After nearly five years, Ying Zhi visited the ancient village of Ma Ao for the second time.
Ningbo Ninghai County, Sangzhou Town, Maao Village, Jiugongge architectural complex "Chen Jia Santai" and Shizi Daodi, rare architectural artworks.
The ancient house is exquisitely carved, the courtyard is deep, there are many cultural monuments, and the story of time and shadow is remembered in every monument.
Ma'ao Village belongs to Sangzhou Town, Ninghai County, under the jurisdiction of Chenjia, Majia, Qiaotouwang, Xifeng Village four natural villages, located in three sides surrounded by mountains in the narrow mountains, because of the Ma surname concentration and named Ma'ao.
Ma Xiangsan, the ancestor of the Ma surname, moved here between 998 and 1003 AD during the Xianping period of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, that is, from Heng domain dai in Tiantai County, which has been moved here for more than a thousand years.
The ancient buildings of Ma Ao Village are mainly concentrated in Chen Jia Natural Village, and the JiugongGe Architectural Complex "Chen Jia Santai" is the most famous.
Chenjia Natural Village, the village is named after the Chen family.
The Chen family originated from the current watermill village of Yuelong Street, Ninghai County, and the waterwheel Chen family and the Fang Xiaoru family had an in-law relationship, and in order to avoid the disaster of Fang Xiaoru's "Zhulian Ten Tribes", the Chen family moved from the water wheel to the current Chen Family Village.
In 1392, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son, crown prince Zhu Biao, died of an accident, and Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunjiao was made the emperor's grandson, and the root of the imperial family was planted.
In 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness, and the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunjiao succeeded to the throne, the era name Jianwen, was for Emperor Jianwen, and many of the imperial uncles who were crowned kings were quite dissatisfied and divided one side.
In August 1399, Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Zhu Di, the King of Yan stationed in Beijing, launched a mutiny on the grounds that "the side of the Qing Emperor, the difficulty of jingguo", which is known in history as the "change of Jing difficulty".
On June 13, 1402, Zhu Di's army captured Nanjing, that is, the throne, for Ming Chengzu.
Zhu Di asked Fang Xiaoru to write an edict on the throne, but Fang Xiaoru refused to obey, threw his pen to the ground, wept and scolded: "Death is death, and the edict must not be grass." ”
Fang Xiaoru's toughness has brought the unprecedented disaster of the Zhulian Ten Tribes, since ancient times, there are only nine Zhulian Clans, which clan is the tenth clan: classmates and teachers.
Fang Xiaoru's hometown was above the creek of Dajia He Town in present-day Ninghai County, and more than 870 people were killed in the Fang family and in-laws, as well as classmates and teachers.
Fang Xiaoru's hometown village above the creek was burned to rubble in this bloody rain, and in the 1960s, the ruins were transformed into farmland.
In recent years, in the adjacent Xixiawang Village above the creek, some villagers have gradually crossed the Peach Blossom Creek and built new houses in the original village above the creek.
In the process of Fang Xiaoru's ten clans, only a small number of Fang family and in-laws escaped from refuge.
The Waterwheel Chen family and the Fang family have an in-law relationship, and it is in this context that they moved to the current Ma Ao Chen Family Natural Village for more than 600 years.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the Yongtaiwen Expressway passes through the west of the village, passes through the Ma'aoling Tunnel in the south of the village, and then travels south.
The ancient house group of Chen Family Village is composed of three rows of houses and nine courtyards, so it is called the Nine Palace Grid "Chen Family Three Terraces".
Chen Jia Santai was built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the scale gradually expanded, with high walls connecting each courtyard, exquisite carvings of ancient houses, and deep courtyards.
In the alleys and courtyards, the cobblestone paved stones are paved, and the pattern workmanship is very elaborate, a bucket of stones and a bucket of rice, which is not paved by ordinary people.
There are four household pairs above the lintel of each courtyard, arranged in a row, and a word is carved on each household pair, which has a deep meaning.
Nowadays, most people go to the empty house, and you can only imagine the bustle and rural sounds of the past.
The film "7 Guns", which was filmed in Ma'ao Village, is a digital film on the theme of war, directed by Yang Zhen and starring Zhang Zhengyong and Yang Zitong, and filmed in the spring of 2016.
On September 11, 2016, Yingzhi visited Ma Ao Village for the first time and met the blind musician Chen Zhentai in the village, who could not see anything, but could interpret the music very well.
"Erquan Yingyue", "Liang Zhu", song after song, can not see anything, there is no color in his world, no green mountains and rivers, no urban prosperity, and do not know what the people in front of him look like, but he interprets the song to a low and compassionate hundreds of turns.
Born in 1950, Chen Zhentai was blind at an early age, and in the dark world, he produced a variety of huqin instruments such as erhu, sanxin, dahu, and yuehu, and played a variety of repertoire.
Huqin became the dependence and sustenance of his life, whether there was an audience or not.
On March 13, 2021, Yingzhi visited Ma Ao Village again, and then entered the Chen Family Santai, and the old man Chen Zhentai's health deteriorated, and it was difficult to play erhu or huqin again.
The old house is still there, and there is no sound of the piano coming out.
