A Review of Zhou Huaijun's Voice

Zhou Chuansheng (1833 ~ 1885), whose salary is as follows, is an old farmer from Beihai, a native of Zhoulaowei, Nongxing Township, Feixi County, Anhui Province, and his brother Zhou Shengbo, ranking fifth. During the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty, brothers Huasheng and Shengbo led a delegation to fight against Taiping Army in Zipeng Mountain and other places, and rose to Ganzong. 1862 (the first year of Tongzhi), he joined the Huai army with his brother Sheng Bo, and served as a pro-barracks sentry in Shengziying. Jiangsu and Zhejiang were attacked by Taiping rebels, and the official was the prefect. 1865 (Tongzhi four years), Zhou Chuantong suppressed the Nian Army with Zeng Guofan. Capture Luohe set and register as the prefect. 1867 was awarded the company commander of Youjiang Town, Guangxi. 1875 (the first year of Guangxu), Li Hongzhang was ordered to build water conservancy projects in Beijing and Tianjin. Zhou Chuanfeng, who is in charge of land reclamation in Jinggu, personally and repeatedly visited the southeast of Tianjin 100 Li, and put forward a scheme of building water conservancy, improving soil and opening up paddy fields with dredging river ditches, digging river canals and diverting water and discharging alkali as the main contents. 1876 (the second year of Guangxu), Sheng Jun was transferred to Tianjin Town and moved to Tun to start work. First, the South Ang Lee Canal was excavated, which reached Dagukou from Jinguantun. After that,/kloc-0 tributaries and 6 cross rivers were built, with dense ditches, more than 50 bridges and gates were built to store water and drain water, so that fresh water and alkaline water were not mixed, more than 60,000 mu of paddy fields were opened, saline-alkali land along the river was irrigated, and millions of mu of cultivated land were added. 1882 (the eighth year of Guangxu), Zhou Chuansheng was the magistrate of Hunan, and he still stayed in Tianjin Town to train his foot soldiers. He has a deep research on western rifle firearms, and has written the Regulation on Firearms Operation 12, which has become the teaching book of Huai Army. Zhou Chuansheng also wrote to Li Hongzhang to establish Beiyang armament school in Zizhulin, Tianjin. After Zhou Chuansheng led his son army to station troops, he learned from the experience of the previous rice race and started with water conservancy. This photo of Sheng Jun garrison during Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty recorded this process in detail. 1875, Sheng Jun excavated Machang River, and diverted Yushui River (now South Canal) into Machang River, flowing eastward through the station, Xincheng and Dagu to Haihe River, with a total length of 85 kilometers. 1880, Zhou Chuanfeng built another nine-announcement gate at the place where the South Canal entered Machang River to divert the flood of the South Canal and open the gate to irrigate rice fields. Today, more than one hundred years later, this sluice is still benefiting future generations. In order to pray for a bumper harvest, Zhou Chuanfeng also built the Nong Xin Temple in the guild hall near the station. It meets every year on March 28th, burning incense and performing, which is very spectacular. Later, in order to commemorate Zhou Chuanfeng's achievements in building water conservancy projects, plowing fields and planting rice for the benefit of future generations, the Zhougong Temple was built next to the Nong Xin Temple, and people come to Tomb-Sweeping Day to remember and pay homage every year. Since then, local farmers have continuously introduced high-quality rice seeds from the south, and hybridized with rice seeds such as "Yinfang" from North Korea, and cultivated a "standing rice" with white, round, sweet and fragrant rice grains. It is really "a family cooks, and the neighbors are fragrant". Originally sparsely populated and barren, the small station area has become a land of fish and rice in the north. "Station Rice" also became the only rice named after its place of origin in China at that time. Zhou's mother Ding died, and Zhou Shengbo invited her home to attend the funeral. However, she was not allowed, and her brother Zhou was allowed to return to China. Zhou Chuanchuan returned to his hometown and married his mother. In the 11th year of Guangxu (1885), he died of grief. He was buried in Dai Ying, a small temple in Xixiang, Hefei (now Xiaomiao Town, Feixi County), and was given the title of "Wuzhuang" to build a public temple in Wuzhouzhuang.
