Trapezoidal row houses in shuiyanping Village

Shuiyanping is a small village about 8 kilometers away from Wanshan city. There are more than 100 families with the surname Wu. Because of its unique wooden house construction and long history, there are ancient camphor wells, groups of karst caves, ancient castles and pagodas, tea lanterns and flower drums, as well as the traditional tofu craft and strong Dong ethnic customs, which give people the idea of exploring the ancient and looking for strange things. it takes less than 10 minutes to drive to shuiyanping from gaolouping township government in Zaoxiang, eastern Guizhou. Standing at the entrance of the village, you can see that the low hills are surrounded by a elegant stockade like a wall. The green tile and wooden houses are closely connected and arranged. There is a fertile field in front of the house, and a large area of fruit forest behind the house. The mountains are covered by ancient trees. Under the blue sky, they are swaying in the wind, showing the charm of a beautiful and elegant paradise. It is said that shuiyanping was originally called Narcissus screen. As early as 1630 ad, it was a wonderful lake like Tianchi Lake. The ancestors of Zhou and Liu fled the war and moved to the hillside on the lake bank. They were forced to move to other places because they ran out of food and grass and had no land to cultivate. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the ancestor of the Wu family passed by this place. Through observation, he thought it was a good place to recuperate. So he asked the navy to go down to the lake to learn about the situation of the lake. He found that there was a cave at the bottom of the lake which was blocked by sediment. After trying to break it open, the water gradually faded away. Three days later, a piece of original flat land appeared. The ancestors of the Wu family began to cultivate farmland and build their homes on the flat land. The building of shuiyanping began in 1946 and was completed in 1962 according to the plan. Shuiyanping village has 110 households and 451 people, all of whom are surnamed Wu. They have a complete genealogy, which records the history of the Wu family, draws a map of shuiyanping village and eight scenery poems of shuiyanping. The eight sceneries are: Sanxing Gujing, Jinzhong, Gudong Hanyan, Caifeng Chaoyang, Shuangchi moon breaking, Xiaotian lion, Feiyan Chaoliang and Xuetang. The poem of "Jinzhong in the bureau" says: "famous mountains are as skillful as Jinzhong, but they are just chemical products made by heaven and earth. looking at Cui Weiling's beautiful appearance from afar makes people mistake xiaogufeng. There are two semicircular pools in shuiyanping village, so the village is called shuiyanping village. The scene of "two pools breaking the moon" describes the two pools. The poem says: "the double pools outside the gate are deep with clear water, and the natural structure is skillfully formed. climbing the stairs and looking at the bright moon night, you can see two places with a little light. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi sent people from Sizhou to shuiyanping to inspect the courtyard planning, house structure, ancient castle and pagoda. The visiting officials were very surprised and happily wrote a inscription to praise the stele. Although the stele has no certificate to be tested, the "house yard of shuiyanping" has been praised for hundreds of years. walking to the right side of the gate of the ancient village, a fresh air comes with the wind, refreshing. It turns out that there is a source of drinking water in the village -- Guzhang well. Looking around, in the lush green, there is a huge thousand year old camphor tree, which is dense and shady. A well surrounded by stones is so clear. The gurgling spring flows from the ancient camphor into the well pool, and then slowly overflows out. It is refreshing and refreshing, and fatigue is completely eliminated. according to the old man, since the ancestor of Wu family came to live in shuiyanping, there has never been an epidemic of plague and other infectious diseases. From a medical point of view, camphor has the function of preventing and treating cerebrovascular and digestive diseases, and can improve the immune ability of human disease resistance. For many years, shuiyanping well has never dried up, and its daily flow has reached more than 10 tons. Even if the water source is polluted due to drought, there is still no case of infectious diseases in the digestive tract and respiratory tract in the village. When you enter the ancient village, you will find that the layout is quite different from that of other Dong villages. The houses in the courtyard are all made of miscellaneous wood such as masang and Jianli. The stone piers that laid the foundation for the pillars are all carved into drum shape and engraved with various flower and bird landscape patterns. However, with the passage of time, the historical traces have almost been erased and become a little vague. The gate of the courtyard is divided into the main gate and the secondary gate. The main gate is divided into two layers, which is open in the shape of eight characters. The wall of the courtyard is 4 meters high. The murals with pictures and texts are engraved on the wall of the gate, which is simple and solemn, showing a kind of noble spirit. there are six rows of wooden house courtyards with a gradient of 2-3 meters. The front of each row is made of square stones in a straight line, with an area of about 500 square meters. It is called courtyard dam. There are four households in each row and five households are connected. All the wing rooms, pigsty and cowshed of the Dong family stand at two ends. The toilet is built beside the pigsty house, and firewood, sundries and agricultural tools are piled up Fire prevention and disaster prevention is a taboo, and there has never been fire disaster in the village, which can not help but marvel at the courage and strange fire prevention methods of Wu's ancestors. it is said that the ancestors of the Wu family built two wells in front of the courtyard, called moon pool, to prevent fire. During the construction, two kinds of fire were buried in the pool, because in the hearts of the Dong family, there are auspicious and gentle people and things. As long as the moon swallows the fire, there will be no fire. However, it is also strange that shuiyanping has never been hit by a fire for hundreds of years. In 1978, it was awarded the title of "provincial model unit without fire for 100 years" by the provincial government. When the Provincial Department of construction visited Guizhou in 2003, it was regarded as the first major discovery in the architectural history of Guizhou Province, and was ordered to be properly protected. Walk out of the courtyard of the ancient house and walk hundreds of steps westward to Jinzhong mountain, a low mountain like a temple bell. There are still stone walls on the top of the mountain. According to historical records, it was built in the Qing Dynasty (1690) for half a century. The wall is two feet high, three feet wide, and covers an area of about 2000 square meters. It is divided into two gates: East and West. Inside it stands a three story pavilion with a tower. On the top of it, there was a big bronze bell weighing more than 20 jin bought from Changde, Hunan Province. On the first floor, there are three Buddha statues. Every month, Wu people and believers from all over the world go to offer incense and make vows. In the middle of Ming Dynasty (about 1780), due to social unrest, banditry was rampant, and the bronze bells and Buddha statues in the tower were looted by bandits. In 1810, the village collected silver and trained martial arts to resist foreign invasion. In 1958, the village also carried a rusty steel knife from the fort and sold it to the supply and marketing cooperative. But the old scene is not there, and the eyes are bleak. Only the surviving martial arts stone tools, such as the hand stone pier of more than 240 Jin, and the stone hammer of nearly 100 pieces, show their glory to the later generations. On the right side of Jinzhong mountain, the villagers also built another ancient pagoda in 1730, which is more than 10 meters high and 100 meters around. The pagoda is divided into three layers. At the top of the pagoda, there is a stone carving like a gourd, which is engraved with pictures and scenery. There are two holes in the pagoda to store and manage the village's writing objects. Only because it was destroyed by the "four old", only 70% of the stone paintings in shidun can be seen. When I came down the mountain, I felt a little tired and didn't want to walk. But the villagers say that there is another wonder in the world in shuiyanping, which must be seen. It is the "water curtain cave" in shuiyanping. Walking along a path on a small hillside of the village, you will find a very hidden cave. It is said that in the 12th year of the Republic of China, wooden houses were built in the cave for the old and young people to avoid banditry. The entrance is only nine feet wide and is a triangle with a wide bottom and a narrow top. When we move forward again, we are suddenly enlightened. The sound of water is murmuring and the sand is sinking like millet. A quiet and cool wind penetrates into our body and makes us feel tired. Because of his curiosity, he walked about 2 kilometers and found that the cave was the best place. During this period, the path is vertical and horizontal, twists and turns, uncanny workmanship
