Village profile
This is Fuxi Village, located in Hezhou, Guangxi, which is a little-known scenic spot in Guangxi. The village is full of old people and villagers dancing dragons. This is my first impression of Fuxi Village. Different from ordinary Yao villages, most of them are surrounded by mountains and waters, but it is surrounded by five peaks, just like a paradise hidden in the mountains. The surrounding environment is also beautiful and refreshing.
Historical background
Although it is a village hidden in the mountains, Fuxi Village has a long history. As early as the Song Dynasty, there were people here, 1000 years ago. It is said that Zhou Dunyi, the originator of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, once taught here, and the village still retains the houses where future generations live. It is a veritable cultural village.
spring
Before we said that the village was surrounded by five peaks, how did the water come from here? In fact, there is an underground river in the village, which flows to the surface in the village. Running all year round, clear spring water flows through the villagers' doors. The villagers' domestic water depends entirely on this stream, so the name of the village is Fuxi Village. It can also be seen that the villagers attach importance to it. It is said that it was once a battleground for military strategists.
historic site
Now when you go to the ancient village, you can see many intact ancient buildings, as well as the complete clan gatehouse 13, as well as many ancient houses and ancient stages. Most of the residential buildings here are open, and some feelings of the Song Dynasty can be seen from the details. Fuxi village is also a treasure trove of geomantic omen. In ancient times, there were 5 scholars and 35 officials here, and many buildings in the village had merit plaques.
abstract
The environment here is quiet, the life is quiet, and it is far from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is no wonder that the old people here live long. There are many long-lived old people sitting around in the village, full of energy, which is the most common phenomenon in Fuxi village. Moreover, Fuxi Village still retains many cultural customs. Most of the dragon dance teams we usually see are men, but the dragon dance teams in Fuxi Village are all Yao women. They are full of energy and have strong skills. Have you ever been here?
