Introduction of Xijindu Ancient Street in Zhenjiang

Xijindu, near Yuntai Mountain, is the best preserved area of Zhenjiang historical relics and the source of Zhenjiang culture. This ancient street contains memories of the past and traces of multiculturalism here. You can also see the historical development and evolution of Zhenjiang people here!

First, the plot of the ancient village.

I think many bee friends have the plot of ancient villages (ancient towns and streets) and dream of living in seclusion in a place far away from the world, full of ancient customs and slow pace of life. It's a pity that the noisy modern society has dried up the ancient villages into specimens. The ancient village I saw has no vivid expression, just an empty shell, and culture is just an ornament of the new era.

Nevertheless, when I saw those villages and towns with ancient buildings, I couldn't restrain my inner excitement, even though I knew that many of them were antiques and fakes. Appreciating specimens is better than having no bones.

The first thing that touched me was Zhenjiang Xijindu. There were not many places to go at that time, and I felt such an ancient rhyme and such a feeling of crossing. Later, Suzhou Pingjiang Road Shantang Street, Hangzhou Xiaohe Street, Tongli Zhouzhuang.

Mudu Nanxun; Later, Hongcun, Xidi and Wuyuan were more than N Huizhou.

Village; Hongcuo block in southern Fujian and Tulou village in western Fujian came into my sight one after another. The style is constantly changing, but my fantasy and yearning for ancient villages remain unchanged.

There are no water towns in southern Zhejiang and Huizhou in the houses south of nanxi river.

The thick ink smell in the village is not as gorgeous as Hongcuo in southern Fujian, but it has the same distinctive characteristics, which is a brand-new feeling compared with those villages that are tired of walking.

A trip to the mountains and rivers will double the healing effect if you can adjust the ancient villages like Taoyuan. As I felt in Wuyuan.

At noon on July 15, I had lunch very late because of improper arrangements. Then go straight to the first village in the center of Yantou Town-Yantou Ancient Village.

2. Lishui Street

Yantou Village is famous for its ancient street-Lishui Street, so "Lishui Street" has naturally become synonymous with the village.

This is an ancient village built on ancient water conservancy facilities, and a pair of couplets is well written: the water is like a chessboard dividing the street, and the mountain is like a painted building. Indeed, the tree-lined dike says "Lishui"

The lake is divided into "chessboards", which are neat and beautiful.

Since it is irrigation, there can be no shortage of waterwheels. Although the waterwheel has become the standard of various "ancient villages", it is not abrupt to put it here.

Stone Banqiao and towering old trees make this village even older.

When I first heard the name "Lishui Street", I thought it was related to the neighboring Lishui City. It seems that water is the key to the beauty of the mountain village.

The village has its own Wenchang Pavilion and Wenchang Tower, which record the glory of the past. Pebbles are everywhere, taking local materials and showing simple beauty.

The walls of the courtyard are also made of pebbles, and the alleys lead to the depths of the village. If it is not the most sunny time of the day, I really want to go deep into the village and have a good stroll.

"Sit back and relax, get together and have fun", and the feeling of enjoying yourself is beyond words.

Of course, the biggest attraction of the village is Lishui Street.

This ancient street is all under the porch shed near the water. It is very long and bends into a wonderful arc, setting off mountains, waters and dikes. Take a picture. It's called beauty.

Facing the water, one side is a small shop. All the wooden structures, countless colonnades, beautiful chairs, lanterns and pebbles are full of meaning.

The Wenchang Tower nearby and the "Three Crowns of Hibiscus" in the distance have all become beautiful embellishments. The whole village is like a big garden, painting people.

As an ancient traffic artery, Lishui Street naturally formed a commercial street of a certain scale, but it also became a beautiful landscape with both nature and humanity.

Another place worth visiting in Yantou Village is Shuige Temple. Listening to this name is unusual. This reminds me of the "Shui Xin Pavilion" at the source of Yangzhou River.

Its gate is facing an alley under road construction, which is not very eye-catching, but there is a hole in it.

First of all, there is a big screen wall of "Songhe Yannian", which is very new, but the reflection reflected in the pool is very attractive.

This square pool is not small, and there is an instrument door in it.

Into the instrument door, there is a pool, and there is a pavilion in the pool, opposite the main hall. These eaves are layered on top of each other. At first glance, they are patchy and have the feeling of "Five Towers". They are really beautiful. The plaque in the center of the main hall reads "Qinshan Academy". As the introduction says, this is a big college. Of course, ancient academies also have the function of offering sacrifices to ancestral temples, such as Song Wan Academy in Hangzhou. Some ancestral temples are also used as private schools, such as Fujian.

Connecting building of earth building. Since ancient times, reading is probably a sacred thing.

The couplet is very neat: "Lishui is often in Zhong Ling, and Jinlong often jumps;" Qinshan is long and beautiful, and Fengge is rich in jade and Fengxiang.

"。 On the walls of the two boxes, there are introductions of "Ten Scenes of Rock Head", including "Three Cliffs Reflection", which is the reflection of "Three Crowns of Furong" and Lishui Wenfeng Tower. Unfortunately, I was lazy and didn't find the best shooting location.

See Shuige later. The pavilion in the center of the pool is square.

Yes, it's quite like the Furong Pavilion in Furong Ancient Village. If the whole ancestral temple can be regarded as a small garden, this water pavilion is the center of the garden and the crowning touch, just like the Shui Xin Pavilion in the garden.

Viewed from the side, it is really delicious, although "Chi Pan" is full of aquatic plants. Ancestral temples are generally solemn places, and the atmosphere here is cheerful because of Shuige.

I remember there were academies in furong village. It seems that in any ancient village, apart from ancestral halls, it is also necessary to advocate literary spirit.

Because I spent a lot of effort in Yaxiaku and Wuxing Beach today, the sun is very sunny and it is difficult to walk more. Wenchang Pavilion and Wenchang

I didn't go to Tahu Temple. There are also several tour groups in the village, and outside the village is a small town with modern buildings. Except for Shuiting Temple, the overall atmosphere is not quiet. We walked around for about an hour.

Third, Cangpo Ancient Village

The next stop is Cangpo Ancient Village, three kilometers away. Unlike the hustle and bustle outside Lishui Street, full of green in the village is idyllic.

Outside the main entrance of the village is very open, with a round pool.

The guide map of the ancient village is not big, just one main street-Pen Street and three alleys, which are horizontal and vertical, and can be seen at a glance.

We didn't go in through the main entrance, but walked forward for a while. The mountain in front of us is Bijia Mountain, right?

Sneaking in from the alley in front of this hotel saved ten yuan for tickets.

Looking east, this is the "Xichi" in the village, which is also square (the ponds in three villages in Yantou Town are all square).

, is also a major feature). The reflections of the white houses on both sides and the front ancestral temple are reflected in the water, which is really a beautiful still life painting.

Bijie

Soon I came to Pen Street. "Pen and Ink Garden" and "Paper and Ink Pavilion" are both homestays with beautiful names. I wanted to book here. It is amazing that there is such a western-style (should be a combination of Chinese and western) gatehouse in a farmhouse facing the street. Go east along Pen Street, and there is a square pavilion next to Xichi.

There is also a striking two-story building in front, probably in the style of the Republic of China. The buildings in the Republic of China are also ancient buildings. If the pigeon coop we live in can live for a hundred years, it will be called "ancient buildings", but now it seems that I am so sorry for this title.

The village is laid out according to "Four Treasures of the Study". This seems to have been publicized in many villages, such as Wuyuan.

Ruo village in Tuochuan. However, Bijiashan in Cangpo Village is a genuine "writing style", and the avenue facing "writing style" is "Pen Street".

These stones are "ink" and creative.

Painting and calligraphy gallery

There are many small scenic spots to visit in Cangpo Village. The first is "Hui Feng Xuan", which shows the works of Shanghai female painter Xia Huiying. Ancient villages in southern Zhejiang often appear in her paintings.

Single-family house, clean and messy home, free virtual room. The inscription on the plaque reads "Cultivation in China's Calligraphy". Perhaps, Zhuge Liang and Tao Yuanming are in such a place, while farming in Longmu, they are lyrical.

At the end of Pen Street is "Dongchi", and then turn north. This pond is the inkstone in the Four Treasures of the Study.

Lagerstroemia indica is in full bloom. This "hundred-day flower" lasts from June to September, and its beautiful figure can be seen everywhere in the north and south. It is a refreshing agent in hot summer.

This is a local painter in Lin Painting and Calligraphy Museum. I remember his art gallery under the Lingfeng of Yandang Mountain.

Inside is a small quadrangle with pebbles and wooden doors and windows.

Spring willow grazing cattle, freehand brushwork is not realistic. Such as paper-cut works.

To catch bass, tie the wicker. The fisherman's facial features are not very clear, but his triumphant expression jumps from the paper. Laugh at the surging water, and the oblique wind and drizzle will not return.

Twelve peaks, I'll go and have a look sometime.

It is difficult to live long and be rich. Study hard; Tuba, ambitious.

After the "Yixue Temple".

Look at this stone wall!

Is this a banyan tree? Intertwined with stones.

Chess hall

Chu River Han boundary? Oh, here we are in the chess room.

The chess hall stands in a square pool, and only a one-meter-long stone bridge leads to the shore. Like a pavilion, like a pavilion, there are beauties to lean on.

There is a cave in it: a quiet little yard with huge chess pieces on the ground.

Yongjia used to be a place where chess masters played.

Like table tennis, chess is easy to popularize in China, so there are countless folk experts. Among the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, chess is Weiqi, but China chess obviously has more local characteristics and is more worthy of the temperament of the villages near nanxi river.

This building has a name and a history, "Jizhou Garden", also known as "Shuiyuetang". There are continents in the pool, which can feel the water, and the wind is light and the moon is cold.

Shi Li da zong

The next stop is Cangpo Village's own cultural auditorium-Lee's Grand Ancestral Hall.

Li Cangpo is still a noble family.

There are countless plaques hanging in the ancestral hall, and the portraits under the two corridors are important figures of Lee in previous dynasties. It is said that the "high school" students of the ancient imperial examination family will come to the ancestral temple to worship. I remember that a classmate was admitted to the graduate school that year, and a bystander said disdainfully, "This time his old grave is bubbling!" " "

That's what I'm saying.

A big stage in the yard. The pattern is similar to the Chen Ancestral Hall in furong village.

The feng shui around the ancestral temple is very good, and outside the door is "Xichi". Despite the backlight, Bijia Mountain is clearly reflected in the pool, and there are clouds in the sky.

Renjimiao

Next to the ancestral hall is the "Renji Temple" dedicated to the "three evils". An irrelevant legend shows that Cangpo Village attaches importance to the education of the next generation. It is a pity to die when you hear the news, but the prodigal son will never change his money.

I still have some ideas about Zhou Chu. After he became a gentleman, he finally became a famous minister and star. But at the beginning of the week, the upright and upright people offended the powerful people in the DPRK. Finally, the frontier tribes in the Western Expedition staged a realistic version of Yang Jiye being killed by Pan Renmei. If he goes back to the beginning and continues to be a rogue, this will not be the end. If the second half of the story is as familiar as the first half, no one will learn it well. It's just like "Bright Sword". The first half is extremely tall and positive, but the second half is shady. No one dares to make a TV series. Education, I really don't know where to go.

The pebbles in front of the temple are paved with gossip patterns, which makes people shine.

Next to it is an ancient cypress in the Song Dynasty, which is said to have been planted by Li's ancestors.

Now the temple has become a "Kunqu Culture Exhibition", and I know nothing about drama and opera. I always thought that Kunqu opera was only available in Suzhou.

There is also a pool in the square courtyard, where four waters return to the hall, and the water breeds Yongjia Kunqu opera with tenderness like water.

Wang Xiongting, high and low bridge.

Renji Temple is next to Dongchi. Separated from it by water, there is a square pavilion-Wang Xiongting. The style and structure are exactly the same as those of Furong Pavilion and Shuiting Temple.

This pavilion has a story of brotherhood. Brothers, friends and brothers respect each other as guests, and the family will be harmonious, which also entrusts the good wishes of our ancestors!

Dongchi and Xichi are actually connected by water. There is a bridge on it. No, there are three bridges. The middle is high and the sides are low. Very personal!

It is said that the ancients preferred boys to girls (and still do). When a man walks in Gao Qiao, a woman can only get off the bridge. Women can only walk up when they are married or married (how is it the same as Huizhou ancestral temple). We do the opposite.

Is it really superior to stand a little higher? However, although the bridge is short, it is still beautiful and unforgettable. Maybe a few years later, when I recall Cangpo Village, I will only remember this bridge.

The bridge faces the entrance of the village. Because it came in by evading tickets, I felt guilty and didn't wander to the gate.

Finally, the rural reform exhibition hall. It is natural to recognize private property, respect individual labor and learn advanced technology. It takes decades of detours and stumbling to understand such simple common sense, as if it were a great achievement and wisdom.

The facade is inconspicuous, in a circle of houses. Cangpo village is very clean and tidy. It must have been renovated this year.

We also visited Cangpo village for an hour. You can't travel in depth in an hour, but on the surface, Cangpo is more impressive than furong village and Lishui Street. Without the hustle and bustle of the tour group, the experience is really good. If you can come again later.

Nanxi river, I want to stay here for one night and enjoy the peace here.

Four. Linkeng

On July 16, we stopped by Linkeng Village on the way back to Yongjia after a one-day tour in Shenxianju.

It takes more than ten kilometers to get out of Yantan exit. Master Zhou, the driver, said: At first, Zhao, the deputy director of Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV, who was known as the "first person in aerial photography in China", became famous here because of his unfortunate death.

From an unknown mountain village to a tourist hotspot that donkey friends are keen on. Zhao crashed into a high-voltage power line during an aerial photography mission and died.

Forest pit is free. Different from Yantou Sancun, it is deeply hidden in the deep mountains and forests, completely integrated with the green mountains and green waters, and has the original ecological atmosphere.

On the previous map, a forked mountain stream ran through the whole village from the end of the village to the head of the village. The pattern is a bit like Taoxi Village, Wuyuan, which I just visited on May 1st.

The forest pit is towering, which is my first intuitive impression.

Since it is called "Linkeng", there must be beautiful forests, including the bamboo sea. Sure enough, the scenery is beautiful, a little "too light for anyone to hear except my comrade-in-arms Mingyue".

Then there is the old wooden house. The architectural styles of ancient villages in Yongjia are similar, all of which are mixed bricks and wood, mostly two-story buildings.

The house in Linkeng seems to be more exaggerated, with large eaves and many gables.

Have you noticed the wooden skeleton on the gable? Much like the "wooden reinforced houses" in the mountains of southern Germany (online posts).

And they are all built according to the terrain, with high and low points. The steep and slow stone steps form the link between the room and the back.

Besides these, the bridge attracts me most in Linkeng. There are two kinds of bridges in Linkeng: stone arch bridge and wooden covered bridge. The number is small, one * * * two arch bridges and three covered bridges.

This is Yong 'an Bridge.

The upper reaches of Yongping Bridge.

The upper reaches are divided into two tributaries, and Yongji Bridge is on the left.

Wynn Bridge on the right.

The most beautiful covered bridge is the agarwood bridge downstream, with a large arc and twists and turns.

The bridge is not big, but it forms an inseparable whole with the surrounding hillsides, gullies and houses, which is so harmonious.

Whether it's arch bridges, steps or the foundations and fences of houses, all materials are taken from the local area and built with stones. The color of the stone is gray and cold, but there are so many vibrant green vines crawling out of the cracks in the stone and silently growing old with it.

Wooden covered bridges are made of local materials, and flying rainbows generally span deep ditches. Sitting on the beauty's back, watching the sunset, the water is flowing.

The ditch is deep, but there is not much water. But looking at the photos on the internet, it is often dry, just a little water. It's a pity that people lack running water under small bridges. But after all, it is a "mountain village", which is different from Suzhou.

The "water village" over there is dominated by mountains, supplemented by water.

There is a lot of water in the upper stream, and there are small waterfalls.

Qingquan jingled and accompanied Lin keng through the years. The vicissitudes of the wooden house near the water, even if it is changed into an inn, still does not change its quaint style.

Most of the residents here are surnamed Mao, and the village is close to Maogong Mountain. It's a pity that it's too late to climb the mountain and overlook the village.

It is estimated that the current forest pit is not the paradise it used to be. Most of the houses have become inns and restaurants, and red lanterns are hung high, just like the mosquito-free village in Longhu Mountain.

You see, stopping so many cars speaks for itself.

But despite the noise, it still conforms to the dream of "in that distant mountain village"

I also walked in the forest pit for an hour, but I didn't go indoors because its scenery came out. I still regret that I don't make friends like the west.

Stay here for one night, take a good breath of the fresh air in the mountains and listen to the sound of the wind blowing through bamboo forests and springs.

On the way back from Linkeng, I passed many ordinary villages, which was actually not bad. I remember a village with colorful paintings and beautiful decorations on the wall, which is similar to that in Germany.

The customs of southern mountain villages are very similar. Unfortunately, I didn't stop to take pictures.

Then there is the ocean of flowers, the universe and sunflowers. It's not the first time to see this kind of scenery, but I'm still very excited. I'll get off at once and have a look.

End nanxi river.

Three villages, this time just a cursory tour, each for an hour, failed to go in, chat with the villagers, and enjoy their farming and reading culture. Although there are regrets, even if you have passed the superficial eye addiction, you will still be glad that you have come. Even if you linger on the scenery, you should return to life. It is because it is rare to see, so it is so yearning and cherished.
