history

It is said that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, he's family moved from Yunnan to dongwuyixiang village, Beizhai. A few years later, the elder died. The two brothers, together with their wives and children, moved to Li village on the East Bank of the upper reaches of the Baisha River, named Hedong Village, which has been handed down to the 15th generation. Later, in the tide of Ming Dynasty immigrants, Xu's ancestors moved from Yunnan Province to Li village on the West Bank of the upper reaches of the Baisha River through the prince stream in Jimo and Shazikou, known as "Hexi". In the following hundred years, the Xu family (different from the Xu family), the sun family, the Jiang family and the Wang family also settled in the village one after another. At present, the number of people surnamed he is in the majority, accounting for about 60% of the total population of the village, followed by Xu, accounting for about 20%.

Scenery

The natural landscape of Hedong Village is legendary and amazing. Huang zongchong's "night tour of nine rivers" said: "seven water, double peaks with water, as steep as the door, stream on the big stone dome ran." Between the two natural villages in Hedong and Hexi, there is a peak which is independent of the water. It is tan and looks like a landscape bonsai. It is called "xiaodanqiu". It is also called "xianrenji" because it looks like a bun. There is a clear pool of water under the hill. It is said that he Xiangu, one of the eight immortals, used to borrow the pool to wash, so she is also known as the "little toilet". About 200 meters behind the village, it is one of the famous twelve sceneries of Laoshan Mountain, which is also called "camel peak". The peak stands majestically, more than 300 meters high, with rocks and white clouds floating on the top of the mountain. It is as majestic and vivid as a camel with its head held high. It is said that there are three crystal minerals in the peak rock. Because of the essence of bathing the sun and the moon for thousands of years, the spirit of heaven and earth is transformed into crystal three fairies. There are two caves, black and yellow, 50 meters below the top of camel peak. They are called "black nest" and "yellow nest" by the local people, which are the places where the legendary fairies live. "Camel peak", "xiaodanqiu" and other scenic spots have always been admired by painters and photographers. In the west of the village is the new Sishui reservoir built in 2002, which is like flawless green jadeite inlaid between the two mountains. In the east of the village, there are many mountains with jagged rocks, lying, standing, running, laughing, thinking and quiet Among them, the stone scenes such as "the immortals worship the Buddha" and "Guan Gong stone" are the most vivid, "the beauty of mountains and rivers has been discussed together since ancient times" and "I don't know that the body is still in the human realm". "Farming in the day, farming in the night, and children in the village are in charge of their own homes", which is a true portrayal of Hedong people before the 1980s. The village's 150 mu mountain and thin land is difficult to support the family, so it is assisted by quarrying, family feeding, and women's hand weaving, but life is still poor. When there was not enough food to eat, the villagers walked more than 30 Li mountain road, carried sacks and burdens, and went to wanggezhuang market to buy food. After the implementation of the household contract responsibility system in 1980, the villagers vigorously developed the forestry and fruit industry, and 80% of the farmland was covered by cherry, apricot, hawthorn, peach and other fruit trees. At the same time, many villagers also bought tractors to transport granite. However, with the increasing awareness of ecological protection, the villagers resolutely gave up the quarrying industry, which they had depended on for more than ten years, and gradually integrated into the tide of developing tourism economy. Especially after the first cherry festival of Beizhai was held in 1996, every household's "farm banquet" quietly flourished in Hedong Village. Tourists can enjoy eating farmhouse food, sleeping on farmhouse Kang, drinking mountain spring water, tasting nine fruits, as well as buying mountain delicacies such as Laoshan mushroom, Laoshan ginseng, Laoshan Ganoderma lucidum, Laoshan scorpion, etc. In the service for tourists, villagers not only enjoy the happiness of strong popularity, but also increase their income. In 2004, the village's total economic income was 4.96 million yuan, and the per capita income was 4489 yuan.
