After the sunny, hot and high temperature weather this summer, the water levels of many river reservoirs in the city have dropped significantly. In Nanzhang , an ancient house in the Ming and Qing dynasties that had been submerged for decades has once again surfaced and regained people's memory of history.
67-year-old Lu Qingyu is an old villager in Qijiagang Village, Limiao Town, Nanzhang County. Not long ago, when he passed by Laoyagou in the village, he found that due to the drop in the water level, dozens of residential ruins were exposed, and this is his past home.
Villager Lu Qingyu said that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, his ancestors moved from Shanxi to Nanzhang. In the middle and upper reaches of the Shimen Reservoir, he took a fancy to the rich forest resources and rice fields here, so he stayed to settle down. By the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Lu family had become a local big family, building houses and building roads here one after another. This two-kilometer bluestone road is an important passage to the local Shimenji. In 1966, in order to support the construction of Shimen Reservoir, the Lu family and other villagers who had lived here for hundreds of years moved to the surrounding area of the reservoir, leaving behind a large number of bluestone strips used for road mats and as foundations. In 1969, with the completion of Shimen Reservoir, the old streets, house bases, stone roads, etc. here were submerged in the water. This summer, the city encountered a drought that had not been encountered in decades, and the ancient resident ruins were exposed again.
, Chairman of Nanzhang County Folk Artists Association, introduced that this site is more than 1,000 meters long and 300 meters wide, at least 200,000 square meters. It has streets, houses, ancient post roads, and ancient wells. There are ancient kiln sites next to it. It has very complete functions and a very large scale.
Literary and historical experts said that in this Ming and Qing dynasties residents' ruins, the past rice fields, pigpens, Erlang Temple, ancient stone tablets, etc. were all preserved completely and clearly, providing a physical basis for studying the Lu family and local economy, culture, religion, etc. In the past few days, Nanzhang County is speeding up the time to organize local cultural and historical personnel to study this large site.
