Looking at Gengdu in the “Prime Minister’s Village”
To the east of the river, Mopan Ridge is dotted with dots, and the Sushui River meanders by.
111 BCIn 1999, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che visited the south and was delighted to hear about the great victory in the war. He named it “Wenxi”. This is Wenxi County in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province.
25 kilometers north of the county, there is a village named Pei Bai. The village is not big, but it is very legendary. There have been 59 prime ministers and 59 generals here. In the past two thousand years, “heroes and handsome men, famous ministers and wise ministers, crowded shoulder to shoulder, shone with history, lush as forests, and there was no shortage of people in the world.” Peipai Village is therefore known as the “Chinese Prime Minister’s Village”.
Among the wonders and wonders of the ages, does Pei Bai’s lingering fragrance still exist?
When you walk into the village, the roads are clean and tidy, and the houses are lined up in rows, which seems to be nothing special. Continuing walking inside, a piece of cheerful music came, attracting the reporter’s attention.
“Be filial to your parents, be friendly to your brothers, harmonize your clans, and be kind to your neighbors…” In the bright sunshine, accompanied by rhythmic rhythm, hundreds of children danced special radio gymnastics.
The sound of music and the laughter of children intertwined, and the quiet village came alive.
“This is radio gymnastics adapted from PeiEscort’s family motto.” Dong Qifeng, principal of Pei Bai Primary School, said. The reporter found that this primary school can be called the most “luxurious” building in the village: two teaching buildings with cornices, a green playground, a plastic track, and teachingManila escortThe room is fully equipped with multimedia equipment.
“The permanent population in the village is only more than 700, but there are nearly 600 students in the primary school.” Dong Qifeng said with some pride that the school has absorbed almost all primary school students in the town.
A parent from a neighboring village said frankly that the school in their village had been closed down a few years ago. “We feel relieved to have our children come to Peibai Primary School to study. It is close to home, has a good academic style, and the teachers are serious and responsible.” of”. Some parents said, “When I asked my children where they went to school, they answered Pei Bai Elementary School. They were very proud.”
In recent years, “Zaixiang Village” Primary School has been developing in a contrarian manner. In 2012, with the joint efforts of the government and villagers, a spacious two-story school building and playground were built; as the number of students increased year by year, the local government department built another school building in 2018.
On the campus today, there is still a stone monument to the memory of more than 200 villagers who “crowdfunded” nearly 140,000 yuan to help build the new campus. Not only that, Liyuan Town Junior High School, where Pei BaiManila escort Village is located, is also in Pei Bai Village.
Over thousands of years, the appearance of the village has changed, but the sound of reading aloud remains the sameLoud and melodious.
“We are trying to find the secret of the family’s prosperity so that it can be passed down on campus, in the countryside, and among neighbors.” The 78th descendant of the Pei family in Hedong and vice president of the Pei family research association in Wenxi County Chief Pei Jianmin said.
The Pei family has always paid attention to the education of family rules for the clan members. Today, the twelve Pei family mottos such as respecting ancestors, being filial to parents, uniting the clan, and studying to be virtuous are not only the rules of conduct for the descendants of the Pei family, but have also been integrated into the daily life of the children of Pei Bai Primary School.
In addition to the adapted version of Pei’s family training radio gymnastics, a series of local teaching materials such as “Pei’s Poems and Essays” and “Approaching Pei” compiled under the auspices of the County Education and Science Bureau have also become the school’s special courses.
The prime ministers Pei Ji and Pei Du of the Tang Dynasty, the “Father of Chinese Maps” Pei Xiu, the historian Pei Songzhi, Pei’s family training and family precepts… The children here are familiar with the historical stories and celebrities of the “Prime Minister’s Village” Anecdotes, poems and songs are like telling family stories.
By studying and passing down family traditions, you not only learn how to behave, but also learn to make a living and build a career.
Behind the school building, a small vegetable garden has become a “practice base” for the children. Spring sowing, summer growth, and autumn harvest, the children never tire of experiencing farming. “I just picked eggplants a few weeks ago. It is a fruit that everyone has cultivated and grown together. I even wrote it in my diary.” Zhao Jierui, from Class 1, Grade 6, was still restrained when talking about itSugar daddycan’t stop being happy.
Context is blood. Pei Jianmin told reporters that since the resumption of the college entrance examination, Peibai Village has produced more than 190 college students. No child in junior high school or below drops out of school because their parents think it is a shame.
In front of Pei Bai Primary School, there is a couplet hanging like this: Respect the sages and determination, make the family prosperous, and the country prosper; let good dreams come trueSugar daddyTrue, will be in the meantime, in the meantime.
Couplet culture Pinay escort culture and Zhongtang culture can be seen everywhere in Pei Bai Village. There are self-encouragements such as “diligence passed down from Chinese sons and daughters to hard work, poems and books to the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, etiquette and righteousness”, and praises such as “harmony among virtuous people, a model of public morality”.
Pei Baotian is the 80th descendant of the Pei family in Hedong. He has been a scholarly family for generations and has been kind to others. The couple retired from a township middle school. Their main “task” now is to take care of their parents who are over eighty years old. .
“The fact that there have been so many prime ministers, generals, and ministers in history must have roots. I think this ‘root’ is good family tradition and tutoring.” Pei Baotian said.
In Peibai Village, thousands of people come here every year to search for family trees, see the context, and read history. In recent years, with the renovation of Pei Jin Gong Temple, the Pei family tradition and tutoring in China haveThe museum and Prime Minister’s Square were completed, and the Chinese Prime Minister’s Village Scenic Area was listed as a national 3A-level scenic spot in 2023, with more than 150,000 visitors throughout the year.
Peibai Village is a traditional agricultural village that mainly grows wheat and Chinese medicinal materials. During slack periods, villagers go to work in nearby industrial parks. “Nowadays, a scenic spot has been built in the village, which can not only spread the Pei family tradition and culture far and wide, but also provide villagers with a way to increase their income.” Niu Yongjie, the first secretary of Peibai Village, is recently leading village cadres to inspect rural cultural tourism projects in other places, and plans to By developing courtyard economy, short-term stay in village houses, and agricultural activity experience projects, we hope to leverage the popularity of the scenic spot to extend the industry chain integrating agriculture, culture, and tourism.
Looking from the highest point, Peibai Village stands quietly on the bank of Sushui River, surrounded by nine peaks and surrounded by the Phoenix Mountains in the east and Emei Mountains in the west. For thousands of years, people of the Pei clan have either embarked on the path of studying and becoming officials, or returned to their hometowns and lived in the fields.
“Farming and reading will last for a long time, and poetry and books will last for a long time.” Their chanting traveled through thousands of years. (Reporter Wang Feifei and Wang Hao)

Looking through the students’ works, including mountains, flowing water, folk houses, or ancient trees, the students said that these ordinary scenery in the village are endlessly novel to the students. “Two days ago, I painted a scene of an old man harvesting corn. The simple feeling made me feel that I had really entered rural life.” said student Zhai Tian.
In order to better serve teachers and students who are sketching, Zecheng Village has introduced cultural tourism companies to transform some idle residential buildings into high-standard B&Bs, and simultaneously implanted cultural and creative shops, tea shops and other business formats to create an integrated village.

They are distributed in 4 towns and 18 villages and can accommodate more than 2,000 people at the same time. “Zecheng Sketching Base has covered 6 surrounding villages and more than 90 sketching spots, basically within 10 kilometers of Zecheng Village.” Qu Xiaojian said.
Most teachers and students come to Zecheng Village and stay for 7 days to a month. The constant flow of people brings development opportunities to Zecheng Village. “Last year, the per capita income of the village was close to 14,000 yuan. The villagers renovated and renovated their houses to receive tourists, and prospered together with Zecheng Village.” said Li Shaofeng, a cadre of Zecheng Village.

Now the house has almost become an ‘Internet celebrity’ and there are more tourists.” ” Villager Liu Pinggui said.

The “Jade Dew Fragrance” in Shangliu Village
The continuous autumn rain hits the plastic tarpaulin, making a “crackling” sound “The sound. Under a temporary rain shelter in the orchard, freshly picked Fuji apples were piled into a “hill”, and Shi Lanji and several fellow villagers were busy setting nets on them. “When the rain stops, the buyers will come and take it away,” he said.
Sixty-three-year-old Shi Lanji is a major planter in Liu Village, Longquan Town, Xi County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. He manages 60 acres of orchards and plants apple trees, pear trees, apricot trees, etc. Relying on these fruit trees, Lao Shi can earn more than 200,000 yuan a year. He smiled and said: “These trees are the hero of my family. With them, I supported two children to go to college and married wives for all three sons.”
In Shangliu Village, people who rely on fruit trees to get rich Lao Shi’s family is far more than just a farmer.
“There are many households in our village with income of 100,000 yuan, probably half of them.” Village party secretary Liu Zhifeng told reporters that of the 571 households in the village, about 80% of the population is engaged in the pear industry, with an average of 100,000 yuan per household. The planting area of each household reaches 5 acres. In 2023, the output value of the village’s pear and fruit industry will reach 8.96 million yuan, which comes from agriculture Sugar daddyThe average household income of the industry is about 90,000 yuan.
Who would have thought that seven or eight years ago this was a poor village with an average household income of less than 10,000 yuan.
Recalling the situation back then, Liu Zhifeng frowned. “People are poor and have a lot of troubles,” he said. “In the past, villagers often quarreled over trivial matters. The road environment in the village was also relatively dilapidated and dirty.”
Shangliu Village has always been known as the “Hometown of Pears and Fruits” However, in the past, because the quality of the products did not improve, the pear fruit could not be sold at a high price. “The lowest price for a kilogram of crisp pears is 40 cents. After working hard for a year, you still lose money when the accounts are settled.” Liu Chunping, a big grower, recalled, “Many people even want to cut down the trees and go out to work to make money.”
To eradicate the root causes of poverty, improving technology and management has become the key. In recent years, Shangliu Village has made great efforts to organize farmers to receive technical training, learn scientific fertilization, pruning, flower thinning and other knowledge, and establish a complete scientific management system from planting to harvest, which has greatly improved the commercial fruit rate.
In response to the problems of small scale and narrow sales of the pear industry, Shangliu Village transferred 200 acres of collective land and adopted the “village collective + farmer household” management method to develop the Yulu Fragrant Pear Close Planting Garden and use this to promote The villagers replanted the original pear trees with high inoculations and promoted the cultivation of Yulu fragrant pear.
Taking advantage of the efforts of the county committee and government to create the “Xixian Yulu Xiang” brand, the Yulu Xiang pears in Shangliu Village are sold for up to four or five yuan per catty. The village also holds the “Pear Blossom Festival” and “Picking Festival” every year to expand the market for pear fruits. Today, the village’s Yulu fragrant pear output has reached more than 5 million jins, with an output value of more than 6 million yuan. This alone has increased the average income of villagers by more than 10,000 yuan.
In May this year, Shangliu Village built another 20 acres of smart orchard demonstration area, installed integrated water and fertilizer production facilities, and adopted intelligent analysis of soil moisture, remote insect trapping monitoring, and all-weather Internet of Things Advanced technologies such as on-duty collection ensure the green safety of pear fruits. With the promotion and application of new technologies, orchards have ushered in the “second technological revolution.”
Liu Chunping’s 9 acres of pear orchard underwent intelligent transformation this year, serving as the village’s “eat the crab first” “People”, he has already felt the changes brought about by technology. “In the past, I had to drive a tricycle and pull a water pump all over the land to spray medicine on 9 acres of land. It took me no less than four or five hours to finish the job. Now I can remotely control the equipment on my mobile phone, and it only takes four or five minutes to complete the job.”
At the same time as the fields, the appearance of the village Sugar daddy has undergone tremendous changes. Nowadays, walking on the streets, you can see the beautiful scenery of the countryside everywhere: well-proportioned houses, flat and clean streets, courtyards full of fruits, and squares with well-equipped facilities, which make people feel comfortable.
Liu Zhifeng said that in recent years, Shangliu Village has been “driven by capable people” through “village-enterprise cooperation”Through “rental renovation” and other methods, we built 16 greenhouses and renovated 10 B&Bs. We explored the integrated development of agricultural and cultural tourism industries such as grape planting, greenhouse cherries, four-season picking, and rural tourism, and built a 300KW village-level photovoltaic power station.
