Impression Lyric Prose of Anhui Hongcun in Huali Village

The picture is a village, and the picture is a village. This is my true impression and heartfelt thanks after my trip to Hongcun, Anhui Province.

Hongcun was founded in the Shao Xi period of the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D.1190-1194), with a history of more than 900 years. Hongcun covers an area of about 30 hectares, and there are more than 40 well-preserved Huizhou ancient dwellings in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are simple and elegant and full of interest.

Hongcun, whose back is close to Yangzhanling and Leigang Mountain in the remaining veins of Huangshan Mountain, looks higher and has a wider field of vision. In front of the village is the calm, clear and beautiful South Lake water. The mountains outside the village are along the water's edge, and small villages are often shrouded in mist and light smoke, showing a myriad of weather in the myriad changes of clouds and clouds. Let the small village sometimes calm, sometimes dignified, sometimes simple, sometimes solemn; Sometimes, it is as dense as splashing ink, light and soothing, which makes people look at it, just like a long scroll of landscape and countryside slowly unfolding in front of people, which makes people beautiful, stop and marvel, and make people linger. Therefore, for a long time, Hongcun, as the most beautiful village in China, has the reputation of "village in painting".

Hongcun's earliest name was Hongcun. According to the "Wang Family Tree" in the village, it was called "Hongcun" at that time because it was "Tai Yi Elephant" due to the expansion of the village. It was not until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that it began to change its name to Hongcun. Looking down from the mountain in front of the village, the image of the whole Hongcun village is like an old cow lying down, and the image is excellent.

Believe it or not, if the towering Leigang Mountain is a bull's head, then the towering old trees on the mountain are horns; From east to west, those randomly arranged Huizhou folk houses are like the huge bodies of cattle; Looking down again, the four stone bridges built by people on the rivers and streams around the village are as lifelike as four solid supports.

Walking in Hongcun, we saw a clear spring, which shed the blood of cattle. Clear and winding ravines, like the "intestines" of cattle, are winding and fascinating. After flowing through the moon pool named Niuwei, the stream continues to flow to the South Lake named Niuwei at the entrance of the village, which irrigates and nourishes Hongcun people's pasture and contributes their life and wisdom. The ingenious water system design of Hongcun people not only solved all kinds of water problems for the villagers, but also played a role in regulating the temperature in the village, providing greater convenience for the villagers' production and life, and even created a good living environment of "there is a clear spring in front of every house, and the stream is not prevented from flowing far away". Here, "mountains are green because of water, and water lives because of mountains." In order to irrigate the fields against fire, Hongcun's ancestors creatively pioneered bionic architecture and built an artificial water system, which can be called "a must in China". It is a layout feature that Hongcun is different from other ancient residential buildings to integrate natural landscape and humanistic connotation and make them reflect each other. Therefore, today we might as well stand at the height of architecture. Hongcun is really "a great miracle in the history of architecture" in China today.

Walking through the stone arch bridge on the South Lake, the first thing you see is the majestic South Lake Academy. A pair of couplets is engraved on the colonnade in front of the door, saying, "The ground is close to Huangshan Mountain, and Wenfeng is towering, and the building welcomes the South Lake to explore." After reading it, people can't help thinking, so they fall into a situation of endless images.

Nanhu Academy, formerly known as the Sixth Courtyard of Hu Yi, consists of six different private schools near Nanhu. In the 19th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 14), the six academies merged, hence the name "Literature and Art Family School", also known as "Nanhu Academy". The Academy consists of Knowing Hall, Wenchang Pavilion, Huiwen Pavilion, Kaiwu Pavilion, Wanghulou and Tanyuan Garden. A lake and clear water reflect the academy, and any conjoined building connects the academy, which is the weather today. She has a white wall, majestic and solemn. It contrasts with the lakes and mountains in front of the door, and with the clear water and blue sky. The scenery is spectacular. The blue bricks and gray tiles in the courtyard and the horse-head wall between pavilions and pavilions highlight a warm and unique taste and have a traditional Huizhou architectural style.

After coming out of Nanhu Academy, turn left and meander 100 meters in the roadway, and you will come to Lexiutang, the ancestral temple of Hongcun people. There are three couplets engraved on the colonnade of Xu Le Hall: the first couplet is the Mianshize of Kikai Leigang, with the green tassels of Yue State on it. The historical origin and development of the Wang family in Hongcun.

Read the couplet "Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil?" . It is not difficult to find that Hongcun people are broad-minded, open-minded and rigorous in life from the perspective of self-denial, perseverance, and inaction. Yes, the most difficult thing to do in a person's life is to overcome his demons and control his selfish desires, so that such a person can be called self-denial. When doing good, don't be small, because doing good and accumulating virtue is never determined by the size of things.

Starting from Lexutang, we came to some old houses, such as Jingdetang, Jingxiutang, Dongxiantang, Sanlitang, Xurentang and Chengzhitang. They are either spectacular. Or simple and dignified; Or finely carved; Or grand. Coupled with the towering old trees in the courtyard and the spread of ivy on the wall, we are brought into a dream that seems to be true and unreal, and we are ecstatic. We turned around and recited the names of those halls. It is not difficult to imagine that respecting virtue is good virtue; Respect for meditation is also a kind of retreat; Success is inheritance; Where is Li San? It refers to the three merits that a person should strive to achieve in his life: standing up, standing up and being moral. As the saying goes, if the speaker thinks twice, he will lose. Say what people say, what people can't say, what people dare not say. This is called a statement; Following this, a walker is brave and resourceful, his words will be carried out and his actions will bear fruit. This is Li Xing. Also known as Lide, should be worthy of the present, for future generations, it is called Lide. From this, it is not difficult to see that Hongcun people have such a rigid nature and solar terms in their bones.

On the way through the halls and houses, I casually wrote these couplets in those halls: "Two straight roads study and cultivate one's morality every day, and two proverbs manage the family diligently;" How happy filial piety is and how delicious it is to chew poetry; Seek fame and gain, Dont Ask For Help. Cherishing clothes and food is not like cherishing wealth and blessing. "

Who says not? There are really only two good ways to go in life, one is to study and the other is to farm. If you don't take these two roads, what good road can you take? If you want to take these two roads well, you must also remember the word thrift. Only thrift is the foundation of housekeeping. We must remember that we must do things by ourselves. As the saying goes, it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. If your father and brother have, you should also seek help yourself. Only you can save yourself, others are unreliable after all. If you only rely on yourself to eat less and wear less to accumulate wealth, you usually value some money, so that you will not be helpless when you encounter difficulties, and you must cherish your good luck.

Walking in Hongcun, wandering in ravines and strolling in village lanes, when we explore the depths of Hongcun, it is not difficult to find that it is really a magical land. People here believe in the ancient motto of farming and reading, abide by the basic principles of being a man, face the extraordinary outside world with a normal heart and look at the extraordinary outside world quietly with a pair of ordinary eyes. What a rare thing! Although this ancient village is isolated from the world, with poor roads and blocked traffic environment, it is as pure and clear as a paradise, quiet and safe. The people here are knowledgeable, polite, wise and shrewd. Therefore, Hongcun, the land of deep mountain peach garden, was later called "Southeast Zou Lu, the land of etiquette".

Wandering in this land, people all feel Hongcun's unique cultural atmosphere and profound humanistic spirit, as well as Hongcun people's grasp of the spiritual dimension, all of which are gradually developing and advancing according to the traditional moral significance of China. Hongcun is really a legendary witness of ancient oriental culture in human history. On the other hand, it is also a typical representative of traditional architecture in China and a shining example of the combination of man and nature.

The picture is a village, and the picture is a village. After a long quiet thinking, I slowly walked out of the picture! Hongcun, Hongcun. The country in the picture!
