The development of history
Xinhuang dong autonomous county, also known as Huangxian and Huangzhou in the past. Why a name? According to Qing Daoguang's "The Story of Huangzhou Hall", "Huangzhou Zhili Hall, dancing in the mountains." It refers to the name of Huangshan Mountain. But now the name of the mountain near Chakaoting (now the old imperial city) is no longer called Huangshan. Qing Guangxu's Hunan Tongzhi said: "Huangshan is in the west of Tangxi. This mountain is 90 miles west of Yuanzhou. There is Huangshan Mountain in Shuyang County. " Huangzhou Guild Hall is 20 miles away from Yuanzhou land 120, and it is only 90 miles to the west of the Guild Hall. It is all wrong. The Qing Dynasty's Records of Jiaqing's Reconstruction and Unification said: "Huangshan Mountain is three miles east of Tangdong." It means more accurate than before. First of all, there is Huang Xi at the junction of Mayang and Zhijiang today. Qing Tongzhi's "Yuanzhou Zhi" said: "Huangshan Mountain is six miles north." Yuanfeng Jiuyuzhi "There is Huangshan Mountain in Luyang County." Secondly, it is necessary to research the name of Huangshan Mountain and the governance of ancient Huangzhou, that is, the governance of Huangzhou Guild Hall in Qing Dynasty is not necessarily the governance of ancient Huangzhou. The Annals of Hunan in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty and the Annals of Hunan Province and Geography published after liberation are both called the ancient Huangzhou ruling umbrella. It is doubtful whether the ancient umbrella is now located. "Hunan Tongzhi" said: "Huangzhou means that its land will be deep and blocked. Today, Huangzhou Hall governs Tangqingxi County, so the treatment of Tanghuangzhou is suspected in this umbrella flood season. " "Zhijiang County Records", there is Yelang's hometown around Umbrella Village. The poor valley is shaded, the beach flows in a corner, the rocks are _ _, the boat is not allowed to disembark, the pine trees are gloomy, the grass is flourishing, the sun rises, and no pedestrians are seen. The so-called hometown of Yelang was immediately ruled by the ancient imperial state. "From this point of view, the ancient Huangzhou county is suspected to be in the east of this county, not far from the toilet water, which is one hundred miles west of Yuanzhou as mentioned in ancient books. In this way, it is also close to Huang Xi now. This problem will not be further studied in the future.
The earliest record of Huangzhou in Historical Records is the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, which was one of the fifty exiled states in Guizhou during the Wude period and was marked as "Governing the Valley". The policy of imprisonment, which began in the Tang Dynasty, was a measure of feudal centralization to rule the frontier. By appointing the leaders of all ethnic groups as governors and secretaries in Jimi prefecture, prefecture and county, it can be hereditary and strengthen national unity. Therefore, it can be seen that Huangzhou in the Tang Dynasty was a place where ethnic minorities lived in compact communities. After Song and Yuan Dynasties, Jimi Huangzhou did not exist directly. The History of Song Dynasty records such a thing: In the second year of Chunhua (AD 99 1 year), Tian Hanquan, the leader of Huangzhou, gave Su Zhong, a foreigner from the ancient Huangzhou side, a fief to the Song side and named it Huangzhou Secretariat. This is the "barbarian chieftain" in Huangzhou, which once broke away from the central feudal dynasty. He was awed by the power of the Song Dynasty and was willing to surrender.
According to archaeological findings, more than 20 paleolithic tools, such as scrapers, sharp tools and stone chips, have been excavated from many paleolithic sites in this mysterious land of Xinhuang. Neolithic stone axes, a large number of ancient animal fossils, and ancient bronze drums with national characteristics have been unearthed in the territory, which proves that there were human activities in this county from 50 thousand to 65438+ 10 thousand years ago.
According to historical records, Xinhuang belonged to Jingzhou in the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Chu in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and Qin in the middle of Guizhou before the county was established. The Western Han Dynasty was Wuyang County and Wuling County. The Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to Chenyang County, Wuling County, and the Three Kingdoms belonged to Wuyang County, Jingzhou County. That's because from the Jin Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty. It still belongs to Wuyang County and Wuling County in Southern Qi Dynasty, Biao County and Nanyang County in Southern Liang Long, Longbiao County and Yuanling County in Sui Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, counties began to build counties. In the eighth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (634), Yelang County was established in Dragon. In the second year (69 1), Wuzhou was changed to zhou yuan, and it was analyzed that Yelang County was located in Weixi County, and Weixi County was ruled in today's old imperial city. In the fourth year of Chang 'an (704), Yelang and Weixi counties in Yuanzhou were changed to Dance State. In the 13th year of Kaiyuan (725), Wuzhou was changed to Hezhou. In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan (735), Hezhou was changed to an industrial state, and Longxi County was awarded the prize, leading Eshan, Weixi and Zijiang counties. In the Tang Dynasty, another place was set up in Jimmy Prefecture, Huangzhou. The county was a part of Jimmy Prefecture and was under the jurisdiction of the former governor's office. From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties. According to Shengzhou, Tian Hanquan, the landlord of the big county, changed Shengzhou to Huangzhou.
In the second year (99 1), Tian surrendered to the Song Dynasty (still a prisoner). In the seventh year of Xining (1074), Zhang Dun regained 17 states of Dong, Qian, Gu, xian county, Xu, Xia, Zhongsheng, Fu, Wan, Embroidery, Yun, QIA, Dang, Bo, Award, E and Yi by force, and set up Yuan State in Tangtanyang Quadrant. From the second year of Daguan in the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 108) to the second year of Xuanhe (A.D. 1 120), the county was restored to Yelang County.
In 13th year of Yuan Dynasty (1276), Yuanzhou appeasement department was set up, and it was changed to Yuanzhou Road in the following year, and the county belongs to Luyang County.
In the Ming Dynasty, Yuanzhou was a county with Huangzhou Post and Huangzhou Inspection Department.
In the first year of Qianlong reign in Qing Dynasty (1736), Yuanzhou was promoted to be a government, and Zhijiang County was established, and Liang Sanping was added as a member of Tongguan. After three years of Qianlong, Liangshan Inspection Department was established in Huangzhou Post Office. In the twenty-second year of Jiaqing, the Qing court sent the governors of Hunan and Guizhou provinces to investigate and draw Huangzhou Zhili Hall from Zhijiang County, belonging to Chen Yuan Road.
In the second year of the Republic of China (19 13), the abandoned church was located in Huangxian County.
1949165438+1On October 7th, Huangxian County was liberated,1On October 7th, 10 Huangxian County People's Government was established, belonging to the same district.

Local customs and practices
Legend of liangsangong mother rock
On the Liangshan ridge in the northwest corner of Liangsan Township, xinhuang dong autonomous county, there stand two huge stones, one of which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, standing on the summit like a giant with an umbrella; An elegant building stands on the cliff on one side of the summit, just like a beautiful woman. People call it public rock and parent rock.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a stockade called Maple City under Liangshan Ridge. There is a hardworking and honest young man named Manlang in the stockade. There is also a stockade across the river called Zizhuping. There is a rich man's daughter named Ye Niang in the stockade. Manlang's family is poor, and he has been looking after cattle helpers in Ye's family since he was a child. When I was a child, Man Lang and Ye Niang were very close and often played together. Every time Manlang comes back from driving cattle in the mountains, he will pick some wild flowers and fruits for Ye Niang to eat. Although Ye Niang grew up in a rich family, she didn't have the charm of a young lady at all, and she often clamored to go up the mountain to play with Man Lang. Sometimes, I secretly give the rice chaff at home to Manlang. Really childhood friends, two small conjectures. When they grow up, their hearts are like an invisible silk thread. They often have private trysts, pour out their hearts and swear to be together for life and never part. Later, when Ye Niang's parents found out, they called Manlang, scolded Manlang severely, and drove Manlang out of the house, forbidding him to set foot in the gate of Zizhuping Village again. At the same time, lock Ye Niang in the embroidery building and let the maid watch. Then, under the matchmaking of Kama matchmaker, she found a husband's family for Ye Niang. This man is three times older than her. The wedding is scheduled for March 3rd. Ye Niang refused to live or die and cried like a crybaby. And Manlang looked at Zizhuping and thought about Ye Niang. Acacia became sick and her body became thin day by day.
On the third day of March, the day of Ye Niang's wedding arrived. No matter how she resisted, she was finally forced to leave with a sedan chair on her back.
The wedding procession crossed Xixi and climbed Liangshan. Suddenly, Ye Niang got out of the car and shouted the name of Man Lang, while desperately running to the top of Liangshan. The bride chased her desperately, but before Ye Niang was held by her relatives, Ye Niang had floated down from the cliff on the top of Liangshan like a red leaf. At this time, a white light flashed in the sky and a crack suddenly appeared. Thunder roared, rain poured out of cracks, and the earth shook violently. Married people were thrown off the cliff. Blink of an eye, the whole area covered by parasols with maple trees and Zizhuping is a piece of Wang Yang, which has become a lake. People and Manlang walked around this vast lake, calling Ye Niang's name and looking for Ye Niang. I searched for seven days and seven nights, but I couldn't find Ye Niang.
In order to find Ye Niang and help the victims recover their homes, Manlang decided to dig a gap in the north of Tianhu to drain the water. He dug for days and nights and was exhausted, but the mountain pass was not dug at all. But he never gave up, never gave up, and kept digging. Perhaps his spirit touched the gods. One day, while he was digging hard, the north of Tianhu was red, followed by a loud noise, and the mountain pass in the north cracked, and the water in Tianhu poured out of the crack.
The sky and the lake receded slowly, and Manlang walked around with an umbrella, looking for the trace of the night mother. When the lake retreated to the middle of Liangshan Cliff, I saw Ye Niang's slender body, quietly nestled next to the cliff Gu Song, with a sweet smile on her face, as if nothing had happened here. When Manlang saw it, he called Ye Niang's name, ran to the edge of the cliff, jumped off the cliff and ran to Ye Niang.
From then on, the sincere lovers turned into a pair of stone statues and stood upright at the top of the beautiful Liangshan Mountain. People call them Gong Yan and Mu Yan. Their sincere love has touched generations of young men and women. In order to commemorate them, every year on the third day of the third lunar month, local young men and women are dressed up, and friends are invited to meet here, singing and having fun. Year after year, this has gradually become a local custom.
At the top of Liangshan Mountain, this pair of grotesque male and female rocks has stood up to now and has become a unique and rare spectacle. Ancient folk customs attract tourists from all over the world. Come and see their faces!
Nuo culture
Lu Si Village, Gongxi Township, Xinhuang County, located deep in the mountains, is a Nuo culture village in Yelang County, which radiates dazzling brilliance to the world.
From 65438 to 0985, a Dong man wrote "On China Nuo Culture" with the theme of Xinhuang Nuo Culture, which caused a sensation in academic circles.
From 65438 to 0986, domestic Dong cultural experts entered Xinhuang Nuo Culture Village one after another. Before and after the village are towering trees, and the courtyard wall of the house is made of slate, which is rough and natural. The house is made of wood, the walls are painted blue with paulownia, and there is a corridor in the house, which is also carved in wood and engraved with detailed patterns. The village director's family is one of them. Slightly different, there are several certificates of "excellent village director" issued by the government on the wall, and the "village work garden" is posted on the wall of the owner. The village director is relatively young and looks simple and ordinary.
A wonderful work of art after blood staining.
"I am a farmer who cuts wood, digs, mows grass and plows fields. Farmers worship the land god, which is the land in the sky and underground, the land at the end of the depression, the land at the end of the village and the land on the ridge. " Therefore, the farmer prayed to the land god for a bumper harvest of grain and the prosperity of six livestock. The land that God generously promised. The farmer prayed to the land god to drive away the plague. The land god will drive away the plague, and the cultivators will thank the land god. This is a Nuo opera "jumping to the ground", in which the land god is played by the 86-year-old farmer Long of Nuo Culture Village. In Nuo culture village, almost all farmers can be called artists, but these farmers never go out to perform arts, but they are out-and-out farmers. The old man Long said that only in the "Central Plains" in the seventh half of the lunar calendar and the "Shangyuan" in the Spring Festival Lantern Festival, the Nuo opera was performed collectively. There are 80 programs in Nuo Opera * * *, and 108 people play the roles of Jade Emperor, Lei Gong, Dian Mu, Jiang Gong and Guan Yu. This group activity takes 4 days and 4 nights to complete. It is a concrete deduction of China's primitive farming culture in Dong township, and it has incorporated war, witchcraft and medicine in the development process, making Nuo culture more distinctive. So, how did Nuo culture come into being and develop here? This is related to the origin and changes of Nuo culture village. Although the old man Long Ziming has white hair and beard, his memory is surprisingly good. He said that Nuo Culture Village had two surnames, Long and Yao, and Yongle in Ming Dynasty was 17 (14 19). Originally living in Longzhai, Pingxi, Jingzhou, the Long family saw that Lu Si Village was surrounded by mountains and waters and could be used as a folk house, so they moved from Longzhai. In the 22nd year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty (1486), Yao moved from Xinzhai Township, the county seat to Tianjiazhai, and later his descendants moved to the village. After Long and Yao moved into Nuo Culture Village, they developed an ancient Nuo opera. Nuo opera, also known as "knocking and pushing", integrates the art of singing, speaking and dancing, and is equipped with four musical instruments: cymbals, gongs, suona and drums. The style of the program is primitive, mysterious, rough and beautiful, which is a strange phenomenon of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
After the Yao people moved in, Nuo Culture Village moved to Yang. Since then, after more than 400 years of hard work, Nuo Culture Village has developed into a famous market with nearly 200 households and a population of 1000 during the Qing Daoguang and Xianfeng years. The prosperity of Nuo culture village provides conditions for the development of Nuo opera. At that time, in addition to singing during the Spring Festival and the plague, performances were often performed. In the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), in Gantun, which is only five miles away from Nuo Culture Village, Jiangling of Dong people was located in Lu Si Village, Gongxi Township, Xinhuang County, deep in the mountains, which radiated dazzling brilliance to the world.
