The circumstance of this village is such: Village of fourth house mountain is apart from 45 kilometers of long lowing county, shan Gaolin is close, air is fresh, the pattern that still maintaining primitive dorp up to now (see below network photograph)
The reason that there is mosquito in village of according to legend is village roadside have toad of a stone, the mouth of stone toad forward the direction of the village, always blessing village, the villager forever sacred toadstone, because there is mosquito in this village.

So, fourth house mountain can do not have mosquito in more than 1000 years, what reason be after all? I think, basically have 3 reasons:
The first, fourth house mountain has in whole village thick and odour of intense sweet camphor tree, can be inside very big range of drive mosquito enter
Always be in the Yangtse River with south went up the person of age knows, sweet camphor is mosquito is the biggest " Ke Xing " , sweet camphor sends out flavour of a when go out thick sweet camphor tree, after wanting mosquito to smell only, can leave far, dare not be close to.
And fourth house mountain relies on to rectify stature namely in send out for a long time the taste of sweet camphor tree that give comes drive besides mosquito. According to textual research, going up century before seventies, of village of fourth house mountain all over the mountains and plains it is primitive sweet camphor completely, the diameter with some sweet truncal camphor achieves 23 meters big, it is hundreds of years of very consummate chiliad the sweet camphor of tree age. In which moment, there is mosquito in the village.
Enter on century after seventies, because local common people is many on hill,lumber, do not cause time, remain only with respect to what cut the sweet camphor tree on hill very few. The sweet camphor of these fell trees is very major be to be sold, having one share is the villager people with will build house of camphor tree board, made furniture.
Although primitive sweet camphor is major fell trees, but just about because of the villager people built a house with sweet camphor, made furniture, add degenerate in great quantities inside very long period before sweet camphor dry, branch and leaf drop in all over the mountains and plains, and the one part sweet camphor that nowadays grows, make fourth house mountain range whole the village is sending out for a long time an odour of full-bodied sweet camphor tree, formed mosquito to be hard to enter this village " macroclimate " . Accordingly, make fourth house mountain preserves a history that does not have mosquito more than 1000 years.
The 2nd, fourth house mountain does not have mosquito more than 1000 years, also have particular concern with the geographical azimuth of this village
