Heerkou town Xi village

West Village, Heerkou Town, Fengkai County has a long history and profound cultural heritage. In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, it was called Changle. Neighborhood, village and village organizations have also been established in history. Mo Xuanqing, the first champion of Lingnan in the Tang Dynasty, came from Li Changle, so the West Village was called "the former residence of the champion" and "champion village".

West village is the "extreme south" of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty. It is the hometown of the word "Wende" in Tang Yizong. Up to now, there are thousands of castles, ancient wells in Tang and Song Dynasties, Changle archway in Ming Dynasty, and houses in Qing Dynasty.

According to Mo Zhuohua's genealogy, in the Tang Xianzong period more than 800 years ago, Mo Futing and his father Mo Jiancang were the ancestors who entered Guangdong, while Mo Rangren was the ancestor who was an official in Fengkai. At this time, the area around the West Village is called Changle.

After Mo Rangren settled in Changle, there were five families living in Changle: Li, Zhang, Yan, Bai and Yang. According to the division that 65,438+00 households were neighbors and 65,438+05 households were residences, Changle was also called Li Changle.

Changle, with the central axis of the original West Village as the boundary, started to divide villages from Shizizi Cave (that is, the upper reaches of Yulao River) and designated the current West Village as "Xicheng Village".

During the Tang Xiantong period after Mo Xuanqing won the top prize in the late Tang Dynasty, Xicheng Village was renamed "Xicunfang".

After the Song Dynasty, it was referred to as "West Village", namely Li Xi Village in Changle, Wende Township, Fengchuan. Later, after several changes, the names of counties and townships have changed, and only the "West Village" has been retained so far. It is also called "champion village" now.
