Impression of Qingtian Ancient Village in Shunde

? (Part of this article is arranged according to the villagers' dictation, or it is open to question. )

Qingtian ... a book of Feng Shui worth reading.

First of all, it was conceived in the inner room, and no one knew her.

I came across an ancient village in Shunde, which is similar to the famous Daqitou village in Sanshui.

This village can be said to have grown up in a secret room, and no one knows her. The road from the village is opposite to the so-called Feng Jian Village in Zhouzhuang, Shunde.

Every holiday, the traffic to visit Fengjian will be blocked for several kilometers, but no one will bypass Qingtian.

What a pity for birds! What a pity for birds!

Qingtian ancient village has eight views of Qingtian:

Time-shifted long street, a century-old tree, fragrant lotus pond, jade belt around the village, more buildings for future visits, Qinglong pier, green snails and bamboo, and school heritage.

Second, the geographical location

Qingtian Village, Longtan Village, Xingtan Town, Shunde District

Third, history.

According to villagers, Qingtian has a history of more than 500 years.

Qingtian village is surnamed Liu, and there are residual stone strips engraved with the word' Pengcheng' in the village. Pengcheng is the place where Liu Bang started, and all the descendants of Liu Bang take Pengcheng as their witness.

? Liu's two brothers moved into the village from Liu's ancestral hall of Longtan Dashe, which gave birth to Liu's villagers today.

Fourth, the layout of villages.

? 1, snail shape

The snail shell found by the pond, the image of the village?

? Qingtian village is like a snail as a whole. The snail's mouth is in the southwest corner of the village, marked by a pile of bamboo piles, and it is called "snail cover (known as snail cover in Cantonese)":

? The snail bottom is located in the east of the northeast corner of the village and is called "snail governor (Cantonese governor means bottom)";

? Interestingly, due to the existence of snails, villagers in the old days followed the rules of geomantic omen. Houses must be muddy, not hard, and rivers cannot be hardened. Raising ducks and drilling wells are not allowed in the village to maintain a feng shui environment conducive to the survival of snails.

? There is an ancient figure in this bamboo pile: in those days, my wife used three or five old cork heads as the bottom pile, covered it with pond mud, planted bamboo, and cultivated bamboo, forming today's bamboo pile with water conservancy function. After hundreds of years.

2. Ancient architecture

? The core of Qingtian Village is an ancient architectural complex built in the Qing Dynasty, with more than 65,438+000 households, most of which are blue brick houses.

Qingtian people have attached importance to education since ancient times. In a small village with 100 families, there are two bookstores without ancestral halls:

3. Kowloon Lane

? Houses are arranged neatly, forming nine alleys, all paved with high-grade granite. Every alley runs through the north and south, like nine Wolong, so it is called Jiulong Lane. Because all the alleys lead to the reservoir in front of the village, the villagers also call it' the Pearl of Dragon Play'.

4. Before Pingba Village and Shifan Long Street:

? To the south of the complex is a flat dam, which is the same width as the complex. The design of village pingba can generally meet the following needs of residents: collective activities, such as sacrificial meetings, various banquets, drying crops, etc. ?

? Qingtian people call it Time-shifting Long Street. The street is108m long and10.8m wide and is paved with 1800 pieces of granite.

? Masonry pavement shows that the owner's economic strength is relatively strong, and it is the paving material on the tall road in that year.

5. Superb design of water conservancy facilities

? 1/ ? The direction of the moat water flow is amazing.

? According to the villagers, at the location of Luo Yan, that is, at the entrance of the whole village, there is a hidden dam with many rugged boulders piled on it. After entering Qingtian from the west, the Xijiang River water is blocked by hidden dikes, naturally flows to the southern river, then bypasses the village, passes through the northern part of the village, and returns to the place where Luo Yan is the entrance of the whole village. At the water inlet, the water does not directly flow out of the village, but forms a circle around the bamboo piles, enters the village pier and flows out of the village. At the same time, the gap formed by tidal fluctuation is used.

This design is reminiscent of Dujiangyan.

You may not be able to explain the mystery clearly here, so you need to ask experts for advice.

It is said that the water depth at the screw cap and the screw head exceeds the height of two people, which is estimated to be the need of water flow design.

2/ ? Docking of external windows

? In the past, the dock was the gateway to the water passage, through which goods came in and out, and the bride had to go ashore from this dock.

? 3/ Qiancun Reservoir

? To the south of Pingba is a pond as wide as the building complex.

The function of the pond is to provide domestic water, adjust environmental humidity, raise fish and lotus roots, and put out fires. A well-designed village in the Pearl River Delta will be equipped with a pond in the south of the village.

? In summer, the pond will be full of lotus flowers, attracting movie friends from all over the world to watch the beautiful scenery:

6. Five stone heads, three stones and two stones

? In the past, granite (a kind of granite) was an advanced building material for paving roads. Qingtian villagers used to use a few stones to show the size of the road.

? It is said that the owner of this village is the Liu brothers, each of whom owns half of the village. The distinguishing sign is that the building part of the flat dam is higher than the threshold stone of the flat dam.

The flat dam in front of the village is about three centimeters higher than the flat dam below drip line. There are five stone parts on the pavement, and the corresponding buildings are my brother's property, while the buildings corresponding to the three stone parts are my brother's property. A very interesting sign.

? Some people say that five stone slabs belong to the first wife and three stone slabs belong to the concubine. It is said that both the mistress in the East and the concubine in the West are waiting, or vice versa. . .

Please distinguish carefully. Three to five centimeters above the ground along the corner is the difference.

Five stone heads:

Three stones:

? Two stones:

? It turns out that Huancun Road is made of two stones. Later, in order to connect the car, the slate road was paved with cement, and the slate was pressed under the cement.

? Kowloon Lane is entirely composed of two stones.

7, moat, Qingtian people call it Yudaihuan Village.

? In the early days, the village was surrounded by rivers, and the villagers led to the outside of the village through four wooden bridges. At night, the plank of the wooden bridge is put away, and the village is isolated from the outside world, forming a safety circle.

? The rivers around the village are like the belts of ancient officials; Because there are four bridges, it is also like carrying a child's strap. It is said that only people in the court and Guangdong can use the strap like this. He said it was like a golden dragon with five claws.

8. More floors

Built in the Qing Dynasty, there used to be three watchtowers, one of which collapsed in the north, and the other two were located on both sides of the village:

The watchtower in the west, the banyan tree and the gun tower live together;

Once, the watchtower was covered with vines, and the villagers were worried about damaging the watchtower, which made the vines wither:

9. Overall layout:

? Generally speaking, the ancient buildings have formed a natural village, with the village sitting north to south, and the relationship between the nine lanes and the pond is that dragons play with pearls. The whole village is surrounded by rivers and ponds, and the design of water supply and drainage is very scientific. No matter from the aspects of safety and fire prevention, convenience of life or geomantic design, the whole layout is perfect, which can not help but admire the superb design and construction level of our ancestors.

It is said that the designer who designed the village smoked opium, and the design reward of the whole village was 8 Jin of opium.

This pattern surrounded by rivers is better than Daqitou Village.

I really want to kneel down to the wisdom of my ancestors' design ideas.

10, the dream of developing tourism

Qingtian, like jade, is a talented person who can carve.

Qingtian is an ancient village with a very complete layout of geomantic design and a very high level. Until now, the mystery of its water conservancy construction has not been fully understood. Who designed the village and what is the design concept? . . Still exploring.

? The invasion of ancient buildings by modern buildings is relatively light, the original appearance is relatively complete, and it is not polluted by small factories and workshops. The village looks clean and civilized, and the villagers are warm and hospitable. It is a good embryo worthy of becoming a typical traditional ancient village in the Pearl River Delta and a tourist hotspot.

? It is said that the village has made a tourism plan and will start construction soon. In fact, the inn has been redecorated.

I have been decorating the inn and will be able to welcome guests in half a year;

Qingtian scenery:

1 1, impression of villagers

? The author met Mr. Liu Ruiqing and Mr. Liu Yunping from Qingtian Village in Sanzhou 678 Village, and they introduced Qingtian enthusiastically and in detail.

I want to thank them and wish Qingtian Village a good development.

Enthusiastic villagers

treat cordially

I am full of expectations for the development of the village.

The history of the village is being sorted out.

How to develop the village healthily needs to give guidance to the villagers.

Environmental protection issues, such as garbage and sewage treatment.

Preserve history and protect ancient buildings and their building materials

Economic interest problem

Tourist volume planning

Tourism project planning

. . .

12, Qingtian development suggestion: build a base for photography, painting and wedding photography of ancient villages in the Pearl River Delta.

1/ build an ancient village with green tourism to put an end to pollution,

Prohibit industry from entering the village and put an end to industrial pollution;

Raise funds and raise funds to build sewage pipe networks and sewage treatment plants;

2/ Preserve the architectural features of ancient villages and create primitive ancient villages.

Put an end to tile veneer, and all old houses can only be rebuilt with blue bricks. Because blue bricks are the characteristics of ancient villages, each tile veneer will depreciate the value of ancient villages;

All shops are decorated with traditional materials, antique;

All stone pavements must be preserved, and no new cement pavements can be added in the village, because new cement pavements will also devalue the ancient village;

3. Use one of the private schools to establish Qingtian Museum of History and Folklore to collect cultural relics;

4. Use another private school to establish a painting and calligraphy photography activity room, organize various related activities and display works;

5. Try to transform one or two houses into wedding inns to attract wedding photographers, their families and photographers;

6. Around the village, open up four seasons of flowers, rape flowers in spring, lotus sunflowers in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn and winter and lavender in Fengxian Xiao to increase tourists and wedding photography projects; The base of the fish pond is also a good condition for planting flowers to form a landscape;

7/ ? Get one or two flower boats to cooperate with wedding photography, take photos while playing on the Jade Belt River, and create a wedding reception plan on the dock;

8. Cultivate ornamental animals such as peacocks and parrots to enrich the subject matter of photography;

9. Organize a model photo contest to expand the influence of the ancient village.
