Jinyun Heyang Ancient House in Lishui, Southern Zhejiang Province, can be said to be an ancient village where I have been to so many ancient villages with the least commercial atmosphere and few tourists, but you have to think that he is not famous, it is wrong! This is one of the top ten "thousand-year-old villages" in Zhejiang Province, and it is also the largest living ancient village in Jiangnan, with the longest history and the deepest clan culture.
"Eight hundred smoke stoves, three thousand population". In the ancient village of Heyang, the Zhu clan, which has a prosperous history of thousands of years, can be said to be quite a famous and prestigious family. In 895, the brothers Zhu Qingyuan, the former secretary of the Wuyue State, settled in Jinyun to avoid the rebellion of the Five Seasons, and because of their original origin in Xinyang, Henan, they took the name of "Heyang", which has been handed down for 1100 years.
What is more rare is that it still retains the pattern of "one stream, two pits, one street and five alleys" in the Yuan Dynasty, with 15 existing ancient ancestral halls and more than 1,500 traditional ancient houses in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which can be called the "Manchu han full seat" of Ming and Qing architecture.

Ancestral halls are ancient temples dedicated to and sacrificed ancestors, the so-called family temple. Generally, the place is a surname and an ancestral hall, while Heyang has 15 ancestral halls, which is a typical one surname and multiple ancestral halls. Most of these large and small ancestral hall buildings are a clever fusion of Suzhou gardening techniques and Huipai architectural set design. The majestic and unique Suzhou-style ancestral hall Virtual Bamboo Ancestral Hall can be said to be the façade of entering the ancient village.
The Temple is a two-entry courtyard with three wide entrance halls and six rooms on each side. There is a patio on each side of the main bed, with a pond inside, and the layout is neat and rigorous.
The Temple is not only highly skilled in architecture, but also the wood carvings and brick carvings in the temple are particularly exquisite. One of the most dazzling is the art of wood carving, wood carving mainly appears in beams and pillars, etc., including Xiangrui's animal images, human figures, plant images and folk tales, with strict structure, exquisite details and rich sense of layering.
There are also filial piety temples, Wenhan ancestral halls, Gui'er ancestral halls... All are beautifully built. Paintings, calligraphy and stone carvings on the house can be seen everywhere in the ancestral hall, which are exquisitely carved and clear and complete. To say that Heyang as an original thousand-year-old living fossil ancient village what is rare, these large feng shui layout, house layout, small lintel ox leg ornaments purse, each of the objects handed down are hidden in the thousand years of Heyang fascinating secrets.

Heyang is not a large place, the population is not large, but the family style and family training are very good, talented, one door out of eight soldiers. This Eight Shi Men, which was specially built to commemorate, is also the pride and spiritual pillar of the Heyang people, and there are no sayings that they do not enter the Eight Shi Men and are not Heyang people, and even marriage must go through the Eight Shi Men.
A pair of monsters in front of the door: the mouth of a toad, the legs of a frog, the body of a lion, called Rare. This special shape of the door was also given by Zhu Yuanzhang, expressing the rarity of the emperor who heard that there were so many jinshi here. This pair has a history of more than 600 years, and today nearby students still have the custom of touching it and praying for the title of the gold list.
The Heyang Ancient Street inside the Bashimen Not only exists as a commercial street, but also a place to encourage future generations to study diligently, inherit the cultural context and set up a "long corridor banquet". Every year in The Spring of March, the clans set up a banquet on Bashi Street, called "Zhuangyuan Feast", until now, although the Zhuangyuan feast is not examined, but the custom of the long corridor banquet is still retained.
The whole ancient street looks not long, only 150 meters, but it is the central axis of the ancient village, and there are five horizontal alleys on the left and right to intersect with it, from west to east, they are Bashi Road, Guantang Lane, Sanchao Lane, Luting Lane, Tongchun Lane, Andyu Road, gathering four ancient building complexes, six Zhu Ancestral Halls, and thirty-two ancient storefronts. Among them, there is a special "Three Dynasties Lane", and the buildings on both sides were built in the three periods of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, with different styles.
The same gray architectural complex, elegant, quaint, subtle but not losing style, strolling in such alleys and streets, a leisurely time, the feeling of quiet years is born.
From the outside to see the small green tiles, horse head wall, white powder wall, casually into a platform gate, is a Jiangnan style courtyard, the eaves of the corridor in all directions, but also hung palace lights, pasted with red couplets, there is a clean, festive scene, the old people sit quietly on the porch, no matter how time changes, they are waiting in this small world of home.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > six all look at the horse's head wall</h1>
I think that the most distinctive building of the outer wall of the ancient residence in Heyang is that on the Daqiao Road, there are 32 horse heads with different shapes and shapes, which are very spectacular, also called the horse head wall group.
Heyang's horse head wall can be said to be Jinyun's second golden business card, these undulating irregular "horse heads" stretch for 90 meters, looking like 32 horses roaring in the sky, extraordinary momentum, exquisite, set the essence of heyang ancient residential façade architecture.
The wall here is very rich, the three large ones are "feng shui walls", the front head is to the left is the "gable wall", the two ends of the door are cocked up is the "door top wall", the front is the "wall", the wall is the "eaves wall", and there is also the "illuminated wall" on the edge of the pond, which is a wall museum.
The wall is the pond, the sun sprinkles on the surface of the water at dusk, dyeing everything around it with golden light, the air is full of golden laurel fragrance, the grandmother is pushed out to bask in the sun by the pond, the sisters-in-law take advantage of the good sunshine to dry the grain in autumn, the cats lie lazily and comfortably on the stone chairs, and from time to time there are little sisters passing by to tease...
Taking advantage of this ancient village, you can also rent a set of cheongsam to take pictures and capture good times.
I think the most rare thing about the ancient houses in Heyang is that there is a simple life of "dogs barking in deep alleys, chickens singing mulberry trees", but it is almost not stained by commerce, and the shops on the ancient street on weekdays do not even open their doors. Small bridges flowing water, ancient village people's homes, cooking smoke, chickens and dogs smelling each other, quiet and indifferent, Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source is just like this.
