People in Zhuge Village followed the instructions of their ancestors and became famous medical families. They chose the Chinese medicine industry, which has been operating Chinese medicine for generations, helping the world, farming and studying, and their family business is prosperous.
It is understood that the low-lying terrain of Zhuge Village is extremely unfavorable to the circulation of goods. So how do people in Zhuge Village solve this problem?
It is said that there is an ancient village less than 2 kilometers away from Zhuge Village, called Qixing Changle Village.
It has been an ancient traffic artery since ancient times, and it is said that it is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang stationed troops. Zhuge ren used the ancient post road to do foreign business and transport medicinal materials.
So as to avoid the post roads, pass through their own villages and keep the secret of Zhuge village construction. Such wisdom is truly a descendant of Zhuge Liang. A village was built by using the whole set of gossip theory, with exquisite layout, natural architecture and thought-provoking, making Lanxi Zhuge Village one of the most distinctive ancient villages in China.
Wandering in this first village in the south of the Yangtze River, you will find more and more wonderful things.
According to the introduction of the villagers, looking down from the sky, the whole Zhuge Bagua Village is like a gossip, and the distribution trend of houses and streets coincides with the Zhuge Liang Jiugong Bagua Array written in history.
A large number of ancient buildings and cultural relics from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have been completely preserved here. Over the past 700 years, dynasties have changed, social unrest and wars have continued. I don't know how many ancient temples and gardens in China were burned in the war or destroyed by natural disasters, but this big village is like a paradise.
Stay away from war and avoid natural and man-made disasters. The vast majority of villagers in the village are descendants of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu State, more than 700 years ago. In other words, almost all the people in the village are surnamed Zhuge or married to Zhuge's family, and only a few are not Zhuge's family. According to statistics, there are about 65,438+6,000 descendants of Zhuge Liang in China, and Zhuge Bagua Village alone accounts for a quarter, ranking first in the country.
After Zhuge, people lived in Zhuge town, and for a long time, they formed some distinctive lifestyles, which were simple and interesting.
Walking in the village, a more careful person will find that the doors of the two opposite houses in the narrow lane are not opposite, but staggered, without exception. Locals call this practice "improper door, improper household".
The descendants of Zhuge said that this architectural pattern is conducive to dealing with neighborhood relations. If "the door is right", the two families will come in and out every day, and too much contact will inevitably lead to contradictions.
Conflicts still have to be faced every day, and accumulated grievances are deeper and difficult to solve. If the door is not right, the problem will be solved. I'm afraid only Zhuge Liang's descendants will come up with such a simple and effective method.
Most people in Zhuge Town are quadrangle-style buildings, which are closed on all sides and have space in the middle. The front of the house is higher than the back. When it rains, almost all the rain is gathered in the yard.
Zhuge's descendants called this practice "fat water does not flow outside the field." Zhuge Bagua Village is also a surprisingly quiet ancient village. People here have lived a leisurely life like a paradise for many years, as if isolated from all the noise.
In the morning, men go out to work, and women wash clothes in the pond, so they can dry on the shore. In the evening, adults come back from work to have tea and chat, while children play, and young and old prefer to chat here.
The houses in the village are built on the undulating hillside according to the terrain.
One building is next to another, with continuous external walls and patchwork horse-headed walls extending from low to high.
Looking from a distance, it is a continuous wall brick with waves.
In the alleys scattered by ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, walking on the stone-paved paths, the original ancient history and culture and the quaint style of residential walls still exist, making tourists linger and greedily breathe the freshest air in the village.
Shuttle through the ancient streets and lanes and feel the tranquility of Zhuge Bagua Village. There are many alleys, large and small, in Zhuge Bagua Village, which often make people "get in the way but can't get out". Strolling through the streets, the antique architectural style gives people excellent aesthetic enjoyment. The Soviet-style blue-gray polished brick carved gate house with white walls and tiles contrasts with the wooden doors on the eaves. Many people have gardens, rockeries, flowers, and winding corridors. Walking in a village with ancient cultural charm and enjoying the excellent works of art integrating ancient architecture, wood carving, calligraphy and painting is like walking into a three-dimensional painting axis.
It is said that the descendants of Zhuge Liang, who lived in the village for hundreds of years, did not realize the wonderful layout of the small village, and were in the "eight-array map" and did not know the shape of gossip. It was not until the relevant records were found in an old book that the mystery came to light.
If you know some gossip, you can climb the dirt mountain outside the town and look down carefully. The shape of the gossip in the nine palaces in the village will be fully displayed, and its wonderful and unique layout is amazing.
