Town for my memory is a poem left by a deep impression:
You Zhisan wandering alone in the long insisted on a long loneliness of the Rain Lane but with a Lilac I hope that every girl like she is the same as the color of clove clove like fragrance ... ...
Town is a dusty memory, is the millennium of cultural accumulation. Like rain and fog in the girl, to lure me to go meet with her.
Huangshan City (Tunxi) to Hongcun, Xidi route is from Tunxi Bus Station to Yixian County, and from Yixian to Hongcun or Xidi, each time returned to Yixian County, because the two villages just in the county town both sides of the one in the southwest, one in the northeast, about 10 kilometers away from the county areas. I went to Hongcun. Into the village road is a footpath across the pond, the Central has a stone arch bridge, both sides are bits and pieces of the lotus leaf. The other side is a mottled white walls of the residential blocks have. The distance is the faint, if present in the mountains. Standing on the side of the pond to see, Hongcun is like a floating on the water of the towns and villages. Follow the tour guide, into the village, a narrow, tall walls. Each drill into a door, is a dusty, old story. Housing or business owner or officer, most of studying so hard for fame, or else wandering outside the business, are the same as the ultimate goal is to save enough money to return home after another, built this house for future generations to remember. Looked fine, delicate wood carvings, Hui-hung, roof, as well as the villagers are busy selling all kinds of antiques. I am puzzled that they are the descendants of the house owners do? And did not sink in the small towns and villages of our predecessors, and out of towns and villages, creating so much wealth, only in that blind shortage of office has a unique water system built towns and villages, and their descendants, over a thousand years is also still living in this tumbledown buildings in for the wave of wave of visitors to view? ! I dare not try to speculate too much on their present lives. When one looks at selling cucumbers for tourists chasing kids, I think they present the play in the pond to catch fish, what let them lose their childhood, I can not answer.
Roadside ditch in the village there, tour guides known as the "cow intestines." Large and small intestines of cattle converged to the "cow stomach" - is located in the central village of yueyahu constitute Hongcun unique to the drainage system. Yueyahu around the scene very well, far from the rolling hills, nearby is a mottled white walls, black tiles, a Bay like a mirror-like pools, set off the things vicissitudes. Read the fine houses in the village - Chengzhi Hall, I hurry to leave, because a previous doubts, from time to time questioned herself.
From the Hongcun back to Yixian County, or car straight Xidi. I do not know with the previous question, why the dedication to go to Xidi. Or is it in order to complete this trip, or is talking about funding in order to have dinner. Xidi ancestors is about a noble descent - the descendants of the Tang Dynasty Li. In construction and in Hongcun upstart, there are different kind of different. A large number of stone works of the great achievements for the record their past lives. Maybe they think there is only a stone can be long-lasting circulating Unfortunately, only a 13 arch stands in Cuntou. This is related to the village to see the scenery. Into the village street is a large eastward from the west to the river, since it flows so here named Xidi - West to offer. Than the Hongcun Xidi feel small, but something more refined, stone road, stone of the bars and a Vice-couplet, without exception, reflect the first people's dignitaries and culture. In Xidi to hear more Hanchuang 10 set, fame story. Each one couplet after our predecessors were entrusted with the cultural heritage for future generations. I would like to note that all of the couplets to give ourselves a bit more some insights. Of course, there are number of sites are also found Hongcun Xidi copied from couplets to go on Hongcun further bad impression. Small Xidi I traveled for nearly two hours and I hope my thoughts can be more clearly under the guidance of their predecessors, more sensitive!
