Zhang takes the ancient family as the founder. Zhang entered Fujian as Zhang Zhizu, who was a scholar in the Song Dynasty (1174-1189). At the end of the Song Dynasty, he fled to Shibi River in Ninghua, Fujian, and then moved to Shangji Street in front of Guandian in Shanghang County, Tingzhou.
Chuan 18 son's grandson, 18 Dafang * * 108 went to Shanghang, and when Zhang was the ninth grandson, he and his youngest son settled in Shuyang Tower Village on July 14th, the first year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1426). According to the book Zhang's Genealogy published by Shuyang Pagoda in the Republic of China, after 16 1 moved to Taiwan in the 9th century, more than 30 people moved to Taiwan, including 10, 12, 13 and13. At present, Deyuantang family, an ancient village called Zhangtaxia, has been bred in Taiwan Province for 22 generations with more than 2,000 people.
The earth buildings in Taxia Village are round, square, arc, zigzag, triangle, chair, trapezoid and apron, with a total of 29 seats. The longest history is more than 300 years and the shortest is 80 years.
The village is located in two high mountains and valleys, and a crystal clear Qujiang divides the small village into two halves. Walking more than 500 meters along the stream, there are three stone arch bridges. The earth buildings on both sides of the strait are closely linked, patchwork and beautiful, just like a landscape painting. On the south slope of the village, there is a Ming and Qing ancestral hall, surrounded by two corridors, a hatchback and a low wall. It is called An Deyu Hall, which is a national key cultural relic protection unit.
Behind it is a vast lush fengshui forest. Outside the wall is a half-moon pool with clear water. There are 23 stone flagpoles in Chi Pan. They were founded by Zhang in the village, scholars or worshippers in China, centenarians or people who have made outstanding achievements in starting businesses overseas. The flagpole is seven or eight meters high, and the inscription is embossed with auspicious birds and animals to record merits and set an example for future generations.
