How is the geomantic omen in Shaoguan house?

In people's minds, Guangdong is the richest province in China. There are first-tier cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as well as many developed cities in the Pearl River Delta. However, some places far away from the Pearl River Delta region are extremely dull. For example, Shaoguan, a city that few people pay attention to in Guangdong, has too many scenic spots, rich and colorful tourism resources and high grade. The largest Hakka paddock in Guangdong is one of the small places worth visiting.

Is Mantang Hakka Wai, also known as Mantangwei Tower Tower, located in Aizai Town, Shixing County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province. This is a scenic spot of great historical significance. Mantangwei Tower Tower was built in the light years of Qing Dynasty, covering an area of13860m2 and a building area of 340 10/0m2.

There are about 200 Hakka enclosed houses in Shixing County, Shaoguan, among which Mantangwei Tower Tower is the largest and most complete, and the largest in Guangdong. Mantangwei Tower Tower is built in the form of "square enclosure", which is a unique architectural style in southern China. Just like the quadrangle in the north, it is made of blue bricks, river stones and tile wood, and is divided into three enclosed buildings with a depth of 83.4 meters and a width of 10.

Mantangwei Tower Tower, three building units in four corners, 12 Observation building. It's like a village compound, with fields with flowers and greens, ancestral halls, patios, bedrooms, kitchens and granaries. There are 777 houses in it, with peaks behind the Mantangwei Tower Tower and rivers in front. Its wall foundation is very strong, generally 0.6 meters thick.

The site selection and construction of Mantang Hakka enclosure are also very particular. When building houses, the ancients paid great attention to geomantic omen and the unity of man and nature. Mantang is surrounded by buildings in the north, west and south. The left, middle and right buildings strictly follow the traditional concept of geomantic omen, and there is an open space in the north-central part. The ancients pieced together a Tai Chi map of heaven and earth with goose warm stones, which reflected the Confucian realm of harmony between man and nature. In addition, many doors and windows have traditional mascots of China, such as pine, bamboo and Meilan.

Mantangwei Tower Tower is known as "the first enclosure in Lingnan". It was originally built to resist foreign enemies and protect its own villagers. Now, it is peaceful and prosperous, it no longer needs to surround itself so tightly, and it begins to move towards a wider world. Many foreigners have regarded it as a tourist attraction, and the locals have warmly received it.

Now, walking inside the Mantangwei Tower Tower, I feel a strong historical atmosphere, bold and simple, and exquisite and elegant. Looking at the sky from the high wall, it is square, just like the ancients of that year. It should be difficult to go out and see the vast world at ordinary times, just like people's minds. We must open our eyes to see the wider world.
