5．施琅故里
明清古镇衙口原名南浔，是收复台湾统一版图的功臣施琅的故乡，因施琅在家乡建靖海侯府，村民在衙门外集市贸易，日久，南浔乡即被俗称为衙口。靖海侯府和施氏大宗祠现辟为施琅纪念馆，馆内珍贵的文物资料充分表彰了施琅的爱国主义思想和对海峡两岸政治、军事、文化、经济、交通等社会事业作出重大贡献的历史功绩。2006年5月施琅纪念馆被国务院公布为国家重点文物保护单位，也是泉州市爱国主义教育基地和国防教育基地。衙口东面是一片五公里长的沙滩，这是一个优美、安全的天然浴场。沙滩上，身高16.83米（象征施琅1683年收复台湾）的施琅将军石雕像持剑而立，面向台湾，威武庄严。衙口村里还有规模较大的古大厝群，这些典型的闽南传统建筑是当年施氏族人随施琅迁居台湾从事闽台商贸，在衙口建造以自己商号命名的古大厝等建筑。而与施琅孩提时代相关的古寺定光庵，据传始建于唐至德年间，距今已有1200多年。衙口的风味小吃久负盛名，如百年品牌衙口花生，咸糕仔、脆皮衙口芋圆，都值得游客品尝。著名侨乡衙口，以浓厚的文化底蕴和优美的自然景观，无愧于“泉州十佳魅力乡村”美誉。
Yakou, named Nanxun, a well-known ancient town during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is hometown of Shi Lang, who rendered outstanding service in recovering Taiwan and the map of China. As Shi Lang built his home in his hometown, the villagers began to have their country fair trade in front of yamen, the government office. With the days went by, the place was called Yakou, meaning the doorway of yamen. Home of Jinghai Hou and the Ancestral Hall of Shi Family have been opened as Shi Lang Memorial Hall. The precious cultural relics exhibited in the hall have fully appreciated Shi Lang’s patriotism and his historical deeds and contribution to the politics, military affairs, culture, economy, communications and other social undertakings between the straits. In May, 2006, Shi Lang Memorial Hall became one of the key cultural relics under state-level protection publicized by the State Council. The hall is also a base for patriotism education and national defense education. To the east of Yakou lies a 5-kilometer-long beach, a beautiful and safe natural bathing place. On the beach stands a 16.83-meter high (symbolizing Shi Lang recovered Taiwan in 1683) stone statue of General Shi Lang, which faces Taiwan and looks martial and solemn with a sword holding in his hand. There are some large complexes of ancient buildings in the village of Yakou. These typical traditional buildings of Southern Fujian were built by the members of Shi family who went to Taiwan with Shi Lang to engage in trading business between Taiwan and Southern Fujian and built some large complexes of buildings named after their firms. The old temple, “Dingguang Nunnery”, which has a close relation to Shi Lang’s childhood is said to be built in the reign of Zhide of the Tang Dynasty and has a history of over 1200 years. The local snacks of Yakou have long been famous such as the 100-year-long brand of Yakou Peanuts, salty cakes, cracking Yakou taro balls and all deserve the tourists to taste. Yakou, the famous hometown of Overseas Chinese is worthy of the fame of being one of the “Top Ten Charming Villages of Quanzhou” with its cultural fundamentals and beautiful natural scenes. |
