Hsu Tang-mode Water Street along the West Lake Don module is a narrow strip of water repair villages, known as the outlet of the culture model is the emblem of one representative of the concept of feng shui, this evaluation Although there is no mistake, there is exaggerated. As we passed many villages are all inextricably linked with water, and Tang model of the water is not the most.
Most villages in Huizhou Yishanbangshui built, not only to take beautiful landscape and topography of feng shui, but also because the lives of the villagers is closely related with water. Village People washing clothes in the river supplies and so on, murmuring dies mid-summer where the flow is the best temperature regulators, water, fire and discharges also assumes the important functions of the village water: Emblem people think that water that is money, and therefore the construction of the Central are there is an open courtyard, take four water-in-one, money is not intended to drain the rain and the courtyard of income, lower berth quartzite, through the gap into the water underground, and with the river interlinked. The Huizhou villages are maintained bluestone pavement, chunks of slab on a solid surface, with small cobbled out of beautiful patterns, the gap between stone is the best drainage system, rain after midnight, the entire village is not there will be a muddy land.
Tang mold slightly muddy waterways, not like other villages in the water are clear bottoming out. The central village of Water Street corridor down, they should not have fun. It is worth mentioning that there are a "small lake" - Tan Dry Garden. Tang mold a gathering place for the Hsu is also a rich hometown. Hsu, mother of the early Qing merchants eager to enjoy the beautiful West Lake, but the old and infirm and unable to withstand the pain of travel, they spend huge sums of money dutiful son digging in the village pond water, the construction of a pavilion Chinese Room, Bauhinia trees planted Tan, imitating the West Lake in the village built a garden, and taking "Book of Songs cutting Tan" in a poem called "Tan Dry Garden", a time to become a model of filial piety. Although the new garden repair, the loss of the rhyme, but afar the past, exquisite scenery reflection in calm water, magic moment really is hard to tell, while some appeal of Island.
Qiankou Huishang Yun Jin Tibet jade qiankou travel value is not like other villages, the village building is new, but adopt an original approach to the well-preserved houses surrounding prefectures moved intact come together to show more like a museum of Huizhou architecture. Accompanied by friends whom the sight of such a very deliberate disdain, he would rather climb a mountain lake, do not want to watch this little man into the garden. I'd immense interest as a person ran into it.
Here are 10 Zhaizai representative, Ming and Qing dynasties, from the ordinary to the Huizhou merchants mansion houses the official residence as well as local administrative officials, have demonstrated, there are side arch and a large imperial ancestral temple, and even moved an amendment of the nuns donated bridges. Can be seen to build gardens and who wish to set Huizhou architectural essence here's good intention.
Within walking distance to a Zhaizi ago, I first constructed on the inside had some ideas, because the first few stations have not entered into the emblem of home, so the front of this wall really no concept of building cornices. It seems from the outside, the house is quite Huizhou region style: the pink brick Daiwa, handsome and elegant. The white outer wall of tall upright, there is more to the front gate of a big beautiful brick, stone gates on both sides of a detailed, both with the inside of the wood and said Huizhou Ruin; Zhaizi side is often a patchwork of horse repair walls, On the one hand to prevent the fire bring disaster to the neighborhood, but also emblems of people have been given a "five mountains overturned," the good wishes.
This is a business house, step on a step on the emblem into the somewhat mysterious house, business people's houses often only a threshold level, a symbol of the business market, "one step." And I understand that luxury completely different, I can hardly agree that this is the year of the Huizhou merchants rich wealth of expression under heaven: two-step across the hall, across the hall is the parlor, on both sides for the domestic helpers or visitors living room of the center is a courtyard, enclosed on all sides leaving only one side of the eaves is not wide, the sky, and this is where the whole house lighting ventilation. Courtyard at the top there is no masking, the direct sway rain snow falling in the house, the fans of the Huizhou merchants who would be its fiscal understood as the golden bulk silver.
Huizhou Old House inside almost all wooden and over five hundred years, has long lost its vivid colors, dark brown wood for patio cast light also become bleak. Turned to the central hall of the wall, there is a very narrow staircase, stepping across the top, echo hollow, on the second floor is often the children, especially the woman's boudoir, a very fine carved lattice windows, near the courtyard Office also available for open repair are people relying on , I was feeling the cozy, the rise around, and suddenly discovered that, no matter which direction I look, in addition to the courtyard at the top of the empty blue sky, impossible to cross the line of sight housing wall, the room did not open out of the window, even if there are is very small, the original long peddler who is one such outstanding businessmen bind detention home his wife and daughter. This makes me feel uncomfortably cramped.
Turn, came downstairs, I have a closer look forward to the central hall of the Tang wall hanging scroll, is a portrait of this ancestral Kodo: simple lines, colors old, portraits of people dressed in cumbersome attire, sat, steady eyes revealed earnest look forward to posterity, but when such attention in a quiet afternoon and I met, I feel very strange. Between light and dark flashes, I would appreciate those who attend to and then carved arches, QT, trotted away.
Several other buildings Zhaizi also similar, but more for the three steps of the residence, the door on a brick house with business is also different from a number of business people often carved scenes of the war, a symbol of shopping malls, such as the battlefield, while the official residence of the brick is often give up studying in other scenes. Official residence of the threshold is also higher, with instrument, after entering the door, which is a symbolic door, both sides can access. The sun does not always open, every family event was open; if officials to visit the official higher than they can do the doors, officials of lower rank can only take the side door. Really should be reflected everywhere in the construction of the Huizhou ritual view.
After seeing several luxury homes and a second rank after the Zhaizi, I have deeper doubts: This house is really narrow and dark Huizhou merchants as rich as their family home? When southern officials in the beautiful paradise of the pavilion erected in the splendid Chinese Room, when the Jin Dynasty to Regal in the vast jinzhong since the original construction of the grand family castle, they are not always so cramped small luxury?
It turned out that the emblem of the emergence since the Ming Dynasty were forced to strictly abide by the Ming Dynasty "no more than" system of laws, government officials and the commoner residence are detailed style house requirements; coupled with Huizhou small and densely populated, but also makes the impossible here, Jing Sheng Wang, Shanxi, as there is a family of people a magnificent city of a huge mountain system. Therefore, the Huizhou merchants extravagant is introverted is fine, all the evidence is that they rely on sustenance of the wooden floor. Lu village, we visited the seven Mulou Romer, the owner of that room between the two-story house made from boxwood constructed, and the entire building can be seen everywhere portray subtle life-like sculpture. Want to know Boxwood expensive than gold, while in Lu's residence, even the kitchen door is carved West Wing and the Eight Immortals of boxwood. Huizhou merchants of the rich, can glimpse evident.
