Machong scenic spot

Ma Yong was in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the people were rich and the style of writing was at its peak. People understand the needs and enjoyment of cultural life and pursue them in succession. I am very particular about local celebrations and scenic appreciation. After several discussions, it was confirmed.

Machong water town is picturesque. It is famous for its "Eight Great Scenes" and "Eight Small Scenes".

These eight famous scenic spots are: Fishing Songs in the East China Sea, Sea of Clouds in Nantan, Xiyuan Night Market, Banana Rain in Beiya, Night Scene in Kuilou, Huaqiao Buddhist Temple, Banyan Tree with White Crane and Guiyi Bell.

Donghai yugo

Ma Yong faces the east and lives by the sea. The name "East Sea" (traditionally called "East Sea" by local people) came from this. This sea array is Dongjiang, with lion ocean and abundant fish production. Therefore, the indigenous people have a superior geographical position and many people are engaged in fishing. Fishing boats are densely packed and dotted. Every time the sun sets, the fishing boats continue to go home in 3355, and there are faint songs, from far and near, from sparse to dense, which converge into a sea song to eliminate the fatigue of a hard day's work. In the meantime, some people sang nonsense songs; Some sing funny salty songs; There are also two couples who answer each other in the song, thus forming a relationship. In the evening, the more energetic the singer is, the more moved the listener is.

Nantan river transportation

Nantan, located in the south of Mayong, used to be a base. However, this place is connected to Jiaotang (formerly Panyu) in the south, and it is widely connected to Wanshui sand. Overlooking from this base, the endless rice fields are really fields and buildings, and its area is so wide that it is difficult to estimate in the blink of an eye. Especially when autumn is ripe, when you look up, you can see that the ecliptic is ripe and glittering, which complements the gorgeous sunset glow. It is really a spectacle composed of lotus, clouds entering the lotus, the interweaving of lotus, golden rice in the field and rosy clouds in the sky, which makes the viewer relaxed and happy. How could they leave suddenly?

Xiyuan night market

Xiyuan Market is located in Wuyuanfang, Mayong (now around Masi No.4 Small School). It was built in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty and was the distribution center of Mayong commercial port at that time. At this time, the Machong area began to take shape, and the clan settlement was initially determined. It is necessary for people to choose a place to build a market. After the opening of Xiyuan Park, there were many shops, fish and shrimp stalls, and food processing shops, handicraft workshops and restaurants were set up one after another. Businessmen, shoppers and tea drinkers gather here. Whenever night falls, fishermen return home, foreign cargo ships dock, take advantage of pots, bargain in the market, hawkers sell, and laughter comes from restaurants. The lights are red and green, showing a lively and prosperous scene. This is the beautiful scenery of Xiyuan Night Market.

The market faces Yuan Sha, Compassion and Ren Dong in the east; Dongye Township in the South (Military City: Ma Xian Second Village); Beitong Chongren Square, Dongning Square, Shixinfang, Xining Square; The fifth stream and the third stream of Xihui River flow into the Pearl River, meandering and swimming, extending in all directions, and it is a unique commercial place.

With the increase of population and the improvement of geographical environment in Mayong, the market moved to Chongren Square in Mayong in the second year of Qing Shunzhi (1645). Since then, Xiyuan City has been replaced by Ma Yuan City.

Banana rain in North Asia

Beiya Ji Jiao is located in the north of Mayong. This place is blessed with fertile soil and produces bananas, which is the essence of Mayong specialty. The scenery here is beautiful and unique. Outsiders know that banana leaves can block out the sun, but they don't know that they are funny and unattractive in the rain. Really, it doesn't rain, but when it rains, the leaves are swaying in the wind, falling against the falling raindrops, like a large symphony orchestra, skillfully playing crisp and melodious piano music, like mountains and rivers, which is exciting. But sometimes the wind is full of rain, and there are whining sounds like resentment, admiration, weeping and tearing, and the lingering sound touches the wandering Qiu Si and the poet's elegant chanting. At this time, this scene naturally reminds people of the famous ancient poem "Banana Should Rain But Not Clear" and the famous Cantonese song "Rain Beats Banana". How to express my feelings in the face of beautiful scenery. However, after a rain, the whole banana forest took on a new look, and Chiba was green in the fresh air. Red buds with raindrops are in bud; The buds after the rain are like mushrooms, soaring and extraordinarily enchanting. Without rain, this natural and beautiful picture cannot be formed; Without rain, it is impossible to be evergreen and fragrant, and enjoy the elegant name of "Lingnan Good Fruit". The rain is coming, and the style is completely new.

Kuilou Wang Wan

Kuilou, located in the southeast of Masi, was built in the eighth year of Ming Dynasty (1654). Lady Xiao used civil servants to seal off the martial arts and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Tired of politics in his later years, he returned home. He built the building freely. The building used to be four stories high. Although there is no place for the champion to kick the bucket, it has a secluded place to enjoy the scenery. There is a garden under the tree, with pavilion trees on both sides. Masters often quote classics here, enjoy flowers and fish, and enjoy their old age until they die at the age of 65. Later, in the late Ming Dynasty. The building is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Mayong. Whenever the sun goes down, you can broaden your horizons by climbing a flight of stairs. This is the same as the ancient people boarding Yueyang Tower, feeling relaxed and happy, forgetting all the insults, and sprinkling the breeze, which is refreshing. Wiping your eyes, you can see the lion ocean of water and water in the southeast, and the vast and boundless cliffs are spectacular; The Lotus Mountain in Yun Shenchu is faintly visible in the dusk, and Dai Dai is vivid; Lotus Pagoda, like a pillar of the sky, stands tall and has the tendency of "competing with the sky"; Teams of silver cranes from east to west, interspersed in the twilight clouds, it is "dusk clouds and returning cranes in Qi Fei, clear water * * * sky and one color". Looking from a distance, on the left is the grain cloud in Nantan, and on the right is the banana rain in Beiya, which set each other off from a distance. The East China Sea has a pleasant fishing song and has a unique charm.

Overseas Chinese Buddhist temple

Overseas Chinese Buddhist Temple is located in the center of Ma Yuan, Mayong, and is covered by an old banyan tree. People come and go in the Buddhist temple, and the incense is very strong. According to legend, Dazhong Cheng and Xiao Yifu also came here to worship Buddha when they were admitted to Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty. Since then, the shade of banyan trees in Buddhist temples has become a scene. Later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in A.D. 1646, a big wooden bridge was built in front of the small Buddhist temple, spanning the two banks of a river to connect the east and west banks conveniently. When the bridge was first built, it was originally a wide wooden deck with thick lines and a core shape; The upper end of the bridge column is also engraved with patterns, so it is called "Flower Bridge", also known as "Buddhist Temple Bridge". In 24 years (1935), this bridge was transformed from a wooden bridge to a reinforced concrete bridge. On the day of completion, Taigong began to drag Sun across the bridge to make way for him. The shadow of Buddhist temple buildings was destroyed in the second fire in Ma Yuan in 1943, while the reinforced concrete bridge transformed from "Flower Bridge" was demolished in 1995 for the needs of township construction after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Yizhong

Guiyi Temple is located in the wilderness of Mayong (now Masiqi Square). Buddhist nun's name is "Guiyi" for a reason. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lady Xiao had a daughter who was very filial, but she was a widow and lived in her parents' house for a long time. She will never marry her parents. On one occasion, Yi Fu went home from Beijing on leave, and her daughter knelt down and asked for a day off: "My son would like to cut his hair for Ni, and ask his parents to build an altar nearby, so that my son can settle down here and rely on my Buddha, which can be both festive and close." Jia's ambition is to choose to build this temple near the deserted garden to realize it; And personally named it "Guiyi Temple". Since then, the morning bell has rung, which is thought-provoking. The Buddha statues in the temple are resplendent and magnificent, and the incense is flourishing. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, several nuns lived here, begging for divination, mourning for the dead and doing things. After the land reform, nuns have become secular. Buddhist nun was demolished during the Cultural Revolution and converted into Masi No.4 Primary School. Xiao Bajing has a reputation: one tree and two counties, one river and two banks, Ma Yuan ancient temple, calling from top to bottom, assisting fish to penetrate, overlooking high piers, Bletilla striata olives and indifferent kapok.

Lvlang

In the quaint Mayong water town, there are awnings all over the river head and even the river in banana fields along the river bank in every village, which has formed a major feature of the water town.

In the past, especially in summer and autumn, people used to go to the arbor to rest when they returned to the village after work. Some sleep well, some sit together, talk about planting and production, and exchange experiences; Some tell roadside jokes or talk about the past and present; Some play a song and sing a song to entertain the body and mind and eliminate labor fatigue. It is really a public place for villagers, especially men, to enjoy the cool for the night and talk about everything. At the same time, people also need to look after agricultural boats and tools; It is also a good place to look after children and learn to swim at the source of a river.
