To Hongcun was accidental. Often go to bars, I've met a few friends, listen to them talk in Huizhou customs, the Ming and Qing architecture, as well as all kinds of interesting things, gradually, a very local and historical and cultural atmosphere of a small village on the show in my mind, so look forward to appreciation of the body near the ground and feelings.
However, only after that went to, regardless of how to be good at describing these friends, their speech in front of Hongcun real landscapes, are looked pale and poor.
Hongcun, was built in South Song Shaoxi years to reach its peak the Ming and Qing. The entire village to retain the majority of the Ming and Qing architecture. White walls and black tiles, scattered high and low, among the pines bamboo, set off with a block of buildings carved pavilions. In addition to these well-preserved ancient buildings, the Hongcun especially her unique planning and architecture is known. The whole village is based on the shape and structure of cattle planning to build, from the heights overlooking, just like a water buffalo contend lying on the side of mine post. Cattle, has always been farm labors which interest-bearing animals, hard-working, docile and tenacity. The Hongcun planning an ox model, which has somehow implies a creator of hope, and encouragement for future generations. Entrance to the village two tall red maple and white fruit trees, surrounded by a small village lying Xixi on the four bridges, as well as the twists and turns and flows through every household across the whole village in front of the small drains and Bibo Wang a month marsh in turn constitutes a horn, cattle legs, cow intestines and cow stomach. The ingenious layout, plan reasonable, works fine, it is amazing.
Stroll the village, often a kind of illusion through time and space, like entering paradise described by Tao Yuan-ming. However, there really was a paradise, on the winding mountain road into the Hongcun, cars will pass through a hole, then the above screamed "Yuen Tung." Local customs are simple, and advocating reading by duplication, and cultural atmosphere is extremely strong, this should be a culture of several centuries from generation to generation the history of sedimentation. Village of the south, there is a lake, Yue-South Lake. Water clear, the leaves Tada, when there are ducks play them. Sit north to south lake located in the famous "South Lake College." College is more dignified and solemn building materials used rigorous demonstration of the villagers at that time the value of reading. In such a small village, located in the College such a large-scale, can not help but feeling.
Hundreds of ancient villages, but now the number has also been changed. The impact of commodity society they feel has been here. However, in terms of relative to other places, there has been considered as a clean place. The street sells small gifts and crafts, the price is very cheap, scarves, bamboo, usually a few dollars can deal. We live in a village-owned hotels, the so-called hotel, originally a Ming Dynasty architecture, two-story structure, with a small garden, a typical Huizhou dwellings. Dubbed: "Habitat charities", I would think that the words "Habitat Yitang" seems more appropriate, Gein cheap, comprehensive services, and sleep in so have fun and antiques inside, this is easier said than done in other places. After dinner, sitting in the garden, drinking the mist tea farmers from the grill, and a few friends from different places in God talk, watching the sky full of l'etoile, this leisure, fairy much better than this! Hehe.
For many years there is no such quiet sleep, wake up, the sun came in from the windows, throwing, only heard the birds outside, in the call.
