Yashao Eighteen Ancient Vernacular Dwellings

It is worth going because the house is relatively complete, the original residents are simple, and they can understand the history of the house from the conversation. It is still free to visit. The house has a long story, and it is also very interesting. You can see the promotional version when you see it. Unfortunately, the unknown bus route arrived.

Not bad, you can walk, not big, no overdevelopment.

If you like to shoot movies and have a boyfriend with technology flow, you can take some ancient photos. There are large farmland nearby, and you can also make movies. If you are simply playing, it is not recommended to go, it is just an ordinary rural blue brick building. You don't have to watch it in 5 minutes. To be honest, there is no special feature. Not worth the 30 minutes drive.

Smaller, okay, not far away, take pictures, a good place for few people

The 18th Block of Xiyuan is a well-preserved ancient Qing Dynasty residence in Yaqi Town, Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province. Historically, the 18th Block of Xiyuan was first built by the ancestors here, the name of the Gong, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and has a history of more than 200 years. Although it has been baptized for more than 200 years, due to the careful maintenance of the descendants of Yuan's family, the ancient village has been preserved intact. The name of this village is a bit strange at first glance. The so-called "18 buildings", as the name implies, refers to the 18 buildings in the village built more than 200 years ago, the layout is neatly arranged according to 6×3, the green brick exterior wall, the green brick laneway, each house has two ears, are common in Lingnan area "ear house".

The "18 seats" are famous in Yangjiang and even Guangdong, and are a symbol of the rich and prosperous side of the Yuan family. Careful friends look at the aerial photograph above and find that the ancient village complex is not only 18, but 36. This is because the descendants of Yuan have built another 18 houses on the basis of the original 18 and the original pattern is basically symmetrical, a total of 36 houses constitute a rare local large house, the scale is also a village. The name of the "18 seats" is traced back, and there is also a very interesting story. According to legend, more than 200 years ago, there was a villager named "square", with three brothers in his family, the eldest brother is good at Wen and the second brother is skilled in martial arts, and the third-oldest is good at doing business. He was mainly doing cattle dealer business at that time. It is rumored that other cattle traders at that time had a plague, killing a lot of cattle, and the business was very bad. Although the cows in the predicate also had rinderpest, but he rushed the cattle to Changtang to soak the water, the rinderpest disappeared, so he made a lot of money. After earning money, he wanted to build a house, he took his buddy to the city to buy building materials, but when he asked the building materials store owner for a price, the boss took a look at the untrimmed decoration, and he said dismissively: "My wood is very expensive, you can't afford it. The boss next to you can probably afford it. The "boss" referred to by the building materials store owner is the man of the name. Because the man is dressed more shiny than the name, it is no wonder the owner of the building materials store has taken it. Instead of defending, or angry, he said to the owner of the building materials store: "What if I can afford it?" The boss replied: "If you can afford it, I will buy one get one free, you build a house and I will give you a house." Immediately asked the man to return to the house to withdraw money, bought the building materials of nine houses in one breath, the building materials store owner can only dumbly eat Huanglian, fulfill his promise, and send the building materials of nine houses in vain. The building materials of the nine more houses were used to build 18 houses, which is the origin of the "18 houses". These ancient houses have very special Lingnan characteristics, each house has a towering roof shaped like pot ears, so "18", also known as the "18 houses". After the baptism of the vicissitudes of years, although the residential group has been damaged and changed a lot, but the layout is still as before, strolling in it, quiet ancient alleys, mottled old walls, details see the charm of Lingnan traditional architectural culture.
