In 120 1 year, after Wang Ji (Zuozhou,No. Jichuan, a scholar from Jiading to Chunyou in the Song Dynasty) and his father Wang Jun (Qishan, the battle flag, also known as Qishan) moved to Zhang Qi, the population was prosperous and there were officials in all dynasties. 7 1 Grandfather Jun Qigong, who is quite proficient in geomantic geography in the village, tried his best to break the Zhang family, dug two ponds behind the temple, cut off the mountain and greatly reduced the branches of the Zhang family. With the development of wang xing, there are 18 Jinshi in the list of single tigers, and 42 according to county records. In the second year of Kangxi (1642), his descendant Wang was appointed as the magistrate of Dehua County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. Borrowing the poem "Looking at the Olympic Games, the green bamboo is ashamed" in the Book of Songs, he changed Zhang Fan to "Zhanqi" and carved the word "Zhanqi" in Yixian County, standing on the arched door in the west of the village entrance. Zhanqi Village covers a total area of 8.5 square kilometers. The site selection and construction of its ancient villages are isomorphic with the external space of most villages in Huizhou according to the principle of "pillow mountain, surrounded by water and screen". Li Yuling in the northwest is its ancestral mountain, from which two mountains are divided. On the left are Lailongshan and Heshangtan; On the right are Maowu Peak and Chunwu Peak, which extend on both sides and enclose the whole village in the middle. The village is backed by Longshan, winding like a dragon, facing the beautiful peaks of the distant mountains, lush as a screen, and is the ideal Long Mai and Chaoshan in Feng Shui. There is a custom in our village that whoever has a happy son will hold a pile of soil on the top of Xiufeng Mountain. The slowly flowing water in the south not only provides living and production water for the residents of Zhanqi, but also has extremely important significance in geomantic omen. Because the rivers in Huizhou generally flow from west to east, but in the small ring of the war flag, the water flows from east to west. It is said that this land was originally related to this. Judging from the form of the village, Zhanqi Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and slightly opens to the east. Three main canals-Dakeng, Tangkeng and Xiakeng define the boundary of the village, and the water flowing through the village divides the flag into two parts: Shang Jie and Xia Jie. The Shuikou of Zhanqi Village is in the southwest of the village, where the river flows. There are Meiqing Mountain and Dagu Mountain on both sides here, and the original water flow is straight. In order to conform to the artistic conception of Feng Shui, under the guidance of Feng Shui, the river was artificially twisted into a zigzag shape in order to retain wealth. Trees are widely planted on Fangyin Wharf to prevent wind and store water. A river-crossing levee bridge, which is also a sluice, controls the paddy field below 100 mu and becomes the "sluice" of the water outlet. The altar of ghosts and gods next to the bridge is at the mouth of the sacrificial river. Qiaotou is a geomantic village with a history of hundreds of years, with lush foliage. According to the custom in the village, anyone who is lonely and childless will come to worship the Feng Shui tree every holiday in order to have a home after death. There is a complete open ditch culvert water system in the village, which can quickly remove stagnant water in rainy season. Artificial wells and ponds are evenly distributed in the villages before and after, providing villagers with stable domestic water.
The ancient battle flag is an idyllic poem in which man and nature live in harmony. In order to survive and multiply in this land, it chose a road of coordinated development between man and the natural environment. It is mainly embodied in three aspects: building, water control, wind prevention and soil consolidation.
To build a village, we must first choose a site. According to legend, during the Song Dynasty, the Wangs moved from the west to the present Zhanqi Village. His 68th ancestor Gong Junjing ventilated the water. He felt very different when he saw the river flowing from east to west. In the future, wang xing can "stay for hundreds of miles from generation to generation", so she chose to live on the north bank of Tai Hang. Historically, Zhanqi Village was dry and waterlogged, but the hills near Dakeng were friendly, and mountains and rivers gathered here, which ensured the production and living water. The village is far away from the back hill to avoid flash floods and landslides. Two long streams in the village are perpendicular to the pit and extend to the back hill, which gives the village room for development. Choosing such a place to build a village is interpreted as "hiding the wind and gathering the gas" in Feng Shui, and it will surely prosper in the future. In the single residential building, the entrance of the house faces southeast, in order to "shade the east and shade the summer". Geomantic omen can be endowed with humanistic meaning-"returning to Dingshan Elephant", which means wealth and prosperity.
Water is the lifeblood of villagers' production and life, and water management is related to the survival of the whole village.
The water system of Zhanqi is based on the pit and the upper and lower pit water which basically intersect with it. These two "Changyuan" originated from the hills behind the village, flowed through the village and merged into the pit, which was responsible for both domestic water supply and sewage discharge. Between the two streams is the earliest area where houses gather. There is much water in the pit, wide road and large flow, which is mainly responsible for agricultural irrigation and drought relief and drainage. There are eight old wells over 100 years in the village, five of which are located in water caves near Houshan, in the upper reaches of underground waterways, far away from residential areas, with less pollution and good water quality. Use fine sand, tiles and charcoal to pave the shaft wall and bottom for 2-3m to ensure good water quality. Agricultural irrigation water, drinking water and domestic drainage are basically separated, and the water source is sanitary, which also meets the requirements of building fire prevention.
The ancient flag-bearers paid special attention to wind and sand fixation and soil and water conservation. Bauhinia, which can be seen everywhere, was once called one of the ten scenic spots in Guzhan Banner and was planted to prevent villagers from cutting down trees on the mountain. In the "Ten Articles of Ancestral Instruction" of the ancestral hall of Zhanqi (now well preserved), it is clearly stipulated that severe punishment measures should be taken against those who enter the mountains for illegal logging. More camphor trees have been planted by the river, and now they have become towering trees, all for wind protection, water storage and sand fixation.
The historical division of Zhanqi Village changes with the change of each era. From the early days of liberation to 1958, the township office was located in the battle flag. In addition to the seven villages under the jurisdiction of Nanyuankou (Tang Huai, Fochuan, East, West, Gaoshan, Caiwu and Zhanqi), the people's commune was established 58 years later, and its site was moved to Chengcun. In 78, the township government was established.
