How many people know about Bailu Village, a Hakka ancient culture tourist village in Ganzhou, Jiangxi?

Bailu Village is located in the north of Ganxian County, 63 kilometers away from Ganzhou City. Egrets had formed human settlements as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and then they became increasingly prosperous. There are 560 households with more than 2,500 people in Bailu Village, and 99% of the residents are Hakka bells handed down from generation to generation. The village is half-moon, with an area of 0.2 square kilometers. Among the 60,000-square-meter ancient buildings in this village, there are more than 140 Hakka dwellings over a hundred years, and most of the antique blue brick and black tile buildings were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The Egret Ancestral Temple is about 10 meter high, all black tiles and blue bricks, resplendent and magnificent; A series of neatly arranged volcanic walls, cornices and corners are extraordinary in momentum. Carved beams and painted buildings in the hall, jade pillars and bright windows, and large and small patios are scattered; The main hall and the partial hall complement each other, and the houses are in good order. There are round "dragon-holding stone" and long "flagpole stone" at the entrance of the ancestral hall of the official family, which are engraved with words and patterns to indicate the master's fame and rank. Between ancestral temples, a stone tablet of "Taishan Shi Gandang" decorated with animal heads or little lions with claws and claws is often hung on the wall or roof of the roadway intersection blocked by "Feng Shui" to ward off evil spirits.

There are two kinds of ancestral halls in Bailu village: most of them are "ancestral halls" where several close relatives live together and worship their ancestors; The other is dedicated to offering sacrifices to the ancient ancestral shrine, where adult children and grandchildren who died in the name of their ancestors were buried and held a "farewell ceremony". This is a "dedicated" ancestral hall.

Behind an ancestral temple, there is a vivid figure and a tortuous and bizarre story.

There are many Hakka folk customs in Gannan, such as "drinking tea", "beating glutinous rice", "chopping shredded fish" and "burning taro pills", giving patients "night cries", "greeting lanterns", "grabbing sedan chairs" and "burning tile towers". The folk houses such as "Mrs. Wang Temple", "Xiulou" and "Ailu" are unique here and record the rise and fall of Bailu Village for thousands of years.

Today, Egret, a bright pearl bred by ancient culture and Hakka culture, stands out. Its unique Hakka residential buildings and unique folk customs attract experts and scholars at home and abroad to visit and collect customs, and become a good place for Hakka folks, businessmen and scholars at home and abroad to find their roots and ask their ancestors for leisure and entertainment.
