Tradition and modernity * * * blend, and the freshmen in the ancient village look at the big square.

When the amorous feelings of eastern Jiangxi meet modern art

This modern building is a cafe, but it is hidden behind the wind and fire wall of a small village in Jiangxi.

When you walk into a coffee shop, you will probably see grandfathers playing chess in it, and the cups at their hands are not tea, but coffee.

this is Dafang village in Jinxi county, Fuzhou city, Jiangxi province.

Here, the modern buildings with peculiar shapes are built next to the traditional buildings of Jiangxi School, the works of artists and villagers are in one room, and the tunes of traditional tea-picking dramas are intertwined with the guitars of young people ...

Tradition and modernity collide and blend wonderfully here, which makes this ancient village exude a unique temperament.

With this unique temperament, Dafang Village has become a popular tourist punching place, with an annual tourism income of more than 5.6 million yuan.

Dafang Village is located on the plain between Wuyishan Mountain and Poyang Lake, with a history of more than 5 years.

The biggest surname in the village is Li. The origin of the village name is related to the Li family.

During the reign of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, the parents of the Li family died suddenly, and the brothers in the family quarreled because there was no arrangement for the distribution of property.

at this moment, a group of thieves stole all the property of the Li brothers while they were fighting for it.

Family discord brought such consequences, which made the Li brothers regret it.

Later, Li Yuzhang, one of the brothers, went out on a business trip and went through all kinds of difficulties before the Li family got back on its feet.

In order not to repeat the same mistakes, Li Yuzhang always warned his sons that they should be tolerant and generous in dealing with others, and their family and talents should flourish.

Later, when we were separated again, Li Yuzhong, the eldest son, obeyed the family instructions and gave up all his family wealth, while he started his own business in the nearby mountains and gradually formed a village.

gradually, people refined Li Yuzhong's "big house" into the name of the village "Dafang". The generous and tolerant way of dealing with the world has also become a tradition that Dafang people have followed for generations.

One family is not as rich as everyone else

After the 199s, many Dafang people left their hometown to look for opportunities in the city. The bread business that sells well has become a choice for Dafang people.

In 2, villager Li Shusheng opened a bakery in Nanjing.

In order to occupy the market as soon as possible, Li Shusheng keeps studying and researching. Whenever there is a bread-related exhibition, he will go to study and accumulate experience.

Everything comes to him who waits, and gradually he gropes for an exclusive secret recipe for fermentation. With the secret recipe, Li Shusheng stood firm in the market.

When he went home to visit relatives, Li Shusheng found that the folks who stayed at home earned less than one-tenth of his income and lived a very tight life.

Seeing the difficulties of the villagers, Li Shusheng offered that anyone who wants to do bread business can go to his shop to learn technology, and all the secret recipes will be made public.

In this way, driven by Li Shusheng, more than 5 villagers in Dafang Village started bread business.

It is also agreed that we should not open stores in adjacent places, and we should not let the competition hurt the harmony. Later, this agreement gradually became the regulation of the bread industry in Jinxi County.

Today, one in every ten people in Jinxi is making bread. Everyone has dispersed their operations and opened more than 1, bakeries to every prefecture-level city in China, creating an annual output value of 3.5 billion yuan.

Keep the roots and innovate

However, although the money has been earned, Dafang Village is gradually empty.

The old houses in the village have fallen into disrepair, and it is difficult to live in them, so many young people who work outside are reluctant to come back.

people really want to repair the old houses, but this is a huge project, which requires not only a lot of money, but also technical support, and it is impossible to complete it by one family and one village.

Until 218, Jinxi County Government cooperated with China Cultural Relics Protection Foundation to launch a large-scale "Save the Old Houses". Dafang village has also been included in the repair list.

in June 219, the first phase restoration project of Dafang village began. At that time, many foreign artists were also invited to the village to provide fresh elements for creating a multi-style creative village.

But their ideas conflict with the villagers' ideas.

once, when repairing a villager's old house, the designer wanted to tear down the geomantic wall and increase the lighting and ventilation of the house.

However, this practice has been opposed by the owners. The old houses are all left by their ancestors, and the layout and wind water are exquisite, so they cannot be easily destroyed.

the two sides are at loggerheads, so the project can't continue.

Later, under the care of the village director, the owner and the designer sat together and exchanged their ideas. Finally, both sides took a step back, and the Feng Shui wall was kept, but several windows were opened for ventilation and lighting.

in the face of contradictions, it is not confrontation, but seeking reconciliation. In this way, in the communication and acceptance between villagers and designers, the village is changing day by day.

in March, 22, the first phase restoration project of Dafang village was completed. This ancient village not only preserves the traditional pattern and the shape of ancient buildings, but also incorporates the characteristics of the times, attracting many tourists.

Nowadays, young people who used to go out to work hard have returned to their hometowns to live and start businesses, and many foreign artists have stayed for a long time because they have fallen in love with China culture. This traditional and modern village is full of vitality.

at 2: tonight, I will go to Dafang Village in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, and see a village where tradition and modernity blend together.
