? As soon as I entered the village entrance, I was surprised by Yongxing Lake, which jumped into my eyes. On the open lake, a large lotus leaf stretches along the coast, and the green color is so green in the rain that it can't bear to look away. There are four stone bridges of gold, wood, fire and earth on the lake, and three can be seen, which form five lines with the water under the bridge.
? In the Eight Diagrams, the division of Yin and Yang is a river that runs through the village, and there is a Huanxiu Bridge on the river, which is the main traffic route from Xiuning to Shexian in ancient times. The river rushes down, forming one yang and one yin with Yongxing Lake, which is spectacular.
? Many idioms and allusions have been well interpreted in Huizhou architecture. For example, the idea of "taking a step back", which is impressive in Xidi and embodies the spirit of humility, can be seen more in Chengkan, which is also called "beating around the bush". There is harmony between heaven (heaven means development) and earth (earth means Zuen), which is probably one of the genes of Huizhou merchants' achievements.
? "Fertile water does not flow to outsiders" should be the earliest water resources environmental protection system. There is a rectangular skylight on the patio, and the eaves around the skylight have a slope. The rainwater goes down the eaves to the patio, and the water in the tank around the patio is collected and then remitted to Yongxing Lake at the entrance of the village through the underground culvert. There are canals in front of the house and in the field, and the lake flows into the field and in front of the house through the canals. The water in the canal in front of the house is domestic water, and the unified water use time is stipulated, such as drinking before 9: in the morning, washing clothes after 9: , and cooking in the afternoon. The water is clean after a night of purification. You can see this process more clearly by swimming in the rain.
? Back to Yongxing Lake, the sun appeared, the lake was sparkling, a group of white geese rattled along the path, and the patches of purple flowers by the lake were particularly eye-catching in the green.
? Persistence is still very worthwhile, because persistence has seen the real white wall tiles and the three-story Huizhou courtyard (there are only 1 left, and there are 8 in Chengkan); Because of persistence, I ate traditional baked wheat cakes, saw the clouds in the mountains, and waited until the sun was shining ...
? "There is no mountain in the world when you climb Mount Huangshan, and there is no hurdle in your life when you swim to Chengkan". The beauty of Chengkan lies in water, flowers, bridges, yin and yang and the five elements. When the lotus blooms, it will continue to show its edge.
? Go to Chengkan, not for crossing the hurdle, but for that touch of surprise.
