Fellow, do you have a village history in your village?
Hebei News Network reported that Ningjin County in Xingtai and Luquan District in Shijiazhuang were selected as the first batch of "National Demonstration Counties (Districts) for Editing and Revision of Village Chronicles" in the country. Generally speaking, the village chronicle is a document that records the local humanities, geography, customs and other aspects, and has special historical, cultural and academic value.
In recent years, with the rapid changes of modern villages, the role of village chronicles and rural chronicles has become increasingly apparent. In 2017, Hebei began to deploy the compilation of village chronicles in the province, among which Ningjin County was the first county (city, district) in Xingtai City to begin to organize and plan the compilation of village chronicles, and at present, more than 360 villages in the county have all started the compilation of village chronicles, and nearly 100 manuscripts have been compiled.
How did you write the Mura Chronicle?This process can be said to be both hard and exciting. There are more than 3,800 villagers in Xiding Village, Ningjin County, with a history dating back more than 1,400 years, and it is also the hometown of Meng Qinfeng, a native of Fangzhi. In 2021, he received the task of compiling the village chronicles of Xiding Village, and he decided to start with interviewing the "living history" of the village, a 96-year-old man whose wife served in the Eighth Route Army and participated in the War of Liberation and the War of Resistance against Japan. When he saw several well-preserved military medals and armbands, he thought to himself: the material is here!Later, he and the editorial board collected information on the 11 village party branch secretaries and some old house deeds, land deeds, old books and other materials, and in April this year, the 130,000-word "Xiding Village Chronicles" was successfully printed into a beautiful sample book. Looking back on this compilation experience, he deeply realized the heavy sense of responsibility for history and hometown.
By next year, Hebei will strive to achieve the goal of counties and counties having village aspirations and cities and cities having high-quality products. Use the village chronicle to tell the story of Hebei!
Finally, let's enjoy a few excerpts from the village chronicles and feel the deep nostalgia hidden in the village chronicles!
