Chaoshan impression gucuo

Walking into that alley, I originally wanted to find some other Chaoshan snacks, but I accidentally met a large-scale Chaoshan ancient residence.

This old house covers an area of more than 20 mu, with regular organizational system and basically intact preservation, but it has been abandoned. I met some old people at the door and learned through chatting that they came to do business and just rented in this old house.

The most striking thing about Chaoshan folk houses is the "Cuojitou" where the two ends of each roof beam are tilted upwards, and the host family seems willing to make a fuss about it. Gorgeous "CuO Jiao Tou" is like a girl's hairstyle on her head. There are many kinds of hair accessories, as long as they look good.

The shapes of these "rubbing horns" are very exquisite, and the five elements corresponding to different styles are different, which can be simply summarized as "Jin Mu is full of fire, water and soil, round and steep, and flat". The head and horns of each family are designed according to the master's five elements of numerology. The master's five elements belong to gold, and the angle is round and wide. Master's five elements belong to wood, and his head is round and straight. The master's five elements belong to the water, and the angle is flat. The master's five elements belong to fire, with sharp and wide corners. The master's five elements belong to the earth and his head is flat and handsome. The decorative degree of the corner head also reveals the economic strength of the host family.

Looking back, the old house is hidden in the shadow of the new city. I don't smell the noise of cars and horses across the street. In the past, Huatang gradually became bleak. The times are too new and too fast. These ancient houses are full of long years, and I don't know which day will be submerged by time.
