I have too much concern for Jiangnan. Ancient Huizhou villages have always been the appearance of Jiangnan in my heart. When spring comes, the blooming rape flowers surround the ancient villages, which makes Chengkan more charming in spring.
Chengkan, known as the first village in the south of the Yangtze River, also known as Longxi and Bagua Village, is located in Huizhou District, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, and is the hometown of ancient architecture in China. Chengkan has a good geographical location, connecting Shexian County in the east, Qiankou Town in the south, Xixinan Town and Qishe Township in the west. If you like the ancient villages in Huizhou, you can visit them here, which is a very good tourist route.
When you walk into the village, you can see an old bridge. Walking on the bridge with an umbrella to see the scenery has a feeling of being in the pictorial world.
Spring has just arrived, and the trees in the village have not turned green. The big white goose in the drizzle walked leisurely at the entrance of the village with the pace of a gentleman. Chengkan ancient town integrates natural landscape and human landscape. This ancient village was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has a history of 1800 years. The ancient village has outstanding people, rich humanities, many celebrities and profound historical and cultural precipitation. There are more than 30 plaques inscribed by celebrities such as Dong Qichang and Lin Zexu.
Feel the heavy history when you walk into the houses in Chengkan Ancient Village at will. The houses here have typical Huizhou residential characteristics. The architectural decoration here is mainly brick, wood and stone carving, with exquisite carving and high artistic level, and special attention is paid to the construction of courtyard gardens.
Liu Haisu, a master of Chinese painting in China, once said: If you climb Mount Huangshan, you must go to Chengkan. It can be seen that in his mind, Huangshan is as important as Chengkan.
The alleys in Chengkan ancient town are narrow and long. This ancient village with a history of 1800 years continues the architectural thinking of the ancients. Gu Xiang, a seemingly random ancient wall, is actually very particular. The whole Chengkan ancient village is guided by the theory of geomantic omen, and the mountains and rivers flow, paying special attention to the flexible use of water. There is a saying circulating in the local area: Huizhou dwellings are the best in the world, and Chengkan dwellings are the first in Huizhou.
Chengkan Ancient Village is the best preserved ancient village in Ming Dynasty in China. There are more than 50 historical buildings/kloc-0 in the village, such as Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Does that sound surprising?
Although the buildings in the village were built in different times, they are all very regular. Chengkan was formed in the village construction according to the layout of innate gossip's four hexagrams.
A small river passes through the village, and the ancient buildings with white walls and black tiles are more picturesque in the drizzle.
