In fact, Dingxiang is today's Guanjiang, former Xitou two villages, separated at the end of 1961, is an ancient village with a thousand years of history. The yellowed genealogy of the Du Clan reads: "The Grand Duke of the Du Family in Guanjiang, Mr. Shangde, is the 10th generation descendant of Du Fu. In the Song Dynasty, Mr. Shang De moved from Suzhou to Guanjiang and settled here because of the beautiful scenery and good terrain. After that, he dug four streams, namely, "Qianxikeng, Houxikeng, Qianxixi and Houxixi", to imitate Sichuan and to memorialize his homeland. After the Du's children and grandchildren have moved to Yinxi, Ningbo and other places.
The four streams are the main and tributaries of Tingxi. They flow from the upper reaches of the bend, like a green ribbon through the old house in front of the house. When people walk on the stone road, they seem to be running against it. The old saying goes, "Up there is Tiantong Yuwang. Zouxi Guanjiang", that is to say, its water. The two streams called a well, each well one meter square, two meters deep. Over the years, the well water is crystal clear, cool in summer and warm in winter, drought does not wither. On hot days, we often see villagers carrying kettles and lead buckets to fetch water from the wells. The water is not only a good source of water, but it is also a good source of water, so it is a good source of water.
In the past, Dingxiang more river, now the village of a natural village is still known as Xu Jia USA. The village people said that the name tube river is settled here to manage the meaning of the river. Some people say, tube river "tube" means "Maozhu mountain under the big official". Indeed, Guanjiang is not only mountainous (today the village still has more than 2,400 acres of forests), but also has a family history of farming and studying. The Du family used to be called a family, and from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were many civil officials and military generals, as well as prodigies and scholars. Among them, the third ancestor, Du Lu, was an official in the Privy Council, and later on, he was awarded the title of Ronglu Daifu. Chongde Hall straight admonishing bachelor. The fifth ancestor Du Shengliang's four sons were prominent in the court as literary officials. The eleventh Du Mengxiang's four sons, the Yuan Dynasty, were all prominent officials in the military, respectively known as the "before and after the four honor". Du family is the most famous is with Qian Su Le a **** uprising against the Qing Dynasty to restore the Ming Dynasty, Du Xiucai Mao Jun uncle and nephew and Shi Bangjie. According to the Yongzheng "Zhejiang Tongzhi" records, the end of the Ming DingHai, the Qing troops south, directly to the tube river, Du's children then retreated to the cottage, bloody battle three days, vector stones like rain, corpses all over the place, outnumbered, cottage broken, BongJie pulling out the sword FengXia, MaOjun seriously injured, leaning against the wall and died, the corpse stood up for a few days, should be favored to be captured, chopping the head of the death of several knives. Du's children were killed and wounded. These three people are known as "tube river three martyrs". After the village, Shi's "umbrella on sunny days, feet wearing shoes", meaning that with the Qing Dynasty does not **** Dai Tian, do not step on the Qing Dynasty ground.
After the liberation of the village is talented, out of ambassadors abroad, national dancers, famous painters, professors, senior workers and civil servants above the county level. The ancestral house in the village is well-preserved, with four red characters "Baotian Zeshi" written on the high wall. It is an old house with three doors. There is a long and narrow patio when you walk in the front door, and on the left hand side of the high wall, there is a branch of golden laurel in the side yard, and the main trunk is as thick as a pillar, which is said to be more than a hundred years old. When it blooms in August of the lunar calendar, the whole village is filled with the fragrance of golden laurel. When you enter the house, you will find the main hall, with a high roof, an arch on each side, and exquisite wood carvings next to the beams, with vivid peony patterns.
The people of Dingxiang have a lot of land, and are known as "Hengxi Wangjiaoya, Guanjiang Dujiagu". Compared with other places, Dingxiang people's life has always been relatively rich. It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, the Dingxiang people had the largest number of fields in the area of Zhanqi Xiayang and Fenghua Songao, and one of them, Dunxitang, had 999 acres of fields. Each household was given a certain amount of land to cultivate, and a large portion of the land was farmed in turn, with each house cultivating it in order, and when it was the house's turn, the house was responsible for all the expenses required by the clan. Nowadays, there are still a lot of cultivated land in Dingxiang, more than 170,000 people in the whole county, and there are 2007 acres of cultivated land in ****.
But because of historical reasons, the county collective debt is quite a lot, Dingxiang village is still wearing the hat of the district economic weak village.
