The Soul of Wuyuan Village —— Shuikou Culture
The most unique classical beauty of Wuyuan village is Shuikou culture.
Ancient Huizhou people believed that "trees support people and water supports wealth". Generally, when choosing a village site, they should pay attention to "Tianmen Dihu". In the direction where water comes from Tianmen, Tianmen should be opened, and in the direction where water goes from the village entrance, Tianmen should be closed. If you keep water, you keep wealth. Therefore, in the Shuikou, plant trees, build abutments and towers, and increase the momentum of locking keys. This layout is in line with the theory of geomantic omen, that is, in places with geographical defects, dams are built, bridges, pavilions, temples and writing towers are built, and these buildings also make the village environment beautiful and natural, with a strong humanistic atmosphere.
And from a scientific point of view, raising the water level is convenient for daily life, drinking water irrigation, and so is Fuze Township.
It can be seen that Huizhou ancestors took great pains to plan the construction of Shuikou.
Running water flows through the village, nourishing the residents on the shore.
At the downstream of the running water, at the rising water level, at the end of the village, residents' daily laundry is here.
Usually in the early morning, rice is cooked in a pot, and the women in the village go to the stream one by one with baskets.
This is the most open and active place in the village.
Far and wide, talk about everything. As long as you spend a morning working hard, whether you want to inquire about the well-proportioned and dashing second son of Lao Wang's family in the next village or the charming and lovely young lady of Lao Li's family in the next village. Whatever you want to know, you can get the answer here without giving money.
This is not only a place to talk about what's going on in the world, but also a "big court". Tell me about the injustice you have encountered, and there will be a "big judge" to rule for you in court. If the verdict cannot be pronounced at the moment, there will still be a "mediator" to help adjust. Originally, the dark clouds have come, and the time for a basket of clothes can be relieved to go back.
The women in the village are full and smiling. When I got home, the rice was steaming.
