Why is Xidi Village built in the shape of a boat?
Xidi Village is backed by a mountain, and the mountain is not high, but the mountain shape is beautiful and the trees are lush, which shows that the mountain has aura; the mountain shape is continuous, which shows that the people living here can be prosperous for many generations. developed. The mountain is too evil to rely on. There are no trees and no aura on the mountain. This may be related to the impact of air humidity and oxygen content on physical health.
The boat-shaped village is surrounded inward, which indicates that wealth will be gathered here and the fat water will not flow out. The big belly in the middle is a cloth bag filled with money. The money bag is very full. So you can make a fortune by living here. The prow and stern extending on both sides indicate that the descendants will develop outward and jump out of the village to become even more glorious.
The architecture of the house is also in line with Feng Shui. Although wealthy, the door of the mansion is not big. On the one hand, a small door can retain wealth. On the other hand, a small door reflects that although the owner is wealthy, he is not ostentatious. Many big bosses only get rich for one generation because they make a fortune and do not pay attention to strengthening the education of hardship and simplicity for their descendants, and do not pay attention to strengthening the education of perseverance for their children. They are extremely arrogant and will eventually lose their happiness. After making a fortune and becoming an official, you can still keep a low profile. Only in this way can you become stronger with each generation.
This is what is meant by the saying "Don't be surprised when you are surprised, be happy when you are happy" can lead to glory from generation to generation.
Hongcun is known as "the countryside in Chinese paintings", and United Nations experts praised it as "unparalleled small town water street landscape". Because it is backed by the Yangzhan Ridge and Leigang Mountains in the Huangshan Mountains, the terrain is relatively high. Sometimes the clouds are steaming and the clouds are bright, like thick ink and heavy colors, and sometimes it is like freehand brushwork with splashed ink. The surrounding mountains and pink walls and green tiles are reflected in the lake, and people, ancient buildings and nature blend together. As one, it is like a slowly unfolding landscape painting.
Water plays an important role in the site selection of Hongcun. According to legend, the ancestors of the Wang family in Hongcun lived in Tangmo in She County and Qishuhu Village in Yixian County, but both suffered fires. Later, the Wang family moved to the foot of Leigang Mountain. They initially built a thirteen-story building and named it Hongcun, which means Hongguang developed. In view of past lessons, Hongcun paid great attention to the arrangement of artificial water systems during planning to improve the ability to prevent fires. After more than 400 years and several generations of efforts, especially during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Siqi, the 76th ancestor of Hongcun, asked Mr. Feng Shui to survey the environment. The building was rearranged, and Hongcun's design and structure were finally realized.
In the scientific layout of villages, water plays an important role. The entire village adopts a bionic "cow"-shaped layout, with Leigang Mountain as the cow's head, the two ancient trees at the entrance of the village as the cow's horns, the moon marsh as the cow's stomach, the South Lake as the cow's tripe, and the winding Shuizhen as the cow's intestines. The residential buildings It is a cow's body and the four ancient bridges are cow's feet. It is said that "the mountain is the cow-headed tree as the horns, and the bridge is the four-hoof house as the body." The shape is lifelike. The whole village is like a leisurely buffalo lying quietly in the green mountains and green waters.
