Fengmen Village

Fengmen village, also known as Fengmen village, is located on the outskirts of Qinyang City, Jiaozuo City, Henan Province. Since 1981, due to the limitation of natural conditions, the residents of Fengmen village have moved out one after another. By 2007, no one lived in Fengmen village.

Around 2008, some outdoor sports fans began to spread some supernatural events in the village on the Internet, so the village is also known as "ghost village" and "Fengmen village". After investigation by Henan TV station and other units, it is found that some supernatural events in the legend do not exist.

Village profile

Fengmen village stands in a gloomy place. Hundreds of Ming and Qing style houses are located in deep mountains and forests. There is a high-rise courtyard in the village. There is a Qing Dynasty imperial chair in the living room. What's more mysterious is that strange events will happen to those who have sat in it.

The local sky is as blue as blue, the mountains are overlapping, and the xiaoyaohe reservoir is rippling with blue waves. It was built at the foot of the mysterious Fengmen village. From bottom to top along the valley, there are mountains and rocks all the way, red leaves can be seen everywhere on both sides, and springs are constantly flowing. It is said that this place has a long history. The ancient battlefield, the ancient Yangchang Road, jiaozan and Mengliang once stationed troops here. Fengmen village is famous for its continuous spread of supernatural events.

The origin of the name

According to the investigation team from the "history of Henan Province administrative division evolution" information verification. Because of the mistake of writing "Fengmen village" as "Fengmen village", it misled everyone. Even the word "sealed door" is printed on some maps.

The military map of 1972 also shows "Fengmen village". What's more, the word "Fengmen" was also recorded on the stone tablet found by the team. In addition, it is verified that the village named after "Fengmen" is located in Wangwushan Township, Jiyuan City, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Jiaozuo and now borders Jiaozuo.

According to the maintenance inscriptions of three temples in Fengmen village, the earliest record of the existing inscriptions is the fifth year of Jiaqing, that is, 1800 A.D. Among them, the inscriptions of the 12th year of Tongzhi are recorded in detail

Fengmen: Chinese Dictionary: 1. Acupuncture and moxibustion points, hands and feet, the meeting of the sun; 2. The windproof door added outside the door in winter, also known as fengmenzi; 3. The blowing method of musical instruments.

It is a kind of door in ancient architecture. That is to say, the double door is made in the outer door of the residential building, and the outer door is called the air door. The air door can be used outside the single door or the partition door. The height and width depend on the border size of the window. The air door usually opens outward and is often used together with the curtain frame to cover the wind and dust.

From the perspective of geographical location: in ancient times, places with dangerous geographical location and easy to defend and difficult to attack were called Fengmen. It is also called Xuanguan and fengmen'ao.

According to the theory of yin and Yang, the ancients believed that the whole direction of 90 degrees southeast is the most auspicious area, which is called "Fengmen". In the Qing Dynasty, Jiang Dahong wrote "the five songs of Yangzhai Tianyuan", which says: "there are more wind gates and eight Qi channels, so it's hard to avoid empty houses and walls. If you encounter the auspicious wind, your fortune will increase, if you encounter the killing wind, your life will be ruined. "Wind gate" refers to the place outside the house where there is a vacancy and there is wind. The person who says "wind gate" does not really have its own door. For example, if there is wind in the empty house, it means that the guest house near the house is not its own main house.

According to the above interpretation, combined with the investigation team's survey of the geographical location and layout of "Fengmen village", it is basically determined that "Fengmen village" is named after the geographical danger and Fengshui eight trigrams.

Historical records

According to the historical records of Qinyang, Qinyang City is located at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain, bordering Boai in the East, Jiyuan in the west, Wen and Meng counties in the South and Shanxi in the north. In Xia Dynasty, it was the first city of Qinhuai and belonged to Jizhou; in Shang Dynasty, it belonged to the capital; in Zhou Dynasty, it was granted the Marquis of e to Ying, and its place was the state of Ying. According to the above records, as early as the Xia Dynasty, Qinyang was an economic and commercial center in Northern Henan.

During the investigation of "Fengmen village", the team was surprised that one of the three temples in "Fengmen village" worshipped a pair of stone statues of men and women dressed in official costumes. The statues, male and female on the left and right, showed a dignified and dignified sitting form. On the left is a military general with angry eyes, and on the right is a civil servant standing in the middle. On the left is a yecha, and on the right is a maid. It can be inferred from its dress that it belongs to the dress of song and Ming Dynasties.

The investigation team then went over the clothing characteristics of song and Ming Dynasties. Compared with Tang style, the proportion of dress and skirt in Ming style is obviously reversed, which means that the length of upper garment is gradually lengthened and the length of exposed skirt is shortened. The collar also changed from the opposite collar in Song Dynasty to round collar. The most outstanding feature is that the buttons at the front replace the knot that has been used for thousands of years. However, buttons did not start in the Ming Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, buttons were used in the waistline of braided jacket. The use of buttons is also a change, reflecting the progress of the times. In addition, the popularity of Neo Confucianism also affected the fashion style to a certain extent.

Ming dynasty women's top is three necked narrow sleeve, three feet long, exposed skirt two or three inches. At that time, a new style was popular in Yangzhou: the length of the blouse was two feet and eight inches, the width of the sleeve was one foot and two inches, the outer sleeve was inlaid with brocade, and the mink and fox skin was inlaid in winter. In the early Ming Dynasty, the color of skirt was light. Skirt pleats are very popular, with fine pleats and large pleats. Pleated decoration is very particular. Some even make the whole piece of satin into fine pleated pattern by hand, which is called "hundred pleated skirt", and one kind of 24 pleated skirt is called "jade skirt". In Ming Dynasty, it was more common to take this style. Its shape was like a long colorful hanging band. Each Xiahe was 3.2 inches wide and 5.7 feet long. When taking it, it was wrapped around the neck and hung on the chest. Because of the gold or jade pendant hanging at the lower end, it became more and more noble.

Like other officials, the costumes of the scholars in Ming Dynasty, which were worn by the Confucians, had a detailed system. Such as "Shengyuan shirt, with jade cloth silk for it, wide sleeve soap edge, soap bar soft towel hanging belt.". All those who are in prison will not be subject to the same rules. " This is a set of literati costumes unearthed from Ming Tombs in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. At that time, it was called "Zhili", or "Zhishen". Scholars in scholars often wear this kind of clothing.

In the Ming Dynasty, the official's court clothes and public clothes were the officials who wore Wusha Futou and Zhijin mangpao. The clothing of civil and military officials in Ming Dynasty mainly includes court clothing, sacrificial clothing, public clothing, regular clothing, gift clothing and so on. Boa robe is a kind of emperor's clothing, wear boa robe to wear jade belt. The boa robe is similar to the Dragon robe worn by the emperor. It was not included in the official robe, but was given by the eunuch and Zaifu in Ming Dynasty. It is considered a great honor to receive such a gift. Because the "Fengmen village" statue has a long history, and the protection is not perfect, the erosion is more serious, unable to judge the identity of the characters. At the same time, we can only vaguely see that there should be a copywriter on the chest of the man in the seat, and judge his identity as an official from his clothes and official hat. But why do the residents of Fengmen village worship a couple of officials instead of gods? According to experts, things like this should be in the form of ancestral temple sacrifice. Moreover, "Fengmen village" used to be a place where an official lived in seclusion. Although it is no longer possible to further study these facts, there are various signs that Fengmen village indeed has an extraordinary story. From what will be introduced below, it is a person with certain management ability and cultural accomplishment who built this village.

building structure

Fengmen village is surrounded by mountains and built close to the mountains. The houses in the village are well arranged. There is a river in front of the village, and the village is built on the right bank of the river. In Fengmen village, except for partial collapse, there are 39 buildings and more than 200 houses in the village. The first impression of seeing Fengmen village from afar is a shock. Although it is already deep winter, but still can feel its beauty. Especially at the head of the village, there is a tree with more than 500 years of growth rings. Part of the root of the tree goes deep into the ground, and part of it is exposed outside. You can clearly see that the root is wrapped with stones, just like a general alone watching the village.

Except for one of the houses in the village (because there is a chair in the middle of the first floor of the house, most of the strange phenomena occur here) almost all of them are east-west. Most of the houses are three stories, all of them are of wood and stone structure, and the roofs are all small gray tiles. Housing construction is almost concentrated to two square meters, all concentrated to a kilometer around the place. Moreover, almost all of them are built skillfully by relying on the terrain and artificial foundation; it seems that they would rather pay several times of hard work to build the foundation than leave the collective and look for a flat place nearby to build houses.

There is a drainage channel in the village that can allow an adult to crawl on both knees. It is laid out under the house with a winding length of 100 meters. It is not difficult to see that the houses in the village seem to be constructed in a planned way. In the middle of the village, there is only one four story building. There are buildings on three sides of the house, and they are all artistically connected by building bridges,
