In the history of Guzhen Village, the administrative offices of Yong 'an and Yongning counties were set up (525-598 AD), which was once considered by feudal rulers as a "physical victory or defeat risk". The historical sites that can be seen so far include Kuixing Tower, Wenchang Pavilion, upper and lower courtyards, large and small temples, and the ground floor of yamen. From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the early liberation (in view of the traffic conditions and the geographical location of Guzhen at that time), it has always been a throat fortress, a distribution center for merchants and materials between southern Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi. Up to now, there are relics and place names such as chariots and horses, passers-by shops, Dianping, Camel Farm, Shop Yard and Cigarette Shop.

At present, about one-fifth of the residential buildings in the village during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and after the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression are still in use, and more than half of the residential buildings after the reform and opening up are modern reinforced concrete structures.

Since liberation, Guzhen Village has been the political, economic and cultural center of nine surrounding natural villages from primary cooperatives, senior cooperatives, management areas and production brigades to the present administrative villages. At present, * * * has 7 villagers' groups and 234 households. The resident population is 624, and the total cultivated land area is 1490 mu. Mainly dry land, strip fields, mountains and slopes, and a few river valleys have new beaches of less than 200 mu.

For many years, the whole village residents have mainly made a living by planting and breeding. After the reform and opening up, more than 50% of the labor force went out to work, and the family income gradually showed a diversified trend. However, the daily life of villagers mainly depends on growing food and vegetables. The main crops are wheat, corn, millet, potato, cabbage, radish, rape and so on. The main kinds of farming are pigs, chickens, cows, sheep and silkworms, but farming is not the main income of most villagers at present.

At present, the villagers' cultivated land has been fully mechanized. The whole village has 180 plows, more than 50 agricultural tricycles and more than 50 motorcycles. Some wealthy families have private cars, televisions and washing machines, and few air conditioners and refrigerators.

In recent years, weddings, funerals and other red and white events of villagers' families have continued the traditional way. But there has always been an atmosphere of keeping up with the joneses, paying high prices and hiring music classes and drama classes. The human relations between villagers have gradually changed from giving things and food to giving cash, ranging from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands. At least five yuan, ten yuan.

Residents' usual cultural and recreational life is mainly watching TV, movies, playing poker and mahjong. People are most concerned about the annual Spring Festival cultural performance "Three Great Villages of the Family". For this traditional culture that has lasted for more than 600 years in Guzhen Village, the people of the whole village showed a high degree of unity and made them feel the great power of "public opinion" and "public opinion cannot be bullied".
