Standing on the mountain, Gounan Village looks like a big flower basket. Flowers bloom on the earth, and the scenery is unique. There is a saying that crabs have good feng shui and strong gas field. The north and south lakes are surrounded by neat and square ancient houses. In the green of "pre-bud and post-leaf", dozens of trees over a hundred years old are dotted. Legend has it that a bird with a seed grew into a big tree. People regard it as a symbol of "elegance" and settle down here to start a business. The ancestors planted trees, protected trees, loved birds and fed birds, which reflected the worship and care of the hipsters for nature and the environment. Hunan is an idyllic scenery: green trees from the side, criss-crossing buildings, fish ponds reflecting sunlight and golden rice fields. White ducks float in green water, and goose feet swing in clear waves. A path connects the seedlings of Shantou Academy of Agricultural Sciences, just like the branches of a flower basket, inserted in the endless Woods. The lake is an ecological ornamental garden-surrounded by leisure grass and covered bridges for people to fish and taste mullet. It is really a "city villa" in Shantou. The banyan tree in Gounan Village has a history of hundreds of years, and the oldest one is over 700 years old. It is said that it was planted when the village was first built in the late Song Dynasty, and they witnessed the historical changes of Gounan Village. Hu Langui was named Gui Lan Qifang, which means that when children grow up, they will win the laurel, and laurel is laurel, which means champion. In other words, encourage reading. Most of the ponds in front of Chaoshan people's villages were taken out when building houses. They can not only sail, wash roads, raise fish and prevent fire, but also regulate air humidity and maintain groundwater level. At the same time, the size of the pond is also a symbol of village strength. Hu Langui is 400 meters long and 60 meters wide, with wide water surface and clean environment. Every year, the Dragon Boat Festival is held in this village, which is the busiest time in Hu Langui.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Gounan Village, I saw an antique wall with four words written on it: Gounan Xu Di, who wrote these four words? This man has a great history. He is Mr. Lu Xun. Of course, we contemporary people can't ask Mr. Lu Xun to write these four words specifically for Gounan. This is a combination of Lu Xun's words. So why use the words of Lu Xun? Because this is the hometown of Xu Guangping, Lu Xun's wife. 1922, Xu Guangping, a "rebellious" woman in Xu, met Lu Xun, the flag-bearer of anti-feudal justice, and later became a lifelong companion, making outstanding contributions to the tenth New Culture Movement. Behind the zhaobi is an exquisite porcelain inlaid with Chaozhou Kirin. It is said that only Shangshu can afford this kind of unicorn.
Bypassing Zhaobi, it is the east gate of Gounan Village. You can see the typical layout of Chaoshan residential buildings that pay attention to geomantic science. Taking the meaning of purple gas from the east is our ancestors' experience summary of "the wind comes from the east", which is an auspicious door. The wall and fence in front of the door preach "the scenery is not exposed, the wealth is not sprinkled". The gatekeeper is the stone lion of the Ming Dynasty, which looks simple and guards the peace of the village. There is a "Nanhai Wang Sheng Temple" next to it, which embodies the marine cultural consciousness of the hipsters in the factory, and there is a dragon boat next to it, which has become the most sacred place in the village.
