Wuyuan had heard the most beautiful villages in China, but also heard that she was known as the "mountain rivers and lakes." I saw-off "Jiangnan" in me, always been fascinated with "mountains, rivers and lakes" is what kind of rivers and lakes. So in order to reveal the long-hidden in the mind of this fan, and finally an early autumn weekend, we drove came to Wuyuan.
Wuyuan into a car, they marched in heavy peaks of folded mountains, crevices, are poor mountain road to do when the eyes are suddenly a bright one seat powder wall Daiwa, cornices an opposite corner of the old buildings, row upon row of land lying still on a river on both sides, sunlight to spill in calm warm water, as if to sleep for a thousand years! I do not know which creative visitors to Wuyuan these rich "small bridges people," poetic ancient village known as "mountains, rivers and lakes", a mass 10, 10 pass 100, but still the spread of.
Jiangwan Xiao Hei Tsuen, Wang Hau Village, Da Chuan Xiang Li Hang, which is I am engaged in one of three "mountains, rivers and lakes," the name, although the left Wuyuan has been for some time, but they still clearly apparent in my eyes. The mood of rivers and lakes that I can not in the other Yangtze River Delta to the feel. Jiangnan Water carving delicate beauty, while the beauty of rivers and lakes mountains Wuyuan different trace rugged beauty and simplicity.
The ancient village has a thousand great history. Ancestor of the village that year, mostly from war-torn upheaval move south from the Central Plains, the site settled, probably need to consider three factors: First, to be able to avoid the scourge of war, it chose the mysterious mountain nest; The second is to back Mountain linshui , both reflects environment Everyday, but also for irrigation and washing of it, Linshuei open, conducive to sunlight, the tall mountain at its back, Kedang cold. Third is to have Pingchou land available for cultivation. "Mountains, rivers and lakes" will so formed. As regards the location followed the same time, the theories of ancient geomancy, pay attention to "choose Kyrgyzstan door," most of the construction layout of the "Heaven and Man" as the basic train of thought, generally there are rivers and mountains as a natural barrier to facilitate the survival, development and propagation.
Wandering about in these ancient villages, you can find some common features. Each village has a forest refuge outlet villages, windshield cover sand, but also conservation of water for the downstream villages. Xiao Li is also from the village, such as "nutritious River Monument." The village roads, sewer systems are scientific, and orderly. Building construction in the open courtyard to facilitate ventilation, lighting. Do not paint all wooden structures, which will help distribute moisture. The ancients Although there is no "eco-science", but everywhere people are protecting the environment, the use of the environment, and environmental harmony and intuitive consciousness is performed so strongly. The ancient village Wuyuan let me know what it meant to "Heaven and Man," the realm! These ancient village known as the "ecological civilization, emeralds," is worthy of the name.
These "mountains, rivers and lakes," the ancient village, or an art museum park buildings. Village of the Ming and Qing architectural style, their own characteristics, whether it is the residence, homes or businesses as large as the overall layout, small wood carvings, stone carvings, brick carvings, can be when the get to "nature's intricate, exquisite," eight words. Xiao Hei Tsuen, such as the "jinshi first", "doctor first" and other official residence, Wang Hau Tsuen, "Yu Ancestral Hall" was China's ancient architecture expert described as "treasure house of architectural art," Wuyuan be called the most ancient architectural art, science Wuyuan Village is the official residence of the most typical group of Ming and Qing Dynasties. About these ancient villages, just as dust of history pushed open a door.
In the "mountains, rivers and lakes," a village in the walk through, straight into the history, people have a sense of black and white ink. Apart from the beautiful visit to Cuba, I am puzzled that the planning was so scientific, so delicate build, manage to be so orderly and ancient villages in the feudal era, is What sorts of organizational strength to rule it? At that time could be no "production team", "village" ah! To listen to the girl guides the introduction, they would understand, the original is the family system to maintain the Ming and Qing dynasties of the rural society. Witness the clan system, the building remains preserved in an ancient village in a lot, such as ancestral halls, the Office of housing, the stage and so on. Mouth, such as Wang's "Yu Ancestral Hall" until now to save the custom of worship.
Enigmatic "mountain rivers and lakes," is full of infinite charm and temptation is no wonder that a photographer a tour of Wuyuan "mountains, rivers and lakes" ancient villages, the big hair, laments: "Five Sacred Mountains Guilaibukan mountains, Jiuzhai Guilaibukan water, Wuyuan return do not look at the village!
