Location of Guigu Village: Northeast of Yangzhong Town, Youxi County, Sanming City, Fujian Province.
The ancient village of Guifeng in Youxi, Sanming, Fujian, is full of humanistic beauty. In autumn, the climate in the south is still hot, and many people go to the ancient village of Guifeng to shoot autumn folk customs.
In fact, the folk customs such as sunbathing in autumn in the ancient village of Guifeng are just a way to prepare for the famine after the autumn harvest in the farming era, which is not worth mentioning. The scenery that really fascinates me is not basking in autumn, but its respect for the beauty of human nature and the harmony between man and nature. It is a good book worth reading!
In recent years, I went to Youxi, Sanming, Fujian to see Feng Shui. I visited the local folk customs with the old man Lin Shangchang and the student Lin Youliang. I have been to Guifeng Village, a famous historical and cultural village, twice.
In recent years, I have been to Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Lu Xun and other famous artists, and come to a conclusion that the cultivation of cultural genes is the driving force to maintain the sustainable development of a family. People who live between heaven and earth feel the spirit of heaven and earth. The cultivation of genes lies in creating a peaceful living and learning environment conducive to physical and mental health.
Located in Guifeng Village, Yangzhong Town, Youxi County, Fujian Province, the whole village is surnamed Cai and is a blood village. According to records, Guifeng Village in Yangzhong Town, Youxi is a "famous village of Chinese history and culture". There were many historical and cultural celebrities in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which left rich cultural accumulation and spiritual wealth for the local area. Cai Chang, the ancestor of the ancient village, is the ninth grandson of Cai Xiang, a famous official and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty and a bachelor of Duanming Temple in Xianyou County. In the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, when the imperial court was in the southeast, he came here with his own people from Putian to live for nearly 800 years in order to escape the war. Historically, the style of writing here was flourishing and the people were well educated. Three generations of imperial examinations in Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhongjinshi 12, Zhongjinshi 4 12. By the Southern Song Dynasty, the houses built at that time had already disappeared in the depths of the years. The ancient buildings we see now are all buildings in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Originally, there were more than 100 seats, but due to years of disrepair, there were less than 80 seats. Once gorgeous, today's broken walls proves the ruthlessness of history. In 2002, it was named as "Fujian Famous Historical and Cultural Village", and in 2007, it was named as the third batch of famous Chinese historical and cultural villages by the state.
After reading the above introduction, you can't help thinking about the reasons for the success of the Chua family from the geomantic environment.
In ancient times, Guifeng was called Guiling, also known as Lingtou and Cailing, with an altitude of more than 550 meters. This is a semi-alpine canyon, surrounded by mountains, misty, beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. Known as "a hole in the mountain" and "a fairyland on the cloud". The whole village is located on three hillsides of the village, which are layered and patchwork. Small bridges in the village flow with winding paths leading to secluded places.
I think of a picture 76 1 years ago: Cai Xiang, the ninth calligrapher of the Ming Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty, moved south from the troubled war and set foot on the peaks of Daiqing Mountain and satin water, leaving enough landscapes. After centuries of hard work and creation, Cai's descendants have followed the ancestral motto of "farming and reading, and the name will last forever", and the wind of Confucianism has not diminished. Only in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were 3 Jinshi, 12 Jinshi and 4 12 Jinshi.
The originally silent Guifeng became lively, and people rushed to pay homage. Bustling footprints step on an official road, from Youxi to Fuzhou, passing Guifeng and Digne.
Since ancient times, people have always used convenient transportation in busy places. Where the ancient rivers and ports were developed, or where the official roads were located, the business was prosperous, and no business was not rich. The Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta are both areas with developed transportation. The theory of marine civilization in the 1980s also explained that in the process of opening up world civilization, the key to becoming a world power first lies in opening up the country, making use of abundant marine resources, expanding and strengthening import and export trade, and bringing money, which has been the case since ancient times. However, the present water has expanded its connotation. Road is water, shipping is water, and Internet is water. The information age has created a new way to create wealth. This is a situation that the ancients never thought of when they founded the theory of Feng Shui. Therefore, the theory of Feng Shui is not static, so we should keep pace with the times and constantly enrich our own theory. Knowledge is power.
The knowledge of future generations can change people's temperament and increase people's talents. Reading is the only way to wealth.
Shi Lian, Shi Shi CuO: "Three remonstrances make a great achievement, and Jiu Feng originated from Zhu and Li." On the back of his forehead, the words "purple gas comes from the east" are written. Through these words, we can see that Cai's descendants are tenacious and confident. Their ancestor Cai Xiang's achievements are not inferior to Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian's, while Cai's knowledge comes from, which also shows their determination to maintain Naizu's lifestyle. Every Gu Lou in Guifeng has a study, surrounded by ponds and flower beds, which not only adds a bit of scholarly charm, but also reflects the Chua family's emphasis on culture. Cai Geng's heirloom and respect for literature, especially his cultural taste in learning, being an official and doing business, have exerted a subtle influence on later generations.
In the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, hundreds of people in Guifeng Village have obtained technical secondary school education or above, including college students 158, 7 masters, and many professors and engineers. It can be seen that talents come out of Jiangshan, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before. There are also successful and rich people.
People are knowledgeable and value filial piety. The well-developed descendants of Cai's family "everyone knows Shui Mu's book, and the temple reported the ancestral business." Build a Chua's Ancestral Hall in Guifeng, named "Inscription Book", with a handsome case hall and a magnificent Long Mai.
In the tenth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (167 1), the Chua family reached its peak, which coincided with Cai Maoxiang's senior high school entrance examination, so it allocated funds to build the "Golden Crown" Chua ancestral hall. In contrast, more than 30 new houses have sprung up, and Gui Feng has become a celebrity within hundreds of miles of Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang. When we walked into the Chua's Ancestral Hall, which covers an area of nearly 65,438+0,000 square meters, a cultural atmosphere came to us, and you had to feel its grandeur and exquisiteness. On the central axis are the main hall, the middle hall and the gatehouse in turn. The ground is paved with slate and concrete, which is very strong. The whole temple consists of 80 huge pillars and wide beams, without a nail or an iron, and all the pillars are inlaid with mortises and tenons. Unique plaques such as "father and son", "brother" and "younger brother and sister" in the temple show the pride and pride of the Chua family.
According to textual research, Chua's Ancestral Hall was originally Chua's ancestral home, with Ren Xiang and Wu Zixu on the iceberg, new trees in Shuikou and roots in Laishui. Chua's ancestral hall, soldiers, into the small space, water, water. Cai Yuanqing (Wu Zhuangyuan), the gate of Renshan Yangzhai is in the direction of C and meridian, the hall is in the direction of Gengshan, and the entrance of Shuikou is ugly; Long Hao's former residence, Yu Xiang, Shuikou; Patio effluent is pungent; Shimen Mountain is ugly, but a turtle can't serve the morning sun. The T-shaped patio carries water, and the courtyard door faces the sea as a dry mountain. Located at the top of the mountain, Houmentian Dacuo Maoshan has a single direction, many Shuikou mountains and many intentional mountains, which are three peaks.

After finishing the business of geomantic omen, you will always find the beauty of geomantic omen here, and treat every business trip as a tour of geomantic omen culture. The ancients said well: "Take Wan Li Road and read thousands of books!" Life is in a hurry, make time to see more famous mountains and rivers in the limited life time, and let the beautiful scenery be in your chest; Stay in famous places, look at other people's successful history and absorb spiritual nutrition.
I pay special attention to the investigation of ancient villages in the depths of mountains and rivers. These famous historical and cultural villages bear too much glory. Walking into a series of ancient houses is to open a period of history. They are far away and quiet;
When you open the compass to interpret Feng Shui, it is like panning for gold in the sand and tasting a historical poem, which is meaningful. Man, when you get the aura of mountains and rivers, you are telling the story of outstanding people.
If you don't believe me, please approach Guifeng, experience its simple life and examine the Feng Shui connotation contained in the beautiful landscape here!
