Nanxun, like its name, is low-key and restrained.
If you are not a frequent traveler or a person who pursues the mood, it is difficult to know that a corner of Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, hides such a quaint and primitive village as Nanxun.
Unlike most Jiangnan water towns, Nanxun has her unique temperament, no commercialization, no overdevelopment. The small bridge reflects the mottled ancient wall, which seems to be a little lonely.
In fact, her apparent loneliness is only synonymous with low-key, and Nanxun's wealth is unimaginable. The legend of the Hundred Houses is the best proof.
People who come to Nanxun will definitely go to see the hundred buildings.
A hundred buildings literally means a hundred buildings, but the story behind it is very interesting. Legend has it that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the two richest families in Nanxun married each other.
The man is the Dong family, and the woman is the Mao family.
The Dong family's status in the local area is noble, to what extent, just say one person and you will understand.
The Dong family produced a celebrity named Dong Fen, Dong Fen became a jinshi at the age of 26, and then rose all the way to the top because of his outstanding talent, became a Shangshu, and was also hand-picked by the emperor as a Hanlin bachelor.
It can be seen that the status of the Dong family is noble, and ordinary people cannot climb it.
But this is not the climax, what is even more amazing is that Dong Fen was approved by the emperor to ride into the palace. What does this mean? Ordinary people enter the palace to see the emperor on foot, and Dong Fen can not walk, he can ride a horse and sit in a car.
Of course, it is obvious that the emperor is very gracious to the Dong family.
Speaking of the marriage between the two families, it is Dong Fen's fifth grandson who wants to become a relative.
In the past, people paid the most attention to the door-to-door pair, and the rich nobles like Dong Fen could not climb high. However, the Mao family was not only high-flying, but also a little hesitant, daring to question the strength of Lord Shangshu, and the Mao family was not an ordinary family.
What are they hesitating about?
He hesitated when his daughter got married and had no place to live.
But this can not be said directly, the Nanxun family is more subtle, and the communication marriage is also the same point.
So the Mao family said through the mouth of the matchmaker, saying that our Mao family daughter was spoiled and raised at home since she was a child, and there were more servants and servants, about a hundred people, and when the time came, they would all marry the young lady.
The focus of other people's marriages is on how much the bride price and how many cars the dowry is, and the marriage opening of Miss Mao's family is to accompany a hundred servants. The dowry's gold and silver treasure is even more important.
Otherwise, it would not have made today's good story.
Communication between smart people is never troublesome, and the meaning of the Dong family's obedience is immediately clear.
Then he summoned skilled craftsmen to build houses and build a hundred houses, not only to repair them beautifully, but also to have charm and connotation, and not to lose the identity of the Dong family.
In addition to the identity of the Dong family, the identity of the Dong family is also exquisite, and the descendants of the Dong family have always taken kindness and low-key as the principle of handling things. If you build a lot of civil engineering because you are married, if you don't pay attention, it will definitely have an impact on your neighbors.
In order not to affect the surrounding area, the Dong family spent a lot of effort on the design of the house, and those who could occupy less land occupied the ground, and those who could move into the air moved to the air.
Therefore, by the time Miss Mao married in, a hundred houses had long been repaired and built according to the water. Knocking far away, the room that extends into the air is like a castle in the sky.
This is the legend of the Hundred Rooms Building, which is dignified and honorable, and even more silently shows the luxury and wisdom of the Dong family.
The wisdom of the Nanxun people's handling of things, the hundred buildings are only the tip of the iceberg. Nanxun people Nanxun's scenery is all the avenue to Jane, without too many words but to give you enough good feelings, rich and safe.
She has not only the babbling river, but also the bluestone paved ground, and the white-walled Dewa that has traveled through hundreds of years of history. Just walking through her street, you can feel an invisible healing from life itself, quiet and gentle.
