Longchang Yunding Village - Xiaojiabiyu hidden in the boudoir

Why is it said that Yunding Village is Xiaojiabiyu hidden in the boudoir?

Let’s first talk about the location of Yunding Village - Yunding Mountain. Yunding Mountain is the remnant of Daba Mountain. It starts from Rongchang in the east and ends at Fushun in the west. It is only more than 180 miles away. Yunding Village happens to be located in the middle of Yunding Mountain. It is the boundary between Lu County and Longchang. Standing on the top of Yundingzhai Mountain, looking south through the gaps in the pine forest, you can see the residential houses in the ravines of Luxian County.

When we took a taxi from Longchang City to Yundingzhai, we were rushing towards the "thousand-year-old castle, the ten thousand-dan rent-collecting courtyard, the miniature landscape of the village courtyard with a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, and the living fossils of folk culture", the two major ancient castles in the country. Come from one of the villages. But the driver told us very incomprehensively: There is nothing there, just a pile of rocks, and no one goes there. You may not be able to get a taxi when you come back. Listening to the driver's words, I thought it must be a secluded place with few tourists, and it was just the right time to savor this beautiful little girl in a boudoir.

Yunding Village has been built three times. First, Guo Mengsi selected the site for the Guo family in Yundingzhai. In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Guo Mengsi entered Sichuan from Macheng, Hubei Province and walked to Yunding Mountain during the "Huguang Reclamation" tide. The basket he was carrying accidentally rolled down the mountain. Guo Mengsi saw that the surrounding scenery was not bad, so he planted fields and settled down. The Guo family began to multiply in Yunding Mountain. Next, in the ninth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, Guo Renyong, the seventeenth generation of the Guo family, determined the defense function of Yundingzhai as a military castle. At that time, Li Yonghe and Lan Dashun, the leaders of the anti-Qing peasant rebels, revolted in Yunnan. They invaded Sichuan with great momentum and many cities were captured. Under this situation, Guo Renyong, in order to save his family and family, bought the entire Yunding Mountain, recruited migrant workers, and spent more than 20,000 taels of silver to demolish the original rocks and use stone strips to build the village wall and gate. It is widened like a city gate. After it is completed, it will be defended by villagers, and the tribesmen, relatives and friends can take refuge and move there. The third time was in the 20th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Guo Shuchi, the nineteenth generation of the Guo family, upgraded Yunding Village. Guo Shuchi believed that the village was not strong enough and beautiful enough, so he spent a huge sum of money and two or three years to raise the walls, expand the area of ??the walled city, improve preventive measures, and build the largest manor-style village in southern Sichuan at that time.

We got off the bus in front of the wooden gate of Yunding Field.

There is a large stage next to it. Looking at the exquisite carvings, the former glory of Yunding Village can be seen.

Entering the gate of Yundingchang, you will see a bluestone paved street. The once prosperous street has long been replaced by dilapidation. There are no open houses and no tourists. Walking on this Longlu Ancient Road, in addition to seeing the open door of Yundingzhai Village Committee, I also saw this old man sitting at the door. This street is really not long, but the old man told me that the crop field at the end is the boundary of Lu County. . This is "Longchang" and the other is "Luxian". It's really appropriate to have two counties in one place.

Directly opposite the entrance of the village committee is another street. This "horse racing road" is connected to the village. There are only two streets in Yundingchang, forming a "D" shape. This street is relatively lively. This is a drug store. Looking at the old objects inside, they are all genuine products from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. They are not imitations. It is worth the trip to see these!

Only here can we touch the ancient plaque.

The beautiful sister is addicted to the store.

This door with several signs hanging on it looks very luxurious. We asked the owner for permission to enter and visit. When I walked in, I really felt the wealth of Yunding Ancient Village.

There is a plaque reading "Supreme Coolness" at the entrance door. Looking at the wooden carvings below, it really makes you jaw-dropping.

When you open the window in the hall, you can see the courtyard downstairs. Everywhere reveals the wealth and elegance of the owner of the house.

In the living room downstairs, my sister who was traveling with me enjoyed a prosperous life.

The stone table under the patio

There is also a lady's sedan chair downstairs. Looking at the exquisite wood carvings around it, it makes me feel bad!

There is a small door next to it, which leads to the fields outside.

Walking out of Lanzhai, not far across the road is Yunding Temple. I really agree with this sentence: "Yunding Village on Yunding Mountain, Yunding Village next to Yunding Village, and Yunding Temple in Yunding Village"! It's just that the new coloring is really not flattering. It's not as good as before.

Look at this quiet stone road, which is a short road connecting Yundingchang and Yundingzhai. Only then did I understand why it was called "Horse Race Track".

After passing the horse racing track, the village gate on the right is "Tongyong Gate" (it is said to lead directly to Yongchuan). Have you also experienced the power of the "thousand-year-old castle"?

Let today’s sunshine pass through the thousand-year-old ancient castle and leave behind the beautiful shadow of my beautiful sister.

Walking into "Tongyongmen", it is the Guo Liangshan Immigration Museum. Why is it called this name? Please let your friends know.

The door frames are all made of stone. The owner originally wanted his manor to be strong enough to be passed down for generations. However, it is said that the damage to Yunding Village was particularly serious in the 1970s, and it has become the ruins it is now. We can only start from Look for traces of history in these ruins.

The Qingshizhai stele in front of the door is well preserved.

After paying a 5 yuan ticket to enter the room, I was so impressed by the exquisite furniture of the Guo family that I didn’t dare to blink. Looking at this bed, let alone the carvings, the bed and the chair are integrated. Under the chair are cabinets, called "gold cabinets" and "silver cabinets." We sit directly on the bed. It is said that some beds even have toilets, which is really thought of by the owner.

The gilt bedside is also accompanied by a picture of a beautiful woman, which is really elegant and popular.

The beautiful sister was very surprised when she looked at the nanmu pillars.

After seeing it, turn right when you go out and continue walking along the bluestone road.

Green bamboos block out the sky and the sun, leaving behind shady bluestone paths.

Arrive at Longchang Yunding Village Folk Museum. It is said that this is the yard of the owner of the village. Unfortunately, the gate is not open, so we can only continue to move forward with regret.

The trees full of oranges cover the tiles of the ancient houses. It has been a novel experience for us northerners.

Here are Ruyi Pond and Luohong Bridge. Look at these two ducks facing the bridge. Isn’t it so picturesque?

This five-hole stone bridge is simple and elegant, and beautiful sisters will not let it go.

It was past noon, and there was only one house facing the Ruyi Pond where you could eat. There was an elder sister in the house. When she heard that we wanted to eat, she specially called her son who was playing cards at a neighbor's house to come back and cook food for us. The fried bacon we had here was so delicious that none of us have tasted better than this one.

After eating and drinking, we continued walking up. We reached the top of the mountain, took a look at the direction of Lu County, and then turned back.

On our way down the mountain, we could vaguely see the fertile mulberry fields of Longchang.

Back at Yunding Field, old people were playing mahjong on the street, and old ladies were doing their jobs. Life was peaceful and peaceful.

Yunding Market still retains a strange and mysterious "morning market" custom. During the market-going period on the third, sixth and ninth day of the lunar calendar, it is also called "ghost market". When Yunding Village was at its peak, at three or four o'clock in the morning, lanterns and torches from distant mountains and ridges came one after another along the forest trails. The streets and eaves were also brightly lit. Buyers and sellers were bargaining, hosts and guests were arguing, and there was a lot of noise. It was heard all the time, and at about six or seven o'clock in the morning, people walked out and the place disappeared. Although the custom is still there, the number of people coming to the market now is the same as the people in the village, very few.

There are really few tourists coming to Yundingzhai, so we really couldn’t get a return car. We came to the village committee. This village committee consists of only three people but manages the entire Yunding Village. The secretary learned of our difficulties and helped us call a car from the town. Ancient village, simple villagers. This jasper hidden deep in the mountains allows people to pick out the essence of southern Sichuan culture among the bluestone slabs and dilapidated wooden houses.

This is a great place to visit.
