Where is DuDu Village?

In the northwest of Lanxi City, Zhejiang Province, there is a small village with great charm-DuDu Village.

The village is bordered by Bailu Mountain in the north and Yilan River in the south. It is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

As a tourist attraction, it goes without saying that there are good mountains and good water. 100 More than 100 buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties spread all over the village, adding to the quaint and elegant atmosphere of the village.

Not only that, the village also gathered more than ten kinds of intangible handicrafts, such as straw weaving, inkstone, wood carving, tin ware and other workshops, which made the small village more and more energetic.

Relying on the sales of intangible products and tourism development, the per capita annual income of Dudu Village exceeded 30,000 yuan, and the people lived a good life.

Read family heirlooms and be realistic.

Zhang is the biggest surname in DuDu Village.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang's ancestors moved to Chun 'an to escape the war. To commemorate this ancestral land, people used the name Dudu, which means "village by the ferry".

With the Zhang family, there are not only village names, but also family instructions of the Zhang family.

Zhang Jiaxun, written in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, is the first family instruction in the history of China.

"For this kind of service, reading can beautify the body ... The key is to try to be realistic."

Farming is for the survival of the family, reading is for the development of the family, and the most important thing in life is reality.

Such a good family style has made the Zhang family produce a large number of talents in history. In the Ming Dynasty, nine scholars were tested in the village.

Among them, Zhang Mao, the master of Neo-Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, is the most respected by the people.

During Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Mao, then editor of imperial academy, was reprimanded by the staff and demoted to Beijing for bluntly advising the emperor to abstain from extravagance and concentrate on doing practical things for the people.

Although he was demoted, Zhang Mao still insisted on pragmatic thinking and always did practical things for the people.

In thirteen years, Zhang Mao resigned and returned to his hometown to set up education. He founded Fengshan Academy in his hometown Fengshan to teach practical skills.

For a time, countless students came here, and Fengshan Academy became a gathering place for literati.

Craft is better than ten acres of land.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the gathering of literati here, the demand for all kinds of elegant products they loved increased greatly, and the handicraft skills such as inkstone carving, straw weaving and tin ware in the village gradually developed.

Many farmers who make a living by farming began to change their direction, picked up carving knives and looms and became skilled craftsmen. Gradually, the local people have a saying that "ten acres of land is not as good as one skill."

Until the 1990s, this traditional handicraft was still generating income for small villages.

Traditional handicrafts produced in du cun are sold to more than 60 countries and regions, which can bring more than 7 million yuan in income to the village every year.

Relying on the income from straw weaving, every household in Dudu Village has built a new house, and life is booming.

Self-cultivation can develop in the long run.

But after 2000, with the development of modern industry, traditional handicrafts lost their market, and Tudu people had to look for new development opportunities.

In 20 13, DuDu Village was included in the second batch of traditional villages in China, and the special fund of 3 million yuan for the protection of traditional villages brought new hope to the village.

However, how to use this ancient building maintenance fund has puzzled the villagers.

Some people think that the limited funds should be used to repair the surface of ancient buildings, which can quickly develop rural tourism and bring income to the village.

Some people insist on strengthening the interior first and repairing every house in a down-to-earth manner. Although the effect is slow, it is more conducive to the long term.

Just as the two sides were at daggers drawn, Zhang Miao's unique building component, the support, gave everyone the answer.

Bucket arches are connected with beams and columns, which mainly support the eaves. When the ancients designed the bracket, they first considered the actual load bearing, and then considered carving on the bracket.

In fact, the restoration of ancient buildings is the same. No matter how beautiful a village looks, it is only superficial. Only with culture and connotation can we go far.

In this way, the governors arranged the repair order according to the severity of the houses, and it took seven years to repair seven ancient buildings, including Zhang Mao's former residence, Zhangshijia Temple and Qing Yu Hall.

The transformed ancient village not only attracted a large number of tourists, but also attracted many cultural scholars and cultural relics experts to discuss and exchange in the village.

With the development of rural tourism, the traditional handicrafts in DuDu Village are also loved by more and more people. Ancient crafts such as straw weaving and inkstone were spread to the young people in DuDu Village. Under the nourishment of traditional culture, ancient villages are full of vitality.
