Cultural relics and historic sites in Zhongcun Town

The plan of the Eastern Han Dynasty pottery house is "curved ruler", which is kneaded and fired with gray and white clay. The fetal bone is hard and the bottom is flat. The height of the house is 20 cm, and the base lengths are 18.5 cm, 19 cm, and 19.5 cm respectively, making it basically a square. The whole house is divided into two parts: the living area and the livestock pen. The living area occupies 3/4 and the livestock pen occupies 1/4. The living area and the livestock pen are completely separated by walls. The walls of the pottery house are marked with rice characters, diagonal grid patterns and horizontal and vertical lines, and the walls of the livestock pens are marked with arrowhead-shaped patterns.

From the outside, this house was originally covered with a yellow-brown glaze layer, but most of it has peeled off due to age. Based on its texture and style, and comparing it with similar artifacts unearthed from archaeological excavations in Guangzhou, this pottery house should be a clear artifact from the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was unearthed from a brick tomb behind the Shibi Brick Factory in Zhongcun Town. During the acquisition of cultural relics in 1979 Purchased, the remains of the brick tomb have disappeared. Kang Shuai's Mansion is located at the south end of Cross Street, facing south, covering an area of ??about 300 square meters, with blue bricks and stone feet. There are square steps in the middle, corridors on both sides, and in the center are a statue of the marshal sitting on a tiger leather chair, a wooden carving driving seat and a table curtain. There are gray sculptured flowers on the east and west exterior walls, portraits carved on bricks on the front, and wooden plaques on the door foreheads engraved with regular script: "Kang Shuai's Mansion". On both sides, there are stone-carved door couplets with bat patterns and inscriptions inscribed in inscriptions, "The door faces three mountains, green and beautiful, and the ten township couplets are majestic." "En Bo" was written by Chen Qikun, a Jinshi scholar in the twelfth year of Guangxu's reign (1886). There is a marble inscription in the temple from the second year of Xuantong (1910), and some of the writing is peeled off and unclear.

Kang Shuai was famous for his heritage, and he was brave and good at fighting. In the third year of Emperor Xianping of the Song Dynasty (1000), Liao soldiers invaded, and he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Gaoyang Pass. He resisted resolutely and killed his wife in times of crisis to show that he was fighting against the city and to encourage the soldiers. In the end, they were outnumbered and all died. Later generations felt their loyalty and built a temple to worship him. There was originally a Baima Temple in the east of Baima Rongyin Village, with a statue of a white horse in the temple. According to legend, this horse is very spiritual and can "patrol thieves". After completing its "official duties" at midnight, it will go to the pond in front of the temple to wash away the sweat stains of hard work. On the right side of the temple, there is an ancient banyan tree, whose leaves shade acres of ground. In the hot summer, the pond is filled with shadows of trees and bustling with business. People come here and forget to leave, without feeling the heat at all. The four characters "White Horse Banyan Shadow" on the forehead of the temple gate are elegant and uninhibited. They are the inscription of a letter written by Shawan Horie after he lost his sight. It is a rare work. Now the scenic spot has been destroyed, but the original plaque of "White Horse Banyan Tree" was still inlaid on the lintel of the entrance when the park was rebuilt on the original site.
