The Yutang Pavilion in the lotus pond in front of us was built by villagers to commemorate Mr. Cun Shusheng, the first principal of Shunyi Group Middle School and the later vice-school doctor of Yunnan University, which embodies the fine tradition of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching.
There is a pavilion inscribed by Chu Tunan, former vice chairman of the National People's Congress.
village entrance
The road into the main village goes straight through the middle of the dam, and it is named Shuanghongqiao because it looks like a double rainbow. Under the bridge, ducks and geese swim in the water, lying on the right in ancient times, which is a good place for people to enjoy the moon in spring.
Residents are still washing clothes in the laundry booth by the water.

Enthusiasts enthusiastically donated books and increased the collection of books. With the continuous expansion of scale, with the support of overseas Chinese living in Myanmar, the old building of 1938 was demolished and a new building combining Chinese and western styles was built. The president of Reading Newspaper, Ai Siqi Gegezhuang and the famous educator Cun Shusheng successively served as presidents.
The library is full of vitality, not only collecting books and borrowing newspapers, but also establishing the mimeographed newspaper "Three Days News" through the radio news broadcast, becoming the earliest newspaper in Tengchong. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, in order to spread important news to the people as soon as possible, the three-day journal was changed into a daily newspaper, which contributed to the propaganda of resisting Japan and saving the nation.

Walking into this quiet garden, this two-story building with half pavilion and cloister is the main building of the library, which has a history of nearly 70 years. This is a Chinese-style building with two floors and five squares, in which the second and fourth squares protrude into a hexagonal pavilion. The whole roof truss has fewer columns and more beams, elegant walls and bright interior.
Behind the main building is the library building completed in 1998, an all-steel antique two-story building with eaves. The completion of this building has further improved the collection and capacity of the library.

Is it really valuable? Zang Zhen Two words. There are more than 70,000 books in the museum, ranking first among the rural cultural circles in China.
This is the original stack room. Up to now, the lock on the door, the seal on the desk, the clock and the iron bars of the front two doors were all purchased from Myanmar by Shunhuaqiao at the early stage of building the museum. Many newspapers, living specimens and large-scale series such as Wan You Library were sent from Shanghai via Myanmar. How difficult was it when the traffic was extremely underdeveloped at that time, so it was suitable for people? Rich people know more about manners? And persistent pursuit of culture.
A solid cultural foundation breeds talents.

Now, along the country road paved with volcanic rocks, let's visit the old house together.
Civilian residence
Heshun people live by mountains and rivers. At first, there were five surnames: Cun, Liu, Li, Yin and Jia, who came here to shovel grass and set up a village to reclaim land. Subsequently, Zhang, Yang, Zhao, Xu and Chuan entered. People with different surnames live in different families, and many lanes are formed from top to bottom according to the mountain situation, and each lane is equipped with a master gate, which was called in ancient times? Tuen Mun? . There is a platform opposite Lumen, where evergreen trees such as banyan and Cinnamomum camphora are planted, and stone tables and benches are set under the trees for people to enjoy the cool and rest. Some platforms have also built a wall along the outer edge to keep out the geomantic omen.
The large-scale ancient houses in Heshun are all in the architectural style of Qing Dynasty, which is inseparable from the prosperity of Heshun's economy and culture after the middle of Qing Dynasty. What ancient houses are there? Three squares, one zhaobi courtyard, four in one and five patios? And so on, there have been some buildings combining Chinese and western styles in modern times. These houses are not only beautifully designed, but also beautifully carved and painted. What is particularly distinctive is that they all use volcanic rocks to build towering and solid stone feet. Although they are not coated with cement, they have not been deformed for hundreds of years.
Wanlouzi
Now we come to Heshun, one of the residential buildings? Bend the floor? Why is it called this name? Its wall is built along the curve of the roadway, so people call it? Bend the floor? . It is a multinational company founded in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty? Yongmao? The name of the Li family. Tengchong people used to talk about the richest local businessmen. Just say? East, east, west, east bend building? , visible? Yongmao? The company has abundant capital and a long history of operation.
Now it has been turned into a residential museum, with the first courtyard as a display of family history, the second courtyard as a display of Heshun residential culture, and residential hotels in the backyard, which can provide elegant and exquisite accommodation for tourists who want to stay in Heshun.
Laundry kiosk
Now we see these laundry kiosks with the style of Jiangnan water town, along the Heshun River, there is one every other. Was that in those days? Going abroad? Some men build it for women who stay at home to be filial to their parents-in-law and raise their children, and shelter them from the wind and rain when washing clothes and vegetables.
Now we go to visit the Liu ancestral hall along the stone road near the village.
Liushi ancestral hall
Heshun * * * has eight ancestral halls: Village, Liu, Li, Yin, Jia, Zhang, Sichuan and Yang, which are eight ancestral halls of Heshun. Different architectural styles have different construction times. Most of them are resplendent and antique. Liu's ancestral hall is one of the more representative places.
Liu's Ancestral Hall was built in the fifth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1856). Although it has gone through a century and a half of vicissitudes, it remains intact.
In front of the ancestral hall is a half-moon lotus pond with double L-shaped stone bridges leading to the platform with exquisite arched doors. Entering the ancestral hall, the main hall, the wing and the main hall are in turn. The main hall is a place dedicated to Zhao Tengzu, which is extremely solemn.
In the past, the ancestral hall belonged to one family and one surname, but now, its significance has gone far beyond the original scope and has become an important place to display Heshun architectural culture and folk culture. In front is Heshun Shuidui Village, formerly known as Jiaoxi Village, which was renamed as Shuimo Shuidui. The village is small, but it is famous, because there are not only charming scenery here, but also a generation of philosopher Ai Siqi.
Longtan Heyuan longge
This pool of clear water is called. Longtan? Surrounded by mountains on three sides and dikes on one side. The water in the pool is crystal clear, and on the platform outside the pool, tall ancient banyan trees and camphor trees are lush.
Speaking of the origin of this pool of green water, it turns out that there is no such deep pool here. During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, the spring water at the foot of the mountain suddenly gushed out, and the fierce water suddenly flooded Heshun Dam. The locals think so? Dragon god? And hold a large-scale demonstration? Solitaire activities. At the same time, a dam was built to store water as a pool, named? Longtan? Then Brother Yuan Long was built by the pool.
Yuanlongge is backed by green hills and faced with green water, rising step by step. It is composed of mountain gate, Sanguan Hall, Kuixing Pavilion and Guanyin Hall, with ingenious conception and compact structure.
Main building? Kuixingge? There is a couplet on the pillars on both sides: Including the stick, Shu? That means human dragon head. That's it? Yuanlongge? The origin of the name.
Aisiqi Former Residence
This is the former residence of Ai Siqi, a famous Marxist philosopher. It belongs to the quadrangle that combines Chinese and western, simple and elegant. High-rise compound, with a series of buildings and columns, decorated with western-style balconies. The former residence faces Long Yuan Youtan in front and Fengshan in the back, with high terrain and beautiful environment.
The former residence was built in the eighth year of the Republic of China (A.D. 19 19). That's the new house that Ai Siqi's father Li Rilai built when he was the director of Yunnan Civil Affairs and Justice Department and the mine supervisor. With a building area of 932 square meters, it consists of living room, living room, study and garden.
Hanging on the gate? Ai Siqi Memorial Hall? This plaque, this screen has Mao Zedong's inscription for Aisiqi? Scholars, soldiers, sincere people? Eight big characters. Upstairs is an exhibition of Ai Siqi's life story, downstairs is a display of some manuscripts and articles of Ai Siqi, and there are many famous inscriptions in the lounge.
Heshun people are practicing a life of Confucian merchants farming and herding, which is the spiritual home that modern people yearn for, and perhaps the charm of Heshun lies here.
Li Genyuan, a KMT veteran who followed Sun Yat-sen all his life, wrote? 10 person 1989 doing business in Myanmar, what I am best at is holding calculations and holding funds. The rich know more about etiquette and justice, and Zhou Nan is known as the ancient hometown. Great.
