With the improvement of people's living standards, their horizons are much broader than before. While they are busy with their work, they also pay great attention to their inner adjustment. So they will choose to take a walk around the motherland on weekends or during small holidays. In Hunan, there is the first village in the world and the reputation of the Forbidden City. Tickets are only for 50 yuan. This village is Zhangguying Village, located in Yueyang, Hunan Province, which belongs to the most complete preserved Jiangnan ancient residential building in China.
This ancient village has existed for more than 500 years. The whole building is divided into three major buildings, namely Wangjiaduan, Dangmen and Orfila. It is reported that the oldest building here was built in the Ming Dynasty and expanded in the Qing Dynasty. There are 65,438 houses and 62 lanes in the village, covering an area of about 50,000 square meters, so it is also called folk custom.
The first thing visitors to Zhang see is the city gate, the core building in the village. Although it is not the oldest building in the ancient village, its importance is proved according to its location. There is a stone drum on each side of the gate, also known as the doorman. The size of the doorman represents the wealth of family members. Visitors who enter the gate can only see one courtyard. There are two ponds on both sides of the ancient road, sparkling, which is known as the most striking and peculiar scenic spot in the ancient village.
Baibu Third Bridge, known as another special scenic spot in the village, was built in the Qing Dynasty, located in the middle of the whole ancient building complex, spanning less than a hundred miles across the Weixi River. At that time, villagers built three granite slabs according to the direction of water flow. The buildings seen on both sides of the stone bridge are arranged in an orderly way, and the streams under the bridge are gurgling. From a distance, they are like exquisite ink paintings written by masters, which makes people linger.
Visitors standing at the top of the village can see all directions in the village. At the same time, there are a large number of ancient houses surrounded by surrounding hills. There is a river that flows through this village all year round. There are 47 stone bridges on the river, and each ancient house is connected with each other. You can see a promenade by the river. In the promenade, you can see an ancient road paved by Qingshi Road, which can lead to all directions and even every alley in the village.
If tourists are interested in ancient villages, they can visit Zhangguying Village, where they can feel the rich ancient flavor and everything is worth visiting. After understanding, it turns out that Zhang is a master of Feng Shui. He took a fancy to this geomantic treasure through detailed exploration, so he chose to build it here and live here for a long time, hence the name Zhangguying Village. After vicissitudes of life, Zhangguying Village still retains its original appearance.
Zhangguying Village is distributed in a half-moon shape at the foot of the mountain, with the main house as the door and the green hills as the back. The Weixi River flowing in front of the gate forms Zhuanghe River to protect ancient villages. There is an eye-catching Tai Chi picture on the lintel for the safety of the whole family. On the lawn inside the gate, you can also see two huge ponds around the gate.
