Introduction to Wuyuan Qingyuan Ancient Village
Qingyuan Ancient Village is located in Duanxin Township in the northeast of Wuyuan County. It is only separated from the Wucheng of Xiuning County in Huangshan City, Anhui Province by Wulong Mountain, and is separated from Kaihua, Zhejiang Province by Majinling Mountain in the east. The canyon here is deep and secluded, as wide as the Pangu of Taihang, and as beautiful as the Peach Garden of Wuling. It is located on the top of thousands of mountains, blocking the outside but overflowing. It is a resort chosen by the ancestors many times to escape chaos, and is known as the Little Peach Garden. In the ancient pavilion of "Bieyoutian" at the entrance of Qingyuan Village, there is still a quatrain from the ancients: "The mountains are hidden in the sky, and the haze is beautiful. There is no water, no land, no boats, no traffic. Once the Central Plains is in chaos, my home is deep in the peach garden." There is a couplet on both sides of the gate of the original pavilion: "The carriages and horses are noisy, and the three paths are full of memories of the predecessors. The traces are not special. Tao Jingjie, the sound of chickens and dogs can be heard, but the four people here are peaceful and the falling flowers are like Wulingyuan." The horizontal couplet is "Deep in the Peach Garden". It is said that Qingyuan Ancient Village is a small Taoyuan, which also originates from this.
The mountains in Qingyuan Village are high and clear, the soil is fertile and foggy, the air is fresh and untainted by dust, the spring water is clear and full of aura, and the mountainside is covered with clouds and fog all year round. The tea in Qingyuan Ancient Village is called cloud tea, with fragrant tea and strong juice. Popular among the people. Tea has always been popular in the Hong Kong and Macao markets; cold water pond fish and mountain crucian carp are famous far and wide. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Wuyuan that "Duan Xin Yang Ji, Qing Yuan Yin Di".
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a Feng Shui master and his wife thought that Qingyuan was located in a high mountain canyon with no open space in front and behind, and the Yin Qi was heavy, resulting in male failure, so she led her people to the highest peaks on the left and right sides of the village. Mound tips and stone tips were built, "the trees on the hilltops remember the ancestors, and the village has a masculine spirit." Now the stone tip has fallen, and the pile of soil is pointed. The tip of the stone pile is two feet high, and it has become a man-made historical relic. The special ecological environment and microclimate make the phenology here more than half a month later than at the bottom of the mountain. When the peach blossoms at the bottom of the mountain are withering, but here is in the blooming period, people can't help but recite Bai Juyi's "The beauty of April in the world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin." In full bloom, I always regret that I can’t find a place to return in spring, and I don’t know where to turn.” The poem makes me feel that Qingyuan Ancient Village has a unique world.
