Tanjiao Village, Pandongjie Road, Lancheng District, was called "Lin Chao" in ancient times and later renamed "Tanjiao". Surrounded by water on three sides, the village water system is criss-crossed. The pattern of ancient villages is well preserved, with profound historical and cultural heritage and numerous historical sites. According to reports, Xu Guanggong, the founder of the Xu family in Tanjiao, came to Jieyang from Fujian in the Song Dynasty and found that Tanjiao was an ideal place to settle down, so he settled down with his family. Later, descendants multiplied and created four ancient livestock farms, namely Xinwei, Goumei, Nancuo and Beicuo, which were called "four livestock farms and one village" in ancient times. At present, the village has a population of more than 5,300 people, all of whom are surnamed Xu. There are 5 ancestral halls, 32 public halls, 13 "small study room" and 26 traditional residential buildings such as "Sifenjin", "Huxiashan", "Three halls connected" and "Three walls connected" in the village.
As the old saying goes, "Jin Sheng Li Shui, Yu Li Kun Gang". The ancestors of Xu in Tanjiao advocated the idea of making money near water, chose land to live and carefully built villages, so the ancient village architecture has unique regional characteristics. The first is to choose the right place. Most villages follow the flow dynamics of the creek port, follow the principle of five elements of geomantic omen to determine the direction and form the layout. Secondly, it is elegant. Around the geographical form, there are pictographic walled villages, in which Nancuo and Beicuo are "double pomegranate fields", so there are two connected circular walled villages built by the Xu family, which open to the south and north, commonly known as "pomegranate mouth", taking its beautiful meaning of "connecting branches and sharing the same gas"; Xinxu and Gou Wei belong to the "snake land", and the village is built along a stream that looks like a snake. Third, the structure is rigorous. All traditional folk buildings adopt hard-top civil structures. Finally, the decoration is simple and generous. Stone carvings, wood carvings, gray carvings and porcelain inlays in ancestral halls and public temples are all beautifully carved, which fully embodies the artistic style of Chaoshan ancient buildings.
"The ancestral temple is in the palace, and the city god is in the north _ Rong" ("Rong" is pronounced as "Shen"), which is a popular jingle in Jieyang. "Gong" refers to the ancient temple located in the northwest of Tanjiao Village. The temple has been built since Tanjiaochuang Village and has a history of more than 700 years. In front of the ancient temple, there is Rongjiang North River. At the high tide in ancient times, the tide just overflowed Yangcheng in front of the temple, but never overflowed the palace gate, becoming a unique natural wonder. Therefore, the ancient village was named "Linchao Village" and "Linchao Ancient Temple" was called one of the four famous scenic spots in Jieyang. When the Expeditionary Force of the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army came to Jieyang for the second time, in order to stop the enemy, Zhou Enlai, He Long and Ye Ting sent troops to occupy the Tanjiao Ferry. In order not to disturb the people, at that time, about a company's troops lived in the temple, and Zhou Enlai and other leaders also went to the temple to make operational arrangements, leaving behind revolutionary historical sites.
Tanjiao Village also has a group of birthday screens composed of12 screens, with black paint in the middle and birthday wishes written on it. Full text 1000 words, in regular script, from right to left, with gold lacquer wood carvings on the top and bottom, screen columns on the left and right, and lions carved on the stigma. Birthday screen was made in the 10th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1884). It has a history of 130 years, which is still rare.
New luna Park is the most representative garden building in Tanjiao Village, which was founded by New Gong Yue, the ancestor of the Xu family in Tanjiao. Xin was a scholar in the Song Dynasty, who made an Oracle in Huguang. Building a new luna Park is an ideal place for his family to study. The most distinctive feature of Xinluna Park is that there is a tomb with two tombstones, one in memory of Xin Gongyue and the other in memory of a general named Jin Biao. According to reports, General Jin Biao and Xin are scholars in the same list and become good friends because of their similar interests. Later, General Jin Biao abandoned Wen to join the army and became a general in Zhennan. Yuan soldiers invaded, Song Dinan fled to Chaoshan, and General Jin died in battle to protect the emperor and died. He was very sad when he learned the news, so he asked his family to take General Kim's body back to New luna Park for a funeral. After the founding of New China, the New luna Park was destroyed together with the ancient tomb. 1993, the Xu clan organization rebuilt the luna Park and the ancient tomb, mainly to leave the impression of the achievements and friendship of the sages to future generations.
