Chenzhou has a long history and profound cultural heritage, from which the Southern Hunan Uprising was launched. After the rise of tourism-oriented tertiary industry, Chenzhou has also become a well-known tourist attraction. As early as 20 13, it has been 8 years since then, and Chenzhou has spent 300 million yuan to develop an ancient Ming village that has existed for more than 600 years into a tourist attraction.
Yangshan ancient village is the ancient village of Ming Dynasty mentioned by Zi Xuan. Located in Zhenghe Township, Guiyang County, Chenzhou City. The ancient village is 0/8km away from Guiyang County/KLOC-0, and more than 30km away from Chenzhou City. Now it has formed a unique tourist route with Wanhuayan, Tian Yang Lake and Siqing Lake. Friends who come to Chenzhou can visit along this route.
Yangshan Ancient Village is a household name in Chenzhou, because it is dominated by Hakkas' surnames, and the architectural style of the houses inside is also dominated by the combination of folk culture and classical architecture, so it is a typical literati village, which is also the biggest difference from other ancient villages.
The ancient village was built during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 600 years. At present, there are more than 60 ancient buildings. The layout of the whole village mainly pays attention to the unity of heaven and man, which reflects the Confucian thought of "neutralization" in structure
Yangshan ancient village is surrounded by green mountains and green waters. "The smoke cage layer is invisible, the willows are yellow, green and peach blossoms are bright, the rain belongs to the two swallows, and the plough under the field is a newcomer." It is the best description of the beautiful scenery of ancient villages. Many tourists said that they seemed to have entered the Taoyuan scenery described by Tao Yuanming.
One of the most unforgettable places to come here is Liaocai Village. The village is at the northern end of the valley, facing the valley from north to south. From a distance, it's riding a ridge, from a distance, it's a cave, and there's a rushing river. Behind the village is a rolling forest. The overall layout is like a village sitting on a green chair.
"Cuiling is surrounded by fields, with the far peak facing south, flowing water around the village, beautiful mountains and rivers and people." Maybe the ancients described the material village in it. In modern terms, it actually means "good feng shui".
The name of Liaocai Village is also based on certain reasons and stories. It was Liao who first lived here, not Hakkas. Later, on the way back to his hometown, Mr. He took a fancy to this place and settled here.
After that, the descendants of He family were mostly civil servants or military commanders, and the village was famous for its good feng shui. With the increasing number of He people, Liao people gradually disappeared, and this village was renamed "Liaocai Village".
In fact, the meaning of the name is very simple. The homonym of "Liao" and "Liao" reflects the respect of Hakka people for Liao surname and Hakka culture. "Material" is very simple, that is, I hope that any family can produce more talents.
According to relevant historical records, Yangshan ancient village also spontaneously established six societies, including Zongyuan Society, Baby Rescue Society, Forbidden Children Society, Chongyang Society, Yi Society and Daughter Society, to jointly manage the village. Such self-developed and self-educated villages are rare in many ancient villages, and this alone is enough to gain a place in many ancient villages.
After the rise of tourism, as early as 20 13, the local government spent 300 million yuan to redevelop it into a famous tourist attraction, and provided relevant facilities and equipment for the surrounding areas, so that tourists could better experience the ancient villages more than 600 years ago.
