It is one of the representatives of charming ancient villages and towns in Fujian and one of the most intact ancient villages in Fujian. It is also a national 4A-level tourist attraction, the first batch of national rural tourism key villages and the first batch of "gold medal tourist villages" in Fujian Province.
Just listening to this name, there is already a sense of excitement that can't wait to see it.
It is Guifeng Village, located in Youxi County, Sanming City, Fujian Province. It is listed as a famous Chinese historical and cultural village with beautiful environment and many well-preserved ancient buildings.
If you want to go to Guifeng Village by car, just search by navigation. It takes more than 5 hours from Xiamen and only 2 hours from Fuzhou.
If you choose public transportation, you can take the bullet train to Youxi Station, and then transfer to Youxi Bus Station for the shuttle bus "Youxi-Yangzhong". 19 yuan. In the middle of the ocean, you can carpool to Guifeng with others, and the journey is probably in 50 yuan.
Since it is a 4A-level scenic spot, tickets are also required. The fare, 20 yuan, is not bad for me. After all, it has a history of over 700 years.
In the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, with the gradual decline of society at that time and the pressure of nomadic people, the center of gravity of the whole country moved south at that time, and many aristocratic children also wanted to find a good place to rest.
At that time, Sun Caichang, the ninth generation descendant of Cai Xiang, a bachelor of Duanming Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty, discovered Guifeng, a treasure trove of splendid mountains and rivers, which was his dream source of peach blossoms. So in the seventh year of Li Zong in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, A.D. 1247, he came here with his family and began to settle down.
There is also a record in Chua's Genealogy of Guifeng: "The 6th Cai Xiang Sun Cailuan moved to Huangkeng, the 17th capital, in the first year of Jingkang in Song Qinzong (A.D. 1 126) and became the ancestor of Youxi. His grandson Cai Chang, Ding Wei (A.D. 1247), lived in Guilin since Shisanjingtou Bay in the seventh year of Song Lizong, and was the ancestor of Guifeng. "
At that time, they were newcomers. At first, the village was named "Lingtou". Later, in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, children and grandchildren had multiplied rapidly and agricultural productivity had been greatly improved. They can reclaim land and build villages on a large scale.
Many osmanthus trees were planted in the village, so the village was renamed "Guiling".
In the early years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, Youxi was divided into 50 capitals, and Guiling was the central village of 16 capital. With this ratio, you can imagine how fast it has developed.
With the increase of population and the continuous development of economy, the Chua family has begun to pursue spiritual and cultural things. The descendants of Cai's family pursued the ancestral motto of "farming and reading, and the name will last forever", and began to study, and the cultural atmosphere became stronger.
With the scholar in the family becoming more and more promising, many people have been admitted to scholar, Gong Sheng and Juren successively, and Chua's Ancestral Hall has also been built.
At this time, Cai gradually became a famous family. Therefore, people began to call Guiling "Picking Ling" and later renamed it "Guifeng".
After all, the history of Guifeng Village that we are looking at now is actually the history of the prosperity and struggle of the Chua family.
It is also said that the Chua family came to Guifeng Village, which is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. According to geomantic omen, Guifeng Village is built on the mountain, which is a terrain of "phoenix flying with books". This place will produce intellectuals. In our usual words, it is "a good ancestral grave and a good burial".
But it's also true. Since their ancestor Cai Xiang, a writer and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, many scholars and juries have emerged, including brothers, fathers and sons, Wu Kui and so on.
At present, there are many undergraduates, postgraduates and international students here. It seems that not only feng shui is good, but also cultural background is very important.
Guifeng Village, which is shrouded in mist, beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, has also been known as "the cave in the mountain" and "the fairyland in the clouds" in history. Take pictures with your mobile phone. Every angle is good.
Guifeng village is surrounded by mountains, just like an ancient house of Ming and Qing dynasties embedded in bright light and shadow.
The whole village is located on the mountain, layered and patchy. The 39 typical ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Chua's Ancestral Hall, Chua's Ancestral Hall, Shishi Cuo and Loupingtang, which were preserved in the village, have amazed many experts and scholars: "Cuo Cuo has culture, and all the streets are history".
In Guifeng Village, the most beautiful time is autumn. Walking around the village, one step at a time, is too beautiful to breathe loudly and make noise, for fear of disturbing the peace of the village.
With the theme of "basking in autumn", autumn can be displayed everywhere. Every household in the main scenic spot is hung with red lanterns of uniform specifications, which adds a lot of warmth to the village.
Guifeng village is small, but very quiet. Although there are not many tourists here, it can be done in two hours. Of course, you can spend two days and one night savoring it.
When you are tired, eat a bowl of tofu pudding and sit on the bridge to enjoy the cool. If you don't want to eat tofu pudding, there are Shuidong roast duck, pot stickers, clear soup noodles, pig's head, big noodles, oil rolls and spring rolls. ......
