Zeng Cuo An Village has always existed as a rural area in history. People there make a living by fishing and renting houses. The villagers in Zeng Cuo An Village "men fish and women plow, men go out to fish, and women stay at home to plow and take care of their children.
the formation of a fishing village is probably due to its proximity to mountains and seas. Backed by high mountains and facing the sea, the life in the fishing village was free and comfortable at first. In the early Ming Dynasty, after Xiamen was built, Zeng Cuo An Village, located in the south of Xiamen Port, also became a military hub. In the Qing dynasty, a navy division was stationed here, and after the Revolution of 1911, the Kuomintang's "Naval Aviation Department" and the airport were also here. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the location function of Zeng Cuo An Village military fortress gradually lost.
In the early 1991s, Zeng Cuo An Village people liked to talk about the confrontation between War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the two sides of the strait. After the Japanese came ashore from Wutong, they brutally slaughtered Zeng Cuo An Village Village, which is still an indelible painful memory in the hearts of the old people. However, the story of the cross-strait confrontation period seems somewhat meaningless: farmers are working at the seaside, and a bomb suddenly flies over and stops at their feet. Fortunately, they escaped, but if they are unlucky, they will "die heroically". Although bizarre, it is true from the mouth of Zeng Cuo An Village people.
Zeng Cuo An Village's anecdotes are by no means heavy. In 1929, Zeng Cuo An Village Airport greeted the landing of Chen Wenlin, the first pilot in China who flew across Eurasia by himself. Chen Wenlin's "Xiamen" plane took off from London, passing through more than a dozen countries in Europe and Asia, with a journey of more than 5,111 kilometers, and arrived in Xiamen on May 2. In those days, this incident became a hot topic in the media at home and abroad, not to mention the villagers in Zeng Cuo An Village who witnessed this historical moment with their own eyes.
Sighing that the years are like songs and the past is like smoke, everything here is undergoing profound changes. Today, Zeng Cuo An Village is included in the scope of urban renewal, and it is planned to become a cultural, educational, convalescent, tourist and residential area on the southeast coast of Xiamen, with the construction of resettlement houses, district municipal roads, public facilities and centralized greening landscape. Zeng Cuo An Village's natural village years can only be remembered by people. Walking in Zeng Cuo An Village, you can see traces left by overseas Chinese. Architecture is the most intuitive display. At that time, overseas Chinese built a large number of red brick ancient buildings and Nanyang-style "Fanzi Building", which is still reserved. The larger residential complex even integrates two architectural styles: the first two "falling" roofs of ancient buildings are saddle ridges or dovetail ridges, while the last "falling" is a "Fanzi Building" with Nanyang flavor. Nowadays, these overseas Chinese houses are lived and managed by their descendants or relatives. Just like the old buildings in Gulangyu, they are declining step by step.
In addition to the buildings, the building components scattered along the roadside remind you of the impact of the overseas Chinese economy on this natural village, such as the broken dragon pillars, the iron flowers from Luzon, and the tiles produced in Taiwan Province during the Japanese occupation.
The most famous overseas Chinese in the village is Mr. Zeng Guoban. Mr. Zeng Guoban is well-known, that is, he invested and built Xiamen Siming Cinema with his younger brother Zeng Guocong in 1927. However, as a far-sighted investor, his contribution to Xiamen is not limited to this.
As early as the 1921s, Zeng Guoban invested in the then Island Road (a rural road from Zeng Cuo An Village to Zhenbeiguan, which has changed due to urban construction), and in the 1931s and 1941s, he jointly invested in the maritime transportation from Xiamen to Tongan. After the reform and opening up, this overseas Chinese is an old man. Although most of his industries in Zeng Cuo An Village have already been destroyed by the Japanese aggressors, he once again expressed his intention to entrust his descendants to invest in his hometown in the Philippines. Unfortunately, things didn't work out, and he died soon, and all sole proprietorships, joint ventures and cooperation vanished.
A stone tablet on the roadside in the village still records his deeds.
The remains of the war also fully show the blood relationship between overseas Chinese and Zeng Cuo An Village. The old man in the village said that all the better houses in the village were burned by Japanese devils during the Anti-Japanese War, and Xiaoyanglou was the first to bear the brunt. Old people speculated that the Japanese set fire to the "Fanzi Building" to vent their anger on overseas Chinese in southern Fujian.
Later, due to various reasons, a special class-overseas Chinese in southern Fujian gradually faded out of this natural village. According to incomplete statistics, there are 325 homestays in Li * * *, an alley in the 18th Lane of Fifth Street in Zeng Cuo An Village. It's like a maze here. When new visitors come here, they are often confused. No matter how the phone gives directions, road idiots still can't find the north and ask for directions clearly. Finally, the owner and the guys in the shop had to go out to meet them. A large part of the enthusiasm of the Zeng Cuo An Village innkeeper may be reflected here. When he goes out to greet the guests from a long distance, the feeling of being at home makes the tourists feel a snot and tears.
To trace the origin of Zeng Cuo An Village Inn, we have to read the history of overseas Chinese in Zeng Cuo An Village again. Walking in Zeng Cuo An Village, you will see many red brick ancient buildings and Nanyang-style Fanzi buildings that are still well preserved. Residential buildings of a certain scale tend to integrate two architectural styles: the first two roofs of ancient buildings are saddle ridges or dovetail ridges, and the last one is Fanzi Building with Nanyang flavor.
nowadays, most of these overseas Chinese houses are used for business except a small part of them are occupied by descendants or relatives of overseas Chinese. The overseas Chinese culture once carried is being reborn in the form of family inn, taking the same path as the old buildings in Gulangyu. Therefore, in my opinion, these inns have not declined as some experts said. A special class-overseas Chinese in southern Fujian has gradually faded out of this natural village, and a new literary and artistic group and tourist group are very active in this village.
According to Zeng Cuo An Village, you can always meet inns with different styles along the street and at the corner, with five streets and eighteen lanes and various decorations: many new buildings are in blue tones, and Fanzi Building is generally in orange tones or keeps quaint colors, and the exterior walls of the ancient buildings in southern Fujian are all red; Some graffiti on a large area, and some imitate European towns and hang potted flowers on the walls. This kind of tone is really like that, as if the author is really walking in a small town in Amsterdam; Everywhere I saw it, I saw that most of the inns had courtyards, some walked in Hawaiian style, rocking chairs hung under vines, surfing skateboards and swimming rings, and wooden chairs scattered under sun umbrellas. Some people also make artificial beaches in the courtyard, paving a cobblestone walking path, which is full of seaside fun; Others fit in with the positioning of the fishing village. Pulling a broken boat in the courtyard means that we are descendants of fishermen. This is the fishing village culture. However, if the boss can really take the tenants out to sea to fish, I will admire your business philosophy for its depth and inheritance.
The moon and the stars are hanging in Zeng Cuo An Village, and the lights make the whole village black and white, which makes it more enchanting and charming.

Self-help tour, slow walking trail, and staying in the inn are wonderful.

It has been 11 years since it was opened. The years make people old, but his yearning for a free life makes him unhappy in Zeng Cuo An Village.

Three are short of one. It used to be a literary inn, but now it is a leisure drink hut. It's not a mahjong room. This location is right in the heart of Zeng Cuo An Village.
