Jiexi countryside residential feng shui
Jieyang became a prefecture-level city in the early 1990s. Because of geographical location and other reasons, it can't be as blockbuster as Shenzhen. Unknown? This is expected. Jieyang's popularity still needs to be improved, and its subordinate Jiexi County has been unknown for a long time.
Although Jiexi is not well-known, it is the cradle of businessmen and a famous tourist county in Chaoshan area, with attractions such as Huangmanqi Waterfall and Jingming Resort. In addition, there are many ancient villages with a long history and special patterns in the county, such as Yuemei Ancient Village in Dongyuan Town and Fengnan Village in Fengjiang Town.
Yuemei ancient village is a village with Zhuo surname, which is rare in Chaoshan area, but the village scale is second to none in Dongyuan Town.
This ancient village has a history of more than 600 years. Now, from a historical point of view, it is the old house part. Although it has been deserted, we can still feel the lively scene of living together in the past through the pattern of broken walls and the streets. From the layout of the building, we can also see the balance made by ancestors in geomantic omen, defense and home accommodation.
Yuemei Ancient Village is the most complicated village in Chaoshan? A hundred birds burn at the same time? Pattern, in the middle is the most famous ancestral temple building, which is mainly dedicated to ancestral tablets and is the place where villagers worship their ancestors on holidays.
The ancient village is a pattern of three streets and six lanes, with a quadrangle-style building of 18 in the middle, a door-to-door pattern in the outermost alley, and rows of soldiers guarding the yard in the middle.
In the past, when the traffic was blocked and the level of private economy was backward, the construction of villages should not only pursue comfortable living, but also consider safety issues. The houses in Yuemei Ancient Village are all connected by small doors. If it is not necessary, the small door will be closed, and it will be opened when something important happens, which is convenient for villagers to communicate, interact, pass materials, escape or resist the enemy in an orderly manner.
In the past, only one village confessed that villagers came in and out. Once the village gate is closed, outsiders can't get in, and the village seems to be a small society.
Looking through the data, we found that Zhuo ranked 277th among hundreds of surnames. This surname originated from Chu State in the Warring States Period, and its ancestor was Zhuo Hua, the great-grandson of Chu Weiwang.
Like many Chaoshan people, Zhuo's ancestors moved from Fujian to Guangdong, and they moved from Putian to Shantou, Huilai and Jiexi (Jieyang County in ancient times). This branch, which lives in Dongyuan Town, Jiexi County, has a large pool in front of the village, which looks like a crescent moon, hence the name Yuemei Village.
