In Wuyi County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, there are two bright pearls hidden deep - Baocun Village and Yanfu Temple under the mountain. Although these two places are not far apart, they each carry different histories and cultures, and together they build a rich and colorful cultural picture.
Yamashita Bao Village, an ancient village whose name reveals a profound historical heritage. Walking into this village is like stepping back in time. Ancient houses, mottled stone walls, winding alleys, each one tells a story of the past. The architectural style here is unique, not only the classical charm of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also the modern elements of the ** period, forming a different kind of architectural aesthetics.
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin once praised the village of Bao under the mountain, and regarded it as a model of architecture in the mountainous areas of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Their praise is not only an affirmation of the architectural style of Yamashita Bao Village, but also a recognition of the profound cultural heritage of this ancient village. Today, Yamashita Bao Village has become a popular tourist destination, attracting countless tourists to visit.
Yeonfukuji Temple, a historic Buddhist temple, is located at the foot of the mountain, not far from Bao Village. The temple was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and has been renovated many times and has a history of more than 800 years. Yeonfukuji Temple is the first Zen forest in Wuyi Prefecture and was once the center of local Buddhist activities.
Although Yamashita Bao Village and Enfukuji Temple have their own characteristics, they have a close connection with each other. When Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin visited these two places, they started at Yanfu Temple and then arrived at Bao Village at the foot of the mountain. This order not only reflects their respect for and pursuit of history and culture, but also hints at the close historical connection between the two places.
The simplicity of Yamashita Bao Village and the solemnity of Yeonfukuji Temple complement each other, and together they form a beautiful picture. Here, one can feel the weight of history and the harmony of nature. The ancient buildings of Yamashita Bao Village and the Buddhist culture of Yeonfukuji Temple blend together, presenting a tourist attraction full of historical charm and cultural atmosphere for tourists.
