Heguilou is the first earth building we saw after entering Yunshuiyao Ancient Town, and it is also the earth building that left me the deepest impression. Fujian Tulou is well-known, and Guilou can be used as an important window for tourists to understand Tulou culture. When you come to and Guilou, you must go upstairs to see. This is one of the few Tulous that can be climbed.

    Hegui Building, also known as the foot building, is located in the village of Meilin Town, Nanjing County, 53 kilometers away from the city of Nanjing. Built in the Qing Dynasty, it was built by Jianciping Gong, with a total investment of 155,000 silver, and it covers an area of 1547 square meters. It is the tallest earth building in Nanjing. This earth building is built on a marshland, with more than 200 pine trees piled and paved, after more than 200 years, it is still solid and stable, and well preserved. And Guilou "three strange" and Guilou five floors high, 21.5 meters, don't underestimate this number, this is the "most in the world", that is to say, and Guilou is the tallest of all Fujian Tulou known, this is a strange. And Guilou has 28 rooms on each floor, a total of 140 rooms. The building opens a gate in the middle, and there are stairs up and down in each of the north and west. It was built in Qinghuizheng ten years (1732), it is said that the original site to build the building, did not find this is a marshland, the building built a layer, suddenly the whole floor like a wreck, slowly sinking to the rotten ground, the building of the Jane family of the family helpless, had to hit the wall of the sinking building more than 100 cubic meters. The piles, they felt that the foundation was strong, and they began to plough the wall from scratch and build a five-story square building. They seemed very sure, never worried that the building would tilt or sink, and it was true that for more than 200 years, and the building was solid and golden, and the wind and rain were not moving. You can insert iron wire into the ground in the small patio of the middle school hall, you can insert more than 5 meters deep in one breath, pull out the iron wire, you can see the trace of silt on the iron wire, if you lame here, the whole patio boulder will shake like a ripple, this is the second wonder. And the third strangeness of the building, that is, two wells in the building, 18 meters apart, the water level of the well is higher than the ground, the well on the left, clear as a mirror, the water quality is sweet, a few red carp in the well swim, like a spirit, and the well on the right is turbid yellow, filthy, completely undrinkable. This is a strange landscape due to the different material structure of the two wells. Since the shallow layer of the marsh is rotting marsh water, the deep layer is drinking groundwater. So both wells were drilled into the groundwater layer at the design time. However, the well is made of cement, and the turbid well is made of small round stones. This leads to less gap in the wall of the turbid well, and the gap in the wall of the turbid well is larger. While two wells pass through the marsh layer, a large amount of marsh water seeps into the turbid water, resulting in its turbidity and toxic, and the clear water wells do not seep into much so can be drunk.

    Hegui Building is one of the two most famous earth buildings in Yunshuiyao Scenic Area. Located on the south side of the scenic spot, you can see it within a few minutes from the ticket office. It is a square-shaped earth building with villagers living in it, both with a life atmosphere and historical charm.

    It's a little interesting with your building. It was built in thousands of square meters of marsh. Why? Because this is a geomantic treasure! Jane's family are all boys in reproduction. One of them was admitted as a scholar. He stood beside the gate of your building. The shape of the pole looks like a brush pen. It means that he was admitted as a civil servant. There are mountains in front and back of this building, which is also the saying of geomantic omen. There is a stone paved in the atrium of the building. If you jump up, it will seep and tremble. Can you guess how it was built? There are two wells on both sides of the building. On the left, there are Yinyang wells. They are very clear. And a few meters away is a dirty well, very turbid! It's strange! So these two wells are for food and fire fighting! It's worth seeing!
