Waiting for us in the village is a 72-year-old man who leads us to walk and talk. Speaking of Minister Zhai, the old people are like a few treasures. More than 3,000 years ago, when the King of Wu attacked Zhou, the army crossed the Yellow River from Jin Meng and entered today's Jiaozuo area, approaching the capital of Shang Dynasty. After setting up the camp, King Wu ordered people to set up a stage to offer sacrifices and ask about the future. The long-haired wizard danced a mysterious dance, then held the turtle shell in his hand and sprinkled water on the fire to make it burn. After a long time, the crack on the turtle's back is vaguely the word "Chang" King Wu was overjoyed and went north the next day. Six days later, in Konoha, he fought a decisive battle with the Shang army and won a decisive victory. Later, people called this place a "cloth field", and later a stockade was built in the village, which evolved into a "cloth field". Although the old man has a strong northern Henan accent, his profound knowledge and distinctive personality deeply infect us.
Zhaibuchang Village is located five kilometers southeast of Bo 'ai County, with Wenbo Highway in the west, Qinhe Plain in the south and Zheng Jin Highway in the north. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were many officials in Zhaibuchang village and their family background was prominent. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Wang Taishun's business was established, with more than 270 stores all over the country. Due to good management, the business reached its peak during Jiaqing and Daoguang years, creating a large-scale folk house in Qing Dynasty. The architectural forms are mostly one into two courtyards, the west main courtyard and the east cross courtyard, which combines the architectural styles of North and South. The stone carvings, woodcuts and inscriptions in the courtyard have their own merits, especially the unique stone couplet and celebrity calligraphy plaque, which have attracted tourists from all over the world.
The old man took us to the Fifth Hospital first. There are two couplets at the gate, the main couplet is embedded in the walls on both sides of the gate, and the auxiliary couplet is embedded on both sides of the wooden door of the gate. This couplet is the tallest stone carving couplet, with a height of 420 cm, a width of 38.5 cm and a thickness of 32 cm. Joint article:
Holding a pearl flag outside the door, serving the country once held a three-foot sword;
Luo Yushu in front of the court has only five books at home.
Bead flag refers to a flag decorated with beads. Wang Yuan Xu's "Selected Works of the Quasi-Emperor Wu Qiu Huan": "The sword crosses the autumn frost, and the pearl flag drags the bright moon." Yushu refers to the fairy tree in myths and legends. Tang Li Bai's Song of Huaixian: "The immortal Haoge wants me to come, so I should climb Yushu and look forward to it." "Holding the Pearl Flag, once holding a three-foot sword, Luo Yushu, and only five chariots" in the couplet shows the great ambition of the Wang family in literature and martial arts and their loyalty to the country. You can imagine the style of the royal family from the couplets.
Secondary couplets are embedded on both sides of the wooden door of the gate;
Yan Yi plans, Shi Zecheng;
Gui Zhang is highly valued.
Yan Yi's plan comes from "The Book of Songs": "The prince of Wu is not an official, he loses and takes Yan." "Song Shi Le Zhi Jiu": "The power is great, and the swallow wings make plans." At first, it refers to Zhou Wuwang looking for his grandson and taking care of his son, but later it refers to making plans for his successor. The imperial court refers to the emperor's strategy or enlightenment. Tang Cen Can's poem "Sending Swallows to the Plain" says: "My brother is in Heshuo Town, and I have come to pay homage to the emperor." The couplets show that the Wang family never forgets the majesty of the emperor, inspires future generations to inherit their ancestral business and be loyal to the court, and shows the great demeanor of the Wang family.
The second stone couplet is in front of the gate of the First Hospital. The main couplet is 400 cm high, 38.5 cm wide and 32 cm thick.
Lin Shi is marked by eight trades, with elegant book style, and Rong Lu is the first;
Longmen Yan six classics, teaching literature, rites and music sages.
Lin Shi refers to Chunqiu. Zhang Tang said Cui's second elegy: "Fengchi hurts the old grass and Lin Shi cries." Fu refers to a dress embroidered with colorful patterns. "White and black are fu, green and red are fu, and both are elegant." It refers to the clothes worn by emperors and senior officials, and refers to Lord Lu. Tang Qianqi's poem "Being a Mountain Man" said: "The Japanese order worships Fu, and the world competes." The "Eight Professions, Six Classics, Lovers, Articles, Rong Lu and Sages" in Lianzhong is a portrayal of the prominent position of the Wang family and the official scholar family at that time.

Back to Tianbao Wangchuan Villa, the spring is beautiful and elegant;
He Yong Lanting Prefaces Confucianism.
The first part borrows Wang Wei from the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, and the second part borrows Wang Xizhi from the Preface to Lanting Collection in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to illustrate the elegance of the Wang family. This couplet is elegant and full of charm.
The old man Wang Qijian told us that it is said that these two extra-large stone couplets were built by Wang Qiying and Wang Qijun, the richest men in the village, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The old man said with great regret that it was a pity that the couplets did not indicate who wrote them and who carved them, which also became a mystery. After writing the couplets, the old man told us about the protection of these monuments in the past few years. Yes, there are 93 buildings with 405 Ming and Qing dwellings, exquisite wood carvings and vigorous stone carvings, which do not shine with the wisdom of the ancients and pour into the painstaking efforts of the protector Rainbow. In September 2000, the former residence of Zhaibuchang Village in Ming and Qing Dynasties was announced as a cultural relic protection unit by Henan Provincial People's Government. Now, Aibo people are making unremitting efforts to enter the ranks of national protection.
