I am a traveler who does not like to crowd people, I have been to Wuyuan many times, I have not seen the romantic Li Keng in the rape flowers, nor have I seen the Huangling in the autumn, but I have a soft spot for the ancient villages forgotten by tourists.
Most of the people in Huangcun are surnamed Yu, built the village in the Southern Song Dynasty, their history is quite legendary, some people say that it is the descendants of Qin Hui to avoid disasters to come here, change the Yu character below the Qin character to the surname, and at the same time do not forget the emperor's grace, then take the Huang word as the name of the village, but the local Yu family is very annoyed by this statement, saying that there is a genealogy as evidence, the ancestor of the village is Yu Daoqian, a native of Tongcheng, Anhui Province of the Southern Song Dynasty, resigned and later settled here, to cultivate and read the heirloom, the descendants of later generations live up to expectations, and gradually carry forward the Yu family, there is the glory of the brothers, the most important building in the village, the Yu clan ancestral hall can be testified, it is said that the ancestral hall just laid the foundation when received good news, someone won the champion, and is the lintel on the fourth word of the first base.
However, the Yu family believes that in addition to personal efforts, there is also the protection of the ancestors and the feng shui layout of the village. Not to mention, the layout of Huangcun is indeed built according to the four treasures of the study, a thousand-year-old yew tree at the entrance of the ancestral hall is the pen, the long stone bench at the door of every household is the inkstone, and the water in the half-moon pond is ink, and the field at the entrance of the village is naturally paper, and it is true if you look closely.
Regardless of whether this layout is really good feng shui, but the family style of the Yu family does bring glory to the family, the Ming and Qing dynasties have produced many talents, so that the small Huangcun can not accommodate so many people, and gradually relocated to the nearby Zhangcun, Likeng, and even the surrounding counties and cities, known as the birthplace of Wuyuan Yu, when the writer Yu Qiuyu came to Wuyuan to visit, he came to the ancestral hall of the Yu family in Huangcun, claiming to be the descendants of the Yu family in Huangcun, and it is considered to be the ancestor of the eight classics.
Today's Huangcun still retains the quaint atmosphere, the ancestral hall is the oldest building in the village, the courtyard is full of the pillars of the Ming and Qing dynasties, although you can't enter the inside of the ancestral hall, you can clearly see its three-entry high-walled courtyard structure when standing on a high place, and other old households are built around the ancestral hall, such as the stars and the moon. The high wall is surrounded by deep and narrow alleys, and in the alley behind the ancestral hall, I was surprised to see a sign that reads "Pan Jinlian House", I was a little confused at the time, isn't this the character in **?Even if there are people from Qinghe County, Shandong, but it is clearly established by Wuyuan**, which is indeed a bit out of place.
The village is full of high-rise houses, the deep alleys are deep and dark, because it is difficult to see the sun all the year round, the corner of the wall is full of moss, the damp watermark is mottled and deeply embedded in the wall, like the traces of the years can not be swept away, only the thousand-year-old yew at the entrance of the ancestral hall is still old and strong, hanging with the crystal clear red bean fruit of the tree, nourishing the descendants of the Yu family, and also like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life watching over the grass and trees here.
It's a pity, this mountain surrounding, quiet and quiet ancient village, probably forgotten by the world, even the iron lock of the ancestral hall is rusty, wandering around in the village for half a day, not to mention tourists, even the villagers are rarely met, only some old people with children, busy at the door of their own three-point vegetable field, tourists are shuttling in the hustle and bustle of the worldly red dust, lingering in the illusory lights, no car and horse hustle, no voice, no merchant shouting, even can not hear the wind of the bleak seer, if there is a sound in winter here, that is the sound of the thick humanistic atmosphere of the millennium Huang Village, the long and ancient Huang Village, such as a jar of old wine buried for many years, only for people who understand it to open。 If there is a sound in winter
