Sketch of traditional ancient buildings to express love

Lailang Bridge is located on the bank of Yunxi River in Xucun, which was built by Xu in Yuan Dynasty. That's a double-hole stone pier wooden bridge. Xu Shengsheng rebuilt it as a stone arch bridge in Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty, and rebuilt it in Jiajing year (1557), and built a bridge corridor. It was rebuilt in the 22nd year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1683). The bridge is 2 1m long and 5.3m wide.

Walking into the ancient buildings in Xucun, the first thing you walk into is the covered bridge.

The light in the gallery is dark, and the small window above the bridge gallery is round or square, like a camera viewing frame, which puts the white wall tiles and green hills outside the bridge gallery into the lens.

For me, it is to record and record every real moment in the journey. Because the head is not high enough, the camera and mobile phone are not raised high enough, and the lens window is not visible at all. No matter what is shot into the lens, no matter what is shot, it is the most authentic scenery that photographic equipment has "seen" at this moment.

The significance of photography is to teach people how to see the world without a camera.

The appearance of Levin's covered bridge is divided into three rooms, and the roof in the middle is slightly higher, which makes the gable ridge uneven and rhythmic.

In ancient times, the word "Lai" contained auspicious and festive meanings. When I came to Levin and walked across the covered bridge, I was faced with a unique artistic conception different from the "small bridge and flowing water family" in Jiangnan water town. If "Little Bridge Flowing Water" is a poetic lyric poem, then the covered bridge in "Levin" is a warm-hearted lyric poem with melodious meaning and dignified tone.

Who left a miracle to shake the arch bridge by the promenade today?

I don't know how clever people are in the stream, and I suspect that there are flying rainbows on my head!

The water flows far from the covered bridge, and the wind comes from the flower shadow.

The mountain stream washed away all the ups and downs, but the bridge in the stream did not move.

Fortunately, although Xucun has been developed into a tourist attraction, the cloud creek under the covered bridge is still clear and beautiful. Compared with the worrying Xin 'anjiang pollution, the safety of Yunxi River is somewhat gratifying.

The water in Qingxichuan makes me clear that its water color is different from other rivers.

The man seems to be walking in the mirror, and the bird seems to be flying in the screen.

If Li Bai, a poet, comes to Xucun Levin and walks under the cloud creek and covered bridge, he will have the same feeling as walking in Qingxi.

One is to use a pen, the other is to use a lens to reproduce the scenery you have seen with your heart, the other is to draw a hidden character room, and the other is to draw a hidden character. This is the truth that "poetry is at its best, silence is better than sound" and "photography has nothing to do with equipment, but with the mind"

Passing through Qingxi, by the covered bridge and under the eaves, there is a girl washing clothes in Qingxi;

By the dead tree, on the wall, cardamom sprouts.

The streams are crystal clear and the trees are lush and enjoyable. The Millennium is long, and it has always been like this.

The covered bridges of dreams are like shadows, and the peaks and turns come into my heart.

I saw Wumafang, Daguan Pavilion and Shuangshou Chengen Square. ...

Wumafang, Daguanlou and Shuangshou Chengen Square, how many stories of joys and sorrows have been staged on this covered bridge, which are remembered and forgotten, just like the falling dead leaves disappearing with the stream, like dreams left by years, waiting for every passerby, some passing by and some dreaming-

Wumafang was built in the second year of Zhengde in Ming Dynasty (1507). It is a stone archway with four columns and three rooms, located on the fifth floor. It is 8.2 meters wide and 9.7 meters high. The main components such as columns are granite, and the rest are sandstone, which is beautifully carved. On the second floor eaves, there is also a "feeding chickens and beasts" with a simple shape. The words "five horses" are written on the square plate. "Five Horses" is the nickname of the ancient magistrate.

This workshop was founded by Xu Bosheng, the magistrate of Tingzhou, Fujian. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Gong led many people to protect the environment and people, which was highly valued by the court. Given Tingzhou magistrate, diligent and loving the people, he died in the line of duty and was named "Dr. Zhong Xian".

Daguanlou is a pavilion-style building with triple eaves, with unique shape and octagonal dancing, commonly known as octagonal building. It was built in the 30th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1557) and rebuilt in the 22nd year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1633). The bottom floor and the second floor are octagonal, each side of the bottom floor is 3.5 meters long and covers an area of 64.6 square meters; The third floor is a virtual exhibition hall, with a rectangular plane and a height of11.75m. There are stairs in the pavilion, which can reach the top and overlook, and the moon beams on the first and second floors are painted with bags.

Lonely Birds reminds me of a song that was popular in 1980s:

……

I am a bird.

I want to fly, but I can't fly high.

……

What a small world.

We are doomed to have nowhere to run.

……

When you decide to burn for your ideal.

The pressure of life and the dignity of life

Which is more important?

……

Shuangshou Chengen Square is at the bridge head of Levin Gallery Bridge, next to Daguan Pavilion.

Qin Long in the Ming Dynasty was built in the period of Chen Wu (1568). It is a stone archway with four pillars, three rooms and five floors, with a width of 7.9 meters and a height of 9.5 meters. Its columns, lower square, cornices and four running lions in the Ming Dynasty before and after the columns are all made of granite. Other carved components, such as flower plates and beams, are made of sandstone. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, exquisite stone carvings are still clearly visible today.

This workshop was built for Hui merchant Xu Shiqi and his wife. During the Qin Long period of the Ming Dynasty (1567- 1572), when Mu Zong preached "Lv Rui" in the ruling and opposition parties, Xu was charitable. At that time, he was1kloc-0/year old and his wife, Songshi 103 year old. So the court made a list and sealed it. Guo Xu made a "behavior" for it. It can be seen that the respect for the elderly in that year.

Levin Covered Bridge, Wumafang, Daguan Pavilion and Shuangshou Chengen Square are the typical ancient buildings of Ming Dynasty that you first saw when you walked into Xucun Ancient Building Complex. There are many ancient ancestral temples and ancient houses around and inside, which still retain the original antique features. In your journey, it seems like a lifetime ago. If you are an antique fan, you must not miss this place when you come to southern Anhui.

"Long live Chairman Mao", this is the deep voice of the people. You can't hear it, but it pervades every corner of the country.

Ancient buildings are the material and cultural heritage left over from feudal society. Emotionally speaking, seeing them is like seeing the "evil old society", so there will be ten years of turmoil. However, from the architectural point of view, they are the crystallization of working people's wisdom and handicraft art, and they are works of art that cannot be copied in modern society. Every brick and tile is worth cherishing.

Just like these vegetables growing between fields and ruins, they are alive and need our care and understanding.

Xucun History Museum is one of the few village-level history museums in China. Its predecessor is the observation point, which is the branch temple of Zuxuzhou, the 20th ancestor of Dongzhi. In the early Ming Dynasty, Xu Tianxiang's mansion was built for observation.

Xu Bosheng's sixth brother, Xu Zhou, died young due to illness. His wife is a sober woman all her life and never leaves the house. She raised her posthumous son Xu Tianxiang and later became an observer. So it is also called "the door in the wall". The ancestral temple we saw today was built on the south side of the old mansion site during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. In the 17th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 13), it was rebuilt, and the circular door facing the street on the north side was engraved with the story in the wall.

1997, his grandson, Academician Xu Jinghua (now living in Switzerland) donated 10000 USD, which was renovated by the county government to become the "Xucun History Museum". The museum introduces the natural resources, historical overview, cultural landscape and historical celebrities in Xucun area in the form of objects, words, photos and charts.

Observing the inner door of the second wall, there is a sad story. In fact, every ancient deep house compound in Huizhou has such a story, a sad and sad story about women.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Zhou 'an, the youngest brother of Xu Bosheng who was then the magistrate of Tingzhou, married the beautiful Hu family of 18 years old. Shortly after his marriage, he left his hometown, fell ill and died at the age of 24.

At that time, Hu was 20 years old and had a lot of flesh and blood in his stomach. Uncle Xu Bosheng made him a widow. In the old society, women who lost their husbands in Huizhou were widowed, even if they just got married.

After Xu Bosheng returned to his hometown, he ordered people to build high walls around the yard. There is no window on the wall, but a small door is opened on the wall to communicate with the outside world, so that craftsmen can "dig a well in it and call it Fuquan, choose two or three old people to wait on it, pay the daily necessities and take it from the outside." At this time, all her living space is the big house of this day, and she can't step out of the house and live an isolated life.

She conceived in October and gave birth to a son. Uncle Zun named her Tianxiang. Hu, who is only in his early twenties, is alone guarding her husband's memorial tablet and teaching her children. After a long summer and winter, her son finally grew up and was admitted to Jinshi. After the official observation, she wanted to remove the fence for her mother. The woman who had never left home in her life finally saw the light of day, but Hu was not allowed to die.

Once the court was moved by Hu's deeds and allowed to set up a square and watch, but Mrs. Hu refused. At that time, there was a drought in Xu Cun, and nearby villagers had difficulty drinking water. Hu asked his family to tear down a corner of his own fence and drill a well outside the wall for the villagers to use. It was very touching.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, 72-year-old Hu passed away. He was widowed for 52 years and never left this deep house compound.

Most of Huizhou women's lives are deplorable, not only because of the persecution of women by the feudal ethics itself, but also because they willingly accepted all this and eventually became defenders of the feudal ethics that oppressed them, enduring humiliation and being handed down from generation to generation. How terrible it is to imprison ideological education!

Looking at history dialectically and selectively inheriting the ancient and long-standing Chinese traditional civilization are not blindly admired or rudely abandoned. From these ancient buildings, your knowledge will no longer be limited to what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears. In the invisible silence, you will feel more because of your heart. ...

Just like these beautifully carved brick carvings, what they show people may be just a decoration, a show-off of the owner's status, but the hidden meaning behind them is not easy to understand. What we see more is whether the people and things on the screen are realistic, whether the sculptor is meticulous, and others are rarely concerned. A cursory look makes our understanding of our nation more and more superficial.

Walking out of the Xucun History Museum, that is, the observation room, you came to Xucun's apartment for the elderly.

Xucun apartment for the elderly is located in the ancient buildings, which are built next to them. It's as quiet as a whitewashed tile. Old age always reminds people of history and the past. In this ancient building complex, the apartments for the elderly are not too abrupt, but more harmonious and serene.

The apartment for the elderly is two rows of two-story buildings, with one room for each elderly person and some two rooms, depending on the occupancy cost. During the Spring Festival, most old people were taken home by their children for reunion, and some old people stayed for the Spring Festival.

Even if the old people who stay for the New Year spend the New Year alone, they still decorate their rooms with the atmosphere of the New Year. The couplets posted on the door and the bacon hung on the wall all bear a strong flavor of life. This is the home of an old man who loves life.

The old man is cooking in the outhouse. When he heard us come in, he greeted us warmly. Please sit in the room. The small room was cleaned up by the old man, and his heartfelt smile was touching.

The old man is a retired cadre. He used his pension to pay for living in an apartment for the elderly and daily living expenses. He likes life here very much. Although the room is small, it is a warm home, which is completely different from the old nursing home.

Every old man's home is small, but it makes people feel warm and kind. This reminds me of the two dads I met earlier. Although they are guarding a big old house, they feel cold and lonely. That old house may have been handed down by their ancestors, recording the glorious history of the family and how many little-known stories there are. Watching the old house is like watching their loved ones. They are unwilling to leave.

In fact, everyone has their own life, and only they know the taste, and outsiders only see the appearance. No matter what kind of life it is, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad in the eyes of outsiders. What matters is the choice from the heart, and how many of us can do it because of the inner choice?

Standing in the small building on the second floor and looking out, there are scenery in the distance and near. The old people here are not lonely, as long as they have a heart that loves life.

This is the home of Uncle Jiang, who loves art. When he walks into his hut, the literary atmosphere comes to his face. The wall of the small room is covered with calligraphy and painting, all made by Uncle Jiang himself.

He said that he liked calligraphy and painting when he was young, but he was too busy to do what he liked. It was not until he retired for nearly two years and lived in an apartment for the elderly that he really had his own time. He writes, paints, goes out for a walk and lives the life he always wants.

Do too many of us have to wait until retirement to live the life we want? The policy of delaying retirement is undoubtedly more frustrating.

The ancient mountain climbing road map made by Uncle Jiang from memory is really a versatile literary grandfather.

Uncle Jiang, who was 85 years old at that time, was also a post expert and a model worker before retirement. He once attended the National People's Congress.

Talking about the past, the old man is full of joy and has deep nostalgia and attachment to that era. At that time, I was still young, and my memory was full of attachment and nostalgia.

Uncle Jiang told us the meaning and story behind each of his paintings, "Only Do not forget your initiative mind can achieve the ultimate goal", which was praised by too many people and became a fact here. I didn't create for him to win a prize, to be famous, to gain any external benefits, but to express my true feelings. I was moved by his persistence. Sticking to my heart, "the sky leaves no trace, but I have flown."

Silver Sheep, Golden Horse, Golden Horse and Silver Sheep was written when Uncle Jiang's nephew visited him years ago. Saying goodbye to the Year of the Horse and welcoming the Year of the Sheep has no profound special significance. Uncle Jiang posted it on the lintel, and it can be seen that it is also full of thoughts for his nephew.

Uncle Jiang's kind smile deeply infected me, and that heartfelt feeling of abundance filled his cabin. Doing whatever you want is an unattainable happiness.

To go, uncle Jiang went downstairs to see him off. At this moment, I vaguely felt some kind of loneliness, maybe not on Uncle Jiang, but just my feeling.

For the elderly, they want someone to "disturb". Even if they can live a full life every day, it is their inner desire to talk to others. Both relatives and strangers who meet by chance have given the same enthusiasm and trust.

If you go to Xucun, please don't forget to walk into the old apartment in the ancient building, see the old people living there, send your greetings and listen to their voices.

Out of the apartment for the elderly, I walked to Wumafang not far away, and the apartment for the elderly was at the end of the alley opposite Wumafang.

Walk past the Daguan Pavilion

As a farewell covered bridge—

......

I left quietly,

When I came softly;

I waved gently,

Say goodbye to the western clouds.

......

I left quietly,

Just as I came quietly;

I waved my sleeve,

Don't take away a cloud.

Xu Cun under construction, the past and the present blend with each other, and the ancient and the modern complement each other. Inheritance and development are not contradictory. I want to set foot on this land again after many years. She is as charming as ever, and I can find my lost dream in the covered bridge. ...

Next stop: the former residence of Huang

Last stop: Entering Xucun: Originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, China is a model of traditional geomantic omen and the first Jinshi village in ancient Huizhou.
