Beihai old farmer

Zhou Shengchuan is the founder of Xiaozhan Town and Xiaozhandao . He is the father of Xiaozhan Town and Xiaozhandao. He will be forever associated with the place name small station . Let’s get to know Zhou Shengchuan. Zhou Shengchuan (1833-1885) had the courtesy name Xinru. The combination of his name and character means the continuation of the fire from generation to generation. The phrase "The Legend of Xinjinhuo" comes from " Zhuangzi ". Firewood is firewood, which can be used for people to light fires to obtain light and heat. Large and thick trees can be split as firewood, and small and thin trees can be bundled into bundles. After the firewood is burned out, it can still be used as firewood. Burning other firewood, the fire will never be exhausted, just like the country and the nation continue to develop from generation to generation. Zhou Shengchuan called himself "Beihai Old Farmer" in his later years. In "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan", the Bohai Sea is called the North Sea. Zhou Shengchuan used his army to farm in Tianjin Xiaozhan . Zhou Shengchuan was like planting rice. He devoted himself to digging rivers, building sluices, planting rice and planting trees for more than ten years. Although he was a general, he was more like an old farmer. Zhou Shengchuan's literature on small station reclamation contains many mottos and proclamations to guide the reclamation work. These proclamations are as detailed as watering, repairing gates, planting trees, transplanting rice and other very specific operation methods. Even today's rice farmers would be ashamed of them. . For example: "Drain salty water and release it outside, so that no trickle of the (sweet water) flows into the river"; "Each camp has finished planting trees, which are currently worth 99%, so they should all plant them quickly, without losing time... Those who have already planted must be irrigated with sweet water urgently." Brush and cultivate sweet soil to make it easy to grow. Those that have not been planted must also be transplanted to a shady place behind the house. First use reed firewood as a base, and then use sweet soil to protect the roots, so as not to damage them. "Jiaoguan... there must be someone handy beside the front of the car to look at it. The size of the tide is the height of the front of the car." On the boat, it must be evenly arranged and not crowded. If the boat is small and there is not enough room for more space, first place an even layer on top of the boat, use sticks to support it, and then place another layer, up to three layers at most, so that the heat does not cause fumigation. It is appropriate...the rice field is either in the new city or in the salt water, but it is only more than twenty miles away, and we can always reach the camp at dawn." "The stone gate must be made of 40% ash and 60% soil. It is very fine and must be rolled over with a stone. First put the dust on both sides. If you want to worry about the wind, cover it with a tent and then mix it down. It may be difficult to drink water if you mix it early..." "Ji Fengzhang, the sentry officer of the cavalry right camp, Yan Zhengli undertook the sluice gate on the north bank of the Xinhe River in Zhongtangwa. The project was sloppy and had a record of demerits..." and so on, which makes people feel that the person who wrote the proclamation is exactly the same as an old farmer who provides guidance for future generations. Zhou Shengchuan’s nickname is Beihai Old Farmer, and he definitely lives up to his name. Zhou Shengchuan took the title of Beihai Old Farmer, indicating that he valued the experience of transforming Jinnan water conservancy, developing wasteland, cultivating Xiaozhan rice, and establishing Xiaozhan Town more than the illustrious military exploits in the previous half of his life, leaving a lasting legacy.
