A short story about Xiguan

1. Yimin City in Xiguan for Foreigners:

In the early years of Kangxi, the Qing government implemented the policy of "emigrating from the border" in the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces as a complement to the maritime ban. More than 1, people from the Pearl River Estuary were forcibly moved to the West Village and Pantang in Nanhai County-this figure is of great significance and far-reaching influence on the population composition of Xiguan in the future.

You must know that the population of Nanhai County was only 9,! After 35 years, the descendants of this group of Tujia people can be called "Old Xiguan"! The fishermen in the coastal areas make a living by fishing, but they lost their jobs when they got the "Xiguan hukou". In order to fill their stomachs, they took their chicks to the river to touch fish and shrimp, and went to the nearest Tianjin to be a ghost. A new market emerged in the suburbs, which was called the "immigrant city".

2. Thirteen lines of Xiguan for strangers:

"Pan Luwu Ye" has become a word of mouth, and the thirteen lines are also the richest. The founders of these four families were all born in poverty and developed as myth, and some Xiguan people mistook them for rural sages. In fact, the Lujia family came from Xinhui, Guangdong, and the Pan, Wu and Ye families came from Fujian, just like those poor families, and they were strangers who immigrated to Xiguan.

Seeing that thirteen merchants got rich first, Xiguan aborigines followed suit. Not everyone can do foreign trade, so people in the circle climb to the side of the foreign trade car and open a computer room to weave cloth for export. The weaving industry is less profitable, and the surrounding computer rooms have mushroomed. As a result, a large number of farmhouses have been converted into computer rooms, and the contiguous buildings have become increasingly abandoned. The aborigines washed their feet and went to the fields, and Yong' an and Xile fell apart.

When the "youngest" needs to be equipped with wage earners, it is a perfect match made in heaven, and the unemployed eggheads are eager to be exploited, so their popularity outside the circle is in harmony with the men and women around them, so they are called "computer room boys". The competition in the labor market is fierce, and the losers become "travelers without return". The best choice for the most unlucky people is to be beggars. Xiguan Beggars' Sect has a prosperous lineup, and its base camp is around Hualin Temple.

rogue proletarians are lawless, and the public security situation in Xiguan is grim. The authorities know how to "grasp with both hands". On the one hand, they set up Xiguan flood season with glittering knives, and on the other hand, they set up the Love and Education Hall to lend porridge and quilts at the 18th National Congress. These two institutions, together with the Embroidery Workshop and Anlelu in the Song Dynasty, echo each other in Xiguan history.

3. xiguan big house in Xiguan:

The characteristic of Xiguan is xiguan big house. Xiguan big house was the residence of merchants and rich gentry in old Guangzhou. Xiguan big house is mostly made of brick and wood structures, with blue masonry feet and large front doors embedded with granite. Its plane layout is basically developed in the depth direction according to the traditional main hall form in the Central Plains. Its typical plane is three rooms and two corridors; Symmetrical left and right, with the main hall in the middle.

The study and small courtyard are on the left of the front part of the two sides, and the slant hall and guest room are on the right. The roof of the guest room is a flat roof, which is used for enjoying the cool, enjoying the moon, and visiting Yue Bai (the seventh sister) on the seventh night of Xiguan. The slant hall and the back of the guest room are bedrooms, kitchens, etc. Flowers and trees are planted in the garden, and a rockery fish pond is built, which is quite elegant and quiet.

4. The legendary lion roars in Xiguan

According to legend, during the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, there were ponds and pools in Chenjiaci Fujian. One year, when the flood disaster occurred, the water level kept rising, and the people's houses collapsed and others died. Late at night, the stone lion at the temple gate let out a roar.

the next morning, all the floods were out. Since then, there has never been a flood in Chenjiaci area. People say that the stone lion has drunk all the water, so they regard the stone lion as a "holy lion" and say that there is a omen of "good luck".

5. The legendary White Goose Lake in Xiguan:

According to legend, in the 14th year of Ming Dynasty (1449), Huang Xiaoyang led the peasant uprising in the Pearl River Delta. The insurgents attacked Zhouke Group and won many battles. When the warships arrived in today's White Swan Pond, a white goose suddenly appeared on the river, leading the warships of the Rebel Army to move forward rapidly, heading for Guangzhou.

Later, the uprising army was suppressed by the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Xiao's troops were defeated and retreated to the White Swan Pond. At the moment when there was no way to go and there was a pursuer, the white goose suddenly swam from the heart of the river again and flapped its wings, shouldering Huang Xiao's back and flying to the middle reaches of the river until it disappeared. From then on, this place left the beautiful name of White Swan Pond.
