Fuyan ancient village

Fuyan ancient village

Fuyan ancient village is located in the north of yayang town. In ancient times, because there was a rock behind the village with strange color, just like the food "white rot" (meaning mildew), there was a place name "white rot rock". Because of the same sound, it was falsely called "white tiger rock". Later, the Zhou clan thought the name was indecent, so they changed it to "baifuyan".

Introduction to scenic spots

Baifuyan is an ancient village with many surnames, including Zhou, Li, Lin, ye, Lu, Yao, Ma, Shi, Mao, Dong, Qiu, Wang and so on. Among them, Zhou family has the most abundant teeth, gradually forming a family area where people live together. Up to now, the ancient residential buildings in the village are all built by Zhou family.

Baifuyan mountain is surrounded by water. The residential buildings are either close to the mountain or near the water. The overall environment is very beautiful. According to the architectural environment, the dwellings can be divided into two parts. One part is built along the foot of the back mountain and is located on the valley, such as the ancestral hall of the Zhou family, the long tail house, the stone gate building, the bottom of the flagpole, etc., which are arranged in a horizontal line. The other part is built along the mountain, such as the central house and the dingtou house.

The houses built along the valley are green hills in the back and Tianmu stream in the front. The natural environment of the dwellings built along the mountains is even more beautiful. Along the gravel paved forest path, there are mountain springs and birds chirping along the road. A person can live in harmony with the nature.

Among the existing dwellings in baifuyan, the highest grade is Shimen tower (two in total, all built by Zhou Jieting). These two dwellings are exquisite in layout and construction. According to experts' research, many practices also have strong architectural styles in Western Sichuan and Northern Fujian.

The origin and development of Zhou family

Zhou's Gaozu of baifuyan taboo Chaozuo. He lived in Jingning, Chuzhou. Chaozuo had three sons, the eldest son Wude, the second son Fengji and the third son Jifeng. In the 54th year of Kangxi reign, Wude wanted to move to Vietnam. He took his mother, Hu's family, to look for Fang and see the scenery. Buzhu was built in xiadongxi, the seventh capital of Taiyi. At that time, Hu's mother and brother, Chun Yingong, had moved to wujiadun, the eighth capital of yayang,

Zhou Fengji (born in the 44th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty and died in the 20th year of Qianlong) moved to wujiadun alone because of the admiration of his neighbors. A few years later, he moved to Buxia. "He worked as a farmer and a nursery, and after a long period of time, he married his great grandfather, Ji Ji, and died after a lot of hard work." Zhou Fengji made great efforts to save money. He inherited Li's family and gave birth to a son named Qichang. Zhou Qichang "was industrious and thrifty and accumulated a lot, so he bought a house and lived in baihuyan at the foot of the mountain." Zhou Qichang, named Guangyuan, was born in the 11th year of Qianlong and died in the 14th year of Daoguang.

Residential buildings

Zhou Qichang "bought a house and lived in baihuyan at the foot of the mountain". This house is now located in a bend in the west of the village. It is said that it was originally built by the Lin family and later sold to the Ye family. After Zhou Qichang moved to baifuyan, he bought the East Wing house from ye as his residence. In addition, there are still six ancient houses built by Zhou family in baifuyan, among which the stone gate tower and the adjacent one are the most typical. The other four ancient houses are changweicuo, zhongzhongcuo, dingtoucuo and flagpole bottom. Changweicuo: it is a courtyard style, with a gate tower suspended on the top of the mountain, five bay, suspended on the top of the mountain, two ends of the main ridge raised, and the middle pier decorated with the word "Xi" waist flower.

The main house is nine Bay, hanging on the top of the mountain, with two ends of the main ridge raised, and the middle pier decorated with the word "Shou" waist flower. The left and right wing rooms are six bays wide, with a rest on the top of the mountain. The front ridge of the left wing room is decorated with the word "Fu". Zhongyangcuo: it is a "one" - shaped residential building, with nine main rooms, Xieshan and qingshuiji. There are two kitchens in the back of the main house, with fire-proof gables. The two Gables have different styles, one is cat arched back, the other is horse head wall. The lines of one soft and one rigid form a sharp contrast. Dingtoucuo: as the name suggests, dingtoucuo is the top house. You can walk up the avenue from the right side of the village to reach dingtoucuo. The gate house on the roof of Xieshan is dignified. The whole house is in the form of a courtyard. The front of the house is seven bays wide, with a rest on the top of the mountain. The left wing room is dilapidated; the right wing room is three bays wide, resting on the top of the mountain.

Flagpole bottom: it is a three entrance courtyard, the portal beam structure is a bucket type, hanging on the top of the mountain, with three bays on the surface, nose on both ends of the main ridge, and waist flower on the middle pier. The front of the main house is seven bays wide, with the top of the hill resting. The two ends of the main ridge are decorated with noses, and the middle pier is decorated with waist flowers. The left wing is five bay wide with a hall in the middle. The third entrance is seven Bay wide, with a suspended Hill roof. The bottom of the flagpole is built by Zhou dingcha, whose name is Jinghai. It is "brilliant, intelligent, a little silent and smiling, serious as an adult since childhood, and fond of learning. It is well known to the villagers He was also good at managing property. After living in different places, Kunzhong recovered and expanded his fields. He had a private house, and his wealth was huge.

The Shimen building and another ancient house adjacent to it, also known as zhongyangcuo, were built by Zhou Jieting. After Zhou Jieting taboo world, the word crown thousand, Jieting for its number. Zhou Jieting is a brilliant man with a wise heart. His brother is especially good at running a family when he lives apart. His son conceals Qingxi's name and is named Yunqiao. He helps the chief secretary with his salary. He has been knowledgeable and sincere since he was young. He abides by his family law and doesn't like to be flashy. "When there is a loan in his neighborhood, he is not stingy and doesn't want to be responsible. He is patient when he is in trouble, although he is rich, he is not a little arrogant."

The floor of the stone gate house is paved with stone blocks and enclosed into a half moon shape. The main frame of the gate tower is made of stones, with a plaque on it: "green around green". The roof has double eaves, the lower eaves are the overhanging peak, and the upper eaves are the Xieshan peak. The walls of the gate tower are painted and clay sculptures. There is a plaque on the back of the gate tower: "master Daonan Beizhu", which is said to be written by fan Hongshu, who is known as "child prodigy", when he was 12 years old.

On the left side, there is a gate leading to the central house, a plaque on the gate tower, which is the word "mountain and forest weather", and on the right side, there is a plaque on the wall, which is the spirit of flowers and plants, and clay sculptures, such as bangs and Golden toads. There are many poems on the wall of the courtyard, but most of them have been destroyed during the cultural revolution. Now only a small part of them is still vaguely discernable: "Apricot Garden in spring, lotus in summer pool, the most beautiful place is here. The moon is shining in autumn, the snow is bright in winter, coke in four seasons is at Wulu", and a plaque in the gate tower is "flying kite and fish leaping". There is also a plaque on the door from the wing room to the main room. There are exquisite corbel carvings in the wing room. There is a sweet scented osmanthus plant in the small courtyard of the wing room. In August, the flowers are in full bloom and fragrant all around. There are clay sculptures such as "Fu" and "Shou" in the courtyard walls and windows.

There is an exquisite corridor between the right wing room and the main room of Shimen building, which is full of strong Western Sichuan architectural style. Wooden railings are set on both sides of the corridor, which belong to fancy railings. The core part of the railings is assembled with lattice bars with auspicious patterns such as "longevity and happiness". The existing wooden corridor used to lead to the backyard. There were four fish ponds in the backyard. The fish pond was built with a loft, with a kitchen in the middle and three floors on both sides.

The backyard building is also connected with the second floor of the main building, which is accessible. Unfortunately, the backyard building has been demolished. Zhou Daxu, a descendant of the Zhou family, still keeps several photos of the house demolished at that time. Zhou Da Xu also once treasured an ancestral calligraphy of Du Fu, which consists of four big characters such as Dou and seven seals. The big one is like the mouth of a bowl, and the small one is only the size of a thumb. During the cultural revolution, on the eve of the red guards' search of Zhou Da Xu's house, Zhou Da Xu wanted to store Du Fu's ink treasure in his friend's house. However, his friend was afraid of being implicated and did not save it for him. In desperation, Zhou Da Xu torched Du Fu's handwriting by the lotus pool in the corner of the house.

The central house, which is separated from the stone gate building, was built by Zhou Jieting. The plaque on the gate building says "seeing the shoes is auspicious", and the couplet says: "wisdom, water, benevolence, mountain and auspicious clouds surround the gate of China". The gate tower is the roof of Xieshan. The overall style gives people a light and elegant feeling. The two shoulders of the courtyard wall connected with the gate tower are slowly wiped down, and the curve is beautiful. This practice is commonly known as "guanyindou", which has the architectural style of Northern Fujian. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, baifuyan once held "Qiming school", and many ancient houses were once used as schools.

Zhou's ancestral hall

Zhou's ancestral hall is located in baifuyan xipingyang, which was built in the third year of Guichou, Xianfeng, Qing Dynasty. The gate tower is located in the northeast to the southwest, with a suspended Hill roof and brick walls on both sides. The upper part of the west wall of the gate tower is painted with auspicious patterns such as "flowers and birds". After entering the gate tower, there is the front corridor of the ancestral hall. The front corridor was originally nine Bay, but now seven Bay. Connected with the front porch are two verandahs. Now only the West verandah is available. It is a two-story building with a three Bay wide surface and a suspended Hill roof.

The roof truss of the dormitory is tall, the carving content is rich, and the skill is exquisite. The roof is suspended on the top of the mountain. The two ends of the main ridge are decorated with plaster and grass. Two fish with intersecting tails are carved with the word "water". In addition to its own indirect implication of waterproof, the image of fish hanging on fish is also said to use its homonym for auspicious meaning: fish, Yuye, Yuye. Most of the suspended fish have two fish, which is called "happy Pisces". Double eaves are made at both ends of the eaves for better shelter from wind and rain. There is a plaque of "Ke Chang Jue Hou" on the square wood between the pillars. There is also a gold plaque hanging on the shrine, with four big characters of Zhongshu "Zhonghou Hei Jia".
