In recent years, under the correct leadership of the town party committee and government, Zhu Ningxi, secretary of the village branch and director of the village, unites and leads all the village cadres and masses, based on the reality of the village, takes the road of development and does things that benefit the people. The whole village has formed a new pattern of all-round development of industries such as construction, transportation, demolition and commerce. In 2005, the total social income of the whole village exceeded10 million yuan, and the per capita income of villagers reached 44 10 yuan. It has successively won many honorary titles such as "Civilized Village" and "Five Good Party Branches" in Jining City and Qufu New District. Zhang Zao village used to be a big village with agricultural production as the main factor. How to break the traditional concept, speed up economic development and make the people rich as soon as possible has become the primary task of the village party branch. To this end, the village gives full play to the advantages of nearby urban mines, and develops construction teams, demolition teams and transportation teams with migrant workers in the city as a breakthrough. 90% of the men and women in the village are young and strong, and the construction sites are all over Qufu, Yanzhou, Zoucheng, Jining and Yankuang Group mining areas, and the annual income of migrant workers is more than 10,000 yuan. There are more than 200 cars, five-wheelers, tricycles, tractors and other vehicles in the village, which has formed a pattern of integration of construction, demolition and transportation and achieved good economic and social benefits. The masses said happily that "it was the village branch committee that found a good way for us to get rich by working".
With the development of economy and the improvement of people's income, the village has developed a commercial street, set up a farmer's market in Zhang Zao, and developed a facade house 10000 square meters, with catering, local products, services, daily necessities, processing and other industries available, which further invigorated the economy and attracted a large number of foreign merchants. Yanzhou Wood Processing Factory came to this village to set up Zhang Zao Wood Processing Branch, and its products sell well all over the country. Driven by this factory, the village has developed 12 woodworking, repair and processing enterprises. Gou Yanming used his old school as a factory building and started a breeding factory, which achieved considerable business benefits. Under his leadership, the village has developed three aquaculture plants. The village reclaimed the abandoned old kiln factory, developed 8 hectares of mulberry fields and orchards, signed a long-term contract with Qufu Silk Company, and established a good seed supply and marketing cooperative relationship.
The original collective agricultural machinery was once aging, which affected agricultural production. The village committee of the village branch is eager to solve this problem. In order to effectively solve this problem, Zhu Ningxi, secretary of the village branch, personally invested in the purchase and maintenance of agricultural machinery for the masses and built the agricultural machinery compound. At present, the village has large and medium-sized tractors 15, harvesters, rotary cultivators, deep ploughs and other agricultural machinery. Collective unified tillage, planting, harrowing, sowing, seed supply, straw returning and irrigation have been realized. The harvesting and sowing of more than 200 hectares of land in this village can be completed in just one week, which has solved the worries of the masses. The crowd said happily, "In busy farming season, men go out to earn money, and women cooperate at home to finish harvesting crops." Today's Lingcheng, formerly known as "Qi Lin", is a county town. Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties have always been Pingyuan County or Ande County. In the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Dezhou moved to Decheng, but the original Dezhou was reduced to Lingxian, and the title of Lingzhen continued to this day. The "River Flows to the East of Ande County" recorded in Shui Jing Zhu refers to the geographical position at that time. In the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, "Dongqi did not welcome guests, and Dawei built a city to welcome it, hence the name of the old city." This passage in Shuijing Annotation explains the origin of Qilincheng, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Xi County. During the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Ande County and Xi County merged and were called Ande County, which was under the jurisdiction of today's Lingcheng. Lingxian county has a long history and many cultural relics.
Tang City Wall is the ancient city wall of Tang Pingyuan County. Yan Zhenqing was appointed as the prefect of Pingyuan County (governing Lingxian County today). In order to prevent An Lushan from rebelling, the civil city was rammed in the 12th year of Tang Tianbao (753). It is about 20 miles high and 20 feet wide. There are towers and female walls on the city, and there are ceramic stumbling blocks at the gate. The ancient city wall is several hundred meters in the northwest corner and southwest corner.
The full name of Yan Zibei is "Dr. Han Taizhong, the doctor of the East, painting a tablet of praise". The inscription was written by Xiahou Zhan in the Jin Dynasty and Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty. The inscription on the inscription was written by Yan Zhenqing, including regular script, Yang forehead seal script and Yin forehead official script. One-sided tablet is the epitome of Yan Zhenqing's three calligraphy styles. When Yan Zhenqing was a magistrate in the plain, this monument was "pretending to write an article and prepare for war" in order to confuse the messenger of Anshi Rebellion. The art of calligraphy, as Su Dongpo said, "Lu wrote a tablet, praised the painting as Qing Xiong, and the words were harmonious without losing Qingyuan." The monument is now located in Lingxian Wenbo Garden, which is a national first-class cultural relic.
Lingxingmen is the gate of the ancient Confucian temple. It was built in the 9th year of Jiaqing in Ming Dynasty (1530). East-west length 14m, north-south width 3m and height 6m. It has a wooden structure with four pillars and three rooms. Each column has two pairs of stone lion pillars, cornices and arches, and the ridges are decorated with patterns. The whole building is well preserved and has high ornamental research value.
There are also famous historical sites near Lingcheng, such as the Tomb of Ping Yuanjun in the Warring States Period, the Tomb of Lian Po Crown, Yinma Well and Mima Farm.
