Three kilometers southwest of Wangjiafang Village, Xinzhai Town, Yucheng, my hometown, there is an ancient, civilized and wealthy village called Diedao Village (also known as Fengshou Village). It is adjacent to Gao Zhan Village in the east, Wangzhuang Village in the northeast, Shizhuang Village in the northwest, Chen Si Village in the north and Huanxiang Road from Xinzhai to Yangquan Village in the south.

By consulting relevant historical materials and interviewing 94-year-old Liu Dianxiang, I learned that in the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (namely 1369), Liu's ancestors Liu and Liu moved into the village from the big pagoda tree in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province, and the village was first named "Liujiazhuang". Later, Kang's ancestor Kang also immigrated from the big pagoda tree in Hongtong County and settled in the village with his family. "Ask me where my hometown is? Shanxi hongdong pagoda tree ","fellow villagers see fellow villagers, tears in their eyes ". Liu and Kang are destined to meet thousands of miles away. They live in harmony here, building and repairing houses, reclaiming cultivated land and thriving.

Liu Dianxiang, a villager who provided materials, is 94 years old.

According to legend, Kang learned the gossip of Yin and Yang in his early years, and he could see the family of Yin and Yang. Whoever builds a house should let him design it. Choosing the foundation, looking at the apartment type, and choosing the date to beam are all-round services. In case of a funeral, let him see a haunted house and choose a good location. It is said that he planned the layout of the well-shaped road in Diedao Village, and he is a famous artist in the village. People nicknamed him "Kang Shenxian" according to the homonym of his name. "Kang Shenxian" is the third brother. According to legend, Kang's second brother settled in Gaotang County. There is also a big brother named Kang Zhenrang in my hometown. He is well-off and kind-hearted, but his left foot is a little disabled. He limped and waited on his elderly mother in his hometown of Hongdong County, so he left his hometown without taking part in immigration. Since then, the three brothers have been separated by one side. Due to inconvenient transportation and forced by life, my brother and three children occasionally correspond, but they haven't seen each other for many years. Kang Zhenrang has a son named Kang Xiaoren, who is very sensible. From an early age, he was determined to learn from the ancient sages, honor his parents and serve the country. Kang Zhen first sent him to a famous local private school for education, and local scholars and teachers taught him knowledge. Under the guidance of a famous teacher, coupled with his intelligence and eagerness to learn, he promoted Xiao Lian, became an official in the DPRK, and worshipped the then Taizai Hu as a teacher. He is fair and cautious, good at observing people's feelings, and has a good reputation. He is appreciated by Hu and reused by Hu. But Kang Xiaoren didn't want to get involved in the struggle between imperial power and relative power when he showed his talents. Due to the excessive power of the prime minister Hu, Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that he was going to usurp power, and he had already sprouted the idea of killing Hu. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the Prime Minister Hu through the "sedan chair murder incident".

According to historical records, in the 13th year of Hongwu (1380), Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, punished the nine clans of Prime Minister Hu on the grounds of "rebellion" and expanded the "power struggle". All the cronies listed by Hu Zai were wiped out, killing more than 30,000 people before and after. "The city gate caught fire, which hurt the fish in the pool." Poor Kang Xiaoren died for his country. "Jumping into the Yellow River can't wash it off." Finally, he was identified as a confidant of Hu. I cried out grievances and grievances, but I still lost my mind, even my family. The entire Kang family, whether it is their hometown Kangjiawa, Liujiazhuang in Yucheng County or Xiaozhangzhuang in Gaotang Prefecture, dozens of families were all killed. Is the dead relatives, Kang Xiaoren ancestors, father Kang Zhenrang, uncle Kang, although dead, but forced by officers and men to dig graves, dismembered, the whole Liujiazhuang was ruined by officers and men, the ground is a mess. The house was burned, the trees were cut down, and then abandoned in a big bay, which also brought trouble to other villagers. This matter is called "Zhu (pig) eats health (bran)" by villagers in Liujiazhuang, and it has been widely circulated so far.

The beautiful river at the head of Diedao Village.

As the saying goes, it never rains but it pours As soon as the man-made disaster subsided, there was another flood. The sky is like a madman, and the wind and rain are raging down. The heavy rain filled the river with trenches, and Liujiazhuang was originally low-lying. The whole village was flooded, countless houses were washed down, roads were flooded, and travel depended on wading. Liu Taigong, the village head, was extremely anxious. He called everyone to discuss countermeasures, and the villagers all agreed to obey the command. Everyone in Qixin, Qi Xin, worked together and took great pains. Hundreds of people, men, women and children started working together. First, pile the two broad sides of the road into an earth weir, then dig the soil out of the surrounding water with a shovel and throw it into the piled earth weir to raise the road (higher than the surrounding water level). "There are many good things to grind." After many days of intense and busy work, the flooded roads in the village finally surfaced and the washed-out houses were repaired. From then on, people don't have to travel by water. People are happy with smiles on their faces. Liu Taigong, the village head, in order to commemorate this historical moment and commend everyone's achievements in building roads by overlapping weir, reported to the government for approval and renamed "Liujiazhuang" as "Diedao Village".

Another origin of diedao village. According to legend, during the Northern Expedition of Yan Wang, due to convenient transportation and overlapping roads extending in all directions, it developed into an important town. The east-west highway in the south of the village is the only way for Gaotang Prefecture to reach Jinan Prefecture, which is called "Nanguan Road". Because the roads leading to the four outer eight townships in the village are nine strands and eight forks, they overlap and overlap, so they are named "Diedao Village". At the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution" in the last century, Diedao Village took out 60 mu of land in the northwest of the village as an experimental field to grow wheat. The following year, the yield of wheat per mu was 500 Jin, which shocked the whole commune and became a demonstration village of Xinzhai Commune. In order to meet the good wishes of Diedao village members looking forward to a bumper harvest in agriculture, the village name was changed to "Harvest Village". After the reform and opening up, the village name was changed back to "Diedao Village", which has been used ever since.

Diedao Village has a long history and profound cultural heritage. On this fertile soil, two outstanding figures emerged during the Republic of China-Gao Mengjiu and Liu Dianxun.

Village Capacity and Village Appearance of Diedao Village

Gao Mengjiu is from Diedao Village, Xinzhai Town. In the early years of the Republic of China, in order to seek the truth of saving the country, he worked hard to learn cultural knowledge. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to Dongchang Normal School with excellent results and accepted Dr. Sun Yat-sen's new democratic thought earlier. The May 4th patriotic movement initiated by Beijing students had a far-reaching influence on him. He hated the shameful behavior of Beiyang warlords who were weak and incompetent outside and suppressed patriotic students at home, and actively participated in political activities organized by progressive teachers in schools to support the patriotic movement of Beijing students. 193 1 year, after the September 18th Incident broke out, Gao Mengjiu and his classmates took to the streets with patriotic passion, calling on all the people of China to unite and keep going abroad. According to the arrangement of the superior organization, he went back to the village to secretly participate in revolutionary activities, contacted the villagers and set up a family protection group. The villagers spontaneously brought axes, sticks, knives and other equipment from home as weapons to fight against the Japanese-puppet mixed group that destroyed the local people, which caused great influence in the surrounding villages and became a "thorn in the side" of the Japanese-puppet mixed group. Later, Gao Mengjiu held a secret meeting in the earth building of Wufoyang Village in this town, and it was known. The bandits organized an army and surrounded the tulou. Gao Mengjiu was shot several times and was seriously injured. Was carried to Weizhaizi Village in this district for treatment. It is said that the bandit leader sent someone to poison Chinese medicine, and the poison killed him. Sun, the only class teacher who introduced Gao Mengjiu to join the organization, has been engaged in underground activities in Liaocheng. Later, because of the traitor's betrayal, he was arrested by the Kuomintang and died heroically. Gao Mengjiu's identity is still a mystery. During the "Cultural Revolution", the superiors sent people to Diedao Village to visit and investigate. Because Gao Meng's nine families are upper-middle class farmers, they stand aside and have been engaged in secret activities. On the surface, they are no different from ordinary miscellaneous organizations. They lost contact with the party organization for many years, and the parties who knew the situation died one after another. Therefore, the investigators did not get valuable clues and returned in vain. After many years, no one mentioned it again.

The picture shows the land temple built by villagers in Diedao Village who donated more than 20,000 yuan spontaneously.

Liu Dianxun is from Diedao Village, Xinzhai Town. Born in a wealthy family, he is naturally smart and has excellent academic performance. He studied in the Political Department of yenching university, and later served as a member of the Party Department of Shandong Province, assisting Zhang Zongchang, the provincial president, in managing government affairs, and then assisting Han Fuqu, the chairman of Shandong Province, in managing government affairs. He is decent, honest and has a good reputation. He has done some good things for the people. It coincided with the Japanese invasion of Northeast China and oppression of North China. It made many suggestions to Han Fuqu, and suggested that North Korea make plans to resist Japanese aggression as soon as possible, but it was rejected by Han Fuqu. He hated the decadent rule of the Kuomintang, and because of his patriotic enthusiasm, his political ambitions could not be put into practice. Desperate, he felt that the tide was over and submitted his resignation in a rage. It is said that he later went to teach at Qingdao University. After the Japanese invaders occupied Shandong, they returned home due to illness and died soon.

Wang Hebei, male, born in Yucheng, Shandong Province, is a senior middle school teacher, a member of Shandong Prose Society, a member of Dezhou Writers Association and a member of Yucheng Writers Association. I like reading books, studying online, traveling, digging and sorting out village records. Articles are scattered in newspapers such as Lubei Literature and Dezhou Daily, and online platforms such as Dezhou Writers Association.
