Ancient Huizhou Prefecture, located in southern Anhui, Huangshan now, Qi Yun (Baiyue), with with the current parts of the northern part of Jiangxi Province. Huangshan clouds shrouded the north, south Tianmushan mountainous stretch, Creek confrontation, light sails Cuifeng, beads decorate the village, described as "confrontation Baiyue Huangshan, Jiangnan A beautiful scenery.", Especially powder wall, Daiwa, Ma Tau wall architectural style, in exactly the same throughout the Huizhou region, people intuitively feel the Ming and Qing Dynasty government and six counties in Huizhou a common feature of folk customs, also I went to explore the ancient emblem of the Southern Middle Kingdom to visit secluded in mind.
Huizhou a foot of land, the whole verdant trees, set off a crowded horse written for the wall and unique style, Huizhou houses set off the Shuiguang natural scenery, as if pale with dry pen ink sketch of the school of the village of Shu-Shu-Han Chinese landscape painting . Fresh wild Yat pastoral scenery so first time I saw Yi (sound "clothing") County, Xidi, they deeply appreciate the mountain's share of Tao Yuan-ming Hermitage calm. . . . . .
Utopia Village people - Xidi Xidi, the highest in Yixian County, Huangshan City, a town eight kilometers east. From the train station to spend seven Tunxi money to a fork in the road ride to Yixian County, Xidi light buses, 2 Qian Dao Cunkou can see the high standing of the Wu-ray arch. Xidi the area was west of the ancient Huizhou government has set up Inn, "delivered by the shop" and named. Two streams from the east to west to wear the village before, and Jixi Hu (that is, one owned Hu) Hu Xidi clan's ancestor on a fancy piece of basin streams against the east to west, that the non-trivial place, compliance "in the division," pointing, the whole village imitation boat-shaped construction, making the civilians "by the water, westbound, was fabulous as, take Scriptures, thereby down big hair" was intended. Throughout the history of the village, Xidi soul of the land is indeed outstanding personality, the whole village into the career total of 115 people, intrinsic, kung, supervisor of Health as many as 300 people, the Prime Minister Hu Jing Fan Ming-ray, the second rank, Hu Qing Shang gifts, novelty Hu Guan 3 collectors Hu Ji-tang are from this village, as well as in the "bus a letter to" the signature into the strategy of the three lifts, (Anhui only 8 people) have is that this secluded village of Montreal's Jacques toddlers crawling chaos. , One of six super-rich south, Hu Guan 3, in the Yangtze River in the vicinity of major commercial port operates in dozens of pawn shops and a banking house, the number of 1.002 million silver off of assets. Poly-clan of the Xidi village Hu Guan three times tend to zenith. So far, the village is still left more than 300 residential buildings in Ming and Qing, retaining intact as much as 124. White powder wall is mainly to prevent water erosion, with the Dai Qing's mandarin duck-watt, flying pick of the Yan Jiao, high animal ridge brackets, Stretching with a history of breeding habitat scroll clan. Stacked five high and low scattered horse wall, with its ups and downs of cadence changes, reflecting the unique charm of the houses in southern Anhui. The initial role of the horse is just bank up a fire wall, gable, to prevent the fire bring disaster to their own neighbors, has considerable practical. But later, it became a decorative, folk known as the "five mountains overturned." In the face value of 30 minutes of "vernacular" stamp can be an intuitive understanding of this architecture.
And the "five mountains overturned," adding that "four water owned by Church" is also one of the main features of Huizhou architecture: Old houses make more use of the courtyard as the center, surrounded by high walls and enclosure, only to narrow courtyard lighting, ventilation, exterior walls are small window, even though there was also sentenced to forty to fifty centimeters high a little small window as a decoration, so the total gives us a dark blurred feeling. According to the locals say, in addition to security, there are "dark room making money" and pay attention. The former is clearly business related and Huizhou men to go out, and the latter derived from the ancient concept of feng shui.
The Xidi village, almost every household has a unique character of commercial doors, from the modeling point of view almost a "commercial" character, in addition to the Husband any of the above seven items and entering a hallway of people, must from the "business" under the word , this is about for living in the "business end of home Simin," "re-farming restrain business" merchant of that era to make a verbal Wu Qi.
In my opinion the village when the number of the most sultry, West Park, in which a called "three friends of winter" stone leaking window. At right is the left turquoise Zhu-mei plans, integrating with, "Yao Ding Aoyama do not relax, Samuume sparse bamboo were romantic" in Italy, crafted exquisite, composition fresh, be called the ancient stone Xidi Acura, the Japanese are said to have a 10 million dollars and not.
Wood carvings, stone carvings, brick carvings for the emblem carved Ruin. Greeted the largest number of large and small antiquities shop is the carved wooden window frames, door panels, QT. Ancient architecture building blocks have become the antiquities shops of goods, several hundred dollars or even tens of dollars on old Wang Tang-Chou Hsieh will be able to buy a pair of inverted lie prostrate before the lion of the QT, an ebony painted gold Baxianguohai partitions. . . . . . You can not blame the villagers can use money to measure the trafficking of those far from the value of art treasures, because you do not understand is that they have tried to trade in the form of preserved culture awakens, or accelerated the old house represents the kind of history of sedimentary The dismembered broken.
Second, the film's killer - Hongcun Xidi out after the rented car with a few visitors, each 35 yuan, Guo Yixian County near the county seat went to the hongcun. In fact, the ancient villages in Huizhou desire originated in the earliest photographs frequently appear in hongcun. The crescent shape of a semi-monthly Tong, entrance to the village built in imitation of the South Lake West Lake in Hangzhou, every household in front of the green water flow. . . . . . Photographer's lens many times in freeze-frame into a huge temptation. Gang Dao Cunkou, South Lake is just like a child lying on the Yu-yi, lying on the Department of Castle Peak towering between the lakeside villages, South Lake College, mist flower Yanshu reflection in the lake like a mirror gone, as the Qing Dynasty, Wang Yuan-rui says: "South Lake 1 flooding glass, bell Liu ten-mile outside the embankment. " Heart will be also with the sound of distant barking, playfulness voice gently vibrate.
Qu shui unimpeded introduction of the ancient Puya Jie my village, people can not help to have a safe and stable home, and even the air in the cow dung smell drifting occasionally make me happy.
To find a private restaurant and hotels, both new buildings a century tenements there for people to choose. I picked the tenements of the courtyard in a room of old dark during the day and had to turn on the lights. Just a light, such as cover, will be complicated and I soaked wood pane into one, and cut themselves off from the outside world.
To lay down their bags, eager to actively look for the village Sheng Ji. I have one called "De-yi tong" small courtyards to see beauty through. "Beauty depends" is a kind of building elements frequently appear in Huizhou architecture, used for Xiulou, the pool Fuchibe. The ancient woman in this busy Yilan dry, or the provisional waves or lean on a railing, Gu Ying Sze or on silent or peeping downstairs, past the young talented people. . . . . . However, the name of this beautiful loneliness gradually evolved into a synonym for isolated clear. Way back when Huizhou merchants became well-known quartet, and their wives are jealously guarding his home in the courtyard, just sit and look at mandarin ducks playing in the water pool, carp paired.
After dinner, go through months of residual light pond. On the night of the pond and the sun glitters prettily and looks like Yan decidedly different. Children will be on the cold water in the pond and water next to the houses are Ruran get some chilly. Pond to the washing of the people, break the silence of water and night, buzzing sound of water echoed in the month over the pond. Think about it, is that this side of the reservoir mapping a few hundred years ago that a month, or that one shining for hundreds of years on this side of the reservoir? I replied no, I can only sure that hundreds of years have witnessed "Month dyed on pond" in that the person replaced me.
The whole dark night, lights hidden in the walls, I can only store along the water back to the dark sound of the door, looked back and the dark alleys, really want to move a chair and point a light for those of late people, but also for those who do not return people.
Early morning or late starting with the store's visitors have to go out into making their films. I got caught by my boss to resist cold dawn jacket - the kind Duijin satin jacket, very very Yan Yan's pink - went to the South Lake. Water passing through Hongcun stone along the stream to which the ancients Waqu water, Oh, lake painting, film scenes, people have a lot.
Center embankment walk from the lake, the lake side ring for a while, Oh, I was shooting into the lens. Was originally my clothes are too bright, in the lake to form a beautiful reflection, I thought. . . . . .
Holding a camera, there is no need to consider a lot of composition, for very simple one is the ideal picture. A moment later, declared the end of two rolls of film.
Third, wood floor, wood when the sun fully glimpsed, I have to live yesterday together with the three scholars to Lu Village, Nanping.
Lu village, there are blocks of wood floor, first time I saw Miss, when even the guide said, was "seven craftsmen spent three years to complete" or "three craftsmen spent seven years time," no legislation can hear clearly there dumbfounded. Any word can not express shock at the time, exactly one floor ah, windows and doors are all carved eaves beams and railings tailgate full birds, flowers, fishes and insects can be livestock were picturesque landscape allusions. At this time, a few wood-boring bees buzzing cried, little bit of wood going against the golden light, the dark wood background Qing Wu falling, constitutes a film in any camera is a wonderful moment is not down. Counterparts to the female of a Chinese painting, Mr. exclaims: "You are all here, the great fascination with wood呀!" I listened to almost tears.
That day, I wear a specially pink trim Black Lands of Duijin T-shirt, a pair of flower earrings, but many run into engaging in creative portraits of older artists, so through the background of China and the United States, I had an obligation to act as models, In that environment, do not have to put any position, every move up a natural elegance. And I have the reward is: As a former curator with the old gentleman, as long as he can say look at the touch of heritage dynasties, only in Lu Village, we saw the four ornamental engraving Song Ding ware porcelain stool, the Ming dynasty carved ginkgo Muta, chairs, blue and white Kangxi-year period and a pair of rare incense burner keeps the high stone stool. And the other a construction expert, Mr. and photography enthusiasts, will charm and Huizhou architectural photography 11 years, so I have great long exposure.
Village not far from Lu Nanping, but it is in this film because of the Zhang Yimou of "Ju Dou," after the famous overseas, confusion winding alleyways and dignity of a solemn shrine is its hallmark. Because of the time, visited the play of the Yang dye, we hurriedly left the Nan-ping.
Special Note:
Huizhou is similar to the antique flavor of this place, the best dressed in Chinese costumes, even on legacy also appreciate rhyme adds fun to take pictures;
Conditions as far as possible not to participate in tours, and now most easily accessible scenic areas, with the intention of the tour experience than cursory view of the back, if you want to understand allusions, customs, we might look at the prior inspection or to buy some to go home.
As far as possible to avoid 51, 11 such a public holiday, or just watch others can not look at scenery, but 15 dollars to spend 100 yuan beds may not necessarily live on.
