Shexian, Yixian County, Tunxi. Our travel schedule, the three destination names which have two uncommon words. Shexian's "Xi" reading she Qu Sheng, Yi Xian's "Yi" Reading yi yinping. Shexian, Yixian County, and is Tunxi Ancient Huizhou, is the center of Huizhou culture. The arch, horse wall, dignified atmosphere of the ancestral hall of the Confucian Merchants are Tantubusu, Huizhou so Inklings to dim in my mind. Gentle, Laochengchizhong, place names where the uncommon words - Huizhou and alienates us coldly.
Perhaps only into the hinterland of Huizhou culture, in order to let the gray tiles and white walls of the buildings in our eyes to life, in order to let that old is too young and Huizhou in our hearts warm to revive.
Tunxi Old Street is the journey's first foothold Tunxi. It is now the center of the city of Huangshan city, but the locals stubbornly call it the original name of "Tunxi", "Huangshan City as" surprisingly not to hear. "This has been the economic and cultural center of Huizhou, a large, lively", we slowly Anhui Speed explained the guide, is a glowing Olympus of expression.
Dinner is a street in the city center the hotel restaurant to eat. Food taste not bad, looking around the Gongchoujiaocuo the crowd outside the window of a busy central square, Dengying blur, Ambilight makes trance night under the bustling southern city exposure. After the fond, it was suggested that better go now to the streets, anyway, very close from here. Both hands and map Chuanjiezouxiang, a bunch of curious strangers broke into the emblem on the streets thick taste.
The night is all the more calm and dark. Street brown linen printed on both sides of the stone path pane wood upstairs projection, increasingly clear and lovely. Is hard to notice people walking above the ground gently up and walked while looking up, always want to know what the beautiful wood paintings, they are not also have a beautiful name? This is a sweet-scented osmanthus window, it is Binglie map; This is a very happy, it is seasonal flowers ... ... Just look at the wooden pane has been crazy to see drunk people watching, there was about a friend can not help but inquire about the house renovation a new set of chisel's "Four Seasons blooming" four windows, how much money, small boss asking price is 300 yuan a can full, you can also split buy, a friend was very tempted for a while. With four long wood travel? If it were not we repeatedly told her Chen-interest, "Four Seasons blooming" now embedded in a certain friend's boudoir, uphold the antique.
Street is a commercial street, selling things mostly tourist souvenirs, local native. The words "Huangshan tourism" wide along the cap, trimmed with leading hiking stick is not particularly moved by our wallets, while the color of a gentle knocking sound Inkstone, fragrant smell of ink and fine texture of the Hui Mo, as well as pampas grass flourishing thin tenacity of rice paper, it is not help but love the Heart. Rosewood pegged penholder, ah, blue and white porcelain of the sign off mountains ah, the nunnery Shence giving her a double-hammerhead study laying out the paper ink, Way back himself into the ancient scholars, in the Zhuyingyaohong Jiyangwenzi under the screens.
See the mountains, the waters and human, the human is Duhou the streets. Into their stores, mostly laid-back attitude of the owner misjudge the situation, do not rush over to Ji Houhou introduce such a briefing about as warm as the desert sun, can scare away people. Even if the shop yard had been around asking questions to say that for a long time but nothing to buy, sure I'm some apologetic, but look back to the shop owner is still smiling, standing in the doorway to say "Oh, next time," is behind Warm orange lights appearing in a circle ripples. Who have the heart to refuse such a loving invitation?
Wander, linger, linger. The central square of the city of acoustic noise faintly discernible, into the recesses of history, we ourselves have become indistinct. Street end of the walk is already closing hours. Glory of those who looked at sequential bleak, needlessly sadly.
Die Tan Tang dry garden landscape on the way to the Tang Ning Jingyi people die along the way to the village's name is derived from exactly where. Guide describes the two versions: one refers to "a model village of Tang Dynasty"; in another way, "according to the Tang Dynasty built a model village." In the end is a model or a model's first not-just "Tang" should have been cause for blood boil.
Sure enough, did not disappoint Guzhang a lush tree entrance to the village to see that unusual. Thick black trunks placed at an angle to the surface of the water interjection, posture, exactly between the inverted and non inverted; luxuriant foliage of the crown is the umbrella of the Yibing Cui, sneaking into the cool shade listening to Dan dry streams that gurgle and flow of mood on the ethereal Yuxiu up. Hey, obviously camphor, how the pieces hang above the "old locust tree" of the wooden plaque? The original in the film "Angel Will match" inside, to the Dong and seven of the Huai Yin tree fairy matchmaker is it to "starred" in. Make life difficult for crew to find here, really do not know which tree it is more suitable than the "role" of the.
After a "compatriot Hanlin," the arch, along a dry stream Tan's "Road Scholar" move forward quickly to the dry sandalwood another scenic park is located: a small lake. Is said to be the time the Qing Dynasty, Tang Xu mold a surname of Huizhou merchants to allow elderly mothers day accompanied with beautiful West Lake, Hangzhou West Lake, made specifically simulate this "Huizhou West Lake" and countryman alike. Lake in the "Mirror Pavilion" surrounded by water, booth collection of 18 ancient masters of calligraphy and stone carvings, Su Shi, Zhao Mengfu, Wen Zhengming, Cai Xiang, Huang Ting-jian, Dong Qichang, and even that lone marked disdain for Zhu Da, a in the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting are in the name of stirring wind and thunder at the moment quiet standing, deeply shallow nicks, but it is now the magnanimous Bi fiber cents.
Garden a Xiaoxuan the window, the four small children to sit quietly strip bench, they had straight backs, small hands behind his back holding, looking at the front of a small blackboard. "They and the other teachers come to class then!" Said tour guide. Here is the original model village, child care classrooms Tang Tang die before the children go to school will focus on pre-primary education here. "How much is tuition? If parents do not send their children to come Xiangui how to do?" "My children every day to learn? Will too difficult?" Everyone rushes to ask questions, tour guides and a an answer: "This preschool class is not only recently, so that the traditional construction of the village from the Tang Dynasty began. Tang Hanlin mold out of the village from generation to generation, re-knowledge, love of reading has been a village consensus. precisely because of emphasis on indoctrination, parents all very happy to sent their children to learn, they do not have to worry about the financial burden of the children come to school free of charge. teachers are responsible for the village requested, and pay special funds allocated by the village bear. "" This is the oldest of four children a few the youngest is two years old, according to their age, let them learn the "Three Character Classic" and "The Analects of Confucius". "and the chattering of adults compared to those of us that four sat down more like the babe is respectful and polite gentlemen, they are not noisy no trouble, eyes Cheng Jing clear.
"Man's nature is good ... ..." The kids with the sound of loud reading the book sound off for us. "Don Die village social atmosphere is good, closed at night households, Lubushiyi; young and old order, the parent Zi Xiao and therefore I is called model villages." Tour guide's explanation echoed ears, we finally understand the reason: the tenacious fight against centuries of tradition, the vicissitudes 10000 change in the blood of Confucianism on the potential of those young kids. The city's children at this time to learn what is it? Piano, computers, painting, English, or what is not science, in their parents arms like a baby bar. I would not help but think they do grow up will be at a loss? Find their roots do?
Hongcun if the whole of Huizhou picturesque, Hongcun should be the sum of one red-letter.
Remember, "Crouching Tiger" inside the stone bridge over the White Horse Li Mubai holding of that scene do? Toyama, such as Dai, gray path into a trough Wang Yan-Avon is divided into two, long clothing Piaofei followed the knight behind the BMW, look deep, and looked depressed. This picturesque place, it is Hongcun.
Have gone through the bridge Limu Bai Qian white horse, and we closely follow the guide forward. This was built in the Southern Song Shaoxi years old cow-shaped village water system, the entire village terrain like wau-entrenched, a kilometer-long canal is surrounded by the village, through every household, it is the "cow intestines", because the village roads complex, had just arrived to the stranger is often disoriented. Your eyes stare back tour forward, right foot moved to the left to evade the beauty of college students paint a time it really awkward position, no wonder the village women are also laundry at home in front of the face lift to laugh.
In this way 100 to switch back to 1000, and finally came to a spacious location: half-moon pond level as a mirror, reflected upside the heavy piles of horse wall, many-hued walls, solemn stately ancestral halls, as well as coming and going of people. Watched for, even on hard to tell where the true Where is unreal, staring in the water that world, everything is so lifelike, but finger point, it Shude waves opened ... ...
Frankly, there are "civil Palace," said Hall did not give me anything else left a particularly deep impression. Depicts the complexity of wood steeplechase ah, outline in gold painting of the beams, QT ah, if not a photo to testify, I almost can not remember what terms. Full House's riches and honor eyeful of Jewelry around the peak to the Huizhou merchants to do the most intuitive graphic, it is lamented, but not touched.
Daoshi like a small souvenir shop before the village street, the villagers self-made bamboo head teapot. A stout bamboo two truncated, to blue, green top with two shares spiral into a raised pot with bamboo Faso, lid of the bamboo is dug Napian diaphragm, plug in a small bamboo stick, with thin hemp rope bolt in the Ti Liang side. Royal Coffee Pot, pot beams, lid, spout, and both are bamboo, not metal, they do not plastic. Royal Coffee Pot is white, pot beam of green, pot of height, fat, thin, looking ahead, the whole street that no two the same as selling one. Natural good luck, came out of the natural, and from where you can copy it?
Zhu Ge double eaves and is certainly admirable, but a large fortune, "mad"; than hailed a green white bamboo pot, a monthly night at the Hongcun pick bits of earth gentle.
The arch, of course, Huizhou shrine a major component of landscape, but I do not want to go with the thin and delicate touch of the pen behind the Hui-heavy. When the human desire was "chastity" into a thousand years of suppression of the stone, let us not lament the brilliant architecture, but life's vicissitudes and desolate.
That we are more willing to appreciate the quieter emotional Huizhou, Huizhou that honest tough. Mild in the classical era of Huizhou, Huizhou live in reality.
