The "best" ancient village in Jiangxi: Ginkgo biloba beside ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties for 500 years, cliff stone carvings 1600 years.

I traveled all over Qian Shan just to meet you better. Welcome to the space of love journey.

China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, which is the deepest cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. I wonder if you have noticed that ancient buildings, historical sites and ancient roads can be found in both cities and villages with a little attention, and there are endless legends and stories everywhere.

In the folds of the Luo Xiao Mountains in Shangyou County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, there is an ancient village hidden in an unknown boudoir. Although tourists occasionally intrude into its sight, ordinary people can't really understand and know the cultural background of this ancient village except for a cursory tour in the clouds because there is no systematic rescue and excavation of unofficial history's allusions.

The name of this village is Dashimen Village, and the buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are still preserved in the village. Let's start with this ancient building. The ancient building with the words "Zhengqing Di" written on the main entrance belongs to a Wu family in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he was awarded the position of Zhengqing of Dali Temple (equivalent to the present Dean the Supreme People's Court), and later generations built this ancestral temple to show virtue.

Next to Zhengqing, there is a path covered with pebbles. Don't underestimate this road. It used to be the only way from south to north, and it was an ancient post road. Imagine how prosperous it was when countless merchants and pedestrians stopped and the ancient buildings proved.

Along this ancient post road, there are three or four ancestral halls in less than 100 meters. I remember coming here more than ten years ago and walking into the incomplete Zeng ancestral hall. The huge wooden columns and the hall more than ten meters high are shocking. Later, considering the unsafe factors, Zeng's descendants raised funds to rebuild the ancestral temple, but it was far less magnificent than before.

The previous buildings were all of good quality. Those ancient buildings that have been built for hundreds of years, despite the wind, rain, sun and rain, still stand. Judging from the broken walls and the plants growing wantonly on the walls, no one has maintained or repaired them. In the final analysis, it may be that the original owners are not hardcore. Later, due to the decline of family wealth, future generations scattered all over the world, and these old houses were naturally left unattended.

This ancient ginkgo tree can't be photographed at all nearby, and at least four people need to hold hands to hold it together. According to legend, during the Ming Dynasty, the Wu family brought back ginkgo seeds from Guangdong and planted them in their backyard. After more than 500 years, it is now flourishing. In Dashimen, only this ginkgo tree has witnessed the vicissitudes, prosperity and loneliness of the ancient village for 500 years. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the treasure of Dashimen Town.

Pay a little attention, the ancient buildings in Dashimen Village are still very exquisite. The carefully carved patterns on the blue brick horse head wall are lifelike, and each pattern has a specific meaning. There is a roadway about 1 m wide between buildings, and the pavement is paved with pebbles. At that time, stone pavement was the standard of the most luxurious houses. If it's the home of ordinary people, it's not bad to have a dirt road.

Not far from the village, there is also a heavyweight cultural relic. By the river at the entrance to the village, there is a 30-40 cm square stone face with a four-character poem 14 engraved on it, which means praising mountains and rivers and expressing emotions. This stone carving was inscribed in the second year of Jianxing, which is the year number of the Western Jin Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1600 years, and it is also one of the earliest cliff stone carvings discovered in Jiangxi Province.

It was 10 years ago. At this moment, next to a vegetable field, dirty stones were covered with soil fertilizer. If you don't pay attention, you really can't find this stone carving. Fortunately, ordinary people don't care about this thing, and outsiders don't know it, so the stone carvings after thousands of years are still safe and sound. Now a local pavilion has been built to protect it, and this stone carving has changed from an abandoned child to a lucky one.
