A strange village in the mountains of Hebei, built entirely of stone, with an ancestor of the famous Yu Qian

The heavenly road, this word we are more than familiar with. The earliest time the heavenly road describes the road to Tibet, "this is a magical heavenly road feed", a "heavenly road" to the beautiful snowy plateau in front of our eyes. Later, many places will put a landscape avenue called the sky road. There is also such a heavenly road in Jingfu, winding through the Taihang Mountains, connecting many attractions around.

The Jingfu Sky Road is nearly 60 kilometers long, connecting 26 ancient villages in Xiulin Town, Yujia Town, Tianchang Town, and South Barrier Town. The most representative ones are belonging to Home Stone Village, South Hengkou Village, Xiaolongwu Village, Lujia Village and Daliangjiang Village. Along the way, there are also many post stations, each of which has its own characteristics, such as Luanjiaoyao post station, Tashipo post station, Taihang Ancient Town post station and so on, and this road has also become a landmark project of the whole region of the well-fixed self-driving tour system.

The various ancient villages connected by the Jingfu Sky Road can be said to have their own characteristics and history. Each of them is worth a visit.

South Hengkou Village is the origin of the four major kilns in Hebei - the Jingfu Kiln, Xiaolongwu Village is the village with the characteristics of Shanxi's residential houses that was selected as one of the first batch of traditional villages in China in 2012, Lvjia Village is the village where Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping commanded the famous Changshengkou Ambush Battle in 1938, and Dalianguangjiang Village is the village that has been regarded as Hebei's Qiaojia compound of the place.

Today we are going to talk about the Yu Jia stone village, there is a poem we learned in elementary school, "a thousand hammers and ten thousand chisels out of the mountains, the fire burns as if idle. I'm not afraid of breaking my bones, I want to leave my innocence on earth." Many of my friends only remember this poem, but may not remember the author of this poem. Yu Jia stone village is the author of this poem, the famous politician of the Ming Dynasty national hero Yu Qian's descendants residence.

Speaking of Yu Qian, the first thing that may come to the mind of many people is the famous Deyunsha Master Yu, no matter whether it is the modern Yu Qian or the Ming Dynasty Yu Qian, in the era they belonged to is a very famous character.

Yu Qian was a well-known figure in the Ming Dynasty, and was the first time-saving prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. His life can be described as ups and downs, especially after the change of Tumu Fortress, stabilized the situation and made great achievements, and became a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Although Yu Qian loyal, but in the end did not have a good ending, was framed, died of injustice, and even children and grandchildren are implicated.

His children and grandchildren in order to avoid the disaster, came to this vast Taihang in the middle, and since then in this place to flourish, after hundreds of years, leaving a colorful, that is, we see today the Yu family stone village.

Yu Jia Stone Village is located in Jingfu County, more than 95% of the village is the Yu family. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian's eldest grandson, Yu Youdao, moved here from Nanyu Village in Jingfu, and has been reproduced for 24 generations, with more than 400 households and 1600 people.

Stone Village, as the name suggests, is a village made of stones, which is extremely shocking when you look at it. The village **** has six streets, seven alleys and eighteen hutongs, a total length of more than 3700 meters, all paved with green stone, the streets and alleys connected to the stone houses have more than 4000.

We walked in the streets and lanes of the stone village, as if wandering in the sea of stone, Yu Qian Memorial Hall, Museum allows us to understand the history of the stone village and a generation of loyal minister Yu Qian in detail. The village stone house stone courtyard, stone building stone pavilion, stone tables and benches, stone grinding stone mill, stone streets and stone alleys, as long as you can see, touch, all are stone, as if it is that "a thousand hammers and thousands of chiseling out of the mountains, the fire burns as if waiting for the best performance," from the construction of the village to the character of the people, are very tough.

Hundreds of years of unchanged appearance, people can not help but feel into the history of the green stone walls, gray tile roof, ancient colors, elegant and common. The biggest feature of the stone village is not to see the village, the whole village is located in the depression, on both sides are the rolling Taihang. Driving here, there will be a kind of "dark flowers and a village" feeling.

Although the stone village is located in the mountains, but by the ancestor of Yu Qian's influence, deep cultural heritage, cultural relics can be found everywhere, legends and anecdotes magical novelty, the most cultural taste to count a variety of stone monuments, building schools, repairing ancestral halls have a monument to build wells and repair pools have a monument to repair bridges to mend the road has a monument to build a pavilion temple has a monument to the Ming and Qing Dynasties **** left behind more than 200 pieces of stone monuments. Each piece is the legacy of history, all for future generations of research to provide a handful of resources.

Today, the well-traveled sky road is like a dragon in the mountains, connecting large and small villages in the mountains, countless ancient villages into the people's field of vision, leading to the development of tourism, but also let the people in the mountains to further poverty alleviation and enrichment. The colorful lines themselves have become a very beautiful landscape.

With the development of tourism, a lot of problems have been exposed, tickets and a variety of ancillary facilities, whether or not they can do the best, and then need to go step by step to improve. Tourism is a need for long-term development of the industry, I hope that Shijiazhuang each developed scenic spots can leave a good tour experience for tourists, can spread our history and culture, so that more people know.
