In ancient legend, there is a heavenly street among the white clouds, which was built for the immortal to wave his sleeve and dial. There stands an ancient village with good water like Taohuayuan in Tianjie. The ancient villages are looming in the clouds, and the beauty of dreams is self-evident.
I thought "Tianjie Village" was just a beautiful legend, but I never thought that "Tianjie Village" really existed in real life, and I really met it once, so I was too happy to leave.
This issue of "Walking in Guangdong" takes you into the mysterious "Tianjie Village" in Guangdong-the Millennium Yao Village in northern and southern Guangdong.
The car is driving on the winding Panshan highway, and the green mountains are hidden in the misty clouds, just like a fairyland in the sky. It is deep in the mountains, with complex terrain and inaccessible. Even finding a flat place to build a village at the foot of the mountain is a wonderful thing, let alone going deep into the mountains and forests. The rumored "Tianjie Village" is full of mysterious colors.
Looking forward to it, I finally arrived at my destination. In front of me, the peaks rise and fall. On a towering mountain, there are really many buildings, criss-crossing. Against the backdrop of green hills and white clouds, it is hazy, vague, crumbling, strange and dreamy. Is it a mirage? Or "the market in the sky"? The author can't help but marvel at the strange landscape in front of him.
Because it is built on a towering mountain, the blue sky and white clouds can be torn off with one hand, so the author simply calls it "Tianjie Village".
Tianjie Village is actually a Millennium Yao Village in Liannan, Guangdong Province, located in the southwest of Liannan County, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, with an area of 159 mu. It is said that this village was built in the Song Dynasty and has a history of 1000 years. It is the largest, oldest and best-preserved Yao village in China. Now it is a national AAAA-level scenic spot, a famous historical and cultural village in China and one of the top ten most beautiful ancient villages in Guangdong Province.
In mountainous areas, people usually choose a place with flat terrain and convenient transportation at the foot of the mountain to build a village, but this ancient village of Yaozhai is in the opposite direction, built in a place with high mountains and dangerous roads. It is conceivable that the ancestors of Yao must have successfully escaped from life in order to avoid war or even hunting, and then forced themselves to go to Liangshan, chose a dangerous place to settle down, multiplied from generation to generation, and the village continued to expand, thus forming.
At the same time, living in the mountains and forests, far away from the world, is also in line with the extraordinary pursuit of Yao compatriots.
Climbing up the stone steps in the village, walking through the narrow and cramped alleys, enjoying the unique folk houses and listening to the ancient stories of the Yao people, time seems to slow down. ...
In the village, many houses were found close to the cliff, with their heads sticking out of the window. The "abyss" is close at hand, which is chilling.
The hardships of Yao ancestors can be imagined. The houses in a building seem to tell their blood. In a dangerous and harsh environment, they never stop guarding their beautiful homes and pursuing a better life! Thought of here, the author suddenly stood in awe, and after visiting Tianjie Village, he was all in awe.
Thanks to the nature, it has left such a "paradise of peaceful coexistence" for mankind. There are not many people living in Millennium Yaozhai now, and most of them have moved to the foot of the mountain or lived abroad. Relevant measures have also been taken to protect this magnificent "Tianjie" place.
Strange fairyland and rich cultural heritage attract a large number of tourists to visit. I hope that with the passage of time, the "pearl" of the Millennium Yaozhai in Tianjie Village will become more and more brilliant.
