As if crossing a hundred years ago

Through the light clouds, the sun fell on the roof of the green gray, and the green rice fields surrounded the simple Xicun Village, which looked neat and quiet. The village is a clear pond, and many European -style foreign buildings are located in the village. The people in the village are like weaving, and the fireworks are constantly. The stone house and the stone road are dyed with a bright golden golden yellow ... In this ancient village, generations of Nishimura villages live happily.

According to the elderly in the village, the history of Xicun Village can be traced back to the Song and Yuan dynasties. "At that time, in order to avoid the war, the ancestors led their children and grandchildren to come here. They felt that this is a good place for mountains and rivers, and people's outstanding people, so they took root here." The old man said.

When I entered the village, I saw the villages and lanes, the layout was reasonable, dense and exquisite, and quite distinctive. Diaolou, ancient bong, folk ancient residences ... as if they are telling the past and the length of the years. Although after hundreds of years of wind and rain, the house still retains a unified style, and the houses on both sides are very close. The green brick houses with unique Guangfu residential houses are thick and simple. The vicissitudes and today are quiet.

After many years, we can still see the more completely preserved buildings. After hundreds of years of storms, we still stand still and retain the charm of the year. Strolling in it, the blue stone slab road and the mottled wall shadow are burned with the mark of time. One stone, one board, one brick and a tile are all historical accumulation. Stepping on the slate roads on the ancient village as if crossing a hundred years ago, the simple atmosphere and heavy sense of history are amazing.

History is flowing, and years are moving forward. Hundred years have passed, the prosperity of the ancient villages gradually silent, but the strong ancient village culture has settled down.

That is to say It is also necessary to save money for future generations. "Huang Zu said that everyone thinks that readers not only have culture and interest, but also can strengthen their country and wealthy family.

Unlike the overseas Chinese who are mostly forced to "survive" and "work", "studying" seems to be a gene that people brought into the blood in Xicun Village. They concentrated their private schools scattered in dozens of dozens of private schools, gave up the family of the Huang's shrine, and invested in Shaoxian School; they sang "Our school is located under the Bailizhan Mountain, cultivating doctoral talents and popular people ... … "The school song has gone through a hundred years, and has come out of 42 doctors and 13 masters involving atomic energy, electronics, law, economics, economics, chemistry, medicine, literature and other fields, becoming a legend.

The villagers of Xicun Village outside the country not only paid attention to the education of their children, but also attached importance to the education of their hometown. They never forget the beauty of education. Along the historical footprints of Shaoxian School, you will find that there are overseas Chinese donations everywhere: in 1972, when the three large temples were converted into a bungalow school building, Huang Yaodong, a folk from Hong Kong, took the lead in donating. "Fengyi Building"; in 1999, Huang Zhuolin, an industrialist in the United States, donated 1 million yuan to build a teaching building, and the Yodaoyi donated the scientific building ... The folks at home and abroad love the country and love the countryside. major factor. The development of the C era
