guanzhuang town is a famous town with a long history in Biyang county. Its history can be traced back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Zhangjia Courtyard in xia zhuang, Guanzhuang town is the best historical witness.
With the click of the camera, we stepped on the broken bricks and tiles and walked into the Zhangjia Courtyard. Facing the huge courtyard of several thousand square meters, we marveled at the background and financial resources of the Zhangjia at that time.
Sunlight falls from the gap between wild leaves, as if to travel through this time to find the original scenery and stories.
it was also an autumn.
The autumn wind swayed slightly, and a few pomegranate leaves fell. The sparse leaves on the tree could not stop the brilliant red pomegranate body, and the full seeds were tightly gathered together. The expanding desire for growth had broken the bondage of the mother. The crystal as bright as jewels reflected Qiuyang's attachment, and the broom gently swept over the yellow leaves, and the bamboo leaves swept across every inch of the yard, and the yard was soon clean again.
"Sir, this is the account of this year's land rent. Please have a look." A health promotion account book was handed over.
"read," a long voice reveals the majesty of power. The speaker is an old man with eyes closed, lying on his back in a plush chair, enjoying the warm sunshine, and thick round crystal glasses divide the world into two colors.
* * received this autumn: rice ... sorghum ... millet ... corn ...
Master Zhang fell asleep after listening to it, and this sleep lasted for several hundred years.
The flying rabbit has gone, and times have changed. When we came to visit, the Zhangjia Courtyard was not what it used to be.
Family precepts are still there. There are not many rooms left, and there are collapsed foundations everywhere.
The main room in the courtyard is still there, and a couplet is conspicuously engraved on the tall square column:
It is difficult to stand in the middle of a person who is crazy without being holy.
If you don't make progress in learning, you will start to look back.
Family precepts are the motto that a family abides by, and it is under the guidance of this philosophical couplet that the prominent Zhang family has reached its peak.
The Zhangjia Courtyard runs through the whole village, just like a small town, occupying half of the village.
"Jinxiazhuang, Yinshimen and Honghe are a cornucopia" is a xia zhuang folk song that has been circulated for thousands of years. Xia zhuang, Shimen and Honghe are neighboring villages, where the terrain is flat and the soil is fertile, and the yield of one mu of crops is twice that of one mu of land in other places.
There is a certain reason for the Zhang family to move here. First, the fertile land here can provide ample food and clothing for their children and grandchildren. Second, there is a river behind the village that runs around the village and goes away all the year round. From the perspective of geomantic omen, it is really a good place for human beings to thrive.
It's only a few hundred years since the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The old house built by Zhang's ancestors with painstaking efforts has become like this.
people often say that they are not rich for three generations, which may be in line with the natural law of historical development. Will the builders of the Zhangjia Courtyard be informed that they will not regret it?
While admiring the wisdom of the ancients and the historical civilization, she lamented the historical changes.
I have seen the ancient house of the Zhang family in xia zhuang, and I wonder if I can shake some people's greedy dream of buying a house. Maybe your real estate today will become a ruin at your feet in the next century.
