It is said that the first family with the surname Li settled here, so it was named Lijiashan. Later, people from Shandong and Henan came to settle here. Now there are many people with surnames of Zhang, he, Li and Qi living in the village.

Mr. Li quanke, a villager of Lijiashan, said that the family surnamed Li in Lijiashan first moved up the mountain from Xibao, Shidian village. When Li quanke (born in 1930) was a child, he went to the grave with his father's generation on Tomb Sweeping Day in Shidian.

On Lijiashan reservoir, there is an existing "example presented to xiuzhilang, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, to elect the Secretary for training As a gift to Li Taijun, a Confucianist in Yuan Dynasty.... " Tombstone. On the back of the stele is a picture of Li's lineage recorded in March of the 41st year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. It was written that Li's "ancestral home was from Zhongshidian, southwest Township, Quwo County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province, and later moved to Lijiashan during the reign of shijiajing (1522-1566 A.D.)".

According to Quwo County annals in Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, Lijiashan village belongs to yiqiaoli; there are 12 households in Lijiashan, including 19 males, 10 females and 2 younger ones; in the 17th year of the Republic of China, Quwo County annals recorded that Lijiashan village belongs to Shidian village. In the 1980s, Lijiashan became an administrative village of its own. In 2000, there were 45 households and 153 people in Lijiashan, with 46.57 hectares of arable land and a per capita income of 1713 yuan.

Two major droughts occurred in the third and twenty sixth years of the reign of Emperor Guangxu. The villagers in Lijiashan were hungry for persimmon leaves. Some people starved to death, some fled to Henan. The legend of the flow of people of the old generation: "in the third year of Guangxu, the drought was wide, the autumn did not harvest, and the wheat was restless.".

In the history of Lijiashan, there was only one brick gate in the west of the village. "Ning Shuang" is written outside the gate, and "Ju Xiu" is written inside the gate. The gate is still in good condition. The place where the school is now built in the village used to be the temple of the emperor. The temple has a main hall in the north and a stage in the south. There used to be a three hole cave outside the west gate, in which there were statues of Bodhisattva, earth and other gods.

Lijiashan, mountain terrain, East and west "Lotus platform", "niuzuiling", "tiger head", "scorpion pimple". In the north of "tiger head", there is "baozi city", and there are still some earth walls in the old site.

On the western half of Lijiashan village, where is called "tapo", there used to be a seven storey tower, the famous "shadowless tower" in Quwo. According to legend, there are treasures of the pagoda, golden pot and golden rooster, which were stolen by nanmanzi. In the 1960s, the tower was demolished, with stone slabs and plates under its base. The stone plate is rectangular and golden in the sunlight. It was lost when it was pulled back to the village.

In 1938, there were wounded soldiers from Kuomintang troops and a stretcher platoon living in Lijiashan. On April 21 of that year, the Japanese army set out from houmanau village, passed dongyangcheng, and then went up Lijiashan. The Japanese army brutally stabbed and killed 16 wounded soldiers, set fire to all the stretcher platoons hiding in the cave, and shot and killed dozens of people seeking refuge in villages and mountains. The Japanese army stayed on the mountain for three days, then was repulsed by Kuomintang troops.

After Houma's second liberation in 1947, land reform teams were stationed in villages in 1948. Li Jiashan's team member is Dong Aimin of Zhang shaocun.

Under the guidance of the party's policy of enriching the people, the Party branch and the village committee of Lijiashan village, on the basis of stabilizing the land contract responsibility system, combined with the reality of more land and less people, give full play to the advantages of the mountainous area, give priority to planting, actively develop food production, grow vegetables, plant trees, raise chickens and sheep, encourage villagers to pick up small jujubes and repair roads, so as to facilitate the transportation up and down the mountain, and increase the number of villagers With the increase of income, life has improved year by year.

architectural style

According to Li's genealogy book, "Li Duan, the first ancestor, moved from xiaxipo village in Linxian county to Lijiashan village in the third grade of Zhaoxian capital in Linxian County during the reign of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty (1465-1487)"

Houses in Lijiashan Village

After generations of reproduction, the Li family became a large family in the middle of Qing Dynasty. At that time, business flourished in Qikou, and the Li family also got involved in business. According to (genealogy) and word-of-mouth data, there were two major tycoons in Lijiashan at that time: Li Dengxiang, the East tycoon, who was called Xiang tycoon, opened "dehedian" and "wanshengyong" in Qikou; Li Defeng, the West Tycoon, opened "sanhehou" in Qikou. These two families have a prosperous fortune, and they can compete with the Chen family in Xiwan village in Qikou.

With money, they gradually began to build. They invited Mr. Feng Shui to watch. There are two small gullies flowing southward in Lijiashan village, which converge in the south of the village and flow into the Yellow River. The hills between the two gullies look like Phoenix heads, and the left and right mountains are wind wings. This terrain surrounded by mountains, Mr. Feng Shui repeatedly said: "this Tun is in the direction of Gen long Geng, east mountain moon rises in Zhongge cave, no meandering person is afraid of ugly Yin gas entering, rich and noble dragon should be..." (in genealogy)

The East owner built on Feng, the West owner built on Feng's right wing, and Feng's left wing is still the old village. It seems that the East and the West are competing in secret. On the high hillside of about 40 degrees, hundreds of meters, they are elaborately designed and constructed. According to the situation of the mountain, they are stacked up and down. From the ditch to the top, there are as many as nine floors, with different shapes and styles.

The buildings in Lijiashan village are all built with water polished bricks, bricks, wood, stone carvings and exquisite plaques everywhere.

Most of the side rooms and stables are one or two hard roof tile roofed houses. The streets are high and low, lined with stones and paved with stones. The layout of waterways is reasonable, and the center of the ditch is rolled up to send water out of the village.

At present, Lijiashan village, large and small, has more than 100 homes, 400 houses, more than 220 families and 760 people. In the west of the Qing Dynasty, most of the buildings are built by the surname Li. Although some of them are dilapidated, they are still well preserved. Feng's left wing ditch is still called an old village or a small village. There are two families named Chen and Cui. They said that before Li moved here, it was called Chen Jiawan.

Compared with the big village, the architectural style of the small village is totally different. There are still people living in "yizhuxiang" Tuyao cave with one door and one window in the small village. Some people say that they still live in primitive cave life, which is no exaggeration in terms of housing. In addition, most of the villages are connected by earthen kilns, Stone Arch Caves, and brick and tile buildings are rare.

There are more than eight kinds of folk houses in Lijiashan village. These luxurious Qing Dynasty buildings and cave dwellings are all attached to the soul of the Chinese nation. They are indeed national things. As experts say, the natural scenery and cultural landscape here complement each other, it contains the loess customs and rich Yellow River culture.
