How beautiful is the most beautiful ancient village in China? Where is the beauty of Fengcheng?

There is a saying called "food in Guangzhou, cooking out of Fengcheng". This proverb came into being in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, to the effect that Shunde is one of the birthplaces of Cantonese cuisine, not only famous for its delicious food, but also many chefs. Guangzhou cuisine is generally recognized. At this time, many people will have a question: which city does Fengcheng refer to? What is the history of Fengcheng? How beautiful is Fengcheng?

Many people do not know that Fengcheng refers to Shunde. I have seen the documentary of "thinking about Shunde". More than 30 Shunde people's lives have been integrated into nearly 100 Shunde dishes, slowly. The fragrance of the full screen is so fragrant that people are deeply moved by those stories at the same time. From then on, it has made a deep impression on Shunde. This documentary is also related to the tip of the tongue. It is the same director. However, the Douban score of "Xuwei Shunde" is higher. I think that's because Shunde is really a magical place full of delicious food.

If you think Shunde has only delicious food, it's a big mistake. There are also 'the most beautiful villages and towns in China' -- every Jane.

How beautiful is it to meet Jane?

When it comes to the most beautiful villages and towns, we always involuntarily think of Wuzhen, Zhouzhuang & hellip & hellip; delicate and elegant Jiangnan Water Town. In the misty rain, we can show our simple beauty in black and white. Bridges and streets are connected, houses are built by rivers, boats are swaying and green shadows are whirling. Thousands of years of history agglutinate on every tile, every bridge. Fengjian is also a water town, which represents the water town culture of Lingnan.

Although it has the reputation of "Lingnan Zhouzhuang", every Jane is more simple and unadorned. Here, you can see the long river bank, verdant ancient trees and peaceful home. The warmth and coziness of the water town is like a protective cover around you.

In history, the economy of Fengjian is very developed, and it is one of the earliest inhabited places in Shunde. Only from the establishment of eight sceneries in Ming Dynasty and the name of "little Guangzhou", can we confirm the prosperity of Shunde and Fengjian in the past. There were 13 Jinshi and more than 60 people in the small village. Today, Feng Jian still keeps a long history and dedicates her beauty to people without reservation.

Meet Jane's beauty, there are several key words.

One is water. There is not much water in Guangzhou, but there are more than ten kilometers of waterways around the village like Fengjian, and few of the waterways within the jurisdiction of Fengjian are more than twenty-eight kilometers. In a sunny day, the whole water meets the sky, rippling with blue waves, winding and circuitous River, giving people a sense of endless.

Because of the crisscross river network, people like to travel with boats instead of walking. Boats can be seen everywhere in ancient villages. Some have been used for many years, full of wind and rain, but still in the hands of the boatman to deliver every guest to the destination steadily.

I have to sit on the boat and the boatman paddles slowly. The dusk sun will not shine a dazzling golden light on the river, the surrounding scenery is perfectly projected in the river, almost people can not tell which is the real world in the water on the bank.

Walk around the village, meet Jane's people or take a leisurely walk, or sit on a stone chair to enjoy the sunshine. No matter young people or old people, they will live a colorful and enviable life.

Most of the time, the water here is very quiet, almost no flow can be seen, probably to cater to the rhythm of the ancient village. Life is just a few decades in a hurry. Why compete for this moment. What's more, it's a respect for life to stay here for a while.

The second key word is bridge.

There are more than 30 stone bridges of different sizes in fengjianshui Town, among which the three stone arch bridges that can best witness the prosperity of Shuixiang market in that year are Mingyuan bridge, Juji bridge and Jinao bridge.

The Mingyuan bridge, which was built in Baoqing period of Song Dynasty, is one of the earliest three hole stone bridges in the existing documents of China. From a distance, the bridge looks like a flying rainbow across the water. The red sandstone structure makes the whole bridge stand still after hundreds of years of wind and rain.

On the Mingyuan bridge, look at the various patterns carved on the stone slab of the bridge railing. There are many stone lions carved on the capitals on both sides of the bridge, which looks lovely.

In addition to the stone bridge, there are also single wooden bridge, steel plate bridge, modern Hongqiao & hellip & hellip; bridges on the water surface, which are convenient for people to pass through, and also become a wonderful place to enjoy the scenery.

The third key word is ancestral hall.

Fengjian has a long history. Although most of the residential buildings have become ordinary two or three story buildings, there are still a lot of ancestral halls in the village. Looking at these ancestral halls, they are all very typical traditional ancestral halls in Guangdong. The deep opening and the deep eaves of sorghum reveal the wealth and glory of every bamboo slips.

Liu's ancestral hall built in Ming Dynasty is one of the representatives.

Liu's grand ancestral hall, located in Cungen street, is the largest ancestral hall in Fengjian and one of the five ancestral halls in Shunde. The Liu family is said to be the same clan as Liu Bei after King Jing of Zhongshan.

The design of the whole ancestral hall is simple and atmospheric, but the details are very delicate. Even in the past few years, it still retains the original charm.

It's no wonder that it's after the princes.

There is also a special Li temple, which is located in yuantangtou street of fengjianli.

Li Shixiu, a scholar in Song Dynasty and a provincial counsellor in Zhejiang Province, is enshrined in the temple. Li Shixiu made a great contribution to the development of Fengjian in that year. He presided over the construction of five stone bridges, including Mingyuan bridge and Juji bridge, to benefit the countryside, so he was deeply respected by later generations.

Finally, there is a Jue Miao pure courtyard, which is also one of the key words of Feng Jian. Tall building volume, so that you can easily find it in the village.

Jue Miao pure courtyard was built in 1852. It was originally the ancestral house of Li surname, formerly known as "shengle'an". From the name, it can be seen that this is not only a women's Daoist, but also a Buddhist College for women.

When approaching Jue Miao Jing Yuan, you can hear the continuous chanting of sutras, which makes the human mind peaceful.

There are Sutra Pavilion, Mahavira hall, bell tower, Drum Tower and so on in Jue Miao pure courtyard. The buildings look very new.

This is because the pure courtyard was destroyed in the 1960s. Later, Hong Kong, Macao, overseas Chinese and the mainland Shanxin made great efforts to raise funds and rebuilt it in situ. It was expanded in 1997. So today's Jue Miao pure house is still very new. When it comes to Buddha's birthday and Guanyin's birthday, the fragrance is flourishing.

This is the most beautiful village in China. It is the most beautiful water town in the mind of Lingnan people and countless people. It is far away from the noise and will show the beautiful scenery of the south country. Such a beautiful place can't be missed.
