Dachangjin is a good place to study Hakka culture.

Dawan Stone House, located at No.33 Dawan Road, Pingshan District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, is not only one of the top ten Hakka ancient villages (ancient houses) in Shenzhen, but also a good place to study Hakka culture.

Built in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty (1736- 1795), it covers an area of 15000 square meters and is one of the largest square Hakka paddocks in China.

Entering Shijumen, colorful azaleas are blooming in the ancient courtyard, and two magnificent statues stand on both sides of the gate. One is Zong Sheng, who has lived in Zeng's family for a long time, and the other is Duan Yigong Zeng, the owner of a noble family.

To tell the truth, before I came to Shenzhen, Hakka was just a simple term for me. After coming to Shenzhen, I found that the Hakka culture with a long history behind the characters was originally the most essential part of China's ancient culture.

Strolling in this ancient courtyard full of vicissitudes gives people a feeling of crossing time and space. Here, every step and place can make you feel the wisdom of our ancestors and the broad feelings of respecting heaven and loving people.

Hegel, a world-famous philosopher, once compared architecture to solidified music, which can be said to be too appropriate for Hakka enclosed houses represented by Dashiwanju.

Not to mention the geomantic concept that the overall layout of the building is low first and then high, but it is enough to surprise people with the exquisite paintings and calligraphy in the house.

On the wall of the nave, Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Teng-ting, Meng Haoran's Spring Dawn, Wang Zhihuan's Lusu, Jin Changxu's Spring Complaint, the vivid paintings of the Eight Immortals and other cursive remains, as well as the couplets on the front door of the nave, which are "harmonious but different, happy and harmonious", and the mural poems in the study courtyard are all from The Book of Songs.

The back wall of the whole building is built in a semi-circular arc shape, which echoes the front half-moon wind pool and contains the wisdom of balance between yin and yang, roundness and harmony between man and nature.

The stone road in the yard is covered with moss, and the mottled walls are like natural sketches of Chinese painting. The prosperity of the past, like faded time, has been lost in the long river of history, and even the festive noise and quiet smoke can only be remembered in the light and shadow of the exhibition room.

Fortunately, no matter how the society develops and people are impetuous, there will still be some people of insight who can understand that culture is the root of a nation.

The old house can talk, but I don't know how many people still like to listen. Going to the scholar's residence in your spare time will bring you unexpected spiritual shock and cultural nourishment.
