Just after the Spring Festival, usually a partner who climbs outdoors asks me to go out and around, and sent a destination play guide, when I open it to see, "Li Jia Yan" comes into view, to tell the truth, how to read the word "疃", I really can't be sure, check it, I know to read "tuǎn".
The village we went to visit is located in Wangcun Town, Zhoucun District, Zibo City, Shandong Province, and the village's rural memory museum introduces that the name of the village was given by Tang Taizong Li Shimin, according to which the village has a history of at least 1,000 years.
Lijiayan Village is a cultural heritage unit of the "Rural Memory Project" in Shandong Province, and has been listed as a "Traditional Chinese Village" by the relevant state departments. The village still preserves a relatively complete ming and qing dynasty ancient architectural community, after hundreds of years of vicissitudes, ancient buildings, ancient houses, ancient alleys, ancient wells, still accompany the people living here today.
Walking around the village, you can feel a sense of comfort and tranquility from the countryside. The current Village of Li jia Yan is bounded by north and south avenues, the new village is in the east, and the original appearance of the village is retained in the west.
Although the name of the village is taken from the surname Of Li, the surname of Wang is more famous in the village. Most of the ancient courtyards that people see in Lijiayan Village today were built by the ancestors of the Wang clan hundreds of years ago, and their descendants have lived here for generations. With the development of the times, some of the descendants of the Wang family have left the village, but there are still some people who have been guarding the old house.
With the improvement of people's living standards and the development of tourism, rural tourism has become the choice of many people, and these ancient architectural communities that have experienced the baptism of time for hundreds of years have attracted more and more people to explore with their unique charm.
In order to let people outside better visit and understand these old yards, old houses and old alleys that carry the traces of the lives of former villagers, Li Jia Yan Village has made great efforts. They built a village memory museum, hardened roads, and made guide signs, blending the old and the new, and although the whole village was renewed, there was not much sense of violation.
Walking slowly in the ancient village of Lijiayan Village, a series of winding alleys, a series of unique courtyards, a glance at the ancient wells, an old tree, triggering imagination and touching the beautiful.
Here, you can learn more about the Wang family and the history of each courtyard according to the guide signs, or you can ignore all the introduction materials and wander around the hutong, and the ancient village after renovation gives people a special intimate feeling.
As we passed in front of the gate of a quaint courtyard, a young man in the courtyard warmly greeted us into the house to have a look. This young man was born in Li Jia Yan Village, and this courtyard was handed down from his ancestors. He said that he liked ancient buildings and old objects since he was a child, and he also studied related majors in college, and after graduation, he did not stay in the city, but returned to the village and used his old yard to engage in some cultural and creative product development, antique trading and other work. He not only communicates with antiques and ancient architecture enthusiasts everywhere through the Internet, but also often has friends come to his old courtyard to discuss, and he is very satisfied with his current living conditions and feels very happy.
In another old courtyard, we met the owner of the old house, he was a middle-aged man, and when we walked into the yard, he was trimming the flowers and trees in the yard. He had moved elsewhere to live, but for the old yard and the old house, he couldn't give up from his heart and often came back to see. During the chat, he said that these old houses are more than three hundred years old, this is his ancestral house, this is his hometown, although he did not live here many years ago, he will still regularly repair the roof of the old house, although each repair is a big cost, but he does not want these old houses to be destroyed in the hands of his generation. His family's old courtyard and old house are free for people to visit, and he feels particularly happy to be able to bring enjoyment and happiness to others.
Yes, these old yards and old houses are a kind of thought, not to mention the people who once lived here, that is, we who were born in the countryside and later lived in the city, walked into Li Jia Yan Village, and also felt very kind, it awakened the rural memory in our hearts, is this a feeling that many people who like to play in the ancient village have?
