The peach blossoms are blooming brightly, and the willow branches are sprouting tender buds. Yujia Village, Jingxing County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, is famous for its "Stone Village" in the Taihang Mountains. It is full of spring. Groups of tourists stroll through it, casually recording the beautiful spring scenery with their phones. According to the Jingxing County Annals, Yujia Village was first built during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of over 500 years. It is the residence of the descendants of the famous Ming Dynasty politician Yu Qian. It is located 800 miles deep in the Taihang Mountains, with villages built with stones as houses and paved with stones as roads. This is the world of stones. In recent years, this ancient village hidden in the deep mountains has gradually gained fame and transformed into a popular check-in spot, and villagers have enjoyed "tourism meals". In front of the landmark building "Qingliang Pavilion" in the village, 63 year old Yu Cuitian is explaining the architectural characteristics of the village to tourists. She speaks fluent Mandarin with a smile on her face. According to Yu Cuitian, there are 5 village guides like her, each with a monthly income of over 1000 yuan. Although it is a part-time "grassroots team", everyone hopes to let more people know about Yujia Village, so they constantly learn and summarize the history and legends of the village, striving to tell the story of their hometown well. In a farmhouse converted from a stone old house, 56 year old Kang Rui'e is busy in the kitchen. The quaint wooden signs and red lanterns at the entrance of the courtyard are particularly eye-catching, while strings of red chili peppers quietly hang in the courtyard, exuding a strong rural atmosphere. Upon seeing the arrival of guests, Kangrui E warmly greeted them while quickly handing over the menu. Kang Rui'e, who used to work in other places, said that with the 5th Shijiazhuang Tourism Industry Development Conference held in Jingxing in 2019 and the completion of the "Taihang Heavenly Road" in Jingxing, more and more people came to play, so she went home and started a rural tourism. Although the per capita arable land in the village is less than two acres, the locally sourced stupid eggs, stewed chicken, and wild vegetables here are quite popular among tourists. Kang Rui'e felt satisfied that she could earn money at her doorstep. "Yujia Village has been recognized as a famous historical and cultural village in China, a traditional Chinese village, and a key rural tourism village in Hebei Province due to its unique stone architecture and long historical heritage." Yu Hui, the party branch secretary of Yujia Village, said that in recent years, the village has raised funds to restore 20 ancient buildings, and the county has introduced tourism development companies to the village. In addition to traditional sightseeing tours, new business formats such as research tours, specialty catering, traditional stone ground tofu, and Jingxing flower pulling intangible cultural heritage exhibitions have also been developed, bringing new vitality to the ancient village. According to Yu Hui, Yujia Village, with a permanent population of only over 500 people, currently has 8 shops, 6 restaurants, and more than ten farmhouses. Introducing a tourism development company for operation, adopting a "minimum guarantee+dividend" model, the company will achieve a collective dividend of over 500000 yuan in the village by 2023. At the same time, the company will also hire more than 40 villagers, and the number of employees on important holidays will double. "There are not only unique stone buildings in the Taihang Mountains here, but also simple folk culture and rich history. Walking in the village feels like one's heart can calm down," said Ren Yanjie, a teacher from an art school in Shijiazhuang. On that day, she was studying here with dozens of elementary school students. We
