Living in seclusion in the mountains looking for feng shui

People are best at self-healing. Living in a noisy city for a long time will inevitably produce rebellious psychology. They want to escape for a period of time, bid farewell to the tedious things in life, find a spiritual home and return to nature. As the saying goes, "Where there is demand, there is market". In recent years, "rural tourism" has become a hot item in tourism. The ancient village provides a place for tourists to have a spiritual rest and is deeply loved by tourists.

The author is also a fan of "rural tourism". Before the holiday comes, he will travel well in advance and pursue poetry and distance. Here, I would like to recommend an ancient cultural village worth visiting, which is very suitable for road trip. It is a little-known ancient village in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, with a history of thousands of years. The villagers are all surnamed Chen, and the descendants of this village are all over the world, which is very touching.

Dongping Ancient Village is located in Du Heng Town, Sanmen County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. It has a long history and profound cultural heritage, and even the names of ancient villages are of great origin. From Yuan to, Taigong Chen Jinting served as an edict of Ninghai, and his son Chen (the first ancestor) loved to travel around the mountains all his life. When he reached middle age, he began to retire, so he took his family and servants and began to choose a good place to retire.

Under the guidance of feng shui master, they searched for dragons and water and found a secluded place surrounded by green mountains. Layers of green hills are like screens, guarding a plain with seven stars arching the moon, which is very suitable for settlement, so Chen Gong lived in seclusion here and named it "Dongping". After thousands of years of rest and recuperation, the incense is flourishing, and the descendants have been 33 generations so far, becoming the largest village where Sanmen Chen lives.

Dongping ancient village is a well-deserved paradise and pure land on earth. However, after the Japanese invaders invaded in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the village was forbidden to be destroyed in the sea at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and the ancient village was nirvana several times. After several renovations, the village adopted a group layout and built coastal defense buildings represented by thick walls, narrow lanes and stone windows, so it is known as "the first village of coastal defense culture in China". Although this paradise lost its original ancient charm, it also added a little taste of leaving home.

Dongping ancient village still retains a relatively complete ancient village complex. You don't need tickets to travel to Dongping Ancient Village. It is a good place for sightseeing, taking photos and punching in. It is worth mentioning that there is also Dongping Red Makeup Museum with the theme of "Shili Red Makeup Wedding Custom", which combines static red makeup with wedding custom to appreciate the unique wedding custom and local culture in eastern Zhejiang.

Strolling in the mottled light and shadow of Gu Xiang, a heavy feeling of the years comes to my face, the sunset overflows the eaves, the breeze is still wet, and tourists are weaving. If this elongated figure was in the years thousands of years ago.

The author was lucky enough to witness Chen's ancestor worship in Dongping Winter. The ancestor worship ceremony, which has been circulating for thousands of years, is huge and shakes all directions. Dongping gave birth to Chen's descendants, all over the world. On this day, Chen's descendants, who are far away from home, rushed back to Wan Li to attend, which can be described as "ancestors are far away and have to worship".

After three quarters of fasting in Yin Shi, the worship ceremony began. The venue is located outside Chen's ancestral hall, and there are many sacrifices already arranged on the Temple of Heaven. Cigarettes are everywhere and firecrackers are everywhere. Chen's descendants made three obeisances and nine knocks, chanting blessings and praying for good weather, bumper harvests and peace and prosperity in the coming year. After the ancestor worship, there will be a reunion dinner, a winter solstice drama for five days and five nights, and a picture of singing and dancing for life.

Only by personally participating in such a huge scene can we personally feel the touch. The cultural customs of ancestor worship in Dongping ancient village from winter solstice deeply touched tourists. Thinking about the source of drinking water, people should not "forget their roots", fear their ancestors and the past, which is the foundation of the continuous inheritance of the Chinese nation.

The main purpose is to visit Dongping ancient village, return to the countryside and make you feel happy. However, during the journey, knowing more about a period of history and an anecdote will make the meaning of tourism come to the next level.

Pay attention to the "fruit crow" and learn more exciting.
