Zhejiang Zouma, 7. Furong Ancient Village, nanxi river

Furong village is next to Yantou Town, to the south of Yantou Town.

I took this scenic bus from Cangpo Village and returned to Yantou Town to reach the finish line. If you want to continue to take the suburban bus to Furong Ancient Village, you must wait for the next suburban bus at the station. But it's not far to walk to Furong Ancient Village. In addition, there is a farmer's market next to the station, so you can visit the market by the way.

When I entered the market gate, I saw a big advertisement saying that the brocade jiaozi in Yantou Town was delicious and famous. And it can not only be eaten on site, but also delivered in cold chain.

Look again, there are indeed many shops that make and sell brocade in jiaozi. Although I am not hungry at this time, it seems necessary to have a taste. I found a shop at random, sat down and ordered ten brocade dumplings. One dollar and fifty cents each.

After a while, lift it up. At first glance, it looks no different from jiaozi, a local potato noodle in Inner Mongolia, but it is made of translucent dumpling skin.

Chatting with the store, I know that this brocade powder jiaozi is indeed a specialty of Yantou Town. Dumpling skin is mashed steamed sweet potatoes, mixed with sweet potato powder, made into soft dough, and then made into the shape of dumpling skin. The stuffing is mainly a local radish, minced meat, fresh bamboo shoots and tofu. After wrapping, you can steam in the pot. When eating, add some spices such as hot sauce, which is soft and delicious, chewy and has a unique flavor. No wonder, foreign tourists who come here should buy more and send them home in the cold chain.

Out of this farmer's market, not far to the south, is the bus station that Yantou Town sends to Shijianyan and other scenic spots. Next to this station is Furong Ancient Village.

In the parking lot, I found a bus with "Shiyan" written on the front window and asked the station staff that the latest bus to Shiyan was eleven forty.

Looked at the time, it's not half past ten. By the way, he asked, "How to get to the entrance of furong village Village?"

The staff at the station raised their hands and pointed me in the direction, then said, "The ticket to furong village is 20 yuan. You might as well give me ten dollars and I'll take you in. "

I smiled: "Thank you! I just want to walk around. " Say and walked in the opposite direction to the ancient village of Furong.

I just came from Cangpo Ancient Village. I know that the edge of the village is full of farmland, and every ridge is the road to the village.

Walking through a vegetable field, I saw a low wall made of pebbles, decadent and mottled, and the wall was covered with weeds. Behind this low wall, it should be furong village.

Go through the shabby doorway in the low wall, walk the streets of furong village, sit around and watch the clap. Seeing that the battery of my mobile phone was almost gone, and the time was nearly 1 1 30, I plugged my mobile phone into the mobile power supply, took a few steps, left the village from the main entrance, found the bus to Shizhiyan, got on the bus and sat down.

The scale of Furong Ancient Village is similar to that of Cangpo Ancient Village, and it is also roughly square. But the overall layout of streets, canals and houses in furong village is seven stars and eight fights. This is quite different from the layout of Four Treasures of the Study in Cangpo Village.

The layout of Four Treasures of the Study in Cangpo Village is easy to understand. There is an east-west pen street in the village, where the ground is paper, the pool is inkstone, and the stone next to the pool is ink. And furong village's seven stars and eight fights, hehe, to tell the truth, I have seen it many times on the spot, and I have asked Du Niang many times when I came back, but I haven't understood it yet. Some people say that the star points the way and the bucket points to the pool. So, seven stars and eight fights, isn't there seven roads and eight pools in the village? I have seen it on the spot, but I dare not say that there are more than eight roads in furong village. It is also said that the stars refer to the platforms at road intersections; Bucket refers to the pond where the canal meets. Ha ha! There are more than seven places where roads meet in furong village.

Generally speaking, furong village is richer than Cangpo Village. First of all, the gate in furong village is higher than that in Cangpo Village. Furong village East Gate is the main entrance, which was built in the Yuan Dynasty and is a two-story pavilion building.

Entering the village entrance, it is more than 200 meters long Changtang Street, also called Ruyi Street, which is the main street in furong village. This Ruyi Street, in particular, is paved with blue bricks and has a stone edge. Other roads in this village, like Cangpo Village, are paved with pebbles.

There are Furong Pool and Furong Pavilion in the middle of Ruyi Street. Square pool, with two pavilions in the middle, and stone bridges on both sides of the pavilion leading to the shore of the pond.

It is said that every evening, there will be reflections of the three hills of Furong behind the village in the lotus pond. I stood on the edge of the lotus pond and studied it carefully for a long time. I can really see the three lotus mountains in the distance, but it seems impossible for the reflection to appear in such a distant pond.

Three hibiscus mountains are three peaks side by side, like three hibiscus flowers. In particular, the morning glow is reflected on the peaks, and the three peaks show red and white colors, like a blooming hibiscus flower. So the village under Furong Peak was named furong village. Moreover, pavilions and ponds are also named after hibiscus. Even the schools in the village are called Furong Academy.

Furong village is a consanguineous village living with Chen. All public buildings and private houses are located on both sides of Changtang Street. Upon entering the village entrance, the Chen Mansion on the right side of Changtang Street is the most important public building in this village. Compared with the ancestral temple in Cangpo Village, Chen Dazong of furong village also won. It is said that the stage in the ancestral hall, the couplets on the stage are "considerable" and the couplets on the pillars of the stage are "not real or empty, but empty of the original meaning; Needless to say, the performance is true or false. As for the exquisite woodcut of the beams, arches and hanging columns on the stage, it is several times higher than the stage in Cangpo Village.

Also, in this village, there is a national hero, Chen.

According to Chen's genealogy, furong village's ancestors moved from Kaifeng, Henan Province to Yongjia in the late Tang Dynasty, so the history of furong village has been 1 100 years. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen led his troops against the Yuan Army and died in battle. Furong village was also set on fire by the Yuan Army. Later, at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, furong village gradually recovered and began to rebuild its homeland. The present layout of the seven stars and eight fights was left at that time. There is a memorial hall dedicated to Chen in Chen's building.

The most important building in the village, besides the ancestral hall, is the math hall. The school in furong village is called Nanxi Academy, also called Furong Academy, also called Mingluntang. It seems that the school in Cangpo Village is also called Nanxi Academy. A village-level school dares to take the name of such a tall college, which shows the confidence of villagers to study here.

In ancient times, furong village's farming and reading culture was very prosperous, and there were many literati. Today, next to Chen's golden dragon plate in bulk, there is also a champion plaque. It is said that in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was not far from the capital, and eighteen people in the village were officials at the same time. At that time, it was called "Eighteen Golden Belts". You said, if it hurts, it doesn't hurt?

There is a quiet small courtyard, with winding cobblestone roads, dense autumn grass, wooden porch with tiles, old trees beside the porch, mottled short walls and bamboo outside the wall, which makes people wonder what will happen tonight.

Sitting back in the chair next to Muxuan, my thoughts were blurred, and Tang Xianzu, Peony Pavilion, Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang came to mind. ...

"The original colorful, like this are paid to the broken well. When is the beautiful scenery, who is happy? " Accompanied by Du Liniang's sigh, I heard the voice of babbling: "Occasionally, my heart is like a bun, beside the plum tree, as if flowers and plants are loved by people, and life and death follow people's wishes, so no one complains, and it is sour and clear. When you are beaten, it will be fragrant, it will be sunny after rain, and you will meet Megan. "

Unfortunately, the old tree in this yard is not a plum tree; Xiaomuxuan is not a peony pavilion; At this time of the season, it doesn't rain, which is beautiful. Even if I have a heart like Liu Mengmei, dig a grave and hold Du Liniang tight, and watch the humble splendor of "flying to dusk, clouds and pavilions, rain and wind, smoke and waves painting boats" together, I can only say that "people are easy to get old, things are inconvenient, dreams are hard to grow, a little affectionate, three points are shallow, and half are condensed ..."

Out of school, I wandered around the village and found the general's home.

The general mansion was built in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty. Because it is the former residence of Chen, the chief of staff of the Fifth Army of the Kuomintang, it is named General House. At the entrance of the general's house is a double-eaved, rest-hill roof decorated with kissing phoenix, exquisite brick carving and a pair of couplets made of bluestone: "courtesy, door, righteousness and family rules;" Ancient paintings of Renshan Mountain in Zhishui. " The horizontal approval is: "Chinese New Year, congratulations".

In the spacious yard, an old man with a wooden expression saw me peeking outside the door, so he invited me into the yard and opened the door of a room, saying that this room was the place where Chen was born.

When I entered the room, I saw many photos hanging on the wall of the wooden house, including Chen's painted single photo and Chen's photos with his relatives. There is a bed in it, the old man said, and Chen was born on this bed.

Take a look, there is nothing to see. Chen is not a very famous figure. China doesn't know how many major generals of the Republic of China are like him.

Turn around and want to go out. The old man grabbed my clothes and looked at me expectantly. At the same time, he held out two fingers to me: "Two yuan."

Oh! It suddenly dawned on me that there is a charge for visiting people's former residences. I quickly took out five yuan and handed it to the old man.

The old man fumbled for his clothes and gave me change.

"Keep the change." Say that finish, fled the general's residence.

There is also a famous building in furong village called Sima Di. This is a mansion built by local wealthy businessmen during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. But why should a businessman's home be named Sima Yi? Perhaps the ancestor of this businessman was once a big official like Sima.

When I went to see it, only the wall and gate of Sima Yi were intact, and the buildings inside were burned down. Look at the wooden pillars piled in the yard. They are burnt to black charcoal. It seems relatively fresh. It should be a fire that passed not long ago. After reading it, I can't tell what it tastes like.

It's already 1 1 40, but I'm the only passenger on this train bound for Shijiazhuang.

Driver, master, get on the bus and set off. Pulled his car all the way to the next scenic spot, Shijiaoyan.
