Storybook I bring you a story of Hongdong County relocating its people:
People in this area say, "We are the people of Wild Wing Wo, Hongdong County, Shanxi." This is not true. However, to say wild wings nest, have to first say big locust tree. In Hongdong City, two miles north of Jia Village, west of the village, there is a Guangji Temple, the temple is lofty, many monks, visitors to and from. In the Guangji Temple courtyard there is a tree body a number of circumference, shade several acres of Chinese acacia. Ancient trees in the sky, the tree stork nest row by row, very nice.
Hongdong County is located in the main road of transportation, the Ming Dynasty *** want to move people, although not exclusively relocated Hongdong people, but Hongdong as the focus of relocation. They set up a bureau under the Guangji Temple and Dahuai Tree, handle the appropriate matters. At this time, the Ming Dynasty *** widely posted notices to deceive the people, said: "do not want to migrate to the locust tree ***. Must be within three days to arrive, willing to move at home to wait." People heard the news have rushed to the big locust tree, not a few days, the big locust tree around the concentration of more than 100,000 people. On this day, a large group of soldiers surrounded the people under the tree, an official loudly announced: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ordered, all come under the tree, all move away." This order was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, which stunned the people. But they soon realized that they had been deceived. People have cried, there are screaming, there are cursing, there are calling children, there are crying parents, but it is too late, how to make a fuss will not help.
Officials forced people to register, issued vouchers, each registered one, let the people moved to take off their shoes, in the small toe of each foot cut a knife as a mark, in order to prevent people from escaping. So the descendants of the migrant people are characterized by the two flaps of the small foot nails.
After the officials and soldiers forced the people to register, in order to prevent escape, they tied them up backwards and escorted the migrants on the road. People look at the big locust tree, look at the big locust tree on the old stork nest, reluctant to part. People walk away, but also shed tears looking at the old stork nest. Therefore, over time, people will be the old stork nest as a symbol of their hometown.
The migrants' hands were tied for a long time, and their arms gradually became numb, and soon, they got used to it. Later, most of the migrants preferred to walk with their hands on their backs, so the people who came after the migrants also followed this habit.
In the process of escorting, due to the long distance, on the way, it is inevitable that some people want to urinate, and had to report to the officers and soldiers: "Master, please untie your hands, I want to urinate." More often than not, this request is also brief, as long as the voice: "Master, I relieve myself", we all understand is to urinate. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots.
When the migrants arrived at their new residence, they were left with a wilderness, so they had to use their own hard-working hands to build houses and cultivate the land. No matter what they do, they are reminded of their hometown's landscape, and in order to send their love to their hometown, most of them planted acacia trees in front of their gates to express their love and nostalgia for their hometowns.
