There is a thousand-year-old village, and I can't get out. What is the reason?
In China, many buildings pay attention to the layout of geomantic omen in order to change their fortune or achieve certain effects. In Anhui, there is such a thousand-year-old village, which was built according to the "Yin and Yang Eight Diagrams" in the Book of Changes. The whole village is like a maze. If outsiders go in, they will get lost even if they have a compass.
When a stranger walks to the village road behind the village and walks along the narrow street, he will find that the direction has changed, he can't tell the direction clearly, and he has an illusion in time and space. Without people, it is difficult to get out of the village. The small maze village is divided into two parts. People walk on the streets of the village, but it is difficult to grasp the direction of progress. After walking for a long time, they returned to their original place.
The most surprising thing is that there are 99 lanes here, but there is no regularity at all. Even the houses here are from west to east. We all know that houses built in China generally face south, which is conducive to lighting and ventilation. Is the maze layout of Chengkan Village naturally derived, or was it carefully arranged by Chengkan ancestors?
This is Chengkan, the first geomantic village in China. It is the oldest and most mysterious gossip village discovered and preserved so far in the world, and is known as the "paradise on earth" depicted by ink painting. So in fact, the so-called going in and not going out is actually an exaggeration, but the buildings inside are playing with people's sense of direction and people don't know where they have gone.
