Hongcun Village flowing through time
When it comes to Hui-style architecture, many people might think of Hongcun Village. Hongcun is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and through clever use of its geographical location and spatial layout, a village of Hui-style architecture has been built here. The houses in the village are well-arranged, and the interior and exterior decorations have distinctive local cultural characteristics.
With curiosity about Hui-style architecture, I came here by reputation. Shortly after entering the scenic area, I saw many students sketching by the river, with rows of Hui-style houses reflected on the river surface. From time to time, a breeze blew, causing ripples on the river, creating a rhythmic and very comfortable scene.
Along the river, across the arch bridge, following the crowd, I entered the ancient charm of Hongcun. The blue brick and black tile horse head walls are characteristics of Hui-style architecture. The houses are often decorated with red lanterns, and the connected houses outline the streets. The streets crisscross along the water flow, forming the overall outline of Hongcun.
Walking in the streets, it's like opening a scroll of time. Chengzhitang was once home to wealthy merchants, the sound of reading echoed in Nanhu Academy, and various folk art pieces were treasured in Shuren Hall. These marks of time allow every visitor to understand the history of Hongcun.
Unconsciously, I arrived at the central area of Hongcun - Moon Marsh. Moon Marsh is a crescent-shaped pond, reflecting the surrounding buildings. In Moon Marsh, quietly waiting for the moon to rise, watching the lights come on, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of this moment. With the arrival of nightfall, my journey in Hongcun also came to an end.
If you, like me, want to see Hui-style architecture, why not take a walk in Hongcun~

Who said that there is no snow in Jiangnan, do not believe you to Hongcun to see Anhui Hongcun, known as the painter's paper ink, Jiangnan poets wrote the painting of the countryside. The bridge on the south lake is famous for an Oscar-winning film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but more people know it because it has the reputation of the countryside in Chinese paintings. A representative Huizhou architecture, a high horse head wall, clear lake, arch bridge like rainbow, like a painting into many people's hearts.
Blue sky and white clouds, breeze blowing, exquisite carved wood, are worth seeing. I really suggest to give an explanation, understand that different patterns of wood carving have different meanings, there are similarities between the house and the house, but its history is different, to understand the wisdom of the ancients
Hongcun, located in Jixian County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, is a village full of ancient charm, known as "the village in the painting". Here, you can feel the beautiful scenery of traditional Chinese countryside and appreciate the vastness of ancient Huizhou culture.
Hongcun is indeed worth a visit. The scenery is beautiful and the buildings are simple. Especially living in it. It will feel very quiet at night. If you don't consciously sleep early and get up early, you will wake up naturally at six o'clock. It is not too pleasant to serve a night of porridge and small pickles in the morning. The local restaurant inside tastes good, the price is moderate, and the snacks are also delicious. I like Gegenyu, Baihuayu, Hairy Tofu, and Shiqi Cake ~
