The famous Jinshi Village in Anhui is a geomantic treasure of the Hu family. Why is there a family named Ding in the village?
Anhui Wannan has beautiful mountains and clear waters and a prosperous literary style. It is dotted with many ancient villages, many of which have a history of thousands of years. In addition to Hongcun and Xidi, which we are familiar with, there are also many ancient villages in Jixi, Anhui. It is not well-known, so not many tourists know about it. Longchuan Village is a famous Jinshi Village and has produced celebrities in large numbers throughout the ages.
Jixi, Anhui is particularly suitable for slow travel. The Anhui-Zhetian Road and the Hui-Hang Ancient Road here are very suitable for self-driving. I also like Jixi because there are many ancient villages here. Longchuan Village is located in Yingzhou Town, Jixi County. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Hu Yan settled in Longchuan Village and became the ancestor of the Hu family in Longchuan Village. This is the geomantic treasure of the Hu family.
Many ancient villages in southern Anhui are not very famous and still maintain their original ecological appearance. Walking into the village and strolling along the river in the village will give you a peaceful and happy scene. Why is Longchuan Village said to be the Feng Shui treasure land of the Hu family?
There is the Hu family ancestral hall in Longchuan Village, which is an ancient Chinese ancestral temple building. This ancestral hall was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Over the past dynasties, the Hu family has produced many celebrities and scholars. In the Tang Dynasty, Jixi produced a In the Song Dynasty, Hu Mi, the general of the Sanqi Dynasty, produced the censor Hu Shunzhi who was famous for his two impeachments of Qin Hui. In the Ming Dynasty, there were Hu Fu and Hu Zongxian, the ministers of Yishi. In the Qing Dynasty, there were Hu Kaiwen, a famous Huizhou ink master, and Hu Xueyan, a red-top businessman. In modern times, there were The famous scholar Hu Shi was born here, and there were also famous national leaders. If you have been to Longchuan Village, you will have heard of these celebrities from past generations.
There is also a Chengxintang rice paper workshop in the village, where you can appreciate the ancient papermaking process. Longxu Mountain in the east of Longchuan Village is named after the longxu grass that is rich in papermaking raw materials. It is the right time and place. This kind of rice paper workshop is now mainly used for display and tourist experience.
In ancient times, site selection paid special attention to Feng Shui. The entire shape of Longchuan Village is like a big ship, with a water street winding through the village. Everyone in the village has the surname Hu, but over the years, , there has always been a family named Ding in the village. What is the reason for this?
It turns out that in the pronunciation of Jixi, the accent of Hu is "floating". The shape of the village is like a boat. If a big boat floats on the water, it will not gather wealth. From a Feng Shui perspective, it is not good. Ding's family was invited by the Hu family, and the boat floating on the water was nailed to this geomantic treasure land, which has also made Longchuan Village a place where many talents have emerged for thousands of years.
Longchuan Village is very quaint. It is quiet and peaceful. You can also see the shops on the street selling various little people's books. I don't know how many people will buy them.
The ecological environment of Longchuan Village is very good. People have followed the living habits for thousands of years, writing at sunrise and resting at sunset. This is probably the poetry and distance that many people yearn for. Longchuan Village has a prosperous literary style , with numerous talents coming out, it is a famous Jinshi Village in Huizhou. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, it developed to a heyday. In the Ming Dynasty, 24 people were awarded Jinshi, accounting for a quarter of the county. It was known as "Yi Shi, two ministers, three Jinshi in one discipline". It is really amazing to have so many talented people come out of a small village.
When you come to Longchuan Village, you must visit the hometown of Hu Zongxian. Speaking of this name, I don’t know how many people are familiar with it. Hu Zongxian’s greatest achievement in his life was to pacify the Japanese pirates. The famous Qi Jiajun in history was related to him. The historian said: "Without Hu Zongxian, there would be no Qi Jiajun." Hu Zongxian's hometown is located among green mountains and beautiful waters. The rooms are not big, but they have typical Huizhou characteristics, elegance and exquisiteness, and long ancient charm.
