Jiangxi Meipi Ancient Village Tour Guide Words

Introduction: Jiangxi is the "land of plenty" in the south of the Yangtze River, with many beautiful natural landscapes. The following is the Jiangxi tourist guide I introduced to you. I hope you will enjoy reading it:

The ancient village of Meipi migrated from Xiayang, Shaanxi in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. Xiayang is an ancient name and is now probably in Hancheng, Shaanxi. There is also a place called "Meipi" there. Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, visited that place and wrote the poem "A Journey to Meipi". "渼" refers to the sparkling water, and "Pi" refers to the shore, because Meipi Village is located on the bank of the water. .

Meipi Ancient Village has a history of nearly a thousand years. It is an ancient village that integrates ancestral hall culture, Ming and Qing architecture, sculpture art, and red ruins. Yongmutang is a main ancestral hall in the ancient village of Meipi. This ancestral hall was built in the early Southern Song Dynasty. It was destroyed in a war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and rebuilt in 1519 during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. The additions made in the Qing Dynasty were in a combined style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. When it was rebuilt, it happened to be that Cixi was in power. The cornices above were "phoenix at the top and dragon at the bottom". This is an "official hat" style structure. Generally, only high-ranking officials can have such a structure. The whole main temple has a unique structure. There are three such official hat-style buildings in ***. Each circle has a word on it. From the right, there are words such as "Shishu Mendi" and "Doumen Valve Crown". On the front is the "Hanlin" card. "Hanlin" is an imperial examination name. Liang Jiazhang struggled in the imperial examination until he was 69 years old and obtained the title. The whole village admired his spirit. In order to inspire future generations, this plaque with the word "Hanlin Di" was placed on the gate of the main temple. There are stone lions on both sides of the gate. They are male and female. They are placed here for decorative purposes to ward off evil spirits. You can guess which one is the male lion and which one is the female lion. On our right is a female lion, and on our left is a male lion. There are generally three ways to distinguish them. The first is from the perspective of location. Normally we talk about men on the left and women on the right, but here we have to talk about men on the left and women on the right. The second is to distinguish them from their expressions. The female lion is more reserved, with her lips tightly closed. Women in ancient times paid attention to the "three obediences and four virtues" and smiled without showing their teeth. The male lion was more majestic, looking up to the sky and roaring. The third is the lioness hugging the little lion. Unfortunately, the little lion was destroyed during the "", so it can't be seen clearly. The male lion stepped on the hydrangea. Next to the stone lion, there is a pair of red stone pillars, which look like bamboo knots. It was also the time when people prayed. The lives of future generations can be like sesame seeds blooming steadily.

The upper couplet is inlaid with couplets. The first couplet: Zhao Ji Si Xi Ziyao, Zhi Zhi on the left side of Xiang City and the local famous mountain Zhong Lingxiu. The second couplet: The birthplace is from the Miao River in the south to the Wang River in the north and around the mainstay. This couplet well explains the geographical location and outstanding people of the ancient village of Meipi. There is Xiangfeng on the left side of the village, and Ziyao Mountain on the right. There is also a Wangjiang River, also called Fushui River, that surrounds the entire village, and a Meshui River that passes around the village from the south. The pair of stone drums in front of the door The placement is very particular. Generally, stone drums of this size can only be found when people have passed the exam. The entire ancestral hall has three entrances. The first entrance has seventeen pairs of stone pillars and twenty pairs of couplets. Each couplet is a couplet with the word "Yong" embedded in the upper couplet and the word "Mu" embedded in the lower couplet. Because this place is called "Yongmutang", it means you will always admire your ancestors. It is said that during the local New Year, the village chief To test the talents and learning of the family, couplets with the characters "Yong" and "Mu" embedded in them were engraved on stone pillars. Therefore, the local literary style flourished and was passed down from generation to generation. Directly opposite is Baoxia and Yu's garden design, which shows that at that time The ancestors of Meibei were open-minded and open-minded. The symbol on the vase is called "Fang Tian Hua Ji". The "halberd" is one of the eighteen ancient weapons. It is placed here to suppress evil and protect against lightning. There is a fish-shaped figure next to it. That thing, that's not a fish, it's "Ao". Legend has it that a mother gives birth to nine sons, the first is Ao, and the ninth is Dragon. Isn't there a saying of being the best? "Ao" is the first, which also means that a high official was born here. There is a road in the middle, which was called the official road in ancient times. Entering the second entrance, there are three such squares in the entire ancestral hall. The first square is where the scholars of Mupi gained fame in the imperial examination or made utilitarian achievements outside. Later, the place where women got off the sedan after returning home was also the place where women used to get off the sedan when they got married or got married. There was a picture of "Tai Shi Shaobao" above the head. "Tai Shi" was the emperor's teacher, indicating that Meipi Village was very knowledgeable at that time. There are so many people who can be compared with the teachers of the emperor and the prince. It can be seen that there were teachers of the emperor and the prince here at that time. It can also be seen that the people here at that time were quite knowledgeable and had the meaning of a family of teachers. < /p>

In addition, there is a plaque of "Professor" in front. In the past, there were "Professor Jiangzhou" and "Dr. Taichang" in the ancient village of Meipi. This also shows that the people here at that time were "rich in learning and talented in the eighth grade." "Dou" let's look at the drum next to it. Its placement is very particular. There are generally three ways to place it. The first way is to place it facing the sky. The emperor and the emperor can only be found in the palace, and it is not allowed among the people. The second way of placing the drum is that it is parallel to the wall, indicating that a high-ranking official is here; the third way of placing the drum is that the drum surface is perpendicular to the wall, which is the way of placing the drum casually in ordinary ancestral halls, except when there is a major event in the village. Things can be settled.

There are four big characters here: "loyalty", "faith", "du" and "reverence". There used to be four such paintings and calligraphy. After many years of vicissitudes, some of them were damaged. Later generations kept these four paintings and calligraphy and copied them. These four words were also the people at that time hoping that future generations would be loyal to the country with "loyalty", "faithfulness" means to be trustworthy, "du" means to seek truth from facts, and "reverence" means to respect others. This is also the motto of the Meipi people. In the Qing Dynasty alone, there were six second-grade products in Meipi Village. How can we tell that there were second-grade products here? From the architectural point of view, there are five beams in a square, and generally there are seven in a first-grade building. Because the first product was not produced, there were only five. However, a red line without cross beams was left at the bottom of the two walls. In the hope that future generations would be able to produce a first product, it was more convenient to add two cross beams. The second square is the place for sacrifices, because here is the altar, and it is also where the village chief sat. He sat here and gave orders to the whole village. Generally, there are three doors in the third entrance. The middle door is usually not open. It is only opened when major events are held. There are two side doors. There are two side doors on both sides of the middle door, "Left Access" and "Right Access".

Enter the third entrance from "Zuotong". The third entrance was added in the 10th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. Here is Mr. Zhu Boru's family motto. It used to be gilded. It is a pity that it was used during the "" It came to set up the stage, but it was all worn away. The characters on it were copied by later generations. At that time, people hoped that future generations would behave according to Mr. Zhu Boru's family motto. There is a painting above the head, "The eighth grade of the dynasty" . I just said that there is no Yipin here, why is there the character "卍"? In fact, this "卍" looks like the character "卍" at first glance, but it is indeed written this way in ancient Chinese. It was also the time when people hoped that future generations could produce Yipin, opposite The official hat-like structure "Dui Yue is in the sky" and "Dui Yue" come from the "Book of Songs". In the Book of Songs, it means: to the spirit of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty in the sky. Here it means to the spirit of the ancestors in the sky, because the opposite is "Kong" "Sleep", that is, the place where the ancestors' spiritual tablets are placed.

When we walked in, there was a picture of "Being Crowned on Officials". When looking at this picture of "Being Crowned on Officials," we usually stand inside this square (walk into the square), which means "Heaven and Earth kiss and harmonize." The picture of "official crown" is a rooster stepping on a cockscomb flower, which is a homophonic pronunciation of "official" plus "官". Opposite is an official hat-style building, so standing here means "official promotion to the third level". . Yong Mutang made a movie called "Break" or "Horse Tail Worker" when he was in "", and part of the scenes were shot here.

The area of ??Yongmu Hall is 1,220 square meters. The construction does not require a single nail or bolt. The beams are all made of buckets and supported by brackets. This main temple is a place for major events and is also a place for sacrifices. , usually banquets are held in the temple. This Yongmu Hall was once the site of the military headquarters of the Fourth Red Army. The second floor was where cadres above the regiment level lived at that time
