Architectural features

1 chessboard layout: it is completely built according to the eight trigrams of the book of changes. The temperature in the four seasons hall is divided into four different stages, which is very magical. The profound sense of history is the spiritual ancestor of Jiangs in Gaotou Township and even the whole Yongding County. Back: Dragon and tiger mountain; face: round to the flow of the river. It is the soul of XIAOJINSHAN and xiaoyinshan; the geomantic layout with dragon vein and Yin and Yang established the position of Tulou king, which is the immortal symbol of Chinese Hakka dragon nationality. The layout of "Hui" type: the structure of Beijing siheyuan has gone through six hundred years of vicissitudes, with a strong sense of three-dimensional. One hall is higher than the other until the main hall.

There are abundant couplets in the book of changes: the left couplet of the gate: the five or Six Harmonies of heaven and earth; the right couplet: the clouds and the sun are in front of the Xiang Xigao and the Tang Yu; the horizontal couplet is: loyalty and filial piety are flowing. This couplet stresses the unity of man and nature, the picturesque realm in poetry, and the fusion of man and nature. The meaning of the left wing League: at night, a person meditates in the silver starry sky of the Big Dipper. What he stresses is the unity of heaven and man. He follows the example of heaven and earth and strives for self-improvement. His virtue reflects the motto of Tsinghua University: "heaven is strong, gentlemen strive for self-improvement." This couplet realm is just like the world-famous oil painting master Van Gogh's work starry sky, which is full of blood. Right couplet: in the early morning of the day, a man was climbing in the mountains, watching a red sun rise in the East, watching the farmers usher in a good harvest for another year Looking at the scene of all things growing to golden fruits, it is like the peaceful image of "governing by doing nothing" in the time of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, the sage of ancient times, and the joyful scene in the tale of Peach Blossom Land. This couplet is like the golden body of a living Buddha, which has a broad mind of thousands of rivers with water and months. This couplet is like a mountain poem, one Yin and one Yang, which is the best of the couplets. Re entering the middle gate, there is a couplet: right couplet: calligraphy is really interesting, left couplet: mountains and rivers are ancient love. Re entering the main hall, there is another couplet in the middle hall:

The couplets in the middle hall of Wuyun building, Pei De's hometown of poetry and calligraphy

After entering the hall again, there is a couplet of twelve Chinese zodiac animals;

Left wing couplet: With Dragon and tiger in mind, willing to do the spiritual work of cattle and horses

Right couplet: Wen Tugu is cunning, Tao Zhang snake and mouse are in collusion with the nest, and they are both benevolent and righteous. They fight against each other. They follow the good rules of the Mohist Knight by killing chickens and monkeys.

The small window couplet is the Big Dipper Seven Star couplet in chongbamen: the left couplet is Huaiping Peizheng; the right couplet is Wenwu Shengyuan, and the horizontal inscription is supreme. This couplet contains the relationship between Polaris and the Big Dipper. Different people have different opinions. It is a kind of wild hope in the heart of cultivating one's mind, regulating one's family, ruling the country and pacifying the world. It is a kind of green dragon, white tiger, Zhuque, Xuanwu and Wuji who attach great importance to literature, martial arts and abyss.

Historical evolution

Wuyunlou was built in Yongle years of Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 600 years. Due to the Song Dynasty's emphasis on culture rather than martial arts, the ancestors of the Jiang family were forced to move south to avoid the war in Henan Province of the Central Plains by the invasion of ethnic minorities in the late Southern Song Dynasty In the Ming Dynasty, he cultivated a large number of talented people. Jiang Wenyuan's ancestors went to Anhui Province to be his master. Therefore, the Jiang family built Wuyun building with the idea of transcending ordinary people. It was really a cow. When it was spread to the Qing Dynasty, the talents were not available and sold to relatives. Jiangji is a grassroots farmer, but the talented people of Jiangshan generation have been leading the way for hundreds of years. This young man with the ambition of dragon and tiger has long valued the Fengshui treasure land of Wuyun building, so he tried every means to buy Wuyun building. Jiangji rebuilt Wuyun building from the original two floors to three floors. Jiang Jiji worried that the Fengshui leakage of Wuyun building would be occupied by others in the future, so he raised the foundation and the building, so as to avoid the attempt of other people caused by Fengshui leakage. The eight gate golden lock array of Wuyun building: the Fengshui Taiji layout of Xiu shangsheng, Du Jing, and Jing Kai, after all, did not lock in the changes of the times, and the improvement of Jiangji was handed down to the descendants of Jiang family. I wonder if the residents of Jiang family in Wuyun building can pass down Wuyun building like their ancestors, have the supreme Fengshui layout like Wuyun building, and become the masters of the new era
