Brief introduction of Futian village
Futian Village is located in the east of the central area, mainly distributed in the south of Shennan Avenue, north of Binhe Avenue, east of Huanggang Road and west of Huaqiang Road. Covering an area of 26.02 hectares, the villagers' surname is Huang, and a few are Liang (Lin's surname is chaozhou people, a non-indigenous resident, who was moved to Shenzhen Village by the government in the early stage of Chaozhou land reform). The total population is more than 60,000 people, including 24 villagers13 and more than 60,000 migrants. As Futian Village is only separated from Hong Kong's Macaulong by a river, some villagers in Futian have the traditional habit of crossing the river to go to Hong Kong to farm, and have left Huang Ancestral Hall in Hong Kong. In the later period of reform, the government also issued a certificate called "Cross-border Farming Certificate" to match the traditional habits of villagers crossing the border (the holder can only go to Sheung Shui in Hong Kong, and it is illegal to go beyond the permitted scope of activities, so he can only cross the border by manpower boat at the designated place), which is convenient for villagers to cross the border for farming. During the reign of Guang Chong and Shao Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 190), Huang Yousun, the fourth son of the ancestor Huang Jintang, moved to the southern edge of Songzi to settle down, and led his children and grandchildren to reclaim the land and named it Futian Village, which means that Futian people are blessed. It is said that Futian people have always been called field-dividing guys because they have a field separated from other villages. ) consists of six natural villages: Dongtou, Xitou, Niuxiang, Ancestral Temple and Xincun, and now consists of eight areas: Beidi, Niuxiang Square, Damenfang, Dongtoufang (now converted into a building), Xitoufang, Gangbian Square, Ancestral Temple Square and Fuxin Square (the former residence of villagers named Liang).
