Ancient Road Yingjiang Huangkeng people prose

The Ancient Yingjiang River looks like a beautiful and gentle woman. Before becoming the Meng River, she was curved and set between the mountains in Yubei, like a white chain, with pebbles in the water and trees on both sides of the river, so that Huangkeng Village, an ancient village along the river, was covered in a peaceful and green environment.

Where she flows through, nourishing the earth and the earth, so people on both sides of the river like her, rely on her, and can not leave her for generations. What's more, the Huangkeng people themselves are the children and grandchildren of the river.

Every time I go back to my hometown, and my oldest uncles talk about Huangkeng village, they asked me to go over and take a look, said, the world Fu is a family ah, perhaps to find Fu's family some of the highlights of the past. Coincidentally, the unit director of the Office of the small Fu is the ancient village of Huangkeng people, and he exchanged the surface of the relevant basic profile, without hesitation to follow a few local comrades into the sacred Huangkeng ancient village.

Small bridges and flowing homes, road traffic, dogs and chickens heard ...... traditional ancient villages is not only the return to the heart of the child's true solace, but also engraved in the history of the spirit of the coordinates.

Overlooking Huangkeng Village, the terrain from north to south is tilted from high to low, rows of newly built houses next to the old houses, and green walls and gray tiles of the old houses are also one after another, arranged in an orderly manner, was "Feng" shape, which indicates that the ancestors of the ancient village prayed for the family to prosper, the wish of the five grains of abundance. Shuttling through the ancient village, the heavy and rich historical atmosphere is intoxicating. Along the winding paths, crisscrossing lanes, strands of nostalgia for the ancient feelings arise. Huangkeng's ancient buildings are closely linked, but each house has its own characteristics, in each house on the door frame, still retains a different, clearly visible stone carving patterns and names, such as "Dafu Di", "Sima Di", "Yangzhengzhai" and so on. Some of the names of the houses symbolize the identity and status of the owner, and some show hope and wishes.

When you walk into Huangkeng Village, the most attention-grabbing thing is those ancient village houses with typical Jiangnan residential style, which are centered on the ancestral hall and extended to the two wings and the rear. Its architectural layout is an ancient tribal layout, which is similar to the Hakka roundhouse in Gannan, but different from the roundhouse. Stepping on the green stone boards and overgrown weeds, walking and stopping in the ancient houses soaked with hundreds of years of age, as if walking into the hustle and bustle of the ancient village in the past.

Started in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty, Huangkeng, the original ancient houses more than 100, now well-preserved main: Shidafuji, Yuqingtang, Dafu Di, Sima Di and Juxingli, Siyizhai, Pine and Bamboo Mountain House and so on more than 20 buildings, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters. These ancient houses are basically in Ming and Qing Dynasty styles, with firewalls separating the roofs and passages connecting the houses as a whole, making the old houses connected in all directions, from the head of the village to the end of the village at a glance.

It can be seen, when the construction of the old house its selection of materials is indeed fine.

Inside the old house is all wooden structure, exquisite arrangement, the structure is generally similar, with a strong Jiangnan residential characteristics. The guest hall of each house is equipped with a patio, and the guest hall is spacious and bright, sitting in the north and facing the south. The patio is located at the south end of the guest house, with a windmill and funnel-shaped roof, so that rainwater flows directly into the patio. The corners of the patio are equipped with secret passageways to facilitate drainage, and it is said that even the heaviest rainwater will not overflow from the patio. To the left of the living room are the bedrooms, while the kitchen is connected to the south wall of the living room, looking out onto the patio for easy drainage. House attic carving rail looking at each other, carved with rich patterns, ink and fine brushwork, hollowing out evenly, although after a hundred years of wind and rain erosion, but still clearly visible, can be described as a masterpiece of art. What is more amazing is that the drainage system of the ancient village was quite advanced at the time in place, all for the dark ditch, connected to each other, not only smooth drainage, but also the formation of a complete system, convergence of the unified discharge into the Meng River. Behind the village, a tree age of more than 500 years crown like an umbrella of the ancient camphor stands proudly, the tree diameter of about two meters, more than ten meters high. Ancient camphor is located between the village and the mountains, seems to have collected the spirit of the mountains and forests transmitted in the ancient village of the potential, both as a witness to the history of the village, but also the villagers of a better vision of the trust.
