Jiufeng Mountain stretches for more than 10 kilometers in the southeast of Shouning County. It is called Nanfeng, with an altitude of 1.254 meters. Nanfeng stretches for more than ten miles northeast, forming a small peak, which looks like a golden bell jar, hence the name Jin Zhongshan. The Xixi River in front of the mountain is wide and clear, surrounded by strips from west to east. At the end of the water, it meets Xixi (commonly known as Beixi) from the north to form a pool, forming a "Y" shape. Therefore, there was once a special champion named Miaochan, and later generations named this pool Toad Pool. The water in Toad Pond is deep and wide, with long water and rippling blue waves. Under the sunshine, the water is sparkling, reflecting the colors of the mountains on both sides. When the spring river is warm and cold, the white geese play with waves like snow, and the willows on both sides are lush. Xipu Village, located on both sides of Xixi River, is home to more than 500 Miao families with a population of more than 2,800. In the morning and evening, wisps of smoke from kitchen chimneys went straight into the sky and scattered into the twilight of the mountain xiaolan. On the river bank, "a woman in clothes is like a string"; On the mountain road, "the shepherd boy's short seedling rhyme is full of hills"; The orioles are full of willows and birds are singing in groups. The beautiful world scenery makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Xipu village is a close relative village. Miao You, the ancestor of Miao in this village, lived in Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Because of the war, his great-grandchildren Miao Lu, Miao Tong and Qian Miao moved to the south and scattered in Oumin. The first migration was Miao Lu moved to Changxi (now Xiapu) in Yang Huo, Fujian Province in the first year of Guangming, Tang Xizong (now Xixi Village in Shouning, when Shouning had no county, most of its jurisdiction was under the jurisdiction of Changxi County). Xipumiao is one of the earliest recorded surnames in Shouning. It has been bred for more than forty generations. Miao Lu was named "Xi Ji" because of his ancestral home, to show that he never forgot his original meaning. Because "Ji" is homophonic with "Xi", it was later renamed "Xi". The second migration was after several generations of Miao people, and then moved to Xiadonggao in Xixi Village. Due to the fire, Miao Huan Wen, the seventh ancestor of the Miao family, moved for the third time, that is, moved to the bottom of the house across the river in Xiadonggao, located on the north bank of Xixi, which is the embryonic base of xipu Village today, and the rest of the descendants also moved one after another.

According to the local old man, there is another reason for this migration: one winter, the migrant workers of Miao family were drinking cows early in the morning and went out to slaughter them, so he was crazy, and the herdsmen could not catch up with him, only to see a group of cows walking across the stream to the bottom of the house. When the shepherd arrived, there was a spectacle in front of him: the sky was covered with snow and the fields were covered with snow. Only this place that looks like a bird's nest can't see snow, and the heat is rising and the vegetation is rich. He immediately went back to report, and later, the owner went to have a look happily. This is really a treasure house built in heaven. Soon, my family and I moved here. Feng Menglong also mentioned it in Shouning Zhi Dai Du Tu. At that time, the house was surrounded by dense forests, fertile land, dense population and extraordinary excitement. Sometimes there is a saying that "there are eighteen streets in my family". In Song Shenzong Yuanfeng Xinyou (108 1), the world grandson of Miaochang Road was given a special name (similar to the Jinshi list), so the locals also called it "Jinshiping".

Later, with the population growth, the water for domestic production was inconvenient, and it gradually moved to the river. Because it is located in the west, the water comes from the west, and the name of Xixi is changed to xipu, or Xixi and Xiaxixi. Because there are a series of sunken rhinoceros footprints on the rocks on the banks of the Shibaxia River in the lower reaches of the river, it is said that a god cow passed by, and the locals call it "Rhino Trail". Therefore, Xipu is also called "xipu". The beauty of Xipu lies in "three steps and one willow, ten steps and one bridge". There is a local folk song "Look at the scenery of xipu, three rows and ten bridges", and "Steps" is the piano bridge, which is one of the more distinctive bridges in ancient Jinliang.

Bridge is a major landscape in Xipu, a provincial garden village. From time to time, there are all kinds of bridges that span the banks of the river and the Liu Yin everywhere like rainbows. There are as many as 13 bridges of various types on the river less than 2000 meters long where people live together, with an average of one bridge every 70 to 80 meters. Its density is the highest in eastern Fujian, which is also rare in the whole province. Across Xixi (Beixi) are Fushou Bridge, Neighbourhood Bridge, Moon Bridge and Taiyin Qingong Bridge; Across Xixi are Feiyun Bridge, Guantan Bridge, Yong 'an Bridge and Changle Bridge, namely Shangqin Bridge and Yong 'an Bridge. Across the lower reaches of Hutan are Hongqi Bridge, Xipu Bridge and Shuanglong Bridge. In addition, there are many bridges in Xipu.

These bridges are single-hole and porous; There are ancient, modern and modern; There are stone bridges, stone arch bridges, wooden arch bridges, horseshoe bridges and modern reinforced concrete T-bridges. Various forms and different ages have added unique scenery to Xipu.

Among them, Fushou Bridge, Yong 'an Bridge and Sanqin Bridge have the most distinctive features and profound cultural connotations, which reflect the intelligence and wisdom of the ancient working people in China.

Fushou bridge. Fushou Bridge, also known as Bart Bridge, is located on the covered bridge, with a length of 40.7 meters, a width of 4.9 meters and a single arch span of 32.8 meters. The arch frame of this bridge is made up of dozens of huge beams and huge trees, without a rivet. The bridge deck adopts a double-slope corridor roof, and the roof frame is a four-column and nine-purlin structure with bay 18 and 76 columns. There are two rows of wooden benches on both sides of the corridor for pedestrians to rest. Under the eaves on both sides, there are five rows of long and short ladder-type weatherboards. At the northern end of the bridge, there is a bridge pavilion called Jiguang Pavilion.

Covered bridge is the development and innovation of ancient Hongqiao. That is, adding a gallery on the bridge deck of Hongqiao can not only protect the arch frame, but also extend the service life of the bridge; It can also shelter pedestrians from the wind and rain, killing two birds with one stone. There is a beautiful "Bianshui Hongqiao" in Zhang Zeduan's famous painting "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in the Northern Song Dynasty, which makes many people admire it. Bridge experts believe that the covered bridge is the continuation and development of Hongqiao, which prevailed in the Central Plains in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the bridge construction technology has not been lost. There are less than 200 covered bridges in the world, mainly concentrated in the mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang and eastern and northern Fujian, and Fushou Bridge is one of them.

The date of the construction of Fushou Bridge is ominous, which can be verified by one sentence. See the poem "Ying Ju Zao Hang" dedicated to Miao Chan, the champion of the Southern Song Dynasty: "I love my family and my bed, and my belt is upside down; The bell is far away from the crow, and the light shadow obliquely invades the sword shadow; The road is rugged with bamboo poles, and the plum fragrance is known in the moonlight; Fame and fortune are bitter, and I made a pun, which has broken the frost on the front axle. " At that time, Miao Chan still lived in the old house of Xiadonggao in Xixi Village, but he didn't move to the bottom of the house. Qianqiao (named after Qianqiao, because there is no way to test the name of the bridge) is in front of his house. After Miao Chan came back, the villagers renamed "Qianqiao" as "Denglong Bridge". 1245, Fuan county was established, and Xipu was under the jurisdiction of Fuan county. "Fu 'an County Records" contains: Ten years (1250), Linglin of Fu 'an County ordered Miao Chan, a citizen of Sandu, to test the water by the spring and rebuild the bridge at Miao Chan's drinking place. This shows that "Qianqiao" was renamed as "Denglong Bridge" and then rebuilt (see Lei Yunling's "No.1 Covered Bridge"). After several inundations, the original appearance is no longer visible. The existing bridge was built in the 19th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 14) and repaired in the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930).

Yong 'an Bridge Yong 'an Bridge is a stone slab bridge with a length of 73 meters and a width of 2 meters, which is located not far west of Hutan and spans Xixi. It has 65,438+07 holes and 65,438+06 groups of pier stones, each with three groups of vertical stones, a cross frame stone on the foundation, five straight paving stones in each group, and 80 paving stones on the bridge deck. On each pier, a pier stone stands 2 meters away from the pier, and the locals call it "General Shi". This ingenious design greatly reduces the impact of floating objects on the bridge and plays an important role in protecting the bridge. In order to protect Yong 'an Bridge, the Miao people at that time built a stone dam at a place more than 10 meters below the bridge, and built a row of piers (piano bridge) on the dam to slow down the flow rate and protect the bridge foundation, and the piers were still accessible to people.

Yong 'an Bridge connecting the two banks of Xipu is very scientific in design and construction. The Xipu River has a wide surface and low terrain on both sides. If an arch bridge is built, it will inevitably raise the deck, which is not good for traffic. And the cost and difficulty are great. Therefore, the designer built a stone slab bridge according to local conditions.

Yong 'an Bridge was built in Qing Daoguang for 28 years, with a history of 160 years. At that time, the process of building the bridge was clearly described in the Juxian Pavilion at the northwest bridgehead. The inscription on the bridge and a cultural relic are engraved with the name of the stonemason, the name of the donor and the amount of silver. It is not difficult to see from the donors on the monument that people were generous and enthusiastic about public welfare at that time.

Juxian Pavilion, with stone and wood structure, double eaves and upturned corners, has a unique shape, which is not only an organic part of Yong 'an Bridge, but also an quaint and quiet scenery of xipu Village.

Later generations boarded Yong 'an Bridge, deeply impressed by the generosity of the villagers at that time, and the heroic actions of the citizens left a poem "Yong 'an Nostalgia": "If the heart rises like a tide, people with lofty ideals will dream far away; Drink the night wind dew and spend the autumn moon and spring night; It is famous in Dongxiang (Xixi Township was called Dongxiang before the Qing Dynasty), and 16 docks have become ancient ruins, with smoke from chimneys all the way. "

In August 2006, the super typhoon "Sang Mei" hit Xipu, and the Yong 'an Bridge was seriously damaged, and six holes were washed away in the middle by the flood peak. Local villagers are doing their best to plan emergency repairs.

In addition, the scenery of the piano bridge is unique. Qinqiao is commonly known as Qibu Bridge and Horseshoe Bridge. There are three villages in xipu, which are located in front of Taiyin Palace, under Yong 'an Bridge and at the head of xipu Village. Villagers choose the shallow part of the stream. Every small step, a cubic stone is called an anchor. The anchor is empty so that the water can flow smoothly. The anchorage is10-20cm higher than the annual water level, so pedestrians don't have to wade across the river. The starting price in xipu is the best in Shouning. According to Shouning County Records, it was revised in 1992, "There are seven departments in the county 12 ... xipu Village has the most, with three in one village and 255 teeth". The most distinctive piano bridge in xipu Village is called Taiyin Qin Gong Bridge, which is located in front of Taiyin Palace. There are 87 teeth in this row, among which every six teeth, pedestrians meet, one side gives way, and the other side can go straight. Designers are really ingenious. The enduring cultural atmosphere of xipu Village laid the foundation for the ancient cultural scenery, and left many places of interest and classic houses. From Song Dynasty to modern times, there are still buildings of past dynasties, which have sprung up one after another, making people linger.

A standard building-Champion Square. After winning the first prize in Miao Zen, Zhuangyuan Square was built outside the official residence of Changxi County (now Xiapu). In the following 800 years, many Shouning county magistrates and Miao descendants built Zhuangyuanfang or Zhuangyuan Bridge for Miao Zen in Shouning County, Xixi and Xipu respectively. Among them, in the fifth year of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty (1526), Lingyin Zhou of Shouning County built Zhuangyuan Square in the south of Zhijie (now Jiefang Street) in the county seat and wrote Zhuangyuan Square. At the same time, he renamed the stream passing through the county town as Xuxi. In the twenty-first year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1542), Shouning County ordered Xiong Zhi to build the Champion Bridge at the former site of Aihui Bridge (now Zilai Bridge) in front of the county government, and wrote two poems, Preface to the Champion Bridge and Champion Bridge. Unfortunately, the former Zhuangyuanfang (Bridge) has been abandoned. However, in the mid-1990s, with the approval of Shouning County People's Government, it was agreed to rebuild Zhuangyuanfang in the former site of Zhuangyuanfang in Xipuhe County. Subsequently, Miao people from all over Fujian and Zhejiang donated money spontaneously to rebuild the grand champion square at the side of the original Shoutai Highway at the south foot of Jinzhongshan Mountain in Xipu Village. The whole building is rectangular, surrounded by a wall more than 2 meters high, with 8 steps on the front. Climbing up the stairs, a magnificent and quaint archway looms large, with the word "No.1 scholar" engraved in the middle, and the square top pattern embossed, vivid and colorful. Through this main building, there is a hexagonal pavilion with glazed tile roof, named "Huanggu Pavilion", in which the algae wells are beautifully painted. Entering the gate of the memorial hall, a congratulatory plaque on one wall is full of brightness, and the words and patterns on each plaque are masterpieces of calligraphy and sculpture. Throughout the garden, there are strange flowers and grasses dotted with poets and poets, and there are many poems. Since Zhuangyuan Square was built in the autumn of 1997, there have been an endless stream of tourists.

Ritual architecture-ancestral hall. There are four ancient ancestral temples in Xipu Village: Nanyang Temple, Jingshan Temple, Fengyang Temple and Sijiao Temple. The ancestral temple is in the core position in Xipu, which is not only a place for ancestor worship, but also a place for people to discuss. It is not only a bond of blood relationship, but also a memorial hall for outstanding people in the clan.

Nanyang temple. Along the stream near the south bank of Yong 'an Bridge, there is a special building, which is the "Nanyang Temple" of the Miao people in Xipu Village, also called "One Temple". Among the numerous ritual buildings in Xipu, it is the most distinctive. This ancestral hall was built in the 57th year of Qing Qianlong (1792). According to local historical records, ancestral temples were built many times in different ages and places before, but they were abandoned due to floods. This ancestral hall is large in scale, reasonable in layout, gorgeous in shape, rigorous in structure and antique. Surrounded by clear water in front of the door, leaning against Jin Zhongshan. The arches in Liang Fang are carefully carved, with strong and solemn colors. On the front of the roof, there are four colorful reliefs with flowers as the theme. After two centuries of wind and rain, the color is still very bright. On the concave walls on both sides, there is a pair of couplets inscribed by Dong, the magistrate of Shouning County during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty: "Australia is king and xipu is history." Stepping into the gate, the interior is integrated by the stage and the front and rear halls. The most eye-catching thing is the ancient stage. Above the octagonal algae well, there are many dramatic plots of the year, and the characters are lifelike. It is still discernible, and there are still some reliefs on the roof. On the whole, it still retains the gorgeous style of the past.

In the front hall (auditorium) opposite the stage, a delicate giant plaque is hung high, on which the word "No.1 scholar" is engraved in gold, and the word "purport" is engraved in the middle and above, and the plaque is decorated with gold lacquer lace. This number one plaque shows the glory of the Miao people.

Jingshan Temple. It was built in the tenth year of Jiading in Song Dynasty (12 17), and it is the oldest. This ancestral hall is three rooms wide. It entered the courtyard three times. Before liberation, the Qiandian (Enjoy Hall) was dilapidated, and the ground was covered with thorns, making it difficult for people to get involved. There is a pond four meters square in the middle. Above the seven stone steps, there is a sleeping hall. Although there are not many furnishings, the porch in front of the sleeping hall is beautifully carved and rich in themes. In particular, the "Carp yue longmen" pattern symbolizing graduation and graduation on the moon beam is vivid. It euphemistically expresses Xipu's good wishes for talents and villagers to make progress. This building is both a shrine and a temple. In 1950s and 1970s, it was renovated twice and transformed into a temple, which was called Jingshan Temple.

Fengyang temple. Also known as the "Second Temple", it faces Nanyang Temple across the river. It was founded in the thirty-third year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1907). A gatehouse was built on the front, with a wooden plaque of "Miao Ancestral Hall" hanging on it, and there was a big stage in the door. Compared with "A Ancestral Hall", there are fewer algae wells at the top, but in the early 1950s, an additional auxiliary stage was added on the right side, which was specially designed for the accompaniment of the band during the performance.

Four major religious temples. The predecessor of Sijue Temple was a library built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. It was built by Miao Shengzhi and named "Yue Yuxuan", which inspired the children. In the sixth year of Tongzhi reign in Qing Dynasty (1867), Miao Shengzhi's great-grandson built nave and two temples in the original site of Yue Yuxuan, trying to build "four major religious temples", but the fire spread to his neighbors, and most of the temples were burned by a torch. 19 12, and its descendants raised funds to make it.

Worship buildings-Taiyin Palace and Emperor Palace. Taiyin Palace is located at the upper right of the Buddhist Temple, on the bank of Xixi (Beixi). It was built in Dade period of Yuan Dynasty (1297- 1307) and rebuilt in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty (1870). It can be called the "originator" of Xipu ancient buildings. It is built on a mountain and faces two waters. On the walls on both sides of the gate, the calligraphy of "Two rivers flow freely outside the pavilion, and four people protect the front of the temple with fireworks" is a pair of couplets with strict meter and neat antithesis, which not only concisely explains the geographical environment where Taiyin Palace is located, but also expresses the good wishes of all walks of life in xipu who believe in Buddhism and pray for blessings. There are three shrines in the Hall of Ursa Major, all of which are dedicated to female bodhisattvas. In the middle is the statue of Chen Jinggu. The shrine on the left is dedicated to Mazu, and the shrine on the right is dedicated to Guanyin in the South China Sea, with a pair of golden couple on the left and right. What is most worth mentioning is that the algae wells and murals on both sides of the Hall of Great Heroes have remained the same color after 700 years of spring and autumn. Above the main hall is an oval octagonal algae well painted with fairy tales such as The Journey to the West's "List of Gods". The algae well on the left is painted with a pair of golden pheasants, and the algae well on the right is painted with a beautiful peacock perched on a laurel tree. These murals are not only rich in content, but also exquisite and creative.

Since the establishment of Taiyin Palace, every year on the eve of Lantern Festival, good people in the village will decorate Taiyin Palace with lanterns and colorful decorations. Many families donate voluntarily. The first thing is to collect and prepare incense sacrifices, and invite Taoist priests to set up Dojo for a few days to "welcome the immortals" and pray for good luck and peace in the village. During this period, gongs and drums were loud, firecrackers were ringing, and devout people went to the palace to burn incense and pray.

The Grand Palace on the xipu River lives next to Taiyin Palace. It was built in 37 years of the Republic of China (1948), and the villagers are vigorously expanding and renovating it. Soon it will show its luxurious style.

Classical dwellings-ancient dwellings. There are hundreds of ancient houses in Xipu. Due to the differences in social status, economic strength and construction years, the ancient folk houses in xipu Village are naturally different in quality, scale and style. Most of the ancient houses in xipu Village are large and small. The three-story courtyard has three entrances and two floors, and their gatehouse is full of changes. There are Song-style, double-eaved and hilltop-resting styles and monolithic doorframes. The materials used are also different, some are all wood structures, some are all stone, some are stone-wood frames, and some are masonry structures. Most of the ancient houses in xipu have two gatehouses, the outer gate faces the upstream water. Some outer doorframes are engraved with couplets, the lintels are decorated with symbolic reliefs, such as "Fish" (more than one year) and "Deer" (Fulu), and the doors are engraved with "Shen Tu is depressed and tired" to ward off evil spirits. If the inner door directly faces the hall, there is often a tunnel paved with stones connected with it, forming an axial symmetry. Stepping into the inner gate building, you can see the wings of the patio. In front of the wall of the hall, there are often several tables with different decorations, and there is a "stigma mirror" at the upper end of the post in the Ming Dynasty. The shape of this column is like a disc, and the eight diagrams are carved on the vase, which is different from family to family. Xipu antique door leaves are beautifully carved with rich themes; The arches in Liang Fang are beautifully carved. Xipu Creek is rich in stones, so the rammed earth wall abutment of every ancient residence is built with rough stones. Courtyards and roads are paved with pebbles of various sizes, many of which are classic and full of characteristics.

Miao Bu Fu CuO is a well-preserved classic residence in Xipu Village. It was built by Miao in Xianfeng period.

Gucuo is located on the left side of Xizaibian Road. The front courtyard wall is parallel to the road, and a rammed earth wall is built on the wall base made of coarse stone. A flat square stone was stacked at one end of the wall base facing the gate, and the edge gradually closed upward, forming a quite soft line, and the inside and outside of the high firewall were whitewashed.

The hall floor of this ancient five-six-style house is paved with concrete. The upper longitudinal beam is finely carved. There are wooden doors on the left and right sides of the back of the central beam shadow wall, and the hollowed-out pattern on the door makes the front and rear houses seem to be separated, which increases the level and is full of changes. There is also a patio in the backyard and a flower bed at the root of the front wall. All kinds of bonsai are neatly placed on the long steps of three stones. Throughout the year, exotic flowers and grasses compete for each other. This makes the backyard environment very beautiful and charming, especially the century-old Cycas, which has been fragrant for generations. It witnessed the vicissitudes of this ancient house and the rise and fall of honor and disgrace.

The sculpture of this ancient house is mainly about plants and animals. Pomegranate, Flat Peach and Orange are carved on the door beside the front porch of the hall. These sculptures all take a beautiful meaning, some take its homonym, such as: orange-Geely, and some take its meaning, such as: multi-seed pomegranate. But all flowers have fruits, which means beauty. In the whole house, the most striking thing is bat sculpture. "Bat" and "Fu" are homophonic, symbolizing happiness. Bat sculptures are decorated everywhere from the front yard to the backyard, from the stigma to the beams, and on the door and window grilles.

An ancient workshop-oil mill. There is a lot of cultivated land in Xipu. Since ancient times, the ancestors of Xipu have been industrious and capable, vigorously cultivated land in the mountains around the village and planted camellia oleifera crops everywhere. In addition, there are many streams in the village, which provide power conditions for the waterwheel, so the Camellia oleifera workshop came into being.

There is an ancient oil mill on the upper left of the Zen altar. A huge ancient waterwheel is facing the gate of the oil mill. In the middle of the oil mill, there is a big millstone for crushing brown hazelnuts. After that, put it on a pot stove built against the wall for cooking, and the hot air from the wooden steamer exudes the attractive fragrance of hazelnuts. The sound of the waterwheel running around the clock and the rhythmic tapping of the mallet when pressing oil interweave into happy country songs. Youfang was built in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty with a history of nearly 200 years. Villagers here collect hazelnuts from the mountains around beginning of winter every year, peel them and dry them, and then process them into edible oil or lighting oil. Oil production starts every year 1 1 month, and will continue until next March. You can squeeze up to three or four hundred tons of oil a year. In the 1950s and 1960s, the second floor of this oil mill was a tea workshop in the village. There are four traditional wooden tea rolling machines arranged in turn. The tea knead machine is driven by a wooden gear on that water shaft. Every year in the spring tea mining season, people are very busy squeezing oil downstairs and making tea upstairs. The villagers' faces were filled with joy that could not be concealed during the harvest. Oil exploitation continues every year, but the traditional workshops in the past have been gloriously laid off.

Pavilion on the ancient road-Shiguling Pavilion. There is a stone path in the south of Xipu Village called Shiguling, which used to be the main passage from Shouning to Xipu Dataishun. There is a pavilion at the top of the ridge, named Shiguling Pavilion because of the road. This ancient pavilion was built by Xipu villagers in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty (1796— 1820) and rebuilt in Wugeng period of the Republic of China (1930). This is a large-scale tea pavilion with five bays on the front, five wooden benches on the side of the rammed earth wall and eleven beams on the pavilion, including the time of building the pavilion, the first thing and the donated silver. Since the pavilion was built, the local people have set aside three or four acres of land next to the pavilion for people living in the pavilion to cultivate. Groups of passers-by and villagers who work in this area often go to the gazebo to rest or shelter from the rain. Especially in the hot summer, they sit on polished wooden benches, feel the cool wind passing through the pavilion, smoke cigarettes, drink fragrant tea and chat with each other, which is very pleasant.

How much wind and rain, how much spring and autumn.

The villagers in Xipu live a farming life with hard-working hands. After the founding of New China, especially after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in the spring breeze, great changes have taken place in Xipu Village. Nowadays, with the continuous development of local economy, the majority of villagers take agriculture as the leading factor, and expand tea gardens and start businesses according to local conditions. There are three tea factories, a hydropower station with an installed capacity of 1 000 kw, a large bamboo crafts factory, a gas station, and 17 machine brick factories. In addition, there are toy factories and stone plate processing factories. In particular, Xipu Tea Factory, established in 1996, has formed a large-scale production line of primary, refined and special tea-making processes. More than ten series products of "Miyayama Fairy Bud" produced by this factory are exported to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and other provinces and cities. In May, 20001year, it won the gold medal of "China Shaanxi First Tea Expo"; In June of the same year, it was awarded the "Recommended Famous Tea Award" by China Tea Society and China Star Tea Wang Sai Organizing Committee; In June 2004, it was awarded the Silver Award by China Tea Circulation Association ... Since then, the company's "Miyayama Xianlei" products have built well-known brands in domestic and foreign markets and been promoted.

A long history, numerous historical sites, unique scenery, simple folk customs, wise ancestors, smoky past and soaring economy are intertwined into a colorful picture of Xipu. With the progress of the times, Xipu, a historic village in Zhao and Song Dynasties, will glow with more charming brilliance!
