The "Chaji Ancient Village" with a long Qiaoqiaoxi is a unique and beautiful scenery on the Sichuan-Tibet line in southern Anhui.

Our trip to the Sichuan-Tibet line in southern Anhui came to Chaji Ancient Village in Jingxian County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province. Formerly known as Cha, his ancestral home is here.

The ancient village of Chaji was founded in the Tang Dynasty with a history of 1600 years. There are more than 200 ancient buildings in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Cenxi, Xu Xi and Xi Shi flow through the village, surrounded by beautiful winding mountains.

Although there are many bridges in the ancient village, each has its own attitude, and the beauty of some bridges is unforgettable.

Walking up the stream, I was attracted by the first stone bridge I met head-on-the "God of Wealth Bridge". This is a beautiful bridge with a "painting style", which means "water and money don't go away"

On the bridge is the "zhaobi" with gray tiles and white walls, with the words "Purple gas comes from the east" written on it, next to the "God of Wealth Building", a beautiful tree leans against the bridge, and a clear stream flows under the bridge.

"Tiansheng Bridge", viewed from the bottom of the bridge, is "two bridges", and the decks are connected into a whole. It was built by two brothers for their mother's filial piety, which means that "brothers are connected and of the same origin", which embodies the traditional virtue of family harmony.

I have seen many bridges in the south of the Yangtze River, but this bridge is particularly moving.

There is a "Red Mansion Bridge" in "Network Celebrity", which is called "curtain of dreams" because vines hang gracefully on the water.

This bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years. It is named after three "red buildings" built at the top of the bridge.

When we got there, it was in direct sunlight, and there was no beautiful image of "a curtain of dreams" in the backlight;

Walking to the other side of the bridge, the road surface and bridge opening just form a "crescent moon", together with the newly restored legendary "Red Chamber" and a green plantain next to it, which becomes a "stroke of genius" in this picture.

Friends in the same industry know that the location of a family in the village is the "best scenic spot". We saw the panorama of the ancient village on the upstairs platform and took the iconic panorama of the "ticket".

Looking down from here, we can see rows of gray houses. The "Horse Head Wall" is striking white under the blue sky, and the flying cornices are beautiful. The mottled walls with a sense of time tell the story of time. A wisp of light smoke in the distance adds a hazy aesthetic feeling. The stream that passes through the village separates those alleys, and the village surrounded by mountains looks simple and quiet.

The buildings in the whole village are white walls with gray bricks and tiles in different shades.

It turns out that in ancient times, colors were graded. Although you have accumulated a lot of wealth in business, you can't paint buildings with "colored" carved beams. And those "black, white and gray" tones can actually show the "simple beauty" of the atmosphere and advanced.

The famous Huizhou "three sculptures"-wood carving, stone carving and brick carving, have been used to the extreme in various houses.

There are many ancient buildings with exquisite patterns in the village, and personally, two of them are quite special.

1, Baogong Temple, a feast of sculpture.

Baogong Temple, also known as Dunsutang, was built in the Ming Dynasty to commemorate Cha Baoyuan, the fifth ancestor of ZTE. Luo, head of the National Ancient Architecture Expert Group, spoke highly of the sculptures here, saying that their attainments are "comparable to the Forbidden City".

This quadrangle is exquisitely laid out and built according to the model designed by Zhu in "Family Gifts".

After entering the door is the "Minglun Hall", which is a place for ethnic minorities to sacrifice and discuss. The walls on both sides are "Zhu style" and "loyalty, filial piety and benevolence" respectively.

The courtyard of Sanjin is a "bedroom" and a place to worship ancestral tablets. Carved stone arch bridge has a sense of solemnity. Looking up at the square patio, I was suddenly enlightened.

2. Jill Temple, the family style of Hanlin, is unusual.

Standing on the street corner of Gil Temple, I was fascinated by its cornices and exquisite carvings.

This ancestral hall was built to commemorate the "Cha Qibao" of ZTE VI Group. The wood carvings and stone carvings in the temple are carefully carved, and "seeing the wood but not the bricks" is its unique architectural style.

During the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, Cha Bingjun of this village was admitted to imperial academy on 1898, and was appointed as Jishi Shu of imperial academy with the second place in the imperial examination, hence the name of the second-class temple.

Cha Qian (1996- 1975), son of Cha Bingjun, is a famous physicist and educator.

Cha Quanxing (1925—20 19), son of Cha Qian, is an academician of China Academy of Sciences and an electrochemical scientist. 1977 the resumption of the national college entrance examination has played a role in his initiative as a scientist.

The deeper feeling of this exquisite building is the awe-inspiring "style of study" handed down from generation to generation. Hanlin himself and his descendants are both "learned" and "just" people, and education and ideas are more precious than wealth.

Walking through the Gu Xiang, from time to time, we will meet a woman wearing a cheongsam or an ancient costume shooting a large film, and a painter is sketching with an easel on the roadside.

The sunshine in autumn is warm and bright. Under the blue sky, the gray-white houses are simple and quiet, and the colorful Woods are hidden by the quietly flowing river. There is an old woman making tofu by the river.

Life in the village is wonderful.

Persimmons hang brightly on the branches, with clear blue sky as the background, and the veins of dead branches extend around, becoming a "natural picture scroll";

There should be many "lotus" here, and there are stalls selling red and white lotus seeds. In a hollow woven bamboo basket, there are red and green lotus leaves, which are very beautiful, like a basket of "natural works of art";

Chestnuts are produced in the mountains, and there are stalls selling chestnuts from time to time along the way. The small "Castanea henryi" is placed in a bamboo basket, which is also a "work of art" inadvertently placed by the owner.

Life in the village is carefree.

There are not many tourists here, but there are "aborigines" living in ancient houses, who live their own leisurely lives; The dog wagging its tail walked slowly through the alley, showing the tranquility and happiness like a peach blossom garden everywhere.

This is a quaint village that has not been disturbed by commercialization. It is comfortable and quiet here, and the cultural scenery has its own characteristics. This is its most fascinating place and the most meaningful place to travel.
