The boat-shaped village, surrounded inward, means that wealth is gathered here, and the rich water does not flow out of the field. The middle belly is big, it is a cloth bag with money, and the money bag is full. So living here can make a fortune. The bow and stern extending on both sides indicate that future generations will jump out of the village and become more brilliant.
The building of the house also conforms to Feng Shui. Although there is money, the door of the mansion is not big. On the one hand, the small door can retain wealth, on the other hand, the small door reflects the owner's wealth but does not make public. Many big bosses have only one generation, and because they have made a fortune, they don't pay attention to strengthening the hard and simple education for future generations and the persistent education for their children. They are extremely arrogant, and their happiness will decline. After making a fortune and becoming an official, you can still be a low-key person. Only in this way can you be stronger from generation to generation.
That is the so-called "if you are surprised, you will not be surprised, but if you are happy, you will be brilliant from generation to generation."
Hongcun is known as "the village in Chinese painting", and UN experts praised it as "the unparalleled water street landscape in small towns". Because it is backed by Yangzhanling and Leigang Mountain. Among the remaining veins of Huangshan Mountain, the terrain is relatively high. Sometimes the clouds steam and glow, such as thick ink and heavy color, and sometimes it seems to be freehand brushwork. The surrounding mountains and white tiles are reflected in the lake, and people, ancient buildings and nature are integrated, like a slowly unfolding landscape painting.
Water plays an important role in Hongcun site selection. Wang in Hongcun lived in Shexian County in the late Tang Dynasty and Qishuhu Village in yi county, but they all suffered from fires. Later, Wang's family moved to the foot of Leigang Mountain. At first, the 13 building was built and named Hongcun, which means "Hong Guang is developed". In view of the past lessons, Hongcun pays great attention to the layout of artificial water system in planning to improve the fire prevention ability. After more than 400 years and several generations' efforts, especially during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Siqi, the 76th founder of Hongcun, asked Mr. Feng Shui to delimit the environment and rearrange the buildings, and the design and structure of Hongcun were finally realized.
Water plays an important role in the scientific layout of villages. The whole village adopts the bionic "ox" shape layout, with Leigang Mountain as the bull's head, two ancient trees at the entrance of the village as horns, Moon Marsh as the tripe, South Lake as the tripe, Qushuikeng as the tripe, residential houses as the bull's body, and four ancient bridges as the bull's feet, which is called "Mountain as the bull's head tree and bridge as the four-hoofed house". Vivid modeling, the whole village is like a buffalo lying motionless leisurely.
