brief introduction

Hongguan village, 50 kilometers to the north of Wuyuan County, Zhejiang Province, is a famous "Hui ink" producing area in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. So far, many famous ink masters' houses are well preserved.

On the Bank of the stream in this ancient village with a history of more than 1000 years, there stands a tree with a diameter at breast height of 3.4 meters, a height of about 26.1 meters and a crown width of about 3 mu. It is known as "the first camphor in the south of the Yangtze River". There are different opinions about the age of the ancient camphor. It is generally believed that it should be about a thousand years old, and the ancient Post Pavilion beside the ancient camphor has a pair of couplets with mottled handwriting: "the geometric year is Song Dynasty, and the ancient camphor is Tang Dynasty. How many things can be traced back to discuss the honor and disgrace of the Zhejiang river?" maybe it can give us some inspiration. At the bottom of the ancient camphor tree, an ancient post road paved with bluestone is winding away.

history

Hongguan village was built by the surname Zhan during the reign of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1130). When the village builders moved to settle down, they "looked up at Hongrui and gathered purple Qi in the que Li", so they named it "Hongguan", also known as "hongruiguan" and "Hongrui villa". In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hongguan was one of the main producing areas of Hui ink. In Ming Mo Tan Cong of the Qing Dynasty, it was recorded that "there were more than 100 Wuyuan inks, and there were more than 80 Hongguan inks with the surname of Zhan alone, far more than Shexian and Xiuning inkmakers in number, and they were a big sect in Hui ink.". The streets and alleys of the village are mostly in the name of ink industry, so Hongguan has the reputation of "famous Hui ink village". During the 400 years from Hongwu of Ming Dynasty to Qianlong of Qing Dynasty, there were many senior officials in the village, such as Zhan Tong, Zhan Hui and his son, who successively served as ministers of the Ministry of officials during the period of Hongwu of Ming Dynasty. Zhan Yingjia was appointed by Qianlong during his southern inspection. In the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, he was promoted from Yichang prefecture to Zhili Prefecture magistrate. After his death, Lin Zexu wrote an epitaph. There are more than 10 scholars in the village, leaving more than 30 works handed down from generation to generation. About the construction of the village in Jianyan period of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Yang Hongrui and Ziqi gather in the que Li", it is also known as hongruiguan because of its name. Hongguan gathers the aura of heaven and earth

It is a model of Huizhou ancient villages. According to the Fengshui theory, the four animal model is "left green dragon, right white tiger, front rosefinch, and back Xuanwu", which is close to the mountain and water. Hongguan is 5 ° to 6 ° south by East, and faces south from the north. The green dragon on the left is like a green dragon winding around the village house. The white tiger on the right side, the mountain on the west side, is like a tiger lying on its back. In the south, facing the water is the rosefinch, facing the mountain flat, unprecedented vast. Zhejiang source water (Hongxi) flows around the village from east to west, which not only facilitates the villagers' living water, but also optimizes the living environment, and integrates nature and human. Xuanwu is located in the North behind the village house. Hongguan calls this back mountain "Lailong". The dragon vein meanders from Wulong mountain, and the hills stretch for tens of miles. Through the double peaks, it is gentle and powerful. From the mountains to the dragon's skull, it rises and falls, and then naturally stops, forming a momentum. This is Xuanwu hanging its head. When the Dragon comes ten li, the air is ten Zhang high. When the Dragon comes one hundred Li, the air is ten Zhang high. When Qi is positive, the pulse falls from the middle and the acupoint is positive. From Hongguan, the dragon's vital energy gathers in the hall house of "yutangxianli" and all the homesteads in the village. Therefore, Hongguan has been prosperous for a long time. Hongguan village people know how to store wind and gather gas to protect the dragon vein. Up to now, there are still several forbidden steles protecting the dragon vein in history. To protect the ecology, from Shuangfeng to Lailong in Houshan, a large area of lush landscape forest grows well and shows the magnificence and beauty of Lailong. Hongguan's mountains and rivers are the gift of nature to Hongguan villagers. The idea of "harmony between man and nature" is particularly prominent in Fengshui, and Hongguan people know how to respect nature, protect ecology and cherish the ideal living environment. Experts from the school of geography of Jiangxi Normal University, after inspecting Hongguan, praised that Hongguan came to Longshan, "the pulse comes from nature, the Qi is majestic, the heaven, the earth and the human are harmonious, prosperous and prosperous.".

scenery

Tongjin Bridge

——Tongjin bridge, stone arch bridge, 16 meters long, 4 meters wide, like a rainbow across the two sides. There are stone guardrails on both sides of the bridge and on the steps at the bridge head, with perfect structure. Tongjin bridge was built in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, and has been repaired in successive dynasties. According to the Hongguan genealogy of the Zhan family, it was rebuilt in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1862-1874) with the donation of Zhan Yuanji. On both sides of the bridge, there is a seal cutting on each side of the Longmen stone. The one facing outside the village is "Tongjin", and the one facing the village is "Yixiu". The ancient meaning of "Jin" is "ferry", which means that the bridge can lead to a distant place; "Yi", which means "scoop, hold", has entered the beautiful picture on the bridge. The ancients once wrote a poem "under the top of smoke and clouds on all sides, in the setting sun of a bay of streams" when they viewed the scenery here.

Huirao ancient road

——Hongguan has a famous huirao ancient post road, which is all paved with bluestone slabs, winding along the green mountains, green waters and villages, forming a beautiful landscape. Along the way, there is a scene of "carp jumping over the dragon's gate". During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the ink master Zhan fanghuan of Hongguan village created "Longmen ink" with the title of this scene. On the front, there was a gold character "Longmen" and on the back, there was a pattern of carp leaping over Longmen. Because ink is good and contains auspicious meaning, Longmen ink once sold well all over the world. On many stone steps of huirao ancient post road, there are grooves ground by wheels, which is the historical evidence of the busy traffic of the ancient road at that time.

Yongji tea pavilion

——In ancient Wuyuan, in order to make it convenient for passers-by to have a rest, most of them built roadside pavilions, tea booths and set up stoves to cook tea, and they didn't take any money, which shows the simplicity of Wuyuan folk customs. The Yongji tea pavilion in Hongguan village is built by riding the road. It looks like the architecture of Ming Dynasty. Later, every time there was damage, the villagers consciously donated money to repair it. The brick inscription on the forehead of Yongji tea pavilion "Baibo Jintian" is vigorous and rigorous. It is vivid and fluent between Fu and Yang. On the other side of Yongji tea pavilion, there is a stone inscription on the forehead of "qingai congmu", and couplets on both sides of the door: "if you ask the geometric year, it is said that the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the ancient camphor was born, how many things can be divided into Wu, Chu and Zhejiang rivers.". This couplet refers to the ancient camphor opposite the tea pavilion.
