Tourism Shouyang Zhou Xia Ancient Village

Shouyang county in Shanxi province has a long history, rich people and long life.

Xiazhou Village, Zong Ai Town, Shouyang, is an ancient village with a history of thousands of years. In the spring of March, the weather is fine, and I came to the ancient village to play.

In the morning, the village is quiet and clean. There are no rotten papers and fallen leaves on the ground, and all the bricks and tiles are placed neatly.

In the easternmost part of the village, there is a Gu Quan called Xixin Spring, but it has dried up.

The heart washing pool is nine feet deep and two feet two in diameter. The blue bricks are built, and the stone strips are indented layer by layer, such as the bright moon reflecting the pool. This spring has a history of hundreds of years and is very beautifully designed.

.

There is also a three-hole stone cave in front, and there are many spring caves under it. I think the spring water gurgled out in those days, which brought blessings and spirituality to the village.

Turn over a new leaf is to turn over a new leaf and feel refreshed.

The most luxurious landlord compound in the village is halfway to Nie's compound. It's amazing when you look at it from the gate. Exquisite hollow brick carving, ten faucets spit beads, very imposing. Also carved with peony, peach, bamboo and grape moire, symbolizing wealth, good fortune and family prosperity. The word "Nafulin" on the front door was written by Qi Yuzao, Shouyang teacher of the Qing emperor.

He often comes here to enjoy the cool and summer, to cultivate his mind and temperament.

Shouzi is carved on both sides of the gate, and each pattern is very delicate.

There are two deep rut marks on the ground, all the way through the courtyard, you can imagine how magnificent Nie's family used to be.

Even the knocker is so delicate that two iron cows are eyeing each other. The eyeball above is still so bright.

The courtyard is deep, with a main house, a private school, a garden and a long factory. On the high wall outside, there is still a horse lock, which says you can borrow it and return it. People in the village can borrow horses from their owners' homes and tie them to the wall when they return them.

There are two big families living in a narrow alley with high walls.

Nieer Ancient Courtyard is still inhabited by descendants of its owners, with a roof shaped like a crane and bright wings.

Three into the courtyard, two floors in the main room, left and right wing rooms, symmetrical houses, patchwork, winding paths leading to a secluded place.

The house pays great attention to geomantic omen, and the descendants of Nie family are mostly Chinese medicine, and their lives are rich and harmonious.

Standing on the second floor of Nieer Ancient Courtyard, you can see that there are many ancient houses with blue bricks and tiles in the village. Most people living in the yard were assigned to land reform, and some people still maintained their original style without lifting the lid.

After several storms, the wooden window frame is still intact, and the light and shadow change like an illusion.

Classical architecture is so beautiful, brick by brick, very attractive.

Step into the small garden, quiet and elegant.

On the hill opposite the village, there is a treasure house of geomantic omen, in which many tall Chinese pine trees are growing.

There is a temple on the top of the mountain. Looking into the distance, you can see the whole Zhouxia village.

Gullies and yellow soil forests are grotesque in nature.

The wild peach blossoms on the mountain are also competing to open.

There are also many ancient courtyards in the nearby town of Zonggai. Whenever guests visit, the host will warmly introduce them.

The courtyard is called Peixin, sitting in the main room, with smooth airflow, broad vision and natural peace of mind.

In the past, the deep house compound was extremely luxurious, and now ordinary people have moved in.

The old people in the village are idle and chatting in the sun. So carefree, carefree, so envious of their lives.
