Previous plum species everywhere
Richly Meihuacun east, west, "Wang Tian nest." No legendary land of plum, into Meihuacun, but added three trees in front of the village on the century-old banyan tree suddenly attracted our attention. There are small groups of villagers under a tree in the chat, we approached to ask, a 60-year-old villager very warm to us to lead the way. The villagers said that before the big banyan Meihuacun planted generations ago, this village so far has been 500 years of history, ancestors came from Guizhou, relocation, and now more than 300 people in the village will, all HU surname. Why is it called Meihuacun? Here only because the village before the village over the previous species plum fruit, but then the weather gradually gets hot, a dozen years ago, Meihuacun no longer see the fruit of plum blossom, and later slowly withered, until now, actually one are gone.

There are five former village pond, was plum-like distribution, water is very clear, after the village pond neatly lined columns, hillside house, slightly downward, low-village after high before, every yard on the ground is also oblique, are conducive to drain. Each column is a narrow street between the houses quartzite, age-old long moss, stone street every few meters chisel culvert, every household can be discharged sewage water along the terrain has been sent to the front of the village pond and then discharged into the creek. Village is very quiet and clean, not many young people, like the rest of it and the rest of the elderly and children left behind. By passionate owner agrees, I entered an old house, I saw the inside of the pattern is the kitchen, patio, storage room, a hall bedroom, the previous wells can now use.
Plum-shaped windows tell the old rich
Although the whole village could not find a plum, but there is still an old house left plum-shaped windows. The villagers said that there has been a long time no one lived, it is a household in the village, "nine generations does not help the mud," the rich built 100 years ago, was once built a nine such distinctive house. Before 9 Kan Uk has a "rose window", then there are seven of the "rose window" into the general windows. Then after another one longitudinal side lane roadway, I had to find another seat there, "rose window" of the old house. This "rose window" is the only remaining two of the best preserved. The villagers said that before the village a total of 700 acres of arable land, but only lasts three forty people, and therefore household has three mu, the more affluent, attracted a lot of bandits, so the villagers will open a small window with theft. The village has many plum-shaped before the windows of the house, but mostly collapsed, and now only two, and thus become a necessary tourist village land.
Xin Tamura: talented villages
Nan Fung Avenue into the city from the Sanshui (S269) to walk 30 kilometers over the direction of Lubao Lubao Lubao Bridge turn right into the road, a few kilometers after entering S118 go north a few kilometers to go before the big pond of Xin Tamura. Arch into the village, I saw a large pond in front of the village, the water ducks swim freely, scene seamless. Tang Ancestral Hall is behind the pond. Vehicle along a concrete road into the village, street several ancient banyan trees; these trees said to be 120 years old, was admitted to fame ancestors had planted. Stopped the car and asked the villagers, I was told, Sanshui Xin Tai Tong Tin existing around 1,000 villagers, surnamed Li, 700 people, about 300 people surnamed Deng. Now cement road along the edge of the pond have been walking past, about 500 meters away can be found in four temples, 10 representatives of fame flagpole stone, seven sanctum, and a lot of guxiang. We really found fame flagpole stone, it is granite pedestal, about a person high, 10 cm thick, 50 cm apart at one pair of granite top perforation, one with words, to get fame and name of the person marked the years, a wordless , two vertical. Two tie a square hole in the bar, during which can be tied to a flagpole flying the flag, flagpole named Stone.
It contains:In mid-October 1868, one day, the ruling Qing Dynasty Emperor Tongzhi seventh year, Datang Xin Tamura drums, the village first Scholars Li Yi Qing obtain Scholars in this year, this is the big family line, so Lee family surname massive construction projects, invited craftsmen built the great hall. 18 years later, Lee has a one Scholars - Li Huanyao in BingXu Guangxu (1886) passed the successful candidates dimethyl, after hand-picked into Hanlin as Shuji Shi. Since then, here and there have been eight children, surnamed Li, get fame, to be erected on the iconic shrine pond in front of the flagpole to stone.
