When it comes to the historic sites in Qutou Village, we have to mention "Five Temples", "Seventy-two Pavilion", "Ancient Tomb", "Longqu Folk House" and "Shadow Pagoda". I found most of them. When I saw their dilapidated state, I was deeply moved and suddenly thought that I would be forgotten by history like them one day.
[1] Let's start with the "five temples", namely Sanguan Temple, Guandi Temple, Zushi Temple, Zongshanling Temple and Wangye Temple. Among them, Sanguan Temple, Guandi Temple and Zushi Temple are arranged in a straight line in the village, and Guandi Temple is in the center of the village. Zongshanling Temple is in the northwest corner of the village, and Wangye Temple is in the northeast corner of the village. Among these five temples, Zong Ling, Zhongshan Temple, has the highest status, and its main hall is dedicated to Guan Gong. I don't know why it is called Ling Temple instead of the traditional Guandi Temple. On the sixth day of June every year, Zongshanling Temple Fair in Qutou Village (now beyond the scope of the temple fair, called the material exchange meeting). On that day, villagers in surrounding villages such as Potou and Banqiao will also burn incense and bow down to Zongshanling (these villages are all around Zongshanling). The most magical thing about every temple fair is the rainstorm that day. Temple fairs are held on this day every year, which makes people puzzled.
Then there is the Wangye Temple dedicated to the Dragon King, Nu Wa Niangniang and Yao Wang, and there is also a temple fair on February 12 every year. I found the word "Qinghe ~ Temple" on its door plaque (the third word is unknown, in traditional Chinese characters), which was erected in the thirty-second year of Qianlong and engraved with some contents about the appointment of officials by the official department.
Except Guandi Temple, which has been used as a place to pay and store public grain in the village since liberation, little is known about the other three temples. Now the Sanguan Temple has been converted into a residential building, and the ancestral hall is about to collapse. When I went to see the stone tablet at the entrance of Sanguan Temple (the temple was built in Guangxu Autumn of Qing Dynasty and in the summer of the second year of the Republic of China, I really can't figure it out. In such a national disaster, people spent all their energy on building the temple and begging for the protection of the gods), ironically, there were bursts of mahjong sounds coming from it.
[2] Let's talk about the "seventy-two pavilions". The pavilion here refers to the small tower. Most of what I know about seventy-two pavilions is from listening, because its materials and entities were almost destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, and there are only three pavilions left at present. When I found these three pavilions, I felt both lucky and helpless. According to the old people, in ancient times, the 72 pavilions divided Qutou Village into 72 areas. At night, the doors of the pavilion are closed, and people are not allowed to go out of the pavilion. I think it is precisely because of this management system that the safety of Qutou Village has been guaranteed for generations, but it is also because it became the object of destruction during the Cultural Revolution. The first pavilion I found was the Polar Arch, which was three stories high. The ancient buildings here are still well preserved. The other two pavilions will not be introduced in detail.
[3] The Tomb. In the east of Qutou Village, there are three graves lined up in the northeast and southwest directions. The Han cemetery, which has been built for 30 years, should be large in scale, with a memorial arch ten meters in front of the tombstone. Because the inscription on the second floor is vague and illegible, it can only be vaguely seen that it was built during the Tongzhi period. Zhang Lingyuan was built in Xianfeng period, with a temple on the east side. Unfortunately, a stolen cave was found nearby.
In addition, when I was a child, I saw an ancient tomb with my own eyes on the hill north of the Korean cemetery. I threw the burning paper out of the thief's hole and clearly saw that the tomb was as big as a room. First, I saw a wax table on the north wall, and then I found a black coffin in the middle of the tomb. I was scared out in a cold sweat. I got up and ran home. I've been panicking all week.
There is also a sarcophagus behind the shadow wall in the west of the village. Because it is a coal mine goaf, the ground is cracked, and it is made of sand and engraved with patterns. The Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau came down to check that the coffin was empty, and the matter went away. I don't know which house built the sarcophagus to lay the foundation for the present. That's pathetic!
[4] Qutou dwellings. The head of the canal has an excellent geographical position, with mountains in the west-Zongshanling, hills in the north and south, and rivers in the east-originating from giant mountains, which conforms to the theory of five elements of geomantic omen. So people began to settle here very early, as early as the Five Dynasties. "History of the Five Dynasties" has a detailed record: at the end of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Chong was in the middle of the army and set up Qutou Village in Taiwan Province (that is, the battle of Bagongyuan); Its prosperous period should be the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and most of the buildings in the village were built in the Qing Dynasty. The tallest five-story residential building has appeared, and the central square behind the canal has been demolished. Most houses are nested and single quadrangles. There are three main types of facades (I can't discuss them in detail because of limited knowledge).
The most noteworthy of the dwellings is the stone archway below, which is a typical nested courtyard. There are many small families in a big archway, most of whom are people with the same surname. The stone carvings on this archway are very beautiful and have high historical value.
The doorman stones in front of each house are different, some are lions, some are round stone carvings, and some are directly engraved with Fushou.
[5] screen wall. The head of the canal was originally named Longqu Town, named after a clear spring in the village. It is also shaped like an inkstone. In ancient times, it was a land of geomantic omen and outstanding people. Jincheng TV station once reported the legend of the shadow wall at the head of the canal and the Dayang stupa. In the past, Dayang was poor and the richest man in the canal. Dayang asked Mr. Feng Shui to take his pulse. The head of the canal is rich, and the middle of the village is low and the surrounding areas are high, which looks like an inkstone Mo Chi. Mr. Dayang Feng Shui asked Dayang people to build a tall tower at the head of the canal, and put a pen on the tower, which means to dip away the good Feng Shui at the head of the canal. Sure enough, since then, Dayang has been a senior official. The head of the canal began to descend. Mr. Feng Shui was also invited to the head of the canal. Mr. Wang said that if you build a screen wall against Dayang Tower, a sun on the screen wall can burn Dayang's pen. It really came true. Dayang learned that the pen had been buckled in a cauldron.
Today, the shadow wall and Dayang Tower at the head of the canal still stand. When the weather is clear, you can vaguely see the Dayang Tower from behind the shadow wall at the head of the canal.
