Forgotten Anyue Ancient Village Culture

Anyue, a small county in the center of Sichuan Basin, is also a big county! Saying that he is young is that the economy is not developed enough at present; He is a populous county, an agricultural county, a national lemon production base and a hometown of stone carving art in Sichuan. However, one thing about Anyue has been forgotten. That is Anyue Ancient Village!

According to the survey, Anyue has more than 300 ancient stone villages in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are located at the highest peak of each village. As for the ancient village, its initial function was either to escape the war, or to station troops by the government, or to raise funds to build temples far away from the secular world.

According to the inscriptions on the village, the gate of the village and the memories of ordinary people, most of these scattered ancient villages in China were built in the period of frequent wars in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. According to records, Tianmazhai, located in Hulong Town, was the earliest place to build a village. Founded in the first year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (477), it covers an area of more than 50 mu.

In fact, Anyue is not only an ancient, diverse, exquisite and beautiful stone carving art. The wonders and performances of these ancient villages should also be protected and passed down. Strangely, strip stones are still piled up on the steep rock wall, which shows that many stone carvings on these stones and the influence and close relationship of stones on people's lives. In rural courtyards, stone houses, stone windmills, stone mills, stone pots, stone furnaces ... you can also see stone troughs for pigs and chickens and ducks.

Anyue ancient village can be summarized as big, ancient, different, strange and beautiful. The defense function of ancient villages is relatively strong. All ancient villages, big or small, have two similarities: first, stockades are on the highest hillside around; Second, there are pools of different sizes, all of which are dug out of a whole stone for life and fire prevention. Every stockade is like a book with endless stories.

The most famous ancient villages in Anyue probably belong to Qianfo Village, Yuntai Village, Wubao Village and Dacheng Mountain. Many other ancient villages were almost destroyed due to poor protection. For example, Tianbao Village in Tianbao Township has only the highest Zhaimen, and other Dazhaimen areas have been destroyed. I hope it can be well protected. This is also a kind of culture.
