Only in this article dedicated to peer Awa, ten-mile camphor, Directors son, 11, and on the road friends.
If flow through the ages meditate pit for the first time, is a set of beautiful pictures told me Jiangxi stream pits, a tribe Quan Dong stretch so far from the Han Dynasty of ancient villages, one located in the open valley floor radius of 3.61 square kilometers of the villages, ancient agricultural society out of print, impression of the collapsed buildings and courtyards in the head leakage of light out of the old lady's face silhouetted against the vicissitudes of the lines, many farming tools, the horse quiet walls, lined up in the laundry woman .... I was shocked to its dust-laden, but because my home is an ancient Huizhou, in the Confucian school were under the influence of emblem I grew up in this "out of print," actually a little nose, but the bottom of my heart there is always uneasy, it would be a real "eternal first Village "do?
With Qi Ji, with dreams, and to confirm its value, March 21 at noon, I am from Wuhan embarked on a journey to the flow of the pit. I never imagined that we do not discount the first Awa With perseverance, determination, have worked continuously for 10 hours at the last car in the narrow pit road stream Biao flying up, and finally arrive at the zero flow pit. Entrance to the village's old camphor tree in the dim moonlight stretched forward to its ghost figure, an arch-like building standing at the entrance to the village coldly. Village head style restaurant in the stream of the Dong Xing fellow feeble torch light under the guidance of one foot deep into the shallow kick to the village. All this in the dark because of the march, the truth about the current pit has not yet insight. The current pit surprise trip would bring me do? With hope and confusion, I curled up in the wooden attic fell asleep.
Building articles - Ang Ling Qiao-yu 10000 of the city, next morning, we have four girls have been dazzling light and sound of ear-piercing whistle awakened, and open the windows, looking ahead, a huge ancient village are now front of eyeful of blue bricks and gray tiles, Ang Ling Qiao Yu, distant green hills near the village catch an early, good pit a stream. Hurried eating breakfast, our tour guide, led the girl into the Middle Kingdom.
The mouth of a village trail, we saw a stone bridge leading to the village center, the lake has dried up under the bridge of the dragon is said to be the ancestors of current pit surrounded on three sides to make the flow of water into a pit surrounded by water, feng shui treasure, hand-dug chisel of a lake. Can see that the ancients to build their homes are racking their brains for. Chang-Ming Dong Fan wife during his lifetime, "Gaoping villas" and behind the "tombstone" sit falls Longhu West Bank. Since ancient times, the tomb built in his home side not many, let alone preserved tombs of the Ming Dynasty; must have liked the couple during his lifetime lively and peace are also looking at today's Yourenruzhi kinds of leisure or pleasure. When we have to follow the bridge into the lane, the Awa Yaozhi Lake Sipan, oh, not that there are several repairs Guci is preparing to open. We have come to see what was going on, a total of three, three-room, deep lot, but the scene is a dilapidated, bricks all over the floor, wall Quotations from Chairman Mao faintly discernible. Several local experts are discussing things that start, a few villagers are moving on and out to the valuable belongings Guci. I think this might be to protect the ancient buildings, to expand tourist attraction in a good way. However, this depends on experts on deep-Ming Dong is not deep historical research, and planning a good bad. Modern society, people have nostalgia, and some people say things that are not genuine, then repair, reluctant to pay their last respects, but I feel that if the monuments destroyed, in many cases repair is a continuation of future generations to its spiritual essence. Like today, the Yellow Crane Tower, Wuhan, People go in appreciating the Yellow Crane Tower is not the start to see a modern, but rather to the release of a feeling, what are in decline, are changing, only the "Yellow Crane thing of the past" " Scenes in Yangzhou "in the same state of mind.
Village on the way, listening to tour guide, the layout of the village to "seven horizontal pricked" of the road as the main framework for inter-connectivity to countless alleys. The seven lanes are east-west, parallel arrangement. In the Lane Village at the end of the main import and export, are built with relevant Kai, to buy their own defense capabilities. Lane straight to the river mouth east of the pier Echoing the river wind smoothly into the lane village, so that the village in the air fresh. Roadway with gravel, the highway underground drainage system and incorporate the village of water, from east to west into the lake, and then discharged into the pit section of Wujiang River flows downstream to avoid pollution. The main body of the layout of the village under the terrain objects in accordance with a landscape, built Ancestral Hall, built College, repair streets, build play Temple, Li pavilion, so that flow Hang akin to a fortress, one or the other. We can not but marvel stream pit and architectural planning. The village has 260 households, each of the architectural styles, traveling, I want to House Square, through the arch, ancestral halls, houses for the category, each a little more give 12 unique buildings, as for the mind.
House Square - Imperial House. Imperial House to commemorate the Song Dynasty scholar DONG Yuan built. The board is located in the West Village street, the street-side vertical flagpole granite stone still exist. Imperial House of the ancient appearance of significant stately, imposing imposing, internal structure small and exquisite, simple and elegant. Deng Imperial House, look at old mottled, pattern revealed traces of the ancient wall and rhyme legacy of the plaque, Alliance, shrines, altar, giving a quaint, solemn feeling. Body set which makes the humanities governor's admiration, and vicissitudes of history feeling arises spontaneously. In the House on the winding corridors, the distance, peaks competing show, mist shrouded; near, the main village with the eyes of their efforts was the village side of magnificent old trees, the lake as a mirror. Imperial House is intended to encourage the village was later scholars, but nobody from the village over to his official posts, from this, nor a height of housing more than Mandarin. This is indeed a symbol of the John Tung portal.
St. Paul - Jingbiao Festival arch. If we say that the male statue in the name of Dong Hang, there is the flow of future generations admired female representation, so that when pushing this chastity arch of the story about the heroine. The arch is located in the late Qing Dynasty Lane East, flour Lane, built for the masonry construction, top of the above, both sides of the symmetry, Yanjiaoqiqiao. The front at the top of the "sacred" in vertical plaque. The story of the two-laws, the same fate, are young widowhood, and later had each other, determined to remarry the fate of the plaintive. Their descendants built a house next to St. Paul to Square, the main entrance door, Shashi unique.
Shrine - Big Dong's ancestral hall. Legends of the big ancestral hall is a former big yard with double eaves and a three-building, scene of a broad, magnificent architecture, elegant and spectacular. Unfortunately, today we can see that have been damaged after surviving a few warlords with large stone pillars and a pair of red lions. Today, the former site of a large ancestral hall is for a village primary school, the site where the plot of open space has become a primary school playground. The children were playing roughhouse around every day they do not realize the pillars of the game is to witness the glory of their ancestors, and make fun of the hidden bitterness of history lies. Stood stream pit Yuanmingyuan, the people there is a bleak, ancient, deep feeling, there is also a deep aversion to war. People create their own civilization, but to use barbaric means to undermine it, and it is hard to understand, really acts against the United States today issued means.
House - "village in the village", also known as "Big Ben first" for the current pit operators Huan Qing Dynasty mansion. Room house with modern master of words, is to operators entering political stratum, and brother, eight people are gentry, participated in "rural drinking" ceremony. This is a construction group, house, there house, Qu border pass secluded, the housing wall connected with each other. It is interesting that a few architectural details inside, not only that the owner of cultural heritage, it is condensation then flows Kengren wisdom. For example, bottle-shaped brick structure with a door, blessing the people access to life-long "quiet"; "when the rain new" plaque in the "time" the words written above, a "mountain", following a "time", the sun quickly down the and hour before the meaning of less obvious, so as a pre-"time"; a wall of the "longevity" as many as 26 kinds of writing; even more amazing is that the ancients used glutinous rice, honey, egg white, stirring with tung oil painted in the wall surface, after a hundred years is still smooth, such as paint, of course, cost is very expensive, no wonder Miss also study guides in the tour guide commentary Zhengda Arts asked "Is this is what material to do it," ah we can not think of killing .
The village there are many academies play Temple, Diange representatives of construction, not a few. In fact, the entire flow of the architectural style of pit atmosphere, but there are a lot of details in the atmosphere Juanxiu flow. Like the Ming and Qing Lane, a Qing Ming wall and a wall into a folder path so that people in the space shuttle tunnels, ancient wall of Ming Dynasty, heavy, more modified roof, while the later Qing Dynasty people change Some of jerry-built, brick is also thinning, and the eaves are less, and yet concise style; each household in the courtyard are almost always long and narrow rectangle, but also through two eaves of refraction, the light just invested in being together, graced this point is more elegant than the Huizhou courtyard; reservoir in the drainage holes built into coin-shaped, said the ancients have been thrown into a Millennium Laogui dredge pipe ... ... the kind of brick and gray tiles, Mimicengceng of buildings, unlike graceful, light blue and Tai's southern residential areas, unlike romantic creak Ya Ya's Diaojiaolou, unlike the deep majestic palace mansion, unlike the loess plain black tiles of the compound in northern Shaanxi, there have never been without out of a heavy sense of history.
Chapter of history - before the five centuries of the imperial road, five centuries after the rumors of doing business under the current pit Kyrgyzstan ask two states, after a thousand years of precarious, the Hopewell culture and the pregnancy of Lin'an Lu-ling culture, the proliferation of Dong's vast, endless, clan in ancient China, the witness of cultural cohesion.
Ancestors. Flow Hang Bong Dong's chase for the ancestor of the Han Confucianist Tung Chung-shu, near ancestors of the Five Dynasties and the Tang dynasty prime minister Dong Jin Di Chuan DONG by the Confucian respect for team into the cases of impression, have a long tradition of ancestor worship. Into the single household is the classroom has a shrine where the ancestral tablets. Festival every year about it, is called sacrificial. And Ciji, that is, large and small ancestral village has a strict uniform rules of worship, every year the Spring Festival, Tomb Sweeping Festival, etc. should be given time Daxing rituals. Dong Xing also mentioned Muji, he said it was the most primitive means worship, and later as their descendants have, and travel a longer distance, and only in front of two ways, but each time he took tourists to move the town of Dong Shang Tomb of habitat are To put a long list of firecrackers, so that future generations of our ancestors bless safe flow pit.
Flow pit men and women, marriage, by the old feudal and patriarchal concept of the shackles of propriety deep married surname is strictly prohibited, in particular, and the name of filial piety can not be married women, Dong Xing Nvzi to the age of the marrying out of the village, Dong姓男子have to name the media Zhengqu rich family's daughter, this is Dong's family, one of the reasons could be so large. Under the feudal system, as the name of a prominent family who is not only of marriages has obvious discrimination against women, even normal daily life, but can also make for men, women's lead. Thought that chastity arch-laws under both, the reigning in of the deep compassion, they are the victims of the feudal ethical code. In a family, we see that a recent photo, above all, this man's photo, as many as 100 people. When we asked why women do not leave according to commemorate this old lady surprised to say that a woman shot to Why ah, the man is master. True so-called "lamented the former stream Hang eunuch can take his wife, Xiao Kan today's photo all men and women do not stay."
Touched the deepest pit in the stream in the Yang-shan Temple exorcise stage viewing. I have only mentioned previously with Exorcise Xiangxi a "catch corpse" and other traditional feudal superstition, streaming pits Exorcise ancestral brought back from the Khitan, is infected by the ancient exorcism ceremony. Stage has a morning and afternoon. We saw "Zhong Kui sweep Taiwan", "jump the God of Wealth," "out of six will" play the five games. Exorcising the troupe old man who used musical instruments combined with the actor performing the door. Exorcise those dancing is also a local veteran actors, but each move of each style are rhythmic, without language, only masks and use hand gestures can be played to the role of the vivid personality.
Heard first lunar month, ninth day since the annual flow of the pit folk customs more so-called "swim He Yang God" "Charming Chinese Lanterns", turned out is that many photographers a good time collecting folk songs.
Five hundred years before the flow pits, out of a lot of scholars, achievements of the elite government officials family; the flow of five hundred years after the pit, but also industry-business, there are a lot of wealthy gentry; modern flow pits experienced the glory of their ancestors down after the decline; Today's flow of migrant workers, many pit, tourism has gradually prosper, they can do revival of old illustrious family?
Life chapter - While the days of coins strung brand, streaming pits ancient architectural complex as it is unforgettable, but the home is a human habitat for vectors, and the crowd is our state of the real-life looking for treasures. Flow into the pit people, appreciate their lives, perhaps in order to feel the flow of the real pits.
Flow Kengren life really is out of tune with the intense pace of life. Pit on the second day morning in the stream, the next had a light rain, the Middle Kingdom all the more refreshing. We entered the village, saw 32 children frolic in the chase; Danzhao women get up early firewood down from the hills, the shuttle in the lane, you also do not have conception plug in a few bundles of firewood on azalea; a middle-aged men to take the stools next to the bar turned from the door has a thick yellow book; woman were carrying a small-Ya, Yi Ya's do not know what to say, basking in the bright red just washed the green quilt clothing; women's laundry wooden club riverside sound, scrub sound, sound mixed a joke ... ... Haha, one living in the paradise of the flow hole. We came to go to the market's morning market, in addition to selling breakfast is some simple meat and vegetables, this is the current pit of the most bustling place, there are many farmers in the village where the only group of premature Zaoche ride into the city, No wonder we are sleeping two nights, the original Zaoche drizzly two days the whole village wake up call on the whistle.
Flow pits women also like to play coin card, a kind of use "Kangxi reign" of the coins to play the Licensing Board in order to distinguish between coins on the back of writing to do, similar to today's Mahjong. Qing flow pit, trade and economy is extremely prosperous, most men go out to do business, large very dull people's leisure time of a woman to pass the time as both simple and easy, but also penetrate the stimulus money, so prevalent is not bad, but the effect on the What Day? Who created? Is allowed and the.
Flow pits traditional diet is also coveted. Dong Xing out of Homebrew on the contribution of rice wine, bean curd cake mold, we also brought back the mold of fish, more difficult to forget is that in the village in the hands of an elderly couple to buy a pass deep-fried tofu ring mold, we have five members of his people have It is eating nothing left.
Pit daily flow of villagers was undoubtedly the fire heating barrel, threshing machines, Chung tofu tools, barn, Rakes ... ... This is how we all pairs of novelty, like coins strung card day, bit by bit, many small streams.
Modern chapter - Pit Road flow Pit Road flow stream past a dusty pit; yesterday's pit because of tourism development in the flow of streams has been marked pit road; today's flow of pit and because tourism boom, but also a direct entrance to the village on the convergence of the cement road, with restaurants, hotels, IC telephone, public toilets, tourist, tourism management and development will be more modernized.
To the ancient village tourism, and our feelings are often contradictory. We always want to pit flow is always the "eternal first village" to maintain the original state, do not want it tainted with the business community atmosphere, it becomes the eternal pure land in Jiangxi, but what right do we deprive the pursuit of flow Kengren of modern material civilization right? How can we bear to let them rest in the storms of the old house is always subject to many of the shackles of patriarchal habits do? The outside people have found them, give them a new civilization, the wind, how will they see the outside world and cruel to their limits in the family plot then?
But I'm afraid, afraid of is that when Exorcise just be watching the show for tourists; fear is that alarms the Guci batch after batch of visitors that Jigen heaven the eternal pillars of the dream; fear is when the flow of the next generation of pit After the arrival of tourists in the billowing impetuous attitude gradually, and gradually discarded flow pit legacy; fear is that the migrant workers go back to built a small building there is no individuality; fear is an ancient walls covered with green tourism to indicate a license; The fear was that the villagers to see the tourists go visit the family pulled to see the "antique"; fear is the local tourist bureau for petty profits undermines the flow of pit civilization ... ... might just have found an ancient village also beckons to it gradually obliterated by modern civilization.
Fortunately, Fortunately, an ancient village in the not be allowed to build a new house, but fortunately, there are many local people such as the Dong Hing want to stream out of the pit to a more complete, but fortunately, a lot of visitors to preserve it, and does not pollute it, but fortunately, There are many well-known scholars put forward many proposals for protecting the ... ...
Perhaps the ancient flow of the lens in the pit has become our historical memory. Do not know if I write this it is a blessing or a curse, but I will keep this dream, this native complex, this eternal meditate forever!
