Introduction to scenic spots

Qinchuan village is a typical Hui Style ancient village. The whole village is mainly characterized by small bridges, flowing water and ancient dwellings, especially the carved beams and painted buildings of some buildings. Up to now, there are about 300 ancient dwellings in Qinchuan village, including two in Ming Dynasty and the rest in Qing Dynasty and Republic of China. There are still more than 60 Hui Style ancient dwellings and four ancestral halls in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are many types of buildings with different shapes and topographical patterns, both of which are two-story, belonging to the micro architectural style of Southern Anhui, and there are waterside pavilions, pavilions, fish ponds, etc., which are rare in other folk houses.

Due to restrictions, the width is generally narrow, mostly three or four Bay, about 10 meters. Each house into a deeper, more rooms, so the overall feeling is long and narrow. The front door of the house is mostly a Shikumen, covered with big Bluestone, and has a decorative gatehouse. There are steps in front of the hall, and plain guardrails on both sides of the steps. The first entrance is the patio, and then the open living room is on the first floor. The second rooms on both sides of the living room are wing rooms. There are small halls between the entrance and the entrance. The layout of the back rooms is basically the same as that of the first entrance. The second floor is mostly used for storage, not the main activity space. This is a mainstream pattern of Qinchuan folk houses. In the other pattern, the first one is the paomalou style, that is, a wing room in each corner, a patio in the middle, and a guardrail under the eaves of the two-story patio. Only a few of the dwellings in Qinchuan have this pattern. The architecture of these ancient dwellings is very elegant, with cornices and angles. The lower threshold of the gate is made of wood or stone. Most of them are polished smooth and shiny. There is also an inner threshold on the threshold, and the simple carving is also vivid. Most of them are brick carvings with vivid figures, such as the romance of the Three Kingdoms and a dream of Red Mansions. The lattice and flower supports of the doors and windows in the room are all carved with wood, such as flowers, birds, people and animals. On the lintel and the top of the windows with wood as the partition pole, there are also words such as "beautiful mountains and rivers", "Wanfu Chaolai" and so on. Above the middle of the room is an open patio. When it rains, the sky water falls to the ground. When it is sunny, the sun shines into the wing room. The patio is generally rectangular, made of wide square stone slabs, surrounded by about 50 cm deep beams, connected with the outside world, and the water falling into the patio will flow out. The wooden walls of the wing rooms on both sides are made of planks of hualange. Looking up, the four corners are lion sculptures, or "Eight Immortals crossing the sea", or "biographies of Water Margin". Most of the carvings on the beam are hollowed out, and a story of characters is carved on the bottom of the wooden window, such as "Confucius lecturing, Mencius discussing the way", which makes people admire its long-standing tradition of respecting teachers and respecting the way. The pillar base stones are all made of bluestone, with different shapes. The whole carving design is ingenious, delicate, beautiful and vivid.

The original "No.18, Xidong Road, Qinchuan village, Qinling Township, sui'an county" ancient residence is the representative of Qinchuan ancient residence. Its gate is located in the south by West and is built near the stream. The house is of brick and wood structure, with three openings and three entrances. It has a two-story structure. There is a small patio in front and back, and a wooden screen between the middle hall and the back hall. There are eight rooms on both sides of the first floor of the front hall and the middle hall, and the back hall is the cupboard room and the stairs leading to the second floor. The depth of the ancient dwellings is 15.3 meters and the width is 7.8 meters. The corbel and window pattern of the house are complete, and the carving is fine, which has high artistic value. Adjacent to No. 18 is Wang Shengli's ancient residence with a garden. Inside the damaged wall is a fish pond with an area of about 40 square meters. On the left side is a two-story waterside pavilion. Both the upper and lower floors are built with barriers and benches facing the water. The beauty has a beautiful shape. People can enjoy the fish and climb the building to see the scenery of Qinchuan river. The water source of the pool in the hospital is from Qinchuan river. In order to keep the water clear, it is very ingenious to lead the stream water into the pool at the upstream and build a culvert at the downstream.

Another major feature of the ancient houses in Qinchuan village is that most people have gardens in front of and behind their houses to build front and back gardens. In addition, the stream passes through the village. Villagers on both sides like to build natural fish ponds in their gardens. Even today's new houses have this design. Therefore, here there is a great open-door garden, fish pond, plum blossom fragrance, osmanthus fragrance, autumn orchid into the secluded room, climbing the high wall.

There are many ancestral halls and temples in Qinchuan village, including Jingyi hall, Guotang, Wang's ancestral hall, Jinggong temple, Renyi hall and Zhaoling temple. In front of the third ring Hall of Jingong temple, there is also a "gift stele", which was set up by Zhang Xue, the principal of sui'an County in September of 1911. The inscription on the stele is engraved with the word "gift". The inscription on the stele has a long history. It says: "in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, the river in Shaanxi was destroyed, the drought in Guangdong was severe, and the victims were displaced. Wang Yan donated eight thousand stones to the valley for disaster relief. Shanggan felt his righteous deeds and established this stele."
