Guidong Village is a direct descendant village of the founder who entered Fujian, the juren in Song Dynasty, the scholar in Guannei and Hou Lihuode. In the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the third son of Huo Degong, Sansan Langchaomei, and his descendants moved several times with their families from Xiaping, the 23rd capital of Chongren County, Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, to Guidong, Longyan Prefecture, Zhangzhou (now Guidong Village, Guantian Township, zhangping city). In the 11th year of Wanli in Ming Shenzong (1583), Guidong Village has a history of at least 425 years.
At that time, Gong moved south with his family, and Hakka folk customs and new homes also moved with it. Choose the stove on the left and the pot on the right to represent incense, so as to last forever. The stove and wok are tied with green vines. The palace said to his children, "We should go straight south. When the sharp iron pot grinds the vines and falls to the ground, we will settle down there.". In this way, after hiking to the south for several days and nights, the ivy here was worn away, and the iron pot and stove fell to the ground. Since then, Yin Qing's descendants have settled here, taken root and multiplied. According to Zhangping County Records, "Guidong Village, formerly known as Guidong Yang, has a cave with stones in it, which looks like a turtle. In front of the cave, the whole village is a small basin named Gui Dongyang, which was renamed homophonic Gui Dong because of its common name. "

(B), village architecture and folk culture
The spatial layout of this village is reasonable. The ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties have well preserved the traditional architectural style, interlaced with village primary and secondary schools and cottages, and foreigners living in eastern Guangxi have formed a "basin" shape, retaining the habit of ancient Hakkas "living around". Ancient temples, schools, earth buildings and bunkers, small bridges and flowing water, people's homes and distant mountains are all shrouded in fog and smoke, which has the reputation of "Shangri-La" and "Jiuzhaigou" in Yun Shenchu. History and modernity are intertwined here, forming a unique humanistic atmosphere with a harmonious aesthetic feeling.
The poem Wonderland in a Dream in Hakka literature describes the rural beauty in Guidong: "Vaguely, vaguely/far away, far away/that's/the snow and ice in the distant mountains melt/the smoke in the village curl/the flowing water in Huaxi/the place where the mountain flowers bloom//Huaxi winds to the horizon/she/is wading in Huaxi/suddenly/turns into a dance.
Ancient Hakka marriages, sacrifices, Hakka customs and living customs are preserved here, including traditional Hakka tea-making skills, tea oil smashing and other traditional skills, as well as folk culture such as "opening tea doors".
Weilongwu, a characteristic building in eastern Guangxi
The overall layout of the Dragon House here is a big garden, and in the overall shape, the Dragon House is a Taiji diagram.
The first half of the paddock is a half-moon pool, and the second half is a half-moon building. The joint of the two halves is separated by a rectangular open space, which is compacted and paved with concrete. It is called "Peace" (or Tang Di), and it is a place for residents to exercise or dry their clothes. At the junction of "Heping" and the pond, a high or low stone wall is built with lime and pebbles. The short one is called "Wall Ridge" and the tall one is called "Zhao Qiang". Half Moon Lake is mainly used for stocking fish and shrimp, watering vegetable fields, storing water for drought prevention and fire prevention. It is not only a natural fertilizer warehouse, but also a natural sewage purification pool.
Guidong yang Hakka catering
In areas where people live in concentrated communities, long-term migration and economic development lag behind. Gui Dongyang preserved the hard life of Hakkas, and prepared pickles, dried vegetables, dried radishes and other food that can withstand eating and living. Sweet potato rice can be used at home to suppress flatulence, and wild vegetables can be used to satisfy hunger when going out, which has formed the characteristics of "salty, cooked and old". From the formation of the above characteristics, we can also see that Hakka people have strong ability to adapt to the environment and have created their own unique food culture.
