As our income is getting higher and higher and our living conditions are getting better, we also find that the number of friends who travel abroad is increasing gradually every year. Especially the well-known scenic spots, every day is a sea of people. These places, we will also find that no matter when we come, they seem to be particularly crowded, because there are so many people that we have no interest in seeing the scenery at all. Therefore, Xiao Bian feels that those lively places, of course, have some merits, but niche attractions are also worth visiting! This Shangyue ancient residence is very interesting. Let's follow Xiaobian to learn about it!
Shangyue ancient residence is located in Fogang County, Guangdong Province. Its construction history dates back to the Southern Song Dynasty, and it has a long history of more than 72 years. The ancient village has also won the reputation of rural demonstration sites and the first batch of ancient villages. At present, there are more than 4, villagers in the scenic spots, covering an area of 45, square meters. The ancient buildings in the village are well preserved, and the architectural style we see has a strong Lingnan style. The village contains 37 buildings and 18 ancient houses, and we can see the walls and roofs in the architectural style. Gables are ear-shaped, so we call them pot-ear buildings. We can see all kinds of patterns around the eaves, and we can also see the North Building, the South Building and the West Building around the village.
The whole small village is about 2 meters long and 5 meters deep. There are about 6, people living here with the Zhu clan. Now the descendants here have passed down to the 32nd generation. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the family chose this quiet small village because they fled to the south with Song Gongdi. Then, I have lived here until today.
In the process of construction, the ancient houses in Shangyue, according to the layout of geomantic omen, embody the unique advantages of ecological harmony. The village takes Li as its structural layout. At present, there are 18 Li and 18 ponds in the village, and they are distributed in each Li again. Most of the buildings we see in the village are wooden structures, and the roof design is mainly hard mountain style, with clear water walls piled with blue bricks and pot walls, which are commonly known as pot buildings. Each building is designed with two patios, and the rooms are provided with windows, which are mainly used for ventilation and lighting. The layout of residential houses is particularly standardized and unified, with typical architectural characteristics, and the architectural technology also looks particularly chic.
The three ancient wells in the village have a history of nearly a hundred years. Although it has been a long time, the water source is still constant, and the well water tasted is very sweet. This is entirely related to its structure. The internal structure of the ancient well looks narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and its shape is like a modern light bulb. Even in hot weather, such a special structure is not easy to make the well water evaporate quickly, and it can also effectively maintain the temperature of the well water. Surprisingly, a hundred years ago, the villagers had such ingenious creativity, which really surprised people.
According to the old people in the village, this ancient well is the drinking water they usually use, whether for washing clothes, cooking or making tea. Today, the ancient village has changed a lot, but the ancient well still exists, and the taste of well water is still so sweet. People who work from outside often drink a glass of well water to solve their homesickness. Would you be interested in such an ancient residence, my friend?
