I always thought that ancient villages had a very historical sense and cultural relics could be seen everywhere. The ancient village had experienced a long history of baptism, was simple, low-key and quite connotative. In the current era of very hot tourism, these ancient villages have also become tourist attractions for tourists to check in. Therefore, many villages in China have been developed into tourist attractions, which are very familiar ancient towns. Most of the ancient towns in my country are located in the Jiangnan area, because the ancient towns in Jiangnan are more in line with the artistic conception of small bridges and flowing water houses.
Among the attractions of Jiangnan ancient towns, Anhui’s ancient town attractions are the most prominent, not because Anhui ancient towns have the longest history, but because many ancient towns in Anhui have a unique Huizhou cultural atmosphere. There are many famous ancient towns in Anhui, especially in southern Anhui. There are many Hui-style ancient villages, such as Xidi , Hongcun , etc., which are now well-known. The ancient village I will introduce to you today is very low-key, not very well-known, and has not yet been developed into a tourist attraction.
This ancient village is called " Zhukou Village ". Zhukou Village is located in Huangshan City. There are many well-known attractions in Huangshan City. This ancient village has been ignored by people. The village is located west of Qimen County . It is also bordered by Jiangxi's Fuliang County . Outside the village, there is a big river flowing from north to south, and after several major turns, it flows through Zhukou Village. When you come to Zhukou Village, you must look for a high place to look down and look at the overall structure of the village. At this time, you will find that the shape of the entire village is like a "gong". The locals also believe that such a terrain is a Feng Shui treasure land.
Another unique feature is that there are only 2 water wells in Zhukou Village. These two water wells contain gongs that have two eyes that penetrate ropes. Therefore, for thousands of years, in order not to destroy such Feng Shui, the third water well has never been allowed to be dug. The surrounding environment of the village is also very good. Zhukou Village is surrounded by mountains on one side and water on three sides. Zhukou Village has a long history. You can often see some thick ancient trees in the village. These ancient trees look quite vicissitudes, but they still have vigorous branches and leaves.
The main residents living in Zhukou Village are the Ni, Wu and Hu. Among them, the Ni family has the largest number of residents, and about 90% of the residents are the Ni family. Zhukou Village was built during the Northern Song Dynasty. The literary style of this village has always been very prosperous. In order to encourage the clan members to make progress and form a reading style, the Ni family adopted many praise systems. The most solemn thing is that whenever a scholar in the village achieves fame, the clan members will build a pile of flagpole piers for him, place it at the door of the ancestral hall, insert flagpoles, and hang flags.
Be sure to walk the ancient alley here when you visit the ancient village. The ancient alley is deep and on the walls on both sides of the alley. If you look closely, you will find unexpectedly. That is wall carving. The wall carving art in Zhukou Village is extremely complicated and can be seen in all kinds of images. However, the most are flowers and plants, assisted with beautiful ancient beasts such as Qilin.
