Guidelines for Longchuan Scenic Area
Dear tourists, we are now in Jixi Longchuan Scenic Area, located in Longchuan Village, Jixi County, southern Anhui. This is an ancient village with a history of thousands of years and is the settlement of the Hu family. According to historical records, Longchuan is the ancient name of Hangkou Village. There is Longxu Mountain in front of the village, and a small stream (named Chuan) passes through the village, which was called Longchuan in ancient times.
Later generations thought that the outlet of the stream (also called the pit) flowed into the Dengyuan River, so dragons could swim, so it was changed to the mouth of the pit. From Lai, a famous Feng Shui master in the Song Dynasty, to Zheng, a senior consultant and architect of the China Urban Planning Institute, they all say that this is a treasure land of Feng Shui.
Longchuan tourist attractions integrate cultural landscapes and natural landscapes, the most representative of which is the Hu Ancestral Hall, the first ancestral hall in Jiangnan. It is known as the "Wood Sculpture Art Museum" and the "National Art Palace" and is a national key cultural relics protection unit.
Yishang Shufang is an authentic Ming Dynasty stone carving archway and the best stone carving in Huizhou style. In 2012, Longchuan Scenic Area was rated as a national-level AAAAA tourist attraction. In 2012, Longchuan Scenic Area was rated as a national-level scenic spot.
Ladies and gentlemen, what we are seeing now is the Hu Ancestral Hall, which was built during the Jiajing years of the Song and Ming Dynasties and has been overhauled. Facing north and facing south, it is symmetrical from front to back and consists of nine parts: screen wall, platform, gatehouse, courtyard, gallery, hall, wing room, bedroom, and special shrine.
The ancestral hall adopts the architectural technique of symmetrical layout along the east-west central axis, which is majestic. Dear friends, there are some suspense in Hu Ancestral Hall, some have been solved, and some remain a mystery to this day. The first mystery is the shadow wall. Generally, the screen wall will adopt the decorative techniques of Huizhou architecture, mainly paintings. The screen will be decorated with flowers, birds, patterns, and some mythical animal mascots such as Qilin, which is elegant and noble.
However, there is no screen wall in front of Hu's ancestral hall. Like Wu Zetian's wordless monument, no one knows why. The second mystery is related to Longchuan River. This small river flowing from west to east in the village is called Longchuan River, and the large river flowing from north to south in front of the village is called Dengyuan River.
Every time the water rises, I see that the flash flood of Dengyuan River is more than a foot above the surface of the estuary, but it does not flow back into the river. Now we know why through the principles of mechanics, but it was a mystery in the past. Therefore, people think that it was because of the existence of the dragon that the name Longchuan River was given.
Have you seen the stone lions on both sides of the ceremonial gate of the ancestral hall? This is Longchuan's first mystery. Whether it is folk or Fu family stone lions, there is one female and one male. The lion stepping on the ball represents the peace of the country and the safety of the people. There is a small lion at the feet of the lioness, which represents thousands of generations.
But at the feet of the stone lions in Hu Ancestral Hall, there are both little lions and those who step on the ball. Which one is female? Which one is male? Can you see the difference? This is not only the third suspense of Longchuan, but also an unexplained difference in Huizhou research.
Dear friends, let’s take a look at the sculpture of “Nine Lions Rolling Balls, Brocade Everywhere” outside Wufeng Tower, and the “Nine Dragons Playing with Pearls, Starry Sky” sculpture on a large square at the same height inside. sculpture. According to comrades from the Palace Museum in Beijing, portraits were not engraved on the beams of the Palace Museum because it was a place where the emperor often visited.
No words can be engraved on the beams, otherwise it will be the crime of stepping on the emperor's feet. Only mascots such as dragons and phoenixes can be engraved. Characters are carved by the folk, dragons are generally not carved by the folk, and some are twisted sunflowers, not to mention the Kujo of feudal society. The "Nine Dragons Playing with Pearls and Stars in the Sky" in Longchuan Hu's "Ancestors" is really incredible
Ladies and gentlemen, we are now at the Ise Shosho, a provincial key cultural relic protection unit. This archway was built for Hu Fu and Hu Zongxian of the Hu family in Longchuan. It was built in the 41st year of Jiajing reign in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1562), 22 years earlier than the national key cultural relic "Guoxu Archway" in She County. It is the only one among the 12 archways in Longchuan Village.
This archway has four pillars, three doors and five floors, facing north and south. It is a beam building with a height of 10 meters and a width of 9 meters. The main structure consists of four columns, four fixed plate trusses and seven large and small trusses. There are supporting drums and stones on the north and south sides of the four pillars, which are typical works of Huizhou stone carving style in the Ming Dynasty.
The word on the top is "Rong En", which is second-class in the archway.
Under Rong En's plaque, on the flower board held up by four precious bottles, there is a line of regular script "History_History Book" with a dignified and thick font and elegant brushwork.
This archway is most famous for its carving art. On the seven squares, large and small, craftsmen used techniques such as round carving, openwork carving, and hollow carving to reproduce beautiful and vivid three-dimensional pictures.
The most exquisite thing is the hollow carvings on both sides. Different patterns, different vases, and different flowers in the four seasons are all carved on the same stone, which means "peace in all seasons." Guo Moruo once wrote a poem to praise: "Heaven can do the work for you, but man is not as good as God."
As expected, building a world is worse than studying for ten years. After the inspection, senior architect Zheng praised: "It's rare, it's rare , with its high carving skills and beautiful shape, it is an architectural treasure and cannot be compared with the archway."
