Is the geomantic pattern of crooked ways the reason why Zhenyuan ancient town has been enduring for more than 2000 years?

The idiom "crooked ways" means: improper ways or methods, and also refers to bad ideas. However, in Zhenyuan ancient town of Guizhou, crooked ways have different explanations.

In Zhenyuan ancient town with a history of more than 2,000 years, the residential buildings in the ancient town adopt a crooked way. According to the local people, this is a feng shui pattern. The so-called inclined door means that the door of the residential building will not face the alley, but will face the street in the building according to the birthdates of the host family, and the gossip is engraved in front of the door, and the direction of the door must be facing the southeast, which means that the purple gas comes from the east. Evil path refers to a road paved along the corner after entering the door, which was reserved for maids in ancient times.

It is not difficult to see from crooked ways that Zhenyuan is an ancient town that pays special attention to geomantic omen. There is a small river flowing in the middle of the ancient town. Winding through the Yanghe River in Zhenyuan Ancient Town, it looks like a natural Taiji Eight Diagrams from the air.

This ancient water town is also called Venice as far away as China. Perhaps because of the developed waterways, it used to be Shuikou Wharf, and it was also a place where businessmen from all over the country gathered.

Zhenyuan ancient town has a long history. There are many old buildings and traditional houses in this city. There are several ancient courtyards in Gu Xiang, including the courtyard of the Fu family, and there is a wooden bed worth hundreds of millions of dollars in Jin Sinan. The Fu Family Courtyard used to be a big family, which went through the Cultural Revolution of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China and continues to this day. The house has not been decorated and the owner has not changed.

Walking into the Fu Family Courtyard, feeling the mansion of that year seems to have passed through time and space. The carvings on the door panels, the steps on the slate, and even small pieces like piano benches and pen containers can all feel the wealth of the owners of that year.

On the opposite side of the bridge, the ancient buildings of Qinglong Cave were built at the same time. Qinglong cave is built on the mountain, and it is layered.

There is a charge for entering Qinglong Cave. Admission to 60 yuan is one of the few modes in China where Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism coexist. It is a miracle that different religions coexist on this hillside.

Standing on the Qinglong Cave, you can not only understand the history here, but also climb high and see the face of the whole ancient city.
