Impression of Qingtian Ancient Village in Shunde

? (This article is partially compiled according to the villagers' dictation, or it is open to question. )

Qingtian ... a treasure trove of geomantic omen worthy of close reading.

First of all, growing up in the inner room, no one knows her.

I stumbled across an ancient village in Shunde, similar to the famous Daqitou Village in Sanshui.

This village can be said to have grown up in an inner room, and no one knows her. From the village out of the road, the opposite is the so-called Shunde Zhouzhuang Feng Jian Village.

Every holiday, the traffic to visit Fengjian will be blocked for several kilometers, but none of them go around Qingtian.

What a pity bird! What a pity bird!

Qingtian ancient village has eight views of Qingtian:

When I moved to the long street, the century-old trees, the fragrant lotus pond and the jade belt around the village, I will look at the buildings, the Qinglong pier, the green snails and bamboos, and the legacy of the school.

Second, geographical location.

Qingtian Village, Longtan Village, Xingtan Town, Shunde District

Third, history.

According to villagers, Qingtian has a history of more than 500 years.

Qingtian village is surnamed Liu, and there are residual stone strips engraved with the word' Pengcheng' in the village. Pengcheng is the place where Liu Bang started, and all the descendants of Liu Bang take Pengcheng as their witness.

? Liu's two brothers moved from Liu's Ancestral Hall of Longtan Dashe, which gave birth to Liu's villagers today.

Fourth, the layout of villages.

? 1, snail shape

The snail shell found by the pond, the image of the village?

? Qingtian village is like a snail as a whole, and its screw mouth is located in the southwest corner of the village, marked by a pile of bamboo piles, which is called "screw cover (called screw cover in Cantonese)":

? The snail bottom is located in the east of the northeast corner of the village and is called "snail governor (Cantonese governor means bottom)";

? Interestingly, because of snails, villagers in the old society followed the Feng Shui regulations. The house must be muddy, not hard, and the river can't harden. Raising ducks and drilling wells are not allowed in the village to maintain a feng shui environment conducive to the survival of snails.

? There is an ancient figure on this bamboo pile: In those days, Mrs Taigong used three or five old cypress heads as the bottom pile, covered it with pond mud, planted bamboo and cultivated it, forming today's bamboo pile with water conservancy function, which has gone through hundreds of years.

2. Ancient architecture

? The core of Qingtian Village is the ancient architectural complex built in Qing Dynasty, with more than 100 households, mostly blue brick houses.

Qingtian people have attached importance to education since ancient times. In a small village with 100 households, there are two bookstores without ancestral halls:

3. Kowloon Lane

? Houses are arranged neatly, forming nine alleys, all of which are paved with high-grade granite. Every alley runs through the north and south, like nine Wolong, so it is called Jiulong Lane. Because all the alleys lead to the reservoir in front of the village, the villagers also call it' Dragon Play Pearl'.

4. Before Pingba Village and Shifan Long Street:

? To the south of the complex is a flat dam, as wide as the complex. Village flat dam design can generally meet the following needs of residents: sacrificial ceremonies, various banquets, drying crops and other collective activities. ?

? Qingtian people call it Time-shifting Long Street. The street is108m long and10.8m wide, covered with 1800 pieces of granite.

? Brick and stone pavement shows that the owner's economic strength is relatively strong, and it was the paving material on the tall road that year.

5. Superb design of water conservancy facilities

? 1/ ? The direction of the moat water flow is amazing.

? According to the villagers, at the location of Luo Yan, that is, at the entrance of the whole village, there is a hidden dam with many uneven boulders piled on it. After entering Qingtian from the west, Xijiang River water is blocked by a hidden levee, naturally flows to the river in the south, then bypasses the village, crosses the north of the village, and returns to Luo Yan, where the village is the entrance. At the water inlet, the water does not directly flow out of the village, but goes around the bamboo pile, enters the village pier and then flows out of the village. At the same time, the gap formed by tidal fluctuation is used.

This design is reminiscent of Dujiangyan.

You may not be able to explain the mystery clearly here, so you need to consult an expert.

It is said that the water depth at the screw cap and the screw head is more than the height of two people, which is estimated to be the need of water flow design.

2/ ? Docking of external windows

? In ancient times, the dock was the gateway to the water passage, through which goods entered and exited, and the bride had to go ashore from this dock.

? 3/ Qiancun Reservoir

? To the south of Pingba is a pond as wide as the buildings.

The function of the pond is to provide domestic water, adjust environmental humidity, raise fish and lotus roots, and put out fires. A well-designed village in the Pearl River Delta will be equipped with a pond in the south of the village.

? In summer, the pond will be full of lotus flowers, attracting movie friends from all over the world to come here for sex:

Six, five stone heads, three stones, two stones

? In the past, granite (a kind of granite) was an advanced building material for paving roads. Qingtian villagers used to use a few stones to indicate the size of the road.

? It is said that the owners of the village are the Liu brothers, each of whom owns half of the village. The distinguishing sign is that the building part of the flat dam is higher than the bar stone of the flat dam.

The flat dam in front of the village is about three centimeters higher than the flat dam below drip line. There are five stone heads on the pavement, and the corresponding buildings are my brother's property, while the buildings corresponding to the three stone parts are my brother's property. A very interesting sign.

? Others say that five stone slabs belong to the first wife and three stone slabs belong to the concubine. It is said that the big women in the East and the concubines in the West are waiting, or vice versa. . .

Please distinguish carefully. The part three or five centimeters above the ground along the corner is the difference.

Five stone heads:

Three stones:

? Two stones:

? Originally, Huancun Road was made of two stones. Later, in order to pick up the car, the slate road was paved with cement, and the slate was pressed under the cement.

? Kowloon Lane is entirely composed of two stones.

7, moat, Qingtian people call it Yudaihuan Village.

? In the early days, the village was surrounded by rivers, and the villagers led to the outside of the village through four wooden bridges. At night, the wooden bridge boards were put away, and the village was isolated from the outside world, forming a safety circle.

? The river around the village is like the belt of ancient officials; Because there are four bridges, it is also like carrying a child's strap. It is said that only people in the court and Guangdong can use the strap like this. He said it was like a golden dragon with five claws.

8. More floors

Built in the Qing Dynasty, there used to be three turrets, one of which collapsed in the north, and the other two were located on both sides of the village:

The watchtower in the west, banyan trees and turrets live together;

Once, the watchtower was covered with vines, and the villagers were worried about damaging the watchtower, which made the vines fade:

9. Overall layout:

? On the whole, the ancient buildings form a natural village, with the village facing south, and the relationship between the nine alleys and the pond is the pearl of the dragon play. The whole village is surrounded by rivers and ponds, and the design of water supply and drainage is very scientific. No matter from the aspects of safety and fire prevention, convenience of life or geomantic design, the whole layout is perfect, which can not help but admire the superb design and construction level of our ancestors.

It is said that the designer who designed the village smoked opium, and the design reward of the whole village was 8 Jin of opium.

This pattern surrounded by rivers is better than Daqitou Village.

I really want to kneel down to the wisdom of my ancestors' design ideas.

10, the dream of developing tourism

Qingtian, like jade, is a talented person who can carve.

Qingtian is an ancient village with a complete layout of geomantic design and a very high level. Until now, the mystery of its water conservancy construction has not been fully understood. Who designed the village and what was the design idea? . . Still exploring.

? The invasion of ancient buildings by modern buildings is relatively light, the original appearance is relatively complete, there is no pollution from small factories and workshops, the village looks clean and civilized, and the villagers are warm and hospitable. It is worthy of being a typical traditional ancient village in the Pearl River Delta and a good embryo for tourism hotspots.

? It is said that the village has made a tourism plan and will soon start construction. In fact, the inn has been renovated.

I have been decorating the inn and will be able to welcome guests in half a year;

Qingtian scenery:

12, Qingtian development proposal: build a base for photography, painting and wedding photography in ancient villages in the Pearl River Delta.

1/ build an ancient village with green tourism and put an end to pollution.

Prohibit industry from entering the village and put an end to industrial pollution;

Raising funds to build sewage pipe networks and sewage treatment plants;

2. Preserve the architectural features of ancient villages and create original ecological ancient villages.

Put an end to tile veneer, and all old houses can only be rebuilt with blue bricks. Because blue bricks are the characteristics of ancient villages, each tile veneer will devalue the value of ancient villages;

All shops are decorated with traditional materials, antique;

Slate pavement must be completely preserved, and no new cement pavement can be added in the village, because the new cement pavement will also devalue the ancient village;

3. Use one of the private schools to establish Qingtian Museum of History and Folklore to collect cultural relics;

4. Use another private school to establish a painting and calligraphy photography activity room, organize various related activities and display works;

5. Try to transform one or two houses into wedding inns to attract wedding photographers, their families and photographers to stay;

6. Open up four seasons flowers around the village, spring rape, summer lotus sunflower, autumn and winter chrysanthemum, Fengxian Xiao lavender, and increase tourists and wedding photography projects; Fish pond base is also a good condition for planting flowers to form a landscape;

7/ ? Get one or two flower boats to cooperate with wedding photography, take photos while playing on the Jade Belt River, and create a wedding reception plan on the dock;

8. Cultivate ornamental animals such as peacocks and parrots to enrich the subject matter of photography;

9. Organize a model photo contest to expand the influence of the ancient village.
