I ran into Room 17 (Zheng)

Speaking of accidents, this room Zheng 17 is not our intended destination. We wanted to go to Jiaxing or the ancient town of Suzhou for lunch. But my brother-in-law got up early and naturally had breakfast early. The most important thing is a bowl of seafood noodles. Science tells us that spaghetti will only stay in the stomach for 2 hours.

As a result, because I couldn't get up early, and then I had to finish the buffet breakfast gracefully, I hurried around the food market and bought some seafood. (I'm still more sensible, with many varieties and few quantities, unlike my second sister ...) I went back to the hotel to get my luggage ... not long after I left, my brother-in-law became hungry.

He said he wanted to find a place to have lunch, but he couldn't help it. He's the driver. He's in charge. Baidu, is there an ancient town nearby?

Second sister discovered a "pseudo-ancient town" called Camel Bridge (why do you say that? There's a reason, my friends. Look down patiently. ), I like to shop around and read the information in detail. My brother-in-law was possessed by a hungry wolf and thought I was dawdling, so he decided to use my second sister's navigation. Although I repeatedly proposed to go to the nearby room 17, I refused to turn back.

Facts have proved that I was right again. My brother-in-law would have been hungry if he hadn't listened to me and had not been accompanied by Saqima's summer sleeping mat.

After a tour, we found that Camel Bridge is a street office and a stadium with Camel Group Bridge, but there is no ancient town, at least we didn't find it.

In this way, my brother-in-law took my advice and came to this ancient town called Zheng Shifang.

We ate in a nearby farmhouse and got used to cheap seafood. When I come here again, I feel that thieves are expensive and the gap is too big. Fortunately, we are not hungry. The chef here is good at cooking. When we leave home, we should not be too picky about food.

After lunch, my brother-in-law is going to sketch again. We are going to visit Shifangfang ancient town. It was my second sister and I who spent 20 yuan to buy the ticket. Only we bought the ticket, which made me feel inexplicable. If I hadn't entered the hospital and found that the ancient buildings here were very distinctive, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, I would have always felt kidney deficiency.

I thought this was a businessman named Zheng, the richest man in the world, who married an aunt in room 17 and gave birth to a group of children, so there was such a village. ...

In order to write, in order to be cautious, I specially checked Baidu, but found that it was quite different from my guess. I am so arrogant, I will suddenly feel tacky, maliciously speculate on others, and low taste has broken the bottom line.

Compared with those ancient towns in Wuzhen, the advantages here are unique architecture, clean environment and few tourists. And I have a strange familiarity and intimacy with these courtyards.

The following excerpts from some history, interested friends can search for a detailed introduction, which is really good.

The seventeenth room of the Zheng family is the place where the descendants of the family moved south live. In 806 BC, Zhou Xuanwang made Zheng Huangong, a friend of Ji Di, king in hua county, Shaanxi.

During the Five Dynasties, social unrest, frequent wars and people lived in poverty. The Zheng family moved south three times.

According to the records of Zheng Chuan Zhu Juan in Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, Jia Song moved to his hometown (now Laipu area in Zhenhai) and chose Tang Yang Road along the mountain, which was called Zheng Along Road in history. After the sixth generation, they were divided into seventeen rooms, and their ancestor Ben was also given to Junlang by Mingbei in the Jin Dynasty. Later, they became a family. Most of the existing "Zheng's Seventeen Houses" were built during the period from Qianlong to Guangxu, with 335 households 1024 people.

Room 17 covers an area of 60,000 square meters, with an existing construction area of more than 40,000 square meters. Most of the buildings were built between Qing Qianlong and Guangxu. Today, there are more than 65,438 polyester houses with single entry and multiple exits, such as Hengdefu, Hengxiangfu, Sanjiantang, Dazutang, Houtanglou, Vertical House, New House, Sifenfang, Laolujiafu, Dalong, Dongnong, Houxinfu and Binjiang.

Horsehead wall, wing, stone carving, memorial arch, etc. , has certain characteristics. The architectural style of the wing and the hall is integrated. Outside the walls, there are rivers around the city, green water and weeping willows, every family has a harbor, small bridges around the city, streets in the house and cities in the streets.

The building has the style of Jiangnan water town and has a palace-like layout structure. The central axis and horizontal axis are extremely obvious. After successive generations of expansion, the building has a grand scale and exquisite craftsmanship, and the beams and eaves are painted with exquisite carvings.

There is also a woodcut handwriting inscribed by Prince Cheng in Qianlong's reign, which reads "Qi Shui Yan Bo half contains spring scenery". The villagers still have a plaque engraved with the "imperial edict" of the Qing Dynasty on the archway.

As the saying goes: There are three treasures in the 17th room, with the largest and highest chess lever, which can be seen in Ningbo; If it doesn't rain for three years, the river will not dry up; Seventeen rooms have the most horse-head walls, which are higher than the first one, and the typhoon can't blow. There is a street on the house and a city on the street. There are shops, shops, workshops and fire fighting in the city. There is a ring river outside the house, and every family has a dock. There is a big river outside the river, which leads directly to Ningbo. There are small bridges running by the river, ducks playing in the water, willows brushing the shore, and the reflection is oblique.

I didn't see the ducks paddling in the water. I guess they were decorating. The chickens, ducks, geese, peacocks, pigs and sheep in the hospital are all locked up, which is very pitiful.

I took a few photos casually and burned them into my mind, but I was very pleased. Don't be too wordy, please look at the photos!

I have to write about this snake. I have never looked at a snake for more than 5 minutes.

In fact, when I broke in here, I saw a wren looking at it, but they were very close, hardly exceeding 10 cm. I think it's novel and I want to film this scene. Unexpectedly, I raised my mobile phone and the wren flew away.

I looked at the snake as if I had known it for a long time. It is strange that it is not afraid of me and I am not afraid of it. Later, the owl thought I had "flown away" (maybe birds would guess human beings) and flew to the snake. I thought it was my chance, but with a mobile phone, this guy found out that I hadn't left yet, and then he flew away. ...

In desperation, I had to leave the precious figure of the little silver snake. It looked at me for a long time, and then it was probably bored, or it found that it was not the person it was waiting for, or it felt that it was not uncommon for the person it was waiting for to be disabled because of reincarnation. So it struggled a few times and swam away in a hurry.

It's not that I'm superstitious, but I think this place really has some intimacy. For example, the snake seems to be a friend who has been waiting for hundreds of years. It has been waiting for me for a long time for the real feeling of driving here. ...

Perhaps, passing by a place and meeting some people is God's best arrangement, or, it is past lives's agreement that you unconsciously go to the appointment and practice.

These seventeen rooms, although they met unexpectedly, were actually surprises. There are accidents everywhere in life and there are always surprises. A good attitude will always bring a better life.
