Which is more fun in Wuyuan ancient village? Which is the best in Wuyuan ancient village?

Wuyuan is located in Jiangxi province, which was previously classified as Huizhou. For many people, this is a fantastic place, and it is called the most beautiful village in China. There are many well-preserved ancient villages here. Here, I want to share with you some interesting ancient villages in Wuyuan.

Go to Wuyuan (painter town to Wuyuan county)

After a long time, I will still think of a village I met on the road, which is only a dozen kilometers away from Wuyuan County. The houses in the village are typical Huizhou dwellings, with moss growing on white walls and tiles. I guess they may be decades old, and there should be two or three floors. The gable protruding from the horse head wall also makes the building look taller.

The house is approximately square, and under the brick door is a narrow black-gray wooden door. There are dozens of meters of open space in front of the door. Some people plant fruit trees, others pile firewood. This clearing is also adjacent to the county road, with a small canal about one and a half meters wide in the middle. Floor slab or cement precast slab will be built in front of the door as a bridge for traffic. Several children are playing barefoot in the canal, and a woman is sitting on the slate to wash. The water in the middle passage is very clear and looks very cold. Occasionally, a few leaves float on it. The house surrounded by running water is full of people, including several red carp or crucian carp.

My heart is full of joy, and people feel good when the bridge is flowing, but I seldom see young people. Probably like many villages, they all went to the city to make a living. Do they occasionally think of such a quiet village in a bustling city?

There is a shabby old house in Huizhou by the roadside. There is no horse head wall on one side, and you can see the wooden frame of the house. It is a good side of Huizhou folk houses. The house is a typical bucket-through wooden structure building in the south, which saves wood than the beam-lifting type and is suitable for buildings with little space. Weeds are overgrown and bricks are scattered all over the floor, which seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

I booked a youth hotel online, which is in the north of the county seat and near Xinjiang. This is a two-story duplex building with a top floor. When I came up with my camel bag, there were some college students on vacation in the living room, and they had a good chat. Aunt Hu opened this youth hostel and took me to the attic. There are two old beds of 1.2m in the room. The window faces south and you can see most of the county. A clothes rack was set up on the platform of the attic, and several rectangular flower pots were placed on the ground, which was a bit like mangers.

I rode100km from Qigong Town to Wuyuan County. Although the distance is not far, I also walked in the mountains for a long time. My legs are sore and swollen, and my knees are very painful because of long bending and straightening. Holding the stairs on the wall, I knelt down and threw myself into the street, fearing that my knees would not last for a while.

It's getting dark I'm going out to find something to eat. A bottle of cold beer, a bowl of rice and a plate of fried meat, 25 yuan, are a little expensive. I passed a hotel on my way back. There are several tourist buses parked outside, and a group of middle-aged and elderly people wearing travel agency hats. At this time, I still envy them. After all, traveling alone can be really lonely sometimes.

Likeng scenic spot

At night, the attic is extremely stuffy. I opened the window, opened the door and even used a wet towel to cool down, but I still woke up many times. At dawn, I rode my bike to Likeng Scenic Area, which is more than ten kilometers away. This is the nearest scenic spot from the county seat. Likeng is a national scenic spot and an ancient village named Li. Its architectural features are typical Huizhou architecture, which is integrated with mountains and rivers.

Tickets to 60 yuan are still a little expensive. In fact, the entrance to the scenic spot is the entrance to the village, and you can walk a few hundred meters to Likeng Village. During this period, you have to pass an "ancient bridge", a Buddhist temple and Wenchang Tower, and then pass a piece of Huizhou-style antique building with white walls and tiles to reach the real "Likeng Village".

Likeng Village memorial archway

The so-called ancient bridge is just a newly built small bridge, which was originally the former site of the middle bridge. According to legend, Li Kan, the second ugliest scholar, donated money to build this bridge in the village during the Daguan period of the Song Dynasty. Because his officials are in office, it is called the central bridge. In the Song Dynasty, China calligraphers had no rights, only an empty post. Not far away is a raft boat to attract business, and the boatman sits lazily in the shade to enjoy the cool. The sculpture on the gate of Likeng is relatively simple, and it is also a three-bay room according to common sense. It can be seen at a glance that it was established in recent years to develop tourism. Looking at Wenchang Tower from a distance, I still feel a little old-fashioned. Entering the courtyard where Wenchang Tower is located, I feel bored when I look at the brand-new wooden door. I reached out and touched the pillar, which was made of cement, and I was even more disappointed.

There are few staff in the tower, and there are fortune-telling books of Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams at several counters. It seems that the scenic spot is not very concerned about this antique building that is not in the core scenic spot. Wenchang, which means moire enjoys prosperity and education, is also a star official name. We also call it "Wenquxing". Literati in all previous dynasties had star officials specializing in literary works, and Wenchang Pavilion or Wenchang Tower were found in many places. Wenchang Pavilion used to stand in Ehu Academy, which shows that ancient scholars attached great importance to Wenchang Pavilion and Confucian Temple. It is said that from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there were 100 officials and rich children in Likeng, where they studied firewood, fishing and farming. Nearly 30 books handed down from ancient times were left in the village by China people. Wenchang star's esteem is naturally high, but it's a pity that most people in this world pay little attention to people's talents.

When I passed the Buddhist temple, I didn't see any monks in the temple, only vendors selling incense and tourists worshipping Buddha. This is also a modern antique building, located on the top of the mountain. In front of the core scenic spot, there is a new Huizhou antique building complex, which is an empty commercial street. There are not many shops that have opened. Maybe it was just built.

Walking out of the antique commercial street, turning a corner will be very lively. Suddenly I saw the old Huizhou dwellings, with white walls mottled with black and gray, and the high horse head wall was particularly conspicuous. A small river flowing down from the mountain divides the village into two parts, and the houses are built in turn according to the terrain, which has a good sense of hierarchy, achieving the unity of mountains and rivers and people, in line with the concept of harmony between man and nature that China people have been pursuing.

The development history of Huizhou architecture is closely related to the rise of Huizhou merchants.

Huizhou is located in the mountainous area of southern Anhui. Historically, the population of the Central Plains moved south many times, and some of them settled in Huizhou. They often live in groups, bringing the clan culture of the Central Plains to Huizhou, blending with the local culture and forming a unique Huizhou culture.

However, with the increasing number of immigrants, Huizhou, which was originally mountainous and sparsely populated, could hardly support so many people by farming, so some people had to go out to work and do business to survive, and Huizhou merchants were born.

Huizhou people, who live in clans, naturally regard consanguinity and clans as the capital of doing business. Moreover, fighting hard in different places really needs to be warmed up from the nation. Finally, Huizhou people, Chaozhou merchants and Shanxi merchants are also called the three major business gangs in the history of China.

Their main industries include salt, tea, pawn, timber and so on. They also deal in grain, silk and stationery.

In ancient farming society, it was the established policy of successive dynasties to emphasize agriculture and restrain commerce. According to the order of "scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce", "commerce" is at the bottom.

When Huizhou merchants get rich, they often choose to go back to their hometowns to buy land and return their money and capital to the land. At the same time, they build houses on a large scale, either for death or for future generations, or "if they are rich and don't return home, they always want to go back to their hometown to build houses."

The same is true of Likeng. Every household, especially the houses by the river, opens their doors to the water. The ancients believed that water was also a symbol of wealth. Running water into the village means wealth into the village, but water always flows downwards, so it is necessary to "lock" the running water to prevent wealth from flowing away. The usual practice is to build a small bridge across the water at the downstream of the village entrance, and build a wind and rain corridor on the bridge, which is a visual "lock".

When I first entered the scenic spot, I saw the small bridge, which felt like a Watergate. When I entered the core scenic spot, there was also a Watergate, which should be the original Watergate of Likeng.

Walking on the stone road, the horse-headed walls erected by Huizhou folk houses are arranged layer by layer along the mountain, which is very layered.

The top of the third-level horse head wall is covered with blue tiles, which are shaped like horse hair. From a distance, it looks like a horse galloping between Mazai Mountain. There are many tourists on the road, or in twos and threes, or tourists wearing travel agency hats. Students sketching with sketchboards on their backs have also become scenic spots in the scenic spots. With a little light ink, a gable can be outlined with a few strokes.

The sound of running water was not drowned by the noisy crowd around. When listening quietly, you can still hear the sound of running water hitting round pebbles, like a lovely tongue whispering. Build some slates and put dried vegetables or some whole grains on the bridge. The tourists in the city were obviously surprised by this, and they took out their cameras and kept taking pictures.

There are also several houses being renovated or newly built by the river, with log-colored columns and brick walls mixed with cement. Many ancient architectural techniques have been abandoned. The top floor of some houses is obviously layered with the wall below. The original two or three-story Huizhou houses are added with layers to facilitate better profits. Since the development of tourism in Wuyuan, many ancient villages like Likeng have been illegally rebuilt in the process of operation, which has destroyed the original appearance of many ancient buildings, which is irreversible.
