The Historical Evolution of Xiping Town

Xiping Town was called Kannonji in ancient times, and Panlong Temple was built in the first year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1662), so it was named after Guanyin in the temple. In the tenth year of Kangxi (1672), Xingchang was the resident of Xingri Township. In 25 years (1936), fourth area was founded. 1950 after the establishment of new China, it is still the resident of this area. 1956 was renamed xiping district. Xiping Town Government governs 10 villages and 2 neighborhood committees. That is, it governs Lian Meng Village, Liming Village, Ganziyuan Village, Tashuiqiao Village, Jinxing Village, Gufanggou Village, Hetaogou Village, Xijiang Village, Holly Village, Shanghe Village and Dongjie Neighborhood Committee I and II, and is the only town in Xiping District. From 1992, the forestry bureau under its jurisdiction was Jianlin Township before 1992, formerly known as Jianlin Post, which was located on the route from Santai to Xiping, 24 kilometers west of the county seat. From the Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China, it was the resident of Jin Kang Township, and was established as Jianlin Post Station in 1935, and changed to Jianlin Township in 1940.

More than 85% of the population in the town are immigrants, Hakkas and their descendants who moved in from Fujian, Guangdong, Huguang and Jiangxi provinces in the early Qing Dynasty. The town covers an area of 4.5 square kilometers and has a permanent population of more than 30,000 people. There are new and old cities. The pattern of the old city is similar to that of the county seat. Built in the fifth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1800), the grain platform is connected with the city wall, and there are seven gates in the square, all of which are inconsistent with the direction of the field. The Buddhist temples, ancient houses, Shiban Street, four major halls, Wu's Ancestral Hall and Chen Wanxi's former residence in Hongliang Village of Zhu Jun Office show the past creation and glory of Xiping people. In the new urban area, new primary and secondary schools, waterworks, commercial buildings, post and telecommunications buildings, elderly activity centers, hospitals, leisure villages and so on will be built. It is a symbol of today's rich material and spiritual life. 4000 individual merchants, 1300 industrial and trade enterprises, are adding new blood to Xiping. The harmony between old and new cities, the improvement of living conditions and the improvement of quality are another achievement created by Xiping people in the new period. 20 10 65438+ 10/9, Xiping Ancient Town was awarded as "the most beautiful ancient town in Sichuan" in the "Second China Cultural Tourism Festival" jointly sponsored by Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture, Provincial Tourism Bureau and Provincial Construction Department, and hosted by the provincial famous ancient town cultural tourism development promotion association. The overall pattern of Xiping ancient town is like a human body. According to experts in literature and history, the layout of ancient towns in China has the principle of "bionics", but it is rare to imitate the human body like Xiping Town. There is a beautiful saying among the people that the layout of Xiping ancient town is like "beauty basks in shame", which embodies the original worship of "the earth is the mother".

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the population of Sichuan decreased sharply due to military disasters, natural disasters, plagues and other reasons. "A thousand miles of fertile land, no one is farming." Xiping area, like Sichuan, "tigers and leopards compete for deer all day", and it is difficult to see a group of people in a hundred miles. The scene is very tragic. It was not until the end of Shunzhi that immigrants moved in. In the first year of Kangxi (1662), a villager built a Panlong Temple in this town government. Later, due to the sharp increase in population, Kaijiang prospered. Due to the needs of production and life, it was built in the tenth year of Kangxi (1762), and it was named after Guanyin in the temple was the resident of Xingri Township. This is the origin of Guanyin field. According to records, there were 500 households in Xingchang at that time, mainly immigrants from Fujian, Guangdong, Huguang (Hunan, Hubei), Jiangxi and other provinces. In the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), the national government of Santai County in fourth area was established. After the founding of New China, it is still the headquarters of the regional department. 1956 was renamed xiping. Because the layout of urban buildings is similar to that of Santai Tongchuan Old Town, the city wall is known as "three miles around the city and three miles through the city", which is one third of the area of Santai Old Town and has long been the political and economic center of the county, so it has the reputation of "small Santai". After Xiping Xingchang occupied an area of about 1 square kilometer, the cross-shaped old street gradually expanded. After the wall was built in the fifth year of Jiaqing (1800), it became a veritable old city. Ancient dwellings, Shiban Street, Guannong Temple, Guangdong and Fujian, Huguang (Hunan and Hubei), Jiangxi Guild Hall, Wu Jia Temple and other cultural relics in the ancient city are its highlights. Unlike the walls of other places, the walls of Xiping are made of raw grain platforms. In the fifth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1800), the local officers and men of the Qing government, in order to suppress the uprising of Anbaili peasants such as Ran Wenchuo, designated to build a warehouse in Guanyinchang to store the grain and grass of Santai and Zhongjiang counties here. After the riot, the villagers connected the grain platforms guarding the granary and built the city wall. Therefore, Xiping City Wall has two different characteristics: First, the four-way doors (except the south gate) are all equipped with small doors for cars to enter and small doors for pedestrians. This is why we now see the big east gate, the small east gate, the big west gate and the small west gate. The direction of the second and fourth doors is 90 degrees different from the actual direction, and the north gate facing north is intentionally called the east gate; The south gate facing south is called Ximen, etc. This is to confuse "bandits" and seek peace, and it is deliberately called wrong. Today's Xiaodongmen, also known as Huanbimen, was rebuilt in the eighth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty and in the ninth year of Jiaqing (1804). In the old city, the Kannonji Buddha-chanting Building, the city wall and the Chengmenlou Cave are all county-level cultural relics protection units. Wu ancestral hall is the best preserved Hakka ancestral hall in northern Sichuan and the only Wu Hakka in Sichuan. Located on Kaijiang River outside Dadongmen, Guanyin Field, Tongchuan Prefecture (now Xiping Town, Santai) in northern Sichuan. It was built in the early years of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. The owner of the ancestral temple, Wu Gongqiu Jun, was the ancestor of Wu who filled Sichuan with Huguang in the 56th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi, and came here to do business. Wu ancestral hall is a typical Hakka ancient building. It consists of Daxiong Hall, Wusheng Hall, Guanyin Hall, left and right side halls, middle hall, inner patio and foyer. The ancestral hall belongs to 18 well-preserved Hakka ancestral halls. It is the place where the Wu family of Xiping Hakkas worship their ancestors.

With the strong support of the local government, the Wu Hakka Ancestral Hall successfully received all the experts and scholars of the "Sichuan Immigration and Hakka Culture Seminar" on September 6, 2003 15, becoming the first Hakka grand event in the province. From June 5th to1October 5th, 2006, the 2nd1World Hakka Friendship Association was held in Taipei, Taiwan Province Province. Mr. Wu Boxiong, President of the World Hakka Association and then Vice Chairman of the Kuomintang of China, personally wrote the inscription "Wu's Ancestral Hall" for the Wu's Hakka Ancestral Hall in Xiping, Santai County.

The ancestral temple was born in the old patriarchal society, which is the carrier of filial piety culture and the extension of filial piety to parents. A person who is not filial to his parents can hardly make people believe that he is a good citizen and a good worker. Governing the country by law and by virtue complement each other, and it is necessary to establish a socialist ideological and moral system that inherits the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Ancestral temple is a form of inheriting traditional virtues.

With the help of "Seminar on Immigration and Hakka Culture" held in Santai, members of the Wu family carried out systematic transformation. Restored the ancestral tablets and plaques. In the past, the Wu ancestral hall contributed to the cultivation of talents and social stability of the Wu family in Xiping. In today's socialist reform and opening up, it still plays an irreplaceable role in helping students with morality on the basis of taking its essence and using its macro. The existence of Wu ancestral hall has important practical significance. Xiping Guild Hall is built for Xiping immigrants and Hakkas. Its construction scale, scale, structure and style are in proportion to the number of immigrants, economic strength and social status in this province.

In the old city, Guangdong, Fujian, Huguang (Hunan, Hubei) and Jiangxi were mostly built in the Qing Dynasty. For example, the words "Built in Daoguang for seven years (1827)" are written on the central beam of Guangdong Guild Theater. According to the legend of the old man, the largest hall is Huguang Hall, which is magnificent, as well as the bell tower and drum tower. Followed by the Fujian Pavilion, there are cultural relics such as wing rooms, two-way plaques and incense tables. There are 10,000 monuments, which means that 10,000 people donated them when they were built. Guangdong Pavilion is the best preserved, with temples, theaters and facades. There are many tea gardens and tea drinkers now. Jiangxi Pavilion has only the gatehouse, while Huguang Pavilion has only the remains.

The clubhouse integrates nostalgia, socialization, faith and entertainment. It has played an indelible and important role in the history of Xiping immigrants living and working in peace and contentment and rebuilding their homes.
