The overseas Chinese living abroad account for 1 / 10 of the county's population, and are distributed in 46 countries and regions in the world.

Development history

In December 1988, the county museum was established, covering an area of 165 square meters.

Mingxi County, formerly known as Guihua County, was surveyed twice in 1982 and 1988. 41 ancient sites, 1 ancient kiln site, 4 ancient tombs, 4 ancient buildings and 15 revolutionary cultural relics were found. 32 species of teeth and bones of mammals in the Pliocene quaternary 20000 years ago were collected at scissors pier, which is one of the most concentrated places in Southeast China. Among them, several animal bones were burned by fire, which shows that As early as 10000 years ago, our ancestors hunted here. This discovery will fill the gap of Paleolithic Archaeology in Fujian Province. In the prehistoric cave site at the foot of Nanshan pagoda, a large number of production tools such as stone arrowheads, stone axes, stone axes, net pendants, pottery spinning wheels, as well as living utensils such as Pingyan kuokou pot, black pottery beans, pots, and large pieces of braised earth living surface have been unearthed, proving that the ancestors lived here more than 5000 years ago, mainly hunting and collecting primitive farming Second, a relatively stable life.

The revolutionary cultural relics are mainly characterized by the huge propaganda cartoons of the eastern army, the commemorative medals of the Fourth Red Army games, and the victory of the Red Army in conquering quanshangtubao.

"Exhibition of historical relics" displays fossils of South China fauna more than 20000-30000 years ago, which are listed as one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in Fujian Province in 1988. Nanshan site is the first prehistoric residential site discovered and preserved in Fujian Province.

Discovery of cultural relics

Cultural relics are non renewable precious resources. It is of great significance and role to protect the ancient buildings and keep the fading historical background for creating historical and cultural "temperament" and developing local tourism economy.

Huilong bridge is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients. It is still complete and beautiful without repair. The Party committee and government of Xiafang township have realized the historical value of huilongqiao and are ready to develop its tourism.

Due to the continuous repair and protection of later generations, the Xu family compound is still relatively intact. Part of the house was let out by the Li family, and the residents would make up for the damage from time to time. In 2009, Xiafang township has applied to the higher authorities for the county-level cultural relics protection units.

What is worth paying attention to is the "ancient residential street" in Hufang. Due to natural factors such as rain erosion, cold wave and insect damage, and the influence of villagers' life and activities in the building, several houses are dilapidated to varying degrees. Nowadays, some of the residents go abroad, some move, and most of them don't live here. At present, there are only more than one family with the surname of Chen and the family with five guarantees in Su's house, while there are only five or six families in Li's house. Due to the general economic situation of farmers, and the lack of awareness of heritage protection, housing leakage, mildew, wall damage and other phenomena are increasingly serious.

Hufang town is also aware of the urgent need to protect the complex. When the flood occurred in June, Yan Mugen, the head of the town's cultural station, went to the place to check the situation. He found that there was rain leakage and reminded the residents to pay close attention to repair and protection. However, most of the villagers answered that it was OK to have no money or no one to live in. Mingxi County Museum has proposed to the relevant departments to strengthen the management and protection of Hufang ancient residential street, and is ready to help it apply to the county and province for different levels of cultural relics protection units.

The three newly discovered ancient buildings in Mingxi have been listed in the fourth batch of county-level cultural relics protection units.
