"The protection value of ancient houses is high, but now many villagers will sell their houses to foreign purchasers at a low price in order to improve their living conditions. For traditional culture, this is a heartbreaking loss." According to the staff, in order to keep the living mark of the Chinese nation, some traditional culture lovers in Wuyi bought several ancient dwellings with a "play" mentality. Later, more and more ancient dwellings were collected, so the Museum of ancient dwellings was built. "After completion, some craftsmen will be invited to build them into cultural centers and intangible cultural heritage centers, and if possible, they will also be transformed into museums High end B & B.... "

The museum has completed the relocation of 56 ancient dwellings. These old houses in the park have a history of at least 100 years. The interior buildings are exquisitely carved beams and paintings, and the layout is original. After careful design, the whole Jiangnan ancient village has begun to take shape. Looking up from the high, the buildings of Hui style are scattered high and low, the horse head walls rise and fall one after another, and sometimes some bamboo branches are stretched out, which makes people feel very happy. Walking down the steps, the village path is winding and extending in all directions, and mosses or ferns grow on both sides of the stone steps. There is a feeling of long absence during walking. There is no dog barking and chicken chirping, and it is quiet but not quiet

The antique Yu Yuan: ever changing inside

Yuyuan, the only Taiji Xingxiang village in China, is one of the first batch of famous historical and cultural villages in China. It is located in the southwest of Wuyi County, 20 kilometers away from the county seat.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, after the death of Yu De, a native of Hangzhou who was a Confucian educator in Songyang, his son Yu Yi escorted the coffin back to Hangzhou. When he passed by to stay here, the coffin parked by the stream was entangled by Wisteria. Yu Yi believed that this was a sacred place, so he buried his father in the land and married the local people when guarding the tomb. It has been the 30th generation so far.

As soon as you enter Yuyuan, the giant Tai Chi map with a diameter of 320 meters and an area of 120 mu at the entrance of the village gives you an extraordinary feeling. According to local people, the village was designed and built by Liu Bowen, the founding counsellor of the Ming Dynasty, according to the arrangement of the celestial phenomena of the zodiac. The main 28 ancient buildings in the village are arranged according to the constellations in the sky. There are also "Seven Star pond" and "seven Star well" for fire prevention and evil control.

Yuyuan's ancient buildings are well preserved, mainly composed of Sanheyuan and siheyuan. The courtyard is spacious and open, which can be divided into three groups: upper house, lower house (liufengtang) and front house. There are 41 1072 rooms in total, covering an area of 34000 square meters. Most of these ancient buildings were built in the Qing Dynasty. Because Yuyuan village used to be an important commercial town in history, these ancient houses are relatively luxurious and elegant, and the pebbles on the ground have been sharpened to lose their vigor and luster.

Through the alleys into the old house, the ancient beams of the house, everywhere you can see extremely delicate and complex woodcut decoration. Generally speaking, ancestral halls are the most complex decoration in ancient villages. In Yuyuan, almost every mansion has a large number of wood carvings, such as beams, columns, doors, windows, brackets and brackets. It can be called "if there is a wood structure, there must be carvings", which shows the style of people who become rich by doing business. It is also a rare natural wood carving Museum in Zhejiang.

For example, there are 51 halls and two small halls in front and back of Yu's ancestral hall, which are known as "the first ancestral hall in Chuzhou". The carved stage in the ancestral hall is known as "the first stage in eight counties of Jinhua". In Shengyuan hall, there are nine carp sculptures, which are vivid. The color of carp will change into black, yellow and red according to the seasonal climate, which can be described as a spectacle. Yuhou hall is one of the three "five no" houses in Yuyuan 1、 That is, there is no dust on the beams, no spiders forming webs, no flies and mosquitoes, no birds staying overnight, and the house is as cool as no summer Compared with the appearance of the houses with similar styles, the interior of the ancient houses in Yuyuan village is truly ever-changing.

Building evaluation

It is said that the Jingyuan ancient residential museum is to purchase nearly 100 ancient residential buildings in the Yangtze River Delta and Bawu to create a modern version of "Afang Palace", so that people can feel the ancient simplicity and elegance of the ancient residential buildings. Although it is still in the construction stage, looking up at more than ten ancient dwellings of different sizes and styles, the high and low horse head walls, the exquisite carved beams and painted buildings, etc., all show the atmosphere of Jingyuan. In the ring of history, the vicissitudes and simplicity of the ancient residence seem to be more and more attractive. And here, it seems to have a sense of time reversal, which makes people go back to the distant times from the modern civilization. "Every house is a period of history. The people here are very simple. The buildings here are full of human feelings and give people a very kind feeling." A friend of mine exclaimed.

Indeed, many tourists who come here to have a look ahead of time walk through the ancient dwellings of different styles from all over China, as if they have gone through different time and space, looking at the essence of Chinese traditional culture
