In China, many ancient villages are laid out according to some gossip or other geomantic works. Today, the village that Bian Xiao wants to introduce is modeled after the map of Neijing. Guodong Village, located in Wuyi County, Zhejiang Province, is known as "the first geomantic village in the south of the Yangtze River". Let's have a look.
Neijing Map is actually a kind of health preserving work. Although its age and author can't be fastidious, it is respected by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism at the same time and has a great influence. Although there are many versions of the map of Neijing, the most common version is kept in Beijing Baiyun Temple, and the establishment of Guo Dong is also based on the map of Neijing of Baiyun Temple.
At first, no one settled in Guo Dong's area. Later, after seeing the beautiful scenery here, some people chose to settle here. In the Yuan Dynasty, people in the village imitated the map of Neijing to transform Guodong Village, and it was at this time that Guodong Village began to develop. After the transformation, the whole village was named as "the mountain is like a Guo and the cave is like a secluded place".
Guodong Village has a beautiful environment, pleasant climate and outstanding people. There are many talented people in history, and there have been many scholars, juren and so on. Moreover, the villagers here are in good health, and the average life expectancy has reached over 85 years old. It is a very famous Changshou village in the local area. It is said that these are all because the village has become the "first village of geomantic omen in the south of the Yangtze River" after the transformation of Neijing Map.
The most important thing to miss when you come to Guo Dong is Shuikou, which can be said to be the soul of Guo Dong. It is a collection of beautiful mountains and rivers, but also a collection of strange scenery. In addition, more than 80 ancient trees can be seen inside and outside the ancient city wall, most of which were planted as early as the Ming Dynasty, further setting off the ancient charm of the water outlet.
As we all know, Changshou Village in Zhejiang Province was actually built by imitating the map of Neijing. Jiangnan first fengshui village?
Besides the ancient forests and ancient city walls, there are also ancient temples and bridges in Guo Dong. Not only attracted many tourists, but also attracted many crews to shoot here, which promoted the development of tourism in Guo Dong to some extent.
