Fujian Yongding Hongkeng Cultural Village listens to the legend of Tulou.

Recently, a movie "Big Fish Begonia" was released. I believe all the friends who have seen this film know that it is a touching animated drama. Yongding Tulou, a world cultural heritage, was taken in the film. Although it is an animated visual effect, it is not difficult to see that tulou gives people another kind of architectural design beauty. Next, I will take you into the earth building of Hongkeng Hakka Folk Culture Village.

World cultural heritage

Hongkeng Hakka Folk Culture Village is a very mature place in Yongding Scenic Area, where there is the core earth building in the "sixth floor and fourth floor" of the world cultural heritage, and the traffic in the scenic area is very convenient. When we came here, the sky was still raining, and our team leader bought me an umbrella at the gate of the scenic spot. Because the Tulou Natural Museum is nearby, many people will go to this museum to learn about the formation and development of Hakka Tulou. In the folk village, you can see more than 40 earth buildings with different shapes, such as the classic Prince of Earth Building "Town Tower", the classic Fuyu Building of Wufeng Building, the palace-style Queju House, Denggao Building and other pocket round buildings, all of which are written with Hakka pastoral songs in mountain gardens surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Because the folk culture village is very large, in order to save time, we took a battery car tour. When the battery car was driving, we also saw the "Avenue of Stars". It turns out that Hakka, as a unique and important ethnic group of Han nationality, is widely distributed all over the world, including many Hakka celebrities. We are familiar with Sun Yat-sen, Zhu De, Hu Wenhu and Wu Boxiong. Mr. Robert Wang was the American ambassador to China on 20 1 1. Miao Di, a large area of green vegetables, can also be seen in the village. The air in the rain is full of fresh flavor. The first building we walked into was the palace-style Kuiju House. The designer of this earth building is the sworn brother of the landlord. He was a bachelor of Hanlin. The eaves of Kuiju Palace are very beautiful. From a distance, Kuiju House looks like a tiger going down the mountain, and Kuiju House looks like a tiger's head.

When you come to the cultural village, you must see the "Town Tower" of Prince Tulou, which is a tulou designed according to the gossip principle and a representative of circular design. Its model also caused a sensation at the World Architecture Expo in Los Angeles, USA, and was praised by foreigners as "the pearl of oriental architecture". In the Sincere Building, many residents live here. In addition to their kitchens, many of them are designed as small shops, selling some souvenirs of tulou and some local tea products to tourists. There are many lanterns hanging in each corridor of Zhencheng Building, which are full of Chinese style. Visitors are not allowed to go upstairs in the Sincere Building, but many residents who live here will charge tourists the health fee of 10 yuan.

Fuyulou is the representative work of Yongding County-style earth building in Qing Dynasty. Its designer is Zhang Xingbing, a friend of the landlord. It's not round and square, but it looks undulating. The landlord spent a lot of money and effort to build this earth building, transported glazed tiles from Shanghai to Xiamen, and then hired someone to pick them up with a pole in Hongkeng Village. Exquisite furniture in the building is also very expensive. Now part of the building has become rich. Visitors can experience the feeling of living in a tulou. Some rooms are equipped with carved embroidery and carved wooden cabinets. In Fuyulou, there is a courtyard with tables and chairs, which is also a good place for people to drink tea, chat and enjoy the moon.

Rammed earth circular building

Unconsciously, I stayed in Hongkeng Folk Culture Village for a whole afternoon. Walking out of the gate of a tulou, I saw several Hakka old people sitting on stools and chatting leisurely. They seem to be used to the arrival of tourists. When I walked a long way, I looked back. These tulou also look like peaceful old people. They seem to see through history, get used to the fragrance of the earth here, and silently watch every visitor here. Yes, peace of mind is like this.

Professor alastair Morrison, Dean of the International Tourism College, said sincerely after the inspection: Tulou will be the third symbol of China after the Great Wall and Terracotta Warriors.

During the Spring Festival of 20 10, Comrade Hu * *, a former president in China, praised: "Hakka earth building is a treasure of Chinese culture and a model of harmonious coexistence between a big family and a small society".

Calm down, Hongkeng is a beautiful landscape painting.

Zhencheng tulou

The construction of Zhencheng Mansion started from 19 12, and it took five years, with an area of 80,000 square meters, which is equivalent to our current construction of100000 yuan, covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters. At the architectural exhibition held in Los Angeles from 65438 to 0985, Yongding Tulou-Zhencheng Building model and Beijing Tiantan model were exhibited side by side, which caused a sensation in the world. The overall appearance of the town tower looks like the black hat of ancient officials. There are symmetrical half-moon wings on the left and right sides, which are equivalent to the ears of the official hat. The wing on the left side of the building is a manual workshop for the landlord to cut tobacco leaves, and on the right side is a private school being built by the landlord as a descendant to receive education. Because the landlord named it to commemorate the sixteenth ancestor Lin Fucheng and the seventeenth ancestor Lin Pizhen, it was named "Zhencheng Building".

Building middle door

Here is a couplet: "Running state affairs and reading sages' books" is the words of Hai Rui, a loyal minister in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. The landlord quoted Harry's words and hoped that future generations would be ambitious and make a difference. On the lintel are the words "Li Dang Guan Xing" and a small red letter entitled "Inscription of the President". There is a seal of the great president in the middle, which was written by Li, then president of the Republic of China, to praise the landlord. "Li Dang" refers to the four townships and eight neighbors, "view" refers to looking far and wide, and "type" refers to role models and models. The concept of "Li Dang" means that this tulou and the landlord are examples for the neighbors in the village to learn from each other.

The main hall, also known as the ancestral hall, is spacious, bright, comfortable and generous, with a combination of Chinese and western architectural styles. Four large stone pillars stand upright and a triangular roof is also very similar to the architectural style of the temple in Athens, Greece. This ancestral hall, also called multi-function hall, is not only a banquet hall for weddings, funerals and celebrations, but also a place for people to discuss and act.

The diameter of Zhencheng Building is 57.2 meters. This building is designed according to the eight diagrams principle of China traditional Yijing. It is divided into eight units with blue brick fire-proof clear water wall, representing eight hexagrams. There are 222 rooms (including hall) in the whole building. There are still 15 households with more than 80 people, all descendants of Lin.

Sincere building is divided into two rings: inside and outside.

Tulou has the function of being warm in winter and cool in summer because of its thick body and good heat insulation effect. Sincere building is divided into inner ring and outer ring. The middle is a building, and the outer ring is a civil structure. Height16m, divided into four floors, with four stairs, leading from the first floor to the fourth floor. The first floor is the kitchen and dining room, the second floor is the warehouse for storing food, and the third and fourth floors are the master's bedroom. The inner ring ***2 floors, brick and wood structure, was once a wing dedicated to entertaining guests, so it is called "a foreign land".

Tuloumen

The gate of the earth building is very thick. Under the social conditions at that time, Hakkas were in a state of chaos. In order to survive, they have to live in groups. The gate building of Tulou is also very strong and safe. If the door is invaded by foreign enemies, it is difficult to attack with such a thick latch and such a thick door panel. What if the foreign enemy attacks with fire? Some wealthy families will nail iron sheets to prevent fire at the front door, and some economic conditions will generally design a fire-fighting sink at the top of the door, which will go straight to the second floor. Once the enemy attacks, the owner will put water on the second floor to put out the fire.

The reflection of the earth building in the water, such a scene also appeared in "Big Fish Begonia"

There is a family training hall on the first floor of Qingcheng Building and a family virtue hall on the second floor, so that visitors can better understand Hakka culture.

Hakka gourmet

Hakka people also have a lot of manners when eating. They want their elders to sit on the table and eat first or hear them say "Let's eat together", so that everyone can understand chopsticks. The younger generation can't leave early after dinner. They should put chopsticks on their rice bowls to show their respect for their elders.
