Section 272 The beautiful scenery of the ancient city

After listening to this, I sighed, upset, and said worriedly: "Then if it is like what you just said, then this unstoppable Mufu is very big, you just said that there are hundreds of houses, it is estimated that it is not easy to find, it is estimated that it is exactly the same as the situation when we went to the Potala Palace last time, and it will take a lot of effort, it will be troublesome to think about it, and it must be heavily guarded, it is not so easy to enter, hey, think about it, the head is big, where is it in Mufu?"

Xiao Fei said disapprerovingly: "You don't have to worry now, it's useless to be anxious, but there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. ”

I nodded busily, and then suddenly said: "But I suddenly remembered one thing, the history textbooks don't clearly say that this old town of Lijiang was built at the end of the Song Dynasty, that is, more than 1200 years AD, why is there the old town of Lijiang so early more than 1000 AD, more than 100 years earlier, it's incredible, it's really strange, is it because there is a problem with the research of history textbooks, do we want to rewrite history textbooks?"

Xiao Fei rested on the helicopter for a long time, his physical strength was much better, and he talked more, he thought about it carefully and said: "It may be different from the prosperous Lijiang Old Town of our modern society, it should be a small scale of Lijiang Old Town, but seeing is believing, you, you are just anxious, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, we will know the situation when we go——"

But this helicopter is fast, it is really a galloping speed, not long after, we can see the fields dotted below, dense, row upon row, houses, we all cautiously the helicopter stopped to a hidden place, and then everyone was elated, joyful and walked into the ancient city.

The people in the ancient city are bustling, the river is endless, it is very lively, the ancient street paved with cyan stone is full of people coming and going, they are happy, talking and laughing, talking and laughing, the construction of the ancient city is indeed not so prosperous now, the small scale of gathering is only, but the design of the ancient city is very reasonable, ascending the Range Rover, built according to the mountain, by the mountain and the water, set up along the water flow, paved with red breccia (five-flower stone), skillfully using the terrain, there is Lion Mountain in the west, there is Elephant Mountain in the north, Jinhong Mountain, back to the northwest and southeast, avoids the cold of the snow-capped mountains, connects the warm wind from the southeast, gathers the Tibetan wind, and occupies the convenience of the location. Also near the river on the water, full of aura, the ancient city makes full use of the convenience of the spring water, so that the water of the jade river is divided into three in the city, three into nine, and then divided into countless canals, gurgling and flowing in the ancient city, making the main street by the river, the alley is near the canal, so that the ancient city is spotless, clean and clean, and full of vitality, full of greenery, walking the street into the hospital, the residential houses are scattered. The building is all simple courtyard dwellings, although the house structure is simple and rough, but the courtyard layout and detailed decoration are rich and delicate, in addition to these Naxi residents like to plant flowers and trees at four o'clock, forming a beautiful harmony between man and nature, entering the city and crossing the bridge, the ancient free and flexible, eclectic, dwellings, markets, roads, water system organizations are scattered reasonably, properly configured, plus stone bridges, wooden bridges, flowers, birds, insects and fish, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Folk customs and folk customs, giving birth to infinite interest, poetry and painting, make the ancient city unique, colorful, beautiful, unforgettable, unforgettable.

As far as the eye can see, this old town of Lijiang is really beautiful, there is a feeling of graceful and agile Jiangnan water town, although the scale is not as magnificent as the modern society, but it is still small, and the five organs are complete. The ancient street is built according to the mountain, set up along the water flow, the texture is delicate, paved with red breccia, not muddy in the rainy season, no fly ash in the dry season, the various patterns and patterns on the stone road are natural and elegant, the texture is delicate, and complement each other. And there must be a bridge with water, wonderful, colorful, as beautiful as the water city Venice, charming, fascinating, unique, this Lijiang old town is really the world of the bridge, dense, every three or five are like the bending moon like the stone bridge, across it, the name is also particularly good, there are covered bridges (wind and rain bridge), stone arch bridge, stone slab bridge, wooden plank bridge, lock cui bridge, big stone bridge, thousands of bridges, South Gate Bridge, Saddle Bridge, Renshou Bridge, as Xiao Fei said, the best-looking, the most unforgettable, love at first sight is still that, but the history of this stone bridge is more ancient, not the big stone bridge of the Ming Dynasty, should be the head of the ancient city bridge, from the bridge quietly flowing in the clear river water can see colorful, snow-white as jade Jade Dragon Snow Mountain reflection, also known as Yingxue Bridge. The beautiful double-hole stone arch bridge is like a rainbow on the gurgling river, extraordinary, the arch ring is supported with slate stone, the bridge is more than 10 meters long, the bridge is nearly 4 meters wide, the bridge deck is paved with traditional five-flower stone, the slope is gentle, and it is convenient for both sides of the river. It's really a small bridge and flowing water, the ancient road west wind and thin horses,

Next to it is the famous Sifang Street, why is it called Sifang Street, it is because of the boxy, so it is named, the shape is very similar to the square prefect seal, named Sifang Street by Tusi, and the meaning of the right town is Sifang. It is also said that it is called Sifang Street because the roads here lead to all directions, and it is a distribution center for people and logistics in all directions. Square Street is the heart of the old town of Lijiang. Sifang Street is famous for its unique street scene of colored stone paving, clear water washing street, day and middle market, and twilight cleaning field. It is surrounded by 6 colorful flower and stone streets according to the mountain trend, radiating away, and the streets and alleys are connected. It is well connected in all directions, and the traffic is very convenient, and the shops on both sides of the street are lined up one after another. The commanding height on its west side is Kegong Fang, a three-storey gatehouse with a unique style. There is the West River in the west and the Middle River in the east. There is a movable gate on the West River, which can take advantage of the height difference between the West River and the Middle River to wash the street surface. From the four corners of Sifang Street, there are four main streets: Guangyi Street, Qiyi Street, Wuyi Street, Xinhua Street, and from the four main streets out of many streets and alleys, such as cobwebs staggered, extending in all directions, thus forming the Sifang Street as the center, let us step into the vivid, vivid Qingming Shanghe Tu of the prosperous scene, the ancient city in a large area presents the characteristics of Naxi architectural style, only to see three squares and one wall, four in five patios, the corner building style of the tile house buildings are lined up one after another, abound, not only highlight the structural layout, but also pursue the carved decoration, the outside is clumsy and the inside is beautiful, exquisite and ingenious. There are also a number of clear springs on the street, the fine water flows for a long time, it is beautiful, it is worth mentioning that the residents of the ancient city have always loved to plant flowers and trees to cultivate bonsai, all kinds of flowers are colorful, colorful, compete for beauty, the beauty is overwhelming, so that the ancient city enjoys the reputation that Lijun never likes to plant trees, and the mountain city flies flowers everywhere, and time seems to be frozen here, and it is static.

Hu Jiaojiao couldn't help but say: "These Naxi houses are really beautiful, really unique and different." ”

Duan Gongzi began to talk about it in a beaming manner: "Yes, in fact, most of the Naxi houses are similar, mostly civil structures, and the more common forms are as follows: three squares and one wall, four and five patios, front and back yards, one into two courtyards and other forms. Among them, Fangyi Zhaobi is the most basic and common form of Naxi folk house in Lijiang. In terms of structure, the main house is generally higher, facing south, facing the wall. It is mainly used for the elderly, the east and west compartments are slightly lower, and the younger generations live, and the patio is used for daily life, mostly paved with bricks and stones, and often beautified with flowers and plants. If there is a house facing the street, residents use it as a pavement. The three squares and one wall dwellings in the countryside are slightly different from those in the towns in terms of function. Generally speaking, the three squares are two-storey, the east-facing main house and the south-facing wing house live downstairs, the upstairs is used as a warehouse, and the north-facing square is used as a stable downstairs, and the upstairs is used to store forage. In addition to the use of life, the patio is also used for production (such as drying millet or processing grain), so the patio in the countryside is slightly larger, the floor is smooth, not paved with bricks and stones, and the carved dragon paints the building, the part on the pillar is built with the bucket frame technique, and the tip of the building is pasted with gold solid roof. The ceiling is painted with the patterns of Taiji map, flying god king, dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, the lines are smooth, the colors are gorgeous, it has the architectural art style of Han, Tibet, Naxi and other nationalities, it is a rare treasure and a typical example in ancient Chinese architecture. That's why it's different and unforgettable. ”

Zeng Lu happily said: "By the way, Duan Gongzi, I also found that one of the most striking features of Naxi houses is that they have a large mansion in front of their house, by the way, what is this thing called here?"

Duan Gongzi continued to talk endlessly: "This is called the verandah, also called Xiazi, Miss Zeng Lu's observation ability is good, this thing is indeed one of the most important components of the Naxi people in Lijiang, and its indispensable importance is undiminished, which is inseparable from the pleasant climate of Lijiang." Therefore, the Naxi people moved some of the functions of the rooms to the Xiazi, such as eating and meeting guests. In terms of architectural design, architectural style and art, the Naxi dwellings in the ancient city of Dayan are the most distinctive. The ancient city is located in Lijiang Dam, with Xiangshan Mountain and Jinghong Mountain in the north, Lion Mountain in the west, and a cheerful and vast southeast side, with dozens of miles of fertile fields. In the city, the jade spring water flowing from the foot of Xiangshan Mountain flows from the northwest of the ancient city to the Yulong Bridge, and is divided into three tributaries of the West River, the Middle River and the East River, and then divided into countless tributaries to flow through the streets and alleys in the ancient city. Taking advantage of this favorable natural conditions, the streets of the ancient city are neatly and freely laid out, the main street is near the river, the alleys are facing the canal, the road extends with the straight canal, and the houses are combined according to the height of the terrain. ”

Duan Gongzi and I took a special look at Mufu for some reason, but it didn't look like it was written like a history textbook - it was originally a hereditary Tusi Mu clan office in Lijiang, slightly prepared in Yuan, and Sheng in Ming. The restored and reconstructed wooden house covers an area of 46 acres, sits west to east, along the central axis according to the topography to build 15 buildings, such as Zhongyi Fang, Yimen, the front meeting hall, Wanjuan Building, the Dharma Protector Palace, Guangbi Building, Yuyin Building, Sanqing Palace, the matching hall, the attic, the stage, the street building, the courtyard, the corridor, the palace station, etc., 162 rooms in total. There are eleven plaques given by several generations of emperors in the ya, which are written on loyalty, sincerity to serve the country, and Jining border. Now it's just a big magnificent room, but we asked, because this Mu family is a big family in Lijiang, a group of guards, it is still very strict, we feel that we are still taking advantage of the situation at night, so as not to startle the snake in the blue sky and day.

But we were dazzled, dizzying to see the beautiful scenery of the ancient city for a long time, feeling that the stomach was still too hungry, but everyone looked exhausted, and they all discussed to find delicious things in the ancient city of Lijiang, fortunately, the snack bars in this square ancient street are dense, innumerable, we see a family coming and going, the snack bar is full of people, full of happy fireworks in the world, and the business is booming, it must be good, so everyone is busy striding into the meteor, as expected, there is really a lot of food inside, everyone can't wait to sit down, waiting for a hearty gluttonous feast.
