For me personally, never did not have a trip like this: it is to large capacity, full of sense of my travel, professional sense, the sense of all the passion of love.
Now, though, I can see, more and more.
98.11.24
Seven years ago in the summer, I took my beloved woman Y, for the first time the true meaning of tourism.
Since then travel on into my first hobby. In the absence of love, when independence became a habit of travel.
This should be my first travels, very short, but some childish. But I do not want to make any modifications to the text below, just let it to retain the original appearance seven years ago.
Since then, walking and writing.

Xi Yi-line
1. Wedge
2094 mid-summer, we traveled Xiang Xie Yi Xi, Anhui ancient land. The emblem of the ancient Xi Yan, Tang Yue's arch, Doosan Street Residence, Yuliang's Street, like a calm thick, stranded in our minds; ancient Yi of quartzite, Xidi group of ancient dwellings, like the Phi the sleeping beauty yarn, spun with our imagination. They melodious our thoughts, the difficulty was waving a long time.
2. Select
The origin of the idea stems from young people uneasy restlessness. We always want to do something in the summer, a little or a little weight gain; so we while earning some money for the journey while Couchu ready to walk out in Beijing, out of the city.
Consistency of a similar character and architectural concept, so we have chosen Xi Yi Land: This is intertwined with the rich and the poor, from memory, the classical gray tone, they presented to us fruitful.
Out of the city is an easy. Cities always mean a confrontation with nature and even the annihilation of nature in shambles. People from nature, nature has a natural sense of intimacy and dependency; people's charm often lies in not a natural part of social stereotypes. Traditional lines of the city's chaotic superficial and noisy atmosphere, but it is the accumulation of human civilization thousands of years we enjoy places. Therefore, we aspire to cities, eager to highly developed urban civilization to live, but it can not and refuse to even himself, will belong to their own share of their own is a natural delivery of the cities.
We admire and close thousands of years through natural selection of human wisdom and ancient houses made of co-crystals, they are in respect of nature and become a natural form of industrial civilization, under the premise of the former city. They are a modern city as a basis for the interpretation of the origin and nature of the textbook. They can explain the building, and tell us almost all the architectural significance. This architecture perspective and we have chosen a concentration of ancient Huizhou dwellings: Shexian, Yixian County.
We also have a more extravagant ideas - to look at the dry mountainous areas of Yunnan à ?-style architecture, mountain-style architecture; to go far Xinjiang Kashgar to see raw soil architecture - there is a crazy idea, to traveled in Tibet, even die there is also readily confessed.
3. The process of
The Shexian the train, we have become far more relaxed and excited. Because the dream is a step by step into a little bit against the real life. From the depths of a body cavity to spread the impulse and passion to stimulate an insolent manner we want to roar. - While we were eolian rush of more than 30 hours. This is a quite significant in our beginning, it indicates some kind of an inevitable future.
From the humble five-a-bed out of a private hotel, well-meaning people tell us: Shexian look at the arch, Yi Xian to see houses. Decided to reduction in expenses and strive to stay more days, more than draw some sketches.
Shexian is up to all kinds of meta-arch areas. As much as eight small city Shi Yuzuo the arch, there is the only eight-column stone arch, there are a limited number of timber-framed arch nationwide. -Type system of rich and varied conception of their differences. The multi-arch stand the Ming and Qing dynasties, Xiao Jing Biao's Day, Chung Descois officer. Even in the humble cottage break many of the numerous small villages, will be unexpectedly stood a model system for the stone arch Teruhiro.
St. Paul is the people side, under the arch is the Tiaodan or basket carried on a small street vendor, as a means of animation with a timeless: as a triangular stability supported by stone lions solemn majesty of the small street vendor's intimate smile, as well as next to the others to step over the threshold of light across the children's twitter Ding ......
Doosan Shexian Street, Yuliang Village is a collection of ancient dwellings of Huizhou. Doosan Street have been listed as key national heritage conservation units. Streets full of ancient houses, small houses exquisite and uniquely pervasive ingenuity; large courtyard Qiyuxuanang indeed is surely Hou's door is like the sea. Walking in the ancient streets, flanked by one cases of small building a wooden structure, or brick wooden bucket and felt relaxed and happy - like himself and did a superposition of history.
Shexian the ink-stone and the couplet international reputation, where we can feel the rich culture. Gu Xi Yi of the land to Chile in business to business from the text to the text entering political stratum, to Shi-raising business; path clear and effective. Every one big Zhaizi have possession of the strange stones wood, Jane ink splendor. Main room is more common when the famous Ming and Qing calligrapher, painter's authentic.
We spent 56 days in Shexian, then go to the Yixian; bumps most of the day, we found in the mountains is the Tao Qian reportedly depicted the Peach Blossom Spring Xidi old villages.
Xidi ancient village built in the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor Yu-year period, developed in the Ming Dynasty Jingtai years, the peak in the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng and Qianlong peace and prosperity, dating back 940 years. Huang is located in the southern foot of an ancient village in Shanxi Province, Qingxi return calm and refreshing scenery, the existing ancient Ming and Qing dynasties, when more than 120 residential blocks. This has 99 lanes of the villages have seen all plaster gray tiles, brick wooden bucket.
It is hard to imagine in such a remote valley with such great wealth, such a thick culture.
We were deeply shocked ......
4. Piece of a jigsaw
Restricted to the initial contact with such a deep residential culture, we can sum up the more superficial Huizhou combination of residential space, effective use of architectural modeling in order that the other readers.
Xi Yi residential, Huizhou architecture is the synthesizer. From the entrance point of view, the door of Huizhou houses a unified struggle, not Corbel brick gate bucket, a wooden structure that is cantilevered door bucket; door bucket shape is similar, with the rich and poor, class sizes are different but not 1. Small 1 door bucket, modeling exquisite, light solemn. The door of a wealthy family bucket, usually has a very complicated art of brick carving. Stepping outside the door and the entrance is a large bluestone block. ----- Yixian's "Yi" is the word "black and more" consolidation, which means a lot of bluestone. The external walls of large houses often have little windows, small window there is also the pick Corbel units, which enriched the facade, but also the Zhe Yu. The entire wall is a masonry structure, the internal case of wooden structure buildings, about the ancient buildings, "Fire Safety Code" and "anti-theft standards." Daughter wall simple Corbel, gable puzzle out a large portion of the roof, commonly known as "Fenghuoshan wall", that is beautiful, but also the nature of the ground fire units. Every building components, are the perfect combination of practical and aesthetic. Bizarre than the shape of modern architecture to philosophy is much more simple and much much more sophisticated.
Xi Yi residential indoor conditions can be completely written in a textbook. We can only gasp in admiration. Xidi the oldest existing houses of Ming Tak Tong, for example: one beam, QT format, inventiveness, step on the second floor frame-type system, melons column, flat sampan struggle, Chashou, Ding Ming Dynasty Huizhou with the first arch are all residential areas architectural features. Space Xilian practical Miaojue grow wild, spacious letters have degrees, maneuvers; its portfolio of innovative and efficient. Detail at every turn, elegant, sash, beams, etc. are all Seiko fine art of cutting the wood. Courtyard to the building to bring the magic lighting effect, placed flowers and large underground days, quartzite under a special gutter; rain, the wind does not enter; sitting in church is being looked at the rain Chui bead curtain, plants green, almost the same poetry in mood.
Huizhou architecture, numerous artisan repeated scrutiny, has formed a complete type system. A large mansion, there are 36 courtyard, 108 rooms, 360 windows. Flat strict and orderly.
5. Bitter there is music
Every morning meal began to paint, and often paint a forgotten lunch. Eat dinner altogether.
Mid-summer heat, the sun sinister, from time to time to eat Jieshu medicine. Addition of mosquitoes and poison, we have the legs are all "ups and downs"; Y legs were mosquito bites began to flow thick packet of water, she also muddy do not care.
And bought two straw hat shading, but also with each other, "offering each other cigarettes starting a fire" praised "pretty."
A bath full of cold water, but also another door.
Remember Yu Liang, noon to Y to buy a bowl of local snacks, and she sat on the adobe bricks clean sweep of land to eat his shirt, I saw the sweat on her face, legs of the package, immediately easily have been deeply moved, and then is good for a while pained.
Each night, take a look at each other's paintings, it is still very success smile. Thirty copies of sketches, there is an adequate harvest, there is a wide range of real progress has been achieved Xi Yi's visit, but also to talk about pain?
Moreover, with the first time, you certainly have a second ......
94.9.8 finalized
(We use these paintings, an exhibition in the school office. Graduated two years later, back to school, come there are still people recognize me that the exhibition is one of the authors. But at that time, I have started a journey alone.)
