下水头村是潮安区江东镇下辖的行政村,在上水头村之南,东、西两面紧靠韩江堤围,与潮州城区和枫溪区隔江对望。村名因位于上水头之下而来。[1]

历史沿革[edit]

村中蔡姓先辈原自浙江迁居福建莆田,再迁澄海渔洲;据博雅地名网,明隆庆年间(隆庆元年即公元1567年)蔡兰轩自渔洲来此创村。村中另有李姓一支,先辈在此定居至今;新中国成立后,林姓由潮州城区迁来落户。[1]

1977年,村以主村之名设立下水头大队;1999年改为村民委员会,此名沿用至今。[1]

地理环境[edit]

村子北部与上水头村相接,南面与钟厝、柚杭、柚园等村毗邻。地势较高,土地平坦,属沙壤土,经多年改良和兴修渠沟,排涝灌溉条件得到改善。[1]

人口民族[edit]

博雅地名网所载全村共有324户,计1457人(男690、女767),另有李姓59人、林姓9人。该网站未注明统计年份。[1]

经济[edit]

村里以农业和家庭副业为主,耕地约260亩,村民多种蔬菜,以芥菜和白茄较为出名。村内没有村办企业,个体民营企业则从事服装、洗熨、机绞、机绣和手工艺品的来料加工。另有三百余名青壮年长期在省内城市打工,或做小本生意。[2]

文化[edit]

清乾隆年间,村中乡贤蔡新孝曾任太子太傅,村里因此建有“蔡氏家庙”。乾隆二十二年,蔡美庵中进士;光绪年间,蔡启赐、蔡成统等人官至七品。[2]

清末民初,村中开办夜校,并于此兴建“和衷学校”;抗战胜利后,学校经备案定名为「潮安江东乡第五中心小学」,附近上水头、钟厝、柚杭、柚园等村的学童都曾在此读书。解放后,学校先改名为“水头学校”,后称“下水头学校”。据博雅地名网,知名侨亲李汉强出资70万元建设江东华侨中学,蔡其逢则出资30万元修建下水头学校。[2]
