Porcelain has a low-key ancient town, which has both the style of Jiangnan water town and the elegance of Huizhou architecture.

"Life is not just the present, but also poetry and distance." This sentence expresses the beautiful yearning of contemporary young people for returning to primitive life. For a time, the upsurge of rural tourism swept the tourism hot list. With the development of rural tourism industry, more and more ancient towns and villages have come into public view. To say well-known ancient towns, the ancient towns in southern Anhui and the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River must bear the brunt. For me who love traveling in ancient towns, both the exquisiteness and elegance in southern Anhui and the elegance and gracefulness in southern Jiangnan have their own characteristics. Located in the world's three major cultural heritage centers (Huangshan, Lushan, Xidi and Hongcun), there is a little-known ancient town, which has both the architectural genre of Huizhou and the water town style of Taoyuan Wonderland, and is also the main birthplace of Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital-Yaoli.

There has always been a saying in Jiangxi: If ceramics have supported Jingdezhen for a thousand years, Yaoli has supported Jingdezhen ceramics for a thousand years. Yaoli Ancient Town, located in the east of Fuliang County, Jingdezhen City, Jiangxi Province, was called Yaoli in ancient times. Named after the famous porcelain kiln. It burned for thousands of years, and it was not until the beginning of this century that the porcelain kiln was renamed as "Kiln". Yaoli is rich in tourism resources and is known as "the source of porcelain, the hometown of tea and the sea of forests". In 2005, six national brands (China historical and cultural town, China natural and cultural heritage list, national key scenic spots, national 4a scenic spots, national forest park and Gaoling national mine park) were jointly exhibited. However, such excellent hardware conditions are unlucky. The surrounding famous scenic spots and China porcelain make it difficult for Yaoli to enter the public's field of vision.

Unlike other ancient towns, Yaoli is more like an isolated place. Compared with the ancient town with serious commercialization now, the simple folk customs of Yaoli ancient town are the most attractive. It combines natural scenery such as mountains, forests, waterfalls and canyons with human landscapes such as ancient towns and ancient kiln sites. It not only has profound cultural accumulation, but also is a green fairyland for people to enjoy nature. The ancient buildings in Huizhou in Ming and Qing Dynasties with white walls and tiles and upturned cornices stand on both sides of streets paved with bluestones, and the small bridges and flowing water in ancient Huizhou still retain simple folk customs.

Hundreds of ancient Huizhou buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties can be seen everywhere, hidden in the mountains and rivers. The fixed pier, which is composed of ancient bridges, ancient streets and ancient docks, can still see the rut marks left by transportation in those years on the road today, lamenting that it once flourished as a waterway fortress and was worthy of being the source of the Maritime Silk Road.

If the Huizhou architecture in the ancient town allows you to travel back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the combination of gloomy landscape forests and Yaoli ancient town, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there used to be a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yaoli, with a forest coverage rate of over 94%, is still a "natural oxygen bar", which makes the ancient town beautiful. In addition, there is an ancient road in Rao Hui, with a total length of about 65,438+00 kilometers and a width of 3 meters, which is paved with granite. On the way, there is also a Fuyuan Bridge built for the Ming Dynasty. Its ingenious design is practical and elegant, and it is a unique landscape of the ancient road from Huizhou to Raozhou. Walking down from the waterfall ring road, stepping on Shangrao Huihui Ancient Road and crossing Fuyuan Bridge, I can't help but sigh that the beautiful scenery has gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes but no one knows it.

However, the most important thing to come to Yaoli is to see the ancient kiln site. Yaoli Scenic Area is particularly large, and the ancient town, Wang Hu Eco-tourism Area, Huannan Ceramic Tourism Area and Kaolin Mine Ruins Park are scattered. Yaoli ancient kiln was built on the beautiful river bank. Built in the late Western Han Dynasty, it has a history of more than 2,000 years. Porcelain industry in Song Dynasty developed rapidly, Yaoli reached its brilliant peak, which also promoted the development of Jingdezhen nearby. Jingdezhen came from behind and became more famous than Yaoli, and later became a prefecture-level city. Yaoli returned to silence and became an ancient town. Although the ancient kiln has been moved out, I don't know how many beautiful porcelains have been burned in the ancient kiln. Although the ancient kiln has been deserted and silent, it still seems to tell the long history of the porcelain capital and the splendid culture created by ceramic artists.
