Is there a diaojiao building in Yuanjiang County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province?

Diaojiaolou, also known as Diaolou, is a traditional residence of Miao people (Chongqing, Guizhou and other places). ), Zhuang, Buyi, Dong, Shui, Tujia and other ethnic groups. There are many diaojiao buildings in southeastern Chongqing, northwestern Guangxi, western Hunan, western Hubei and southeastern Guizhou. Diaojiaolou is built by mountains and rivers, and looks like a tiger. The best house is "Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger, Former Suzaku, Later Xuanwu". Later, I paid attention to orientation, either sitting west facing east or sitting east facing west. Diaojiaolou is a dry fence-style building, but it is different from the general dry fence. Stilts are suspended, so the stilt building is called semi-stilt building.

A local writer once said: Diaojiaolou, uphill wall and slate street, the most local features, can also be seen in Yuanjiang Old Street. It turned out to be flowing down the Yuan River.

Xiangxi, written by Shen Congwen, actually includes the whole Yuanjiang River basin, which gave birth to this great writer, countless heroic sons and daughters and people with lofty ideals. Thousands of miles from Yuanjiang River, upstream and downstream, connected by one vein, even the style of folk houses is no exception. Mr Huang Yongyu recalled that he and his uncle Shen Congwen came to Dongting from Shui Yuan.

I worked in Xiangxi for two years, and the diaojiao building there has now become the most eye-catching scenery. Painters, photographers, travelers and countless tourists have traveled thousands of miles to Wan Li, regardless of the country. They are constantly exploring the scenery and seeking novelty. I remember when I was a child, I grew up on a diaojiao building by the Yuanjiang River. Nowadays, we can also point out where there have been any characteristic diaojiao buildings, such as several treasures. In summer, the diaojiao building has become a good place for adults to chat and enjoy the cool. Diaojiaolou is an important living space for residents. They can hang clothes, set the table, sit on the diaojiao building, enjoy tea and fish. They can also watch the passing ships and the green hills on the other side leisurely, listen to the adults talking about the endless land, and slide into the river to swim along the foot of the diaojiao building. In the mid-1970s, there was a diaojiao building along the Yuanjiang River, which was nearly four miles long. Relevant information also records the dates and names of painters from all over the country who came to Yuanjiang to collect the scenery, just like what happened in front of them.

In a blink of an eye, the traditional houses in Yuanjiang are only in ruins and a short slate street, and there are few diaojiao buildings left. In July, 2002, more than ten senior photographers including Guangdong Sina. Com photography forum edition, make them into cultural relics and rare scenery of South Dongting, and publish them all over the world online.

The modern houses and old streets in Yuanjiang recorded the economic development history of the hinterland of South Dongting in the lower reaches of Yuanshui River for nearly 200 years, which is a microcosm of the modern historical changes in Yuanjiang. Now the Paoma Building (corridor balcony) facing the street still shows the prosperity of Yuanjiang as one of the material distribution centers in the Yuanshui River Basin at that time. A complete pile of horse-headed walls, wood carving window lattice railings, canopies and painted beams records the exquisiteness of Luban disciples a hundred years ago. If you stroll around the old streets in the city, you can immerse yourself in the century-old history of the Yuanshui River Basin and pursue the long past.

It can be said that Laojie is a residential museum in Yuanjiang.

As can be seen from the above, there are indeed diaojiao buildings in the local area.
