Xiang Gong and "Xianggong"

"The stone rice you eat, the white sandy beach, the big mosquito in the summer, the northwest wind in winter, the stars and the moon, the whole body is sediment." This text reflects the hardships of the life of sandy reclamation in the early years. When I walked towards Gongcun, Hezhuang Street, I suddenly thought of this "folk song". "The tide is watery, and the tide goes white." In the past, the area of ​​Hezhuang was almost such a "ignorance." Perhaps, you leaned down and listened carefully. The land was also infiltrated with the sound of the Qiantang River.

According to relevant historical materials, the Gongcun used to be the Nansha area of ​​Haining. Later, with the changes of the Qiantang River Road, the land in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties stained the land. At that time, farmers in Shaoxing and other places moved to reclamation and settled, and gradually formed villages. In 1949, he belonged to the 13th village of Shushan Township, 1956 Agricultural Society, 1961 Ahead of the Brigade, 1981 to the Gong Grand Team, and to Xianggong Village after 1984. The name of "Xiang Gong" is derived from the "Xianggong Temple" in the village. Because of the homophonic "Xiang" and "Xiang", it has become "Xianggong Village".

"The eighteen temple along the river, the temple worship Zhang Gong." Zhang Laoxiang, who commemorates Zhang Xiaxiang, commemorated in Xianggong Temple in Gongcun, can be seen everywhere in Xiaoshan District and Qiantang District Jiangdong District. He is regarded as "Tide God" by future generations. Zhang Xia, the official during the Northern Song Dynasty, during the period of Song Jingyou, was a transshipment for two Zhejiang. At that time, the Qiantang Jiangjiang Tong had been in disrepair for a long time. In addition, Jiangtang was built with firewood and soil at that time. Zhang Xia organized the people to build ponds with stones and protect the pile outside the pond to protect the impact of the tide. Later, Zhang Xia died due to the public.

On the sixth day of March of the lunar calendar each year, the birthday of the legend Zhang Xia, along the river in many places, has the custom of worshiping Zhang Xia. Folk Culture Festival and Xianggong Temple Fair will also be held to Gongcun. This day is a lively festival. People commemorate Zhang Laoshan and inherit the arduous "reclamation spirit". "Zhang Xia Suiyou, harmonious to the public", this is not only a cultural brand to Gongcun, but also contains the cultural pulse of Xiang Gongcun. Xiang Gong, the endless soil and soil of this side was bred by the endless Qiantang River.

In the final analysis, the spirit of reclamation in the bones of each Sandman comes from "water control". The older generation of villagers still remembers the reclamation of the year. Picking the reclamation, mostly in the northwest windy season. At that time, the wind that was shaved at that time could only be personalized by people who had experienced themselves. But as long as it is "hot", even if you hit barefoot and wear single clothes, you don't feel cold. "One person, a flat burden, and two soil pupa" can simply express the reclamation situation at the time. At that time, if the reclamation was summarized in one word, it was a "pick" word.

A good day is picked out with both shoulders. Today, walking in Xianggong Village, the road is clean, the river is clear, and the plants are lush parks. The farmer's courtyard is novel and chic. The flowers fall in front of the court. On the roof of the family, the sky is blue and white clouds. The hard -working villagers still returned early and planted the land. When the farm is leisure, the villagers will also chat and read the book. Or like me, walk around the village, take a look, and think about "Xianggong" and "Xianggong" by the way. Suddenly, the name "Xiang Gong" can actually mean "yearning for fairness, openness, fairness, public welfare ..." Thinking, I feel that "Xiang Gong" has another realm.
