In Longyan Village, the farmhouse compound is a scene, even in Qinglian Town, it also occupies a place.

The farmhouse compound is famous, and Qian Shusheng has always wanted to explore and see the style. Nonglu has always been low-key, and when he saw Qian Shusheng mention it again, he no longer shirked.

In autumn, the climate is cool and pleasant. Nonglu and Qian Shusheng entered Longyan Village, walking on this famous half of the old street, although it is now a little declining, but it used to be the distribution center of tea and mountain goods in several nearby counties and towns, so there are still some prosperous shadows looming in front of you.

This half of the old street is famous because of the "stalagmites" in the stone slabs paved on the street. In the past, people only knew that there were bamboo shoots in the stones.

According to the modern scientific point of view, the "bamboo shoots" are submarine coelenterate fossils, which are actually fossil streets. There is a clear record in the ancient "County Chronicles" of Nanyi County: "There are stone shoots in the mountains, shaped like bamboo sprouts, with one path in the majority, or there are three paths in a row; There are also those who are crisscrossed. The native saw that it was a screen, and the horizontal one was on the top, which was similar to the Taiji diagram, and it was also a strange product. "It's really amazing.

The farmhouse compound is the name given by the locals, and the name is called the compound, which is actually a private house. The pattern regulation has the style of the Hui school, and there is also the rhyme of Jiangxi, with green bricks, daiwa, firewalls, all available, and there are mascots on the tile ridge, symbolizing the good wishes of the descendants of the ancestors of the farmer.

Qian Shusheng first looked at the direction of the farmhouse compound and the surrounding directions, and then said: "This house, built uniquely, may have been seen by Mr. Feng Shui." ”

Nonglu didn't know any of this, so he said, "Maybe."

The compound sits in the north and faces south, is lined up in a line, there are three virtual doors outside, combined with three real doors, there are 12 rooms inside, a number of partial rooms, the main house is five-fold, two patios, the layout is ingenious. But there is also the puzzling part, all the rooms are connected to the main house, and you can enter through one door and exit through another. This may be due to residential security and ease of access.

Qian Shusheng praised: "The design is exquisite! ”

Looking around the compound, backed by the mountains, the front street and the backyard, it is quiet in the middle of noisy. Looking at the compound closely, the mottled walls and the aging beams and columns have shown signs of its gradual aging.

The compound is particular about the construction of the external structure. The door is retracted, which makes people feel the humility and low-key of the owner, and the unassuming style of acting. The doors are narrow, although it is a gate, it is not big, and it has a deep meaning. The doors vary in construction, with distinct ornamentation on the tile ridges and firewalls.

From the right, the first void door, the upper part is semicircular, the lower part is rectangular, and it sticks inward but not very deep, and a wooden door can be seen. The virtual door is connected with the outer wall of the compound, there are several auspicious totems inlaid in the middle, and the upper and lower layers are decorated with tiles, which seems to be scattered, the courtyard is high and wide, and it has the simple beauty of the pavilion.

Seeing this, Qian Shusheng sighed with emotion: "Your grandfather is really amazing!" ”

Nonglu seemed a little uncomfortable, and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes." ”

On each floor of the tile, two fish leap high, which is rare in local houses.

According to common sense, it is a common decorative mascot on the tile ridge of ancient buildings, which not only has the meaning of dominating the leader, but also has the saying of protecting the safety of one party. Walking inside, there is a void door in the middle, which is different from the first one. It is rectangular in the wall, above the virtual door, and the high is the wooden lintel, which is carved for the lattice, and the pattern is exquisite.

On the lintel, it is covered with green tiles again, which can not only shelter from wind and rain, but also show the momentum of the courtyard. Going deeper, you can see the second wooden door through the void door. On the tile ridge, there are two dragons, which are intended to pray for the protection of the gods and prevent fires and disasters. The door progresses between the virtual and the real, and gradually cramps up.

In the same way as the second void gate, the third door is still shrinking inward, from large to small, and narrower and narrower, which shows the humility of the master even more. The wooden door and the virtual door are narrow, and two dragons also stand on the tile ridge. The difference is that they come in different shapes. the third void door, on which is a symmetrical irregular body, and below which is a cuboid; On the virtual door is a green brick, and then up is a wooden lintel, and the lintel is connected to the tile ridge.

It seems to have a complicated structure, but it is full of the profound intentions of the owner of the compound.

Qian Shusheng wanted to study it in detail and said: "Architecturally speaking, this is the combination of virtual and real, deep and narrow, free to advance and retreat, and it is about the principle of being a person and doing things. ”

Nong Lu said wittily: "When I was a child, I was playing hide and seek Zang inside. ”

Hearing this, Qian Shusheng laughed.

It is worth mentioning that the three wooden doors are on the same horizontal line, and their size, width and narrowness are slightly the same. In traditional culture, the number "three" is common, and the I Ching interprets "three" as follows: "deep-rooted, thriving, auspicious, and smooth." It can be seen that the grandfather of the farm house paid hard work to build the farm compound back then.

Inside the first gate, enter through the narrow door and see a patio. The damp patio is covered with greenery. The sunlight spreads in and makes people suddenly feel bright. Then go inside, there is the hall, although there is a shallow threshold, but its gate is not visible. In this way, the hall looks brighter and brighter. It is supposed to be a place where guests and families can do their own activities.

Qian Shusheng has fully entered the role: "If you don't enter, you won't know that the courtyard is made of high-quality wood walls, and you won't know that the wood carving is so exquisite." ”

The farmer didn't think it was so good, so he said, "It's all old things." ”

"These are masterpieces of folk art!"

Qian Shusheng was quite interested, looking east, west, touching this, knocking on that, he was always aggrieved by the fact that the farmhouse compound was hidden here.

In the courtyard of the courtyard left and right and the hall door two, is connected by a fan lattice lacquered wooden board, from the bottom to the top of the meter, are hollow carving, and most of them are openwork, some openwork on the embossing, cascading, delicate and chic. From insects and birds, people to flowers, auspicious clouds, the arrangement is appropriate, the carving content is rich, and the ingenuity is unique.

On the wooden walls of the hall house, from the bottom to the top two meters, there are exquisite reliefs, convex and concave. There are a number of small grids on the wooden wall, and auspicious flowers are carved around the grid, such as lotus flowers, etc., and the carved picture in the middle is like an ancient play, and it is like narrating a story of the distant past, with characters, animals, trees, flowers and plants, and houses, vividly. In addition to the wood wall carving, the floor and the top of the room, some use green bricks, some use rammed earth bricks, which are paved tightly and flat, and have the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer, which shows that the compound is exquisitely constructed and has practical functions.

Nonglu pointed to a row of rooms and said, "This used to be a tea house. ”

Qian Shusheng said: "Well, there are still traces of the old tea house. ”

After looking at it, he said again: "This tea house used to be a smash hit. ”

In the integrated interior of the courtyard, the spiritual leaf buds held up by a pair of slender jade hands seemed to turn into an auspicious cloud floating up, and the posture was vigorous, and it was about to fly away.

The grandfather of the farmer has always had a deep understanding of Buddhism, which is also reflected in the details of the construction of the house. On the right side of the Buddha statue in the house, the longevity peach embodies the health and longevity of the tea tasper. The peach in the scenic realm, it is the abbot of the fir temple in the past, every time I miss the rock cliff behind the temple, several old tea trees under the shade of mangosteen. Every year when the spring rain urges the tea bush, when the branches pull out new shoots, the leaf buds emerge and turn into green onions, and then the new shoots gradually unfold and rise steadily. This scene made the abbot very happy, and he felt that "I am a person with lost hair, poor and lonely, but my ambitions are lofty, and I want to be neighbors with this tea, like a close friend." ”

In some of the paintings decorated in the courtyard, bamboo often appears. Qian Shusheng looked at it carefully, as if he was moved by the scenery in the painting, and couldn't help but read: "Guests don't think about tea as wine, and the mountain dwelling is a remote corner of the bamboo as a neighbor." ”

The wind bones of the green bamboo in the mountain, as written in the poem: "Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks." Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. ”

Looking back at the farmhouse compound, Qian Shusheng suddenly realized: the tea language is hidden everywhere in the building, and the mystery is hidden, especially the truth that the width and narrowness are not outside the body, which is really mysterious.

On the way back, the eyes are full of autumn colors. Qian Shusheng reluctantly left the farmhouse compound and said a meaningful word to the farmer: "It's time for the harvest season." ”

Coincidentally, after returning from the farmhouse compound, soon, the farm house was happy to have a thousand gold, and was named Nong Tianqin. Nong Lu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and unconsciously said to himself: The dragon and phoenix are auspicious! This is nothing more than saying that they have a son and a daughter.
