Outsiders in this village can't get out of it at all.
The paths inside are like a labyrinth.
What happened to make the people who came into this village go and never return?
There is a very small mysterious village in Xiangxi, Hunan,
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side,
If you look at the whole of the village from a distance, you will find that it looks like a chair.
So the villagers named it High Chair Village.
One of the special things about this village is that once you enter this village, it will be difficult to get out.
The roads in this place are very intricate.
As long as the people who walk into this village are without exception,
They don't remember how they got in.
I don't know how to go out, and if I keep walking, I will always get lost.
This will only make you more and more confused.
Even the people in this village get lost,
They are only familiar with the few roads they often take,
For the vast majority of the roads they themselves are not very familiar with.
Even so, the whole village lives a very happy and peaceful life,
And they don't live in very poor households.
A village can be so mysterious,
Li Huaisun, an associate researcher at the Huaihua Art Museum, has been engaged in the study of folk culture for many years.
After learning about the special terrain of this village, I was very interested,
So I decided to explore it myself and see what was going on.
Soon he came to the village with a lot of curiosity
When Li Huaisun walked into this village, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
The terrain here is intricate, and each road has a particularly large number of points,
The walls on these roads are the same,
This makes it more difficult to judge the path you have taken.
Soon he got lost as he walked, but he didn't give up.
After going around several times, I finally found myself back where I started.
This made him feel very confused, how could he still get to the starting point,
This made Li Huaisun very unconvinced and decided to try again.
This time he carefully discerned and analyzed the road conditions,
In the end, I still didn't succeed in coming out.
In desperation, I had to ask the local villagers.
Originally, Li Huaisun thought that in a rural place,
No matter how rough the road is, it will not be impossible to walk,
As a result, in the alley of Gaoqiao Village, it is indeed impossible to go out.
After this personal experience, Li Huaisun was more interested in the road conditions of Gaoqiao Village.
How did this labyrinth-like village come about?
What is the law of the crisscrossing of the route?
Li Huaisun continued to explore the road conditions here with such curiosity.
He was surprised to find that every household in this village had a tank in it.
Then they asked the villagers what the tank was made of, and they had it in each house.
The size of this cylinder is the same, they regard this cylinder as an heirloom,
Passed down from generation to generation,
And this cylinder also has a particularly magical use,
They gave the cylinder a very nice name, called the listening cylinder.
The name is not just a casual name, but for a reason.
They say that through this cylinder they can hear sounds very far away,
And can accurately make a judgment on the position of this sound.
These words made Li Huaisun listen to some doubts,
But then, he really filmed the "weird" thing.
To verify that these words were true, investigators tested the cylinder.
He went to a very far place and walked back and forth there,
Villagers can then use the sound of the family tank to say very accurately where the investigators are.
After several trials, it was found that the cylinder was indeed just like the villagers said.
Wherever investigators go, villagers can learn her location through this jar.
And investigators can be found very accurately.
Seeing such a situation, Li Huaisun was very shocked,
For such a complex road condition, the accurate position can be distinguished by a cylinder,
He had never seen a cylinder that could accurately determine its position.
Maybe there is something that can be heard from a distance,
But it's not a good idea to tell where the sound is.
This cylinder has already competed with the radar we use now.
This village has a history of more than 600 years.
And until now the village has been very peaceful,
I have never experienced theft, and I have basically never encountered a very serious war.
This made Li Huaisun even more confused,
So he embarked on the path of inquiry again with these questions,
In the process of investigation and research, he found a special point,
At every junction there is a small temple.
This temple is used to worship the dukes of the land,
Li Huaisun recorded these temples and saw how many temples there were in this village.
Through the records, it was found that there were a total of forty-eight temples in this village.
Could it be that this land temple has some connection with the roads in the village?
So Li Huaisun depicted it on the drawings,
He first drew the center of the village and then he drew all the other places and finally connected them.
After connecting, it was found that the village was in the shape of a five-petal plum blossom.
The plum blossom shape it is combined with this wutong temple.
This village is centered on the lotus pond of The Great Pond,
It then stretches outwards, creating a total of five roads.
The five roads stretch in total in different directions,
These five laneways divide the village of Gaoqiao into five natural villages.
According to understanding, there are certain reasons why wutong temple appears in this place.
It was because at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to commemorate his soldiers,
A village was built specifically for this place.
Because many soldiers were sacrificed in the war at that time,
And they all do a great job,
In order to be able to better sacrifice them, Ming Taizu asked them to build the Wutong Temple.
Since he is five-dimensional, it is suspected that it has some relationship with Taoism.
But the difference with Taoism is that Taoism is that it is east, west, south, north, and north.
And the road of this wutong temple is plum-shaped.
After careful investigation, the village had nothing to do with Taoism.
In order to be able to figure out the doubts of this village as soon as possible,
This time he got a complete map of the village from the villagers,
After careful comparison, Li Huaisun was even more convinced that what he said was true.
The picture he painted was very consistent with the map given by the villagers.
The whole village is like a plum blossom array, which shows that when the village was first built,
It was built in the shape of a plum blossom,
And every road is very clearly built.
But this village is a very ordinary village,
And the location is also very bad,
Why is such a road so carefully built?
To figure out who built this village,
So Li Huaisun began to walk through every corner of the village,
Along the way, I kept asking the villagers.
Through the guidance of the villagers, he found a black carved plate,
Seeing this slate, it was obvious that it had been around for a certain amount of time.
After the introduction of the village name, this is left by their ancestors,
To celebrate their ancestors,
It is recorded that Yang Zaisi is understood to be their ancestor.
In order to find out whether this intricate route has anything to do with this person named Yang Zaisi.
Judging from the records in the classics of this village, from the thirteenth year of Ming Hongwu to the Republic of China period,
This Yang Zaisi is not the first person to live in this village.
For more than 600 years, they have been carefully guarding this place.
And slowly I also lived a very happy life.
This village is not for outsiders to come in and disturb them.
The yang family moved to this village only later.
A long time ago, there were many other families in this village with the surname Wang or Zhang.
After the Wang family moved in, slowly the other surnames moved away.
As the Yang family grew more and more people, they had to find a way to make money.
Because Gaoqiao Village is located on the banks of the Wushui River, the water and land transportation is very developed,
It is also a place where the famous Smoke and Soil Road must pass in history.
So they took advantage of the favorable terrain and started a business.
They shot the wood on the banks of the Wushui River,
It also sells salt, cloth and grain.
With the development of these, they have slowly developed, and there are more and more descendants.
After the family gradually grew, it began to accumulate its own wealth.
Although they are rich, there is one thing that makes them uneasy.
After having money, there will definitely be thieves, and they can't let their hard-earned money be stolen like this.
So they did everything they could to protect their wealth.
In the end, it was decided to create a place where money could be placed, and if someone wanted to rob it, they couldn't get in.
They picked them up one by one,
Some houses are flat, and the money house is stacked like this,
So the thieves have no way to get in.
That's how the layout of the plum blossom array was built.
Since the construction of this plum blossom array layout, the village has never encountered robbers again.
Because as long as they come in, there is no way to go out smoothly.
Although after more than six hundred years, in the outside world,
There have been many wars, but the village has not been affected at all.
Still very completely preserved to this day,
Until now, the people in the village have lived a very happy life.
From the perspective of this village, the previous people were also very wise,
They successfully protected their wealth through this plum blossom array,
And the days are getting better and better.
Finally the mystery of this mountain village was solved,
It turns out that there is such a magical place in our motherland.
I believe there are more magical and powerful things,
Because our country is a nation full of wisdom.
