeding. Who will record the years of ordinary members? And the image of "Big Running Elephant" may just be a ray of light in the chaotic women's spiritual field, regardless of whether there is an escape of clouds and wax elephants in the real world.
The documents about Tangba are lost, and all we can retrieve are historical evolution, out-of-context characters, and messy memories and legends of villagers. Tangba, also known as Tangba, has been one of the forty-eight villages under the jurisdiction of Shiyan Township in the grass-roots governance of gentry since Dongtai County was established in the thirty-third year of Qianlong (1768), and it has been extended to the Republic of China. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the township autonomous region system was implemented, and Zhongtangbazhuang was placed under the jurisdiction of Daxing Wei City (Jijialou). In the eighteenth year of the Republic of China, the district and township system was implemented, and Shiyan Town was the resident of the sixth district of the county administration. The original Daxing City was under the jurisdiction of Shiyan District, and Tangba was renamed township. In the merger of towns and villages below the district level in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, zhongshan town was established, with Tangba as its resident and Tangba, Sujiazhuang, Yangjiaduo and Mengjiaduo as its jurisdiction, which was one of the 18 towns and villages in six districts of the county. In the thirty-sixth year of the Republic of China, it was renamed Daxing Township in the expansion and merger of towns and villages. After liberation, the democratic government was renamed Tangba Town, which was one of the eight townships and three towns in Shiyan District. In 1952, the county was renamed Tangba Township in the adjustment of administrative areas. In 1956, in order to adapt to agricultural cooperation, it was merged into Zhenzhong Township in the form of advanced cooperatives. In 1957, the area was withdrawn and merged into Shiyan Township. Since then, it has gone through the establishment of the people's commune production brigade and township administrative villages. Between heaven and earth, it is still charming. It's all the rage and fun, not to mention the high wall of the 18 courtyards of Zhao's, the vicissitudes of the century-old house on Stone Street, the memorial archway of filial piety that was destroyed to the ground seems to be screaming, and a colorful Tangba town exists like a mirage. When I got the Family Tree of Zhao in Tangba from the residence of Zhao Shuyun, a descendant of Zhao in Stone Street, the life experience of Mr. Zhao Lantian was more clear. Although several pages of the newly compiled genealogy table only dated back to his father's parents, even some names in the genealogy were incomplete and vague, such as his brother Zhao Shushu, who was remembered as Zhao Zheshu, it was a great contribution to the author, clarifying the jumble of characters in the villagers' stories.
Zhao Xiao □ (Family tree is missing words. The date of birth and death is unknown), the word Danfeng, was born in Tangba in the late Qing Dynasty, and his three sons were Zhao Zhushu (tree), Zhao Zhuming (word Xianfu) and Zhao Zhutong (word blue sky). The genealogy was mistaken for Zhao Wei. The personal information about Zhao Danfeng was almost annihilated. It was a chance to meet the old captain Lu Degao outside the village, and his little story made up for this vacancy: "There is a person in Zhao's family named Dan Feng, a Chinese student, who revolutionized with Sun Yat-sen earlier. I can recite it, too. As early as before the Revolution of 1911, he returned to Tangba to prepare for the uprising. In the past, there were barren fields in the west of Zhuangzi, and he planned to build weizi to establish a stronghold and wait for an opportunity to rebel. After his mother knew it, he tried to stop forcing him to die. He was a dutiful son. Because of his mother's opposition, he soon died of depression. He wore a suit and tie before his death, and sometimes he wore a new military uniform. He had a grand appearance and extraordinary bearing. At that time, people were all mandarin jackets, gowns and melon skins, but his clothes were quite scraping, trendy, open and different. After the founding of the Republic of China, Shao Feng (the eldest son, Zhao Yushu) went to Nanjing to find Sun Yat-sen, and Sun Yat-sen made him a member of Jiangsu Province. I heard these words from the old class when I was a child. When the Tangba was liberated, I couldn't have heard a gunshot. " According to his oral speculation, Zhao Danfeng should be an official of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty? In what capacity do you elect the donation officer? None of them took the exam, or the situation was anecdotal, but I got some obscure hints in the collection of Zhao Yushu's life.
Zhao zhishu (1876-? ), the word Shaofeng, an advocate of new learning in the late Qing Dynasty, actively engaged in the work of "promoting learning, raising funds, delaying teachers and donating property". When the Jiangsu Provincial Society (later renamed as the General Council of Learning Affairs, the General Council of Education and the Education Association) was established in Guangxu 31 (1915), he served as an annual reviewer from B to C (15-16) and participated in the reform of educational affairs in the province. In the second year of Xuantong (1911), Tangba private Mingxin second-class primary school was established, which was one of the early new schools in the county. The original school address was located in buddhist nun, Wangjiaxiang, Nanbei Street, Tangba, and famous teachers from Taizhou and Jiangyan were hired to teach, such as Zhao Enzhan, Liu Zhibi, Bian Yuheng and others. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the school was renamed as a private elementary high school in Daxing Wei. Due to the plan to build a new school and the difficulties in running the school, Shen Bin, Zhao Junsheng and others were invited to give lectures on a voluntary basis in Bashang. In 1913, Daxing Wai City Education Association was established in Tangba, and Gu Huai was recommended as the president to promote national education. In 1914, the Second Primary School of Daxing Wei City was established in Tangba, with Zhao Xiao as the principal and Chen Mingde as the teachers. At the same time, a publicity center is set up, where young teachers preach government decrees, read newspapers and farm work, educate villagers on social morality and enlighten the people's wisdom. In 1924, the two schools merged into the third primary school in Daxing City, and in 1934, they became the junior primary school in zhongshan town, which was forced to close down due to the fall of the war. Until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the school resumed classes in 1946, and its name was "zhongshan town National Central School in Dongtai County". In order to expand the teaching target, at the initiative of his son Zhao Shanruo and his third brother Zhao Lantian, the address was moved to the ancestral home of Zhao's eighteen houses in the east of the village, which significantly solved the difficulties of a large number of poor tenants' children in studying, such as the childhood literacy of villagers Ji Guoyin, Zhao Deming and Zhao Fuzhou. In addition to focusing on education, Zhao Yushu has also devoted himself to local public welfare affairs, political reform and democratic deliberation. In the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, as a member of our county gentlemen's society, he set up a storage warehouse in Tangba, which was used for disaster relief. To be responsible for the collection of public funds and public welfare donations for public property in Zhuangshang, raise funds for autonomy and be enthusiastic about public affairs, plan and rectify the education of people's livelihood, such as school affairs, roads and bridges, village sanitation, prohibition of opium gambling, etc., so as to avoid the useless expenditure of public funds on folk dramas, god-rewarding competitions, etc. Influenced by the "village doctrine" of Zhang Jian, the president of the Provincial Education Association, charitable and public welfare organizations such as the sympathy club, the rice market, the workshop for the poor, and the coffin and burial place were also established in Daxing and Tangba. These reform measures aimed at "running the affairs of one's own hometown with the money of one's own hometown" and upholding righteousness not only brought Tangba from stubborn family management into modern institutionalized rural construction, but also established Zhao Ju-shu's actual position in local administrative affairs in the next 21 to 31 years, which made the population, education, agricultural and commercial economy and village scale of Tangba maintain stable development in historical changes, and laid the foundation for later setting up a township and building a town out of a natural village. In the Revolution of 1911 in 1911, as the main member of the county business branch, he actively participated in the Dongtai recovery plan headed by Yang Baoyin and Ding Litang, and quelled the troubles caused by the "Huainan Anti-smuggling Camp" of the Qing garrison. On October 6th, 1913, Zhu Jingxing, Zhou Jiayong, Chen Kang, Meng Duo, Gao Luan and other six people in the county were elected in the first re-election of Jiangsu Provincial Assembly Members (address: Nanjing Dingjiaqiao Former Consultation Bureau), with a total of 161 people elected in the province. But also because of the eligibility to vote.
