Tanghu village is a remote mountain village, which makes people feel a little distressed. Not because of its location, but because of its administrative jurisdiction. It belongs to Hexi Township and is called "Siberia" in Yongding County. Hexi Township is really "pitiful", with a permanent population of 1 10,000. Li Shitang, where the township is located, is 420 meters above sea level, which is more than twice that of Yongding Chengguan. A street hanging halfway up the mountain is only tens of meters long, and the width of the street is barely enough for two cars to meet; Shops along the street can also be seen in the small bungalows before liberation; There are only more than 20 permanent residents on the street. It is such a small town that is "near the sky and far away from the city", which was actually formed by the merger of three communes in that year. Apart from the geographical location, I don't know what the decision-makers thought when they chose three communes to merge here. Because another merged commune, Tanghu, is the "center" in terms of transportation, population, economy, culture, education and resources. This village is 25 miles away from Hexi Township, with flat terrain and low altitude. The population, cultivated land and grain are several times that of Xin 'an Village where Hexi Township is located. This is the real first village in the township. Not only that, Tanghu Lake also has many unique resources that are famous in western Fujian and even the whole country: natural hot springs with a water temperature of more than 60 degrees, the birthplace of 800,000 descendants of Lai's population in Songyang County all over the country, the birthplace of the first League branch in the Central Soviet Area, the former site of Yongding Normal School, the first minister of the new China Building Materials Industry Department, the hometown of Lai, a member of the Ninth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the birthplace of Lai Weizhou, a former member of the Kuomintang Jiangxi Party Department and secretary of Chen Lifu. It is such a treasure trove of geomantic omen with profound cultural heritage and rich resources, but it has changed from rural system to village system, which has not received due attention and development for decades.
Fortunately, the Tang Lakers are born with an enterprising spirit and fighting spirit. In the sixties and seventies of last century, Tanghu was a famous advanced village in the county and even the whole region. Not only did I produce more grain and make great contributions, but I also built eight stone arch bridges and established a "nine-year consistent system" school from primary school to high school by relying on my own efforts (I studied in a village school before my sophomore year). More food, more bridges and more schools are typical portrayal of Tanghu Village. This advantage of Tanghu Village envies people in the surrounding villages, and even the county party secretary is willing to put relatives in Fuzhou in the village to queue up and settle down. Going out from my hometown, I became a minister of the country, and even sent my three sons back to my hometown for exercise. Among them, Lai Jirui, the eldest son, worked for 10 years, and his deeds made headlines in China Youth Daily, which shocked the central leaders of that year. Lai Jirui later became the director of Fujian Forestry Department and the chairman of Fujian Zhong Min Company. He never forgot his native land, Tanghu Lake. He ran around and called on social forces to support the construction of the old Tanghu area, helping the village to build a magnificent Tanghu school, a thousand acres of fruit forest farm, a cement road leading to the outside world and so on. After his death, according to his father's wishes, the ashes returned to his hometown.
Before the reform and opening up 10 years, because of the blocked information and weak economic foundation, most Tanglakers stayed at home to grow grain, and their lives gradually fell behind the county. Think about change when you are poor! The story that several young people in the neighboring village made a fortune by selling IT wires deeply stimulated the hearts of the villagers, so they went out of their homes and joined the IT industry to make a living. They have traveled all over the country, so much so that "Tanghu dialect" with special tones can often be heard in computer cities in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. This group of mud legs who went directly from the fields into the city touched countless merchants and buyers with their unique kindness, honesty, diligence and simplicity, and soon gained a firm foothold in various cities and became the owners of the computer city. Their entrepreneurial stories are touching, and their accumulated wealth is also increasing dramatically. Now there are millions of millionaires everywhere in the village. More houses, more cars and more roads have become the new "three more" in Tanghu Village. During the Chinese New Year, bosses, large and small, drove Mercedes-Benz and BMW vehicles from all over the country to Tanghu Lake, often blocking the village road. Not only that, rows of new houses make the small mountain village "airtight". According to statistics, there are more than 600 new houses in the village, one for every five people on average; Among them, there are many high-grade villas with trendy design and exquisite decoration. Building fever has also led to road construction fever. Village cadres try their best to raise funds and lead villagers to build and rebuild roads. Now, the whole village has formed two closed-loop traffic networks; The road to the outside world has also been built into a four-lane thoroughfare. The improvement of living standards has also led to the literary upsurge of men and women in the village. At present, there are three waist drum teams in the village all the year round. Every Spring Festival, basketball, table tennis, tug-of-war, waist drum and boat lantern competitions or performances are really lively and extraordinary, and they are called "Rural Spring Festival Evening" by city and county TV stations.
If the ever-changing changes in Tanghu Village are commendable, the simple folk customs, hospitable etiquette, mouth-watering food and harmonious ethnic groups here are well known and convincing. There are two surnames in Tanghu 30 12 population, of which Lai and Wu account for about 80% and 20% respectively. But for hundreds of years, there has never been a name dispute. Whenever one of the clansmen holds a big party, the other clansman will send blessings and gifts. In the recent election of the secretary of the village party branch, all the winners were Wu Fusheng, who had a "little surname", and they were elected unanimously every time. This is in stark contrast to the strange phenomena such as "desperate" and "invalid election" that often appear in several administrative villages around.
"Food is the most important thing for the people". The soup Lakers are famous for their delicious and daring to eat. In the sixties and seventies of last century, the surrounding villages were often hungry because of the small population, but Tanghu was relatively able to fill their stomachs because of the large cultivated land per capita. You don't panic if you have food in your hand, so there are many pigs and cows, chickens and ducks, and the wine brewed is also recognized as the strongest. Visiting relatives and friends, holding a pot of wine and slaughtering a chicken or duck are the "standard" of ordinary people. At that time, girls in neighboring villages liked to marry into Tanghu Lake, and girls who married from Tanghu Lake often asked for lower engagement fees than other villages. Up to now, life has been better, and the hospitable nature of Lakers has not changed. Rich people treat you, not by killing ducks, but by killing pigs and cows.
Most of the food in Tanghu can't be named. But it will be unforgettable. The reason is: authentic, authentic! Before the 1980s, Tang Laike used almost no other condiments except oil and salt, even soy sauce and monosodium glutamate, but the color and fragrance extracted from the ground, firewood, large iron pot and hands were unparalleled and exquisite. This green, primitive and authentic cooking method has continued to this day, and it has just become a popular "living fossil" that returns to nature.
Delicious and delicious. Tanghujian culture conveys the infinite warmth and golden kindness of the mountain people.
Time is always inadvertently, with beauty and hope, returning to the field of goodness. In recent years, Tanghu Village is like a peach blossom that indicates spring. In the new era of reform and opening up, it reveals intoxicating warmth and floral fragrance. "Yongding's First Top Ten beautiful countryside", "National Demonstration Village for Poverty Alleviation through Tourism", "National Advanced Village for Rural Tourism" and "China Rural Rich Leader (Wu Fusheng)" have brought surprises to the industrious and simple Tang Lakers again and again.
If you are in full bloom, butterflies will come. Tanghu Hot Spring, known as the first spring in western Fujian, is a gift from heaven to Tanghu Lakers. For thousands of years, this kind of warm soup, which is as expensive as ointment, has been lost in vain except bathing and irrigation. Fortunately, some people have a good eye for pearls and treasures. Mr. Xiong, an overseas Chinese living in Thailand and the world crocodile king, was moved by this landscape under the persistent retention of the local government and local sage Lai. Together with China Ocean Airlines Group, he plans to invest 654.38 billion yuan to build this place into a world crocodile breeding and tourism resort. In a few years, Tanghu will embrace and welcome guests from all corners of the country.
Not only that, the 800-year-old Laijia ancestor Chaomei Cemetery has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, and the "Laijia Temple" inscribed by Chen Lifu, a veteran of the Kuomintang, welcomes thousands of descendants of clansmen from all over the country to worship their ancestors or relatives in this province every year. Tanghu Village has suddenly become an important birthplace of the Lai family in China, with Tanghu in the north and Tanghu in the south. Last year, with the efforts of a group of warm-blooded rural sages, donations were raised from all over the country, and grand group flag sculptures, grand stone archways, ancestral temples, bypass roads and ancestral statues were built, adding endless charm to the beautiful mountain village.
"Like the strong wind in spring, it blows at night and blows open the petals of ten thousand pear trees." Tang Laike's sincerity and persistence can touch the people of Eight Wastes thousands of miles away. Lai Songgu, president of the World Lai Association and grandson of Tang Hu, and many other celebrities, such as Lai Hua, Bai Fumei, Jia Gang, Jiandong, Changhai, Daoqian, Bangkok and Jintu. Moved by the blood relationship between Tanghu's landscape and ancestral home, he donated millions of yuan overnight. * * * Together, they plan to build a first-class Lai Temple. In the near future, a colorful new Laijia Temple will rise from the lotus throne on the Tanghu Dam surrounded by water on three sides.
"At sunrise, the flowers in the river are redder than the fire. In spring, the river is as green as blue." Spring in Tanghu Lake is so beautiful that it will never end.
