? On both sides of the village road are large rice fields and fish ponds. The rice fields are lush and shiny green. The middle ear has just grown out, and it is a little yellow. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it. Occasionally, there are several egrets foraging and flying by the fish pond and on the ridge. Body and figure are beyond words. No wonder Mr. Guo Moruo said, "If you are long, you will gain one point, and if you are short, you will lose one point." Further on, there is a large lotus pond, the lotus has withered, and the lotus leaves are half green and half yellow, reporting the news of autumn to people. Suddenly, I fell in love with this beautiful and fresh village-Sidu.
When I came to the village branch and listened to the introduction of the village secretary, I realized that Sidu Village not only has charming scenery, but also has profound cultural heritage and touching historical legends. It turns out that "capital" refers to the place where water sources meet. Wujiang has been the ten capitals of one two three four five six seven eight nine along Taihu Lake since ancient times. It can be seen that the four capitals have a long history, which is said to have existed during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At present, there are four ancient bridges in Sidu Village, namely Doctor Bridge, Zhu Lin Bridge, Wanshan Bridge, Yining Bridge, Shixianggong Temple and a millennium ginkgo tree, which makes people can't help but find out.
When I came to the ginkgo tree, I saw the branches of the ancient tree were thick and luxuriant, and the dense branches pointed directly at the sky. Several old aunts ran excitedly to see how thick it was, and five people gathered in a circle before they hugged it. It is really a thousand-year-old tree. According to the village party secretary, this ancient ginkgo tree has a history of more than 800 years. There used to be a temple dedicated to Wu beside the old tree, but it no longer exists. However, in order to pin their good wishes, the villagers built another temple next to the ancient trees, offering incense and praying on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The ancient and vicissitudes of Ginkgo biloba have witnessed the ups and downs of the whole village. Like the patron saint of the villagers, it silently guards the village and guards the home. Under the ancient ginkgo, there are some fitness equipment, and from time to time, villagers twist their waists to exercise.
Walking along the river, a group of double bridges came into view, which turned out to be the famous doctor bridge. It is still like a Chinese character with a curl and a stroke to form an eight-character, which was originally called the eight-character bridge. Legend has it that at the end of Yuan Dynasty, a Feng Shui gentleman said that Niuziwei, opposite the Bazi Bridge, was a lying cow. If you put two horns on the cow's head, the lying cow will turn over and a "noble person" will appear. Later, according to Mr. Feng Shui, the locals built these two splayed bridges at the intersection of the two ports, which looked like a pair of horns. In the local dialect, "eight characters" is homophonic with "doctor", which will be renamed as "doctor bridge" after a long time, placing local people's hopes on "noble people". Between the two bridges, there is a vase-shaped stone mortar. There is another legend about the origin of this kind of stone mortar. It is said that Liu Bowen, a strategist of Zhu Yuanzhang, went down to the south of the Yangtze River and passed by here. When he saw this eight-shaped "horn", he decided that there would be an emperor here. Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Bowen decided to crack this geomantic omen, so he asked someone to make a stone mortar at Shuangqiao intersection, that is, the part of the bull's head, which means that a nail was nailed to the bull's head so that the cow could not turn over, so that there would be no emperor here. Today, this stone mortar has become a place for people to pray. Many villagers burn incense and pray here, making good wishes, wishing their children success in their studies and learning things on the next level.
Standing on the ancient stone bridge, overlooking the clear Taihu Lake, I imagined what a prosperous scene it was. Ships shuttle back and forth, fishermen fish and drink water, and villagers live and work in peace and contentment ... It seems that the history of Sidu Village can be traced back to a long time ago, and we can't help but respect this village. Old stone bridges and old ginkgo trees add a sense of history to this modern village.
On the way back, I met an old aunt who had just dug up a big bag of taro from the ground. Fresh taro and edamame make the aunt in the city look greedy. The old aunt smiled and said, "Here, we breathe fresh air and eat all the natural foods we grow. Now the village is well built and the living conditions are no worse than those in the city. " Said, and pointed to the beautiful three-story building in front, invited us to be a guest.
Yes, urban-rural integration has accelerated the pace of rural construction. In today's rural areas, all supporting facilities are complete, and residential buildings are clean and tidy, which is more beautiful than gardens!
? Sidu village is a beautiful village where tradition and modernity are integrated, and history and future coexist.
