Although the background setting of the drama version is fictional, the white wall and black tile background in the picture are all real Huizhou and Five Schools buildings. Among them, the home of the male coach Jia Mo shot Zhuge Bagua Village. Zhuge Village, located in Lanxi City, has a long-standing reputation. It can stand out among many ancient villages naturally because of its two or three events with Zhuge Liang's family.
Zhuge village is low in the middle and high around. At that time, when the village was built, it was simply adapted to local conditions to the extreme, and it also referred to Feng Shui theory, so the layout was very strange. It is recorded in history that Zhuge Liang deduced the art of war and invented a magical array method called Eight Arrays, which was subtle, unusual and powerful, and directly scared off the enemy.
The layout of Zhuge village
The terrain around Zhuge Bagua Village is like the bottom of a pot, which is low in the middle and gradually high around. Water from all directions gathers at the bottom of the pot to form a pond, which is the bell pool. Zhongchi is the core of Zhuge Bagua Village and the basic point of Bulie's "Eight Arrays". The clock pool is not big, but this pond has water on one side and ground on the other, just like Taiji in Jiugong Bagua Map, which is wonderful.
With Zhongchi as the center, there are eight alleys extending in all directions, leading directly to eight high earth mountains outside the village. The plan looks like eight diagrams. Many narrow alleys are derived from alleys. There are thousands of families in the alleys, dotted with many ancient houses. The alleys near the clock pool are relatively straight, and gradually twists and turns when extending outward, while many alleys are connected vertically and horizontally, like a maze.
When an outsider enters an alley, it is often easier to get in than to get out, and even get lost. Interestingly, the descendants of Zhuge Liang who lived in the village for hundreds of years did not realize the wonderful layout of the village. They don't know the shape of gossip in the "eight-array diagram". It was not until the relevant records were found in an old book that the mystery came to light. Now, as long as you climb the dirt mountain outside the town and look down, carefully distinguish it, the shape of the nine palaces and eight diagrams in the whole village will be fully displayed in front of you, and its wonderful and unique layout is amazing.
1993, Mr. Luo, the leader of the National Cultural Heritage Administration expert group and a famous archaeologist, made a field trip to Zhuge Town, and said that the traditional layout of villages and battlements in China includes irregular layout of mountains and rivers and square molding with symmetry axis. The layout of nine palaces and eight diagrams radiating from a center like Zhuge Town is an isolated case in the history of ancient architecture in China, and its great value is self-evident.
