Visit the ancient houses in Peitian, western Fujian

Peitian Village, one of the top ten "Most Beautiful Villages and Towns in China" recommended by hundreds of local media in China, is located in Xuanhe Township, Liancheng County, southwest Fujian. Peitian's ancestors left a huge legacy to this small village with an area of only 13.4 square kilometers, more than 300 households and more than 1000 villagers: Peitian Village has preserved 30 mansions, 2/kloc-0 ancestral halls, 6 academies, an ancient street with an area of 1000 meters, and two. The village has a vast territory, well-preserved, numerous treasures and profound cultural heritage, which has left a deep impression on the outside world.

When I got off the bus, I saw the stone lions standing, the stone gates and high walls tightly surrounding the deep house compound, which is a typical Hakka local architecture in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Along the cobblestone country road, in the early morning sunshine, only women washing clothes in the ditch at home, leisurely old people and smiling children, and tourists walked into the magnificent deep house to visit their "beauty".

Peitian Village has a history of more than 800 years. The famous Guanzhi Mountain, Bijia Mountain and Wuyishan Mountain fall here from north to south, as if surrounded by three dragons. The five mountains outside the village are like five tigers, and the scenery is pleasant. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Peitian Village was located in Guandao Post Station in Changting and Liancheng counties, and it was an amphibious transit station for bamboo, wood, wallpaper, salt, oil and other daily necessities in Tingzhou and Longyan.

The ancient residents of Peitian are represented by "Dafudi", "Yanqing Hall" and "Guanting", with an area of over 6,900 square meters. "Dafudi", also known as "Jishutang", was built in 1829 and took eleven years to build. It was named after Master Wu Changtong who was awarded the positions of Doctor Feng Zhi and Doctor Wu Zhao. The hall is tall and spacious, so guests at table 120 can stay indoors. Its design concept adheres to the traditional concept of "orderly sequence, different primary and secondary", with vertical primary and secondary auxiliary, horizontal secondary auxiliary, hall-room collocation and separation of main and auxiliary rooms. Ventilation, wind collection, drainage and sanitation are all planned, together with the development of future generations. Liang Hua and Fang Hua are exquisitely carved and contain allusions. Because of their characteristics of "the wall falls down but the house does not fall down", they are called world-class earthquake-resistant buildings by experts.

"Yanqing Hall" is a building of Amin Dynasty, and its building structure is basically the same as that of "Dafu Land", except that the lotus pond outside the door twists and turns, and Shishi Town is in front. A well-matched couple is a metaphor for the longing and pursuit of the clan by immigrants from the Central Plains who live in different places and among families.

The high wall of the "Guanting" stands tall and enclosed, and a puddle about three feet wide is specially opened in the wall for women to bathe. "Guanting" has a unique layout and exquisite design. The carvings between beams and columns and between beams in the central hall are all double-sided symmetrical hollow carvings, and the exquisite craftsmanship is amazing. The back hall is the imperial clan discussion hall, and the left and right flower rooms are dedicated to the host's leisure friends. The downstairs hall is the learning hall, and the upstairs hall is the library pavilion, which once contained more than 10 thousand ancient books. During the warm visit and the battle of Songmaoling before the Central Red Army went north, "Guanting" once became the headquarters of the Red Army, where Zhu De, Peng and Tan Zhenlin attended important military meetings.

1000 meters of ancient streets are mostly ancestral halls. Ancestral temple architecture attaches great importance to the structure of doors and houses, and its bucket arch carving and wood lacquer painting are magnificent. His meticulous paintings "Three Mothers and Godsons" and "No.1 Scholar Wandering the Street" have clear lines and vivid characters.

Academy community is an integral part of Peitian ancient architecture system. According to reports, in Peitian Village during Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, Wu Zukuan, the seventh ancestor, cut down trees and mowed grass and founded the "Shishan Caotang". Although the school is small, it has trained many talents, including Jinshi 19 1 person, official 19 person, and 5 official, with the highest three categories. For example, Wu Bozhen, the garrison of Qingzhou camp in Shandong province, and Wu Xiaolin, the garrison of Quzhuang camp in Taiwan Province province, all studied here and later became. In the thirty-second year of Guangxu, the academy was transformed into a "Peitian second-class primary school" with many talents, including Wu Aiqun, who graduated from Meiji University of Political Science and Law in Tokyo and participated in democratic revolutionary activities such as the Zhong Xing Society, and Wu Jianxin, a classmate of Zhou Enlai when he was studying in France.
