The ancient snail pit is surrounded by mountains and covered with ancient trees. The air here is fresh, birds and flowers are fragrant, and there are all kinds of rare birds and animals. The beautiful scenery here has become a paradise for all beings to thrive.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Huang Xigui, the ancestor of the Huang family in Tianluokeng Village, took his son from Aogeng, Yongding County, Fujian Province, and crossed the mountains and chose to move to the treasure land. They passed Huyangkeng, Xiabancun, Wu Li and Shangbanliao, and reached Tianluokeng. At that time, there were already Chen, Jiang, Yang and how many people lived in the snail pit. Seeing that they live in harmony, work hard and have a good living environment, I decided to settle here. Huang Xigui and his son Saburo set out to build a hut and live by raising a mother duck.
In the production and life of snail pit, Huang's ancestors thought that snail pit was surrounded by mountains and had long sunshine time all year round, which was a good place to build houses. Geographically, the stem, ridge and root of the snail pit are the three auspicious parties in the Eight Diagrams. In the upper, middle and lower three-dimensional fortune, it takes the longest time to be lucky. Tianluokeng is a square and one of the three auspicious squares, so the halls of existing buildings are all in one square, and sitting in the square is one of its major features. There is also a snail pit, and the water on the right falls on the left. The water flowing from Dingweikou, Chen Xu and Xu Xu is not Siling, nor is it the tomb of Jia Mu and Gui Shui. This is a natural place for peaceful life.
In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Bai Saburo, the ancestor of the Huang family in Tianluokeng, was instructed by Mr. Geographical Feng Shui to build a straw shed in Bai Saburo, and at the same time allocated money for his house foundation to sit, pull strings and pile up buildings. Build a square earth building-Hechang Building, with three floors and a single floor with 20 bays. After the Hechang Building was completed, an ancestral hall, Jiangxia Hall, was built on the land below it to commemorate Huang's predecessors.
After Huang's spread to 12 century, Buyun Building and other earth buildings were built one after another, and Wenchang Building was still under construction until 1966, with a construction time span of more than 600 years.
The rapid development of the Huang family led to the relocation of other people with foreign surnames, and the Huang family was unified in Tianluokeng.
