Bihou ( Chinese: 庇厚; pinyin: Bìhòu; Jyutping: bei3hau5) or Pei Hou, [1] is a natural village located in Hexin Residential Community ( Chinese: 合新社区; pinyin: Héxīn Shèqū) in Taicheng Subdistrict, Taishan, in Guangdong province, southern China. [2] The village is located at latitude 22.2489234°N and longitude 112.7630542°E, 11 metres (36 ft) above sea level, off Guishui Road (桂水路). [3]
Rice, fish, bananas, pawpaw and pig feed are grown around the village.[ citation needed]
Bihou was founded in the 18th century by Tan Gong Chang (譚公昌), one of the many descendants of the viscounts of the feudal State of Tan (1046BC-684BC) in present-day Shandong Province. [4]
All of its inhabitants are still of one patrilineage with the clan name of Tan (譚), and have family in Taicheng and Yangjiang.[ citation needed] Expatriate family members have settled in Australia and the United States.[ citation needed]
On March 3, 1941, Japanese troops attacked the village as part of the assault on the neighboring Taicheng Township. [5] Bullet holes are still visible in the fabric of the now-defunct village clan school, and through one of the neighboring palm trees.
The children of Bihou and a dozen other villages attend the Chengxi Kaizhi Primary School (城西开智小学). [6]
The village hosts the Bihou Village Cultural Building (庇厚村文化楼), which was opened some years ago, when it was reported in the local media. [7]
The village hosted a celebration of the Double Ninth Festival, which included a parade, song, and dance, [8] and was largely meant to celebrate the elderly. As part of the festival, the village's married women donned qipaos, performed a lion dance, and partook in a number of other traditions for an audience of the village elders. [9]
