The shape of this village is really interesting. Looking down from a high place, you can see that the village is as round as a millstone, with white-walled and black-tiled Anhui-style buildings dotted throughout. The houses of different heights are scattered like plum blossoms. Not only does it not feel chaotic, but it has a sense of place. A unique beauty that is different from other villages.
The outside of the village is surrounded by a stream, and outside it is a circle of good asphalt roads. The roads in Wuyuan are pretty good. From the city to these small towns and villages, there are basically asphalt roads or cement roads.
If anyone comes here and walks on a dirt road, a dirt road, or a small road, he must consider in advance whether he has taken the wrong path like Chen Xing, but it is not a mistake. He has come here anyway.
"Who built this?" he was curious. Why does a village have such a round shape, Feng Shui?
When Chen Xing walked to the village, he realized that it was not a circle surrounded by water, but only the side that Chen Xing was facing before was round. It could be seen from another angle that the back of the circle was connected to It's a mountain.
That's right, if this village only has this part in the middle of the circle, then there will be too few people living here.
"Of course it was built by our ancestors," said the old man in front of Chen Xing. When Chen Xing saw him before, he was still weeding in the fields outside, and then he and Chen Xing walked into the village one after another. When he heard Chen Xing's question, he subconsciously spoke to him.
People living here are used to seeing tourists from outside, so they don't have the same xenophobic ideas as other more closed villages.
In fact, Chen Xing was just talking to himself. However, he just happened to ask: "Uncle, what's the meaning of practicing this way?" If the stream can flow so round naturally, it would be very strange, so both this village and the water are all artificially constructed. , now it just depends on the age of its construction and what its significance is.
"It means Feng Shui, right?" the old man said, pointing to the village.
“The mountains behind our village not only allow us to hide the wind and collect the energy, but also gather the precious energy here.
The meaning of "having a backer behind you" can gather blessings and extend them to future generations. Facing water in front, that is
"There is water in front of the hall." Feng Shui emphasizes that it is better to have water in front of the hall. Water represents wealth. Our ancestors probably hope that we can get rich. Haha, I just said this casually, and it is not a feudal superstition. "Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.
The Chinese people are very intelligent, and sometimes there are many things that cannot be explained by science. Just like Chinese medicine, you may say it is unscientific, but it can cure diseases, and in many difficult diseases, Chinese medicine is more effective than Western medicine.
Isn’t medicine all about efficacy? Therefore, even if Feng Shui is sometimes unscientific, it may have its own set of theories just like Chinese medicine.
"Does the old man understand this?"
"I don't understand, I don't understand. It's what the elders said, so I listened and wrote it down, and listened to it as a story." At this time, the two of them also walked along the bridge to the village. Chen Xing saw a hotel and parted ways with the old man.
I was delayed a little on the road today and came here a little late. But you still have to take pictures.
Because the architectural pattern here is so unique. After putting the things away, Chen Xing went out with two lenses and walked towards the mountain where he came from. He had found a good composition before, so he just waited for the sun to set and used the sunset to realize his idea.
As he was walking out, Chen Xing saw a plaque on the road. There are many plaques in ancient villages and towns in the south, some old and new, but the one Chen Xing saw now is different. On the plaque are the words "loyalty and unswerving". Judging from the quality of the plaque, it must be something from hundreds of years ago.
There is also a wooden plaque larger than him, estimated to weigh more than a hundred kilograms, which reads Huangge Diaoyuan. Huangge Tiaoyuan is not a simple brand.
Chen Xing saw many brands in Chenjia Village before, including the number one scholar and the sixth Jinshi... These all represent the Chen family's prominent family style and literary character for thousands of years, while Huangge Tiaoyuan is an official. It can only be obtained after becoming the prime minister, which means ascending to the position of prime minister and taking over the power of the world.
This kind of thing is usually not written by oneself, but given by the emperor. If you dare to do this kind of thing, don't you want to live?
Chen Xing saw that the surrounding houses had installed surveillance cameras to keep an eye on the place. There were people blocking the entrance of the ancestral hall to prevent tourists from approaching, but there was still no problem taking photos. Some people were even broadcasting live at the entrance.
He also looked closer. Sure enough, I saw the introduction at the door on the left side of the ancestral hall. Both of these plaques are related to a man named He Rushhong in the late Ming Dynasty, and the plaques were also given to him by Emperor Chongzhen.
Although that era may not have been very good, it was not easy to achieve the position of prime minister. Another family that has been around for hundreds of years.
Amazing. No wonder it was said in the past that clans were prevalent in the south, and people in other areas were more particular about family and returning to the clan after falling leaves.
Chen Xing didn't understand it very well before, but now he understands it when he sees the situation in these villages. After finding an angle to take two photos, Chen Xing continued walking outside the village.
You can see the situation in the village at night, but the sunset only happens once a day. If you miss it, you won’t know what the weather will be like tomorrow.
This time in the town happened to be the rush hour for getting off work, and the roads were usually blocked, but there was no sound of horns in the village... He was thinking about living in the village again.
But it seems difficult to buy land now. Arriving at the spot he had found before, Chen Xing set up his camera on a tripod, then sat down on a rock.
Wait, now. After checking the time, it was already past five o'clock. Chen Xing was now waiting for the sunset to enter the position in his viewfinder.
He is now using a symmetrical composition. There are mountain peaks on the left and right of the viewfinder, making the flat land in the middle become a U shape. This is a natural symmetrical composition.
Then there is a circular village in the middle. You can't see the back of the village, you can only see the circle. The stream slightly reflected the village, but not completely.
It can only be the. Sometimes it's impossible to achieve a perfect composition, because you can't dig up the mountain to put the camera in, nor can you enlarge the stream to show the complete reflection of the village.
What the photographer can do is to find the right angle as much as possible. But this is beautiful enough. Generally speaking, this kind of terrain would be foggy, but there was no fog today. The sky above the village was particularly blue, and the clouds were very large. Chen Xing even wanted to go out at night and take some more starry shots.
You can imagine what a night-time time-lapse would look like if shot from the same angle now. The mountains, villages, and water will definitely not change. Only the sky will change. The stars in the dark sky are constantly rotating, like a moving curtain on the stage.
After drinking a little drink, I looked at the sun that had not yet set in the distance. Anyway, let’s take a picture of the current scene first and then talk about it.
There were also tourists looking for angles around. When they saw Chen Xing here, they smiled at Chen Xing and looked at Chen Xing's camera viewfinder.
"Hey! Your angle is fine." He quickly took out his camera and took a look, but he couldn't take a picture of the mountains on both sides. He could only see the edges of the village on both sides of the viewfinder, and at most a little bit of the river.
The tourist looked at the picture in Chen Xing's camera in surprise and asked, "What is the focal length of your lens?"
"21." Chen Xing said.
"Is 21 that big?" He studied it again and suddenly saw Hasseld on the camera.
This - well, this is the difference between a medium format camera and a full frame camera. He used a Nikon 24-70 lens, but the picture looked twice as small as Chen Xing’s. Sure enough, you get what you pay for.
Chen Xing pointed to the road in the distance and said: "You can take pictures of the village by the river. The reflection and the sunset are also very beautiful. I think you can try it. But you have to hurry up. The shooting time by the river is longer than here. It's better to go up the mountain early." He looked at the equipment Chen Xing brought, nodded and said, "I listen to you." The young mage had to listen to the old mage more, and Chen Xing looked like he was young but this The equipment is absolutely professional.
The sun seems to be setting faster and faster. Einstein's theory of relativity was so well put forward that when we were waiting for the sun to set, everyone felt that time passed so slowly.
But when the sky began to turn red and the sun set, all the photographers here who took pictures of the sunset felt that time passed too fast.
Chen Xing accepted this point, and he wouldn't move anyway. There are at least seven or eight photographers on the mountain at this moment. Apart from Chen Xing, there are two people who haven't moved. They probably have found their most satisfactory angle and are waiting to get into the position of their own composition.
But everyone else is running around hoping to win by volume. It's past six o'clock. The sun has also reached the middle position of Chen Xing's viewfinder. Now everything in the picture is symmetrical. There are symmetrical halves to the left and right of the middle line.
There are villages and mountains in the stream, and the left and right sides are also symmetrical. The sun was directly above, and the red color smeared the entire sky.
The sunset is really beautiful. Chen Xing's stomach growled, and he took another photo he liked, so he put away the camera and walked towards the village. As soon as he left, someone came to his place to look for a composition. He saw the symmetrical houses and the top position. The sunset and those clouds nodded with satisfaction.
Sure enough, you can always find some fun in taking photos by looking at other people’s composition points. There are fewer tourists in this village than the previous one, but you can occasionally encounter them on the road. The village also has the most indispensable commercial street in the ancient town.
After all, these villages don’t charge entrance fees, so they only earn this little money. Chen Xing found a noodle restaurant to eat.
He quite likes eating rice noodles here. The rice noodles in Jiangxi are different from those in Sichuan and Guangxi, but they still taste very good and are very spicy.
If you ask for Jiangxi rice noodles to be spicier, they will really put the chili pepper in the bowl as if it is free.
This is the store. Chen Xing ordered a bowl of extra spicy rice noodles... It's not that he has become particularly spicy, but this store only has mildly spicy, extra spicy, and abnormally spicy.
Chen Xing felt that the slightly spicy version might be a little inappropriate. If it was abnormally spicy, Chen Xing thought about the taste of Jiangxi people and felt that he might not be able to handle it, so he ordered extra spicy.
When the dish arrived, there was a whole bowl of fresh red chili peppers. Fresh chili peppers are generally the spiciest, but also the freshest. He knew that underneath the chili peppers was rice noodles.
Instead of eating the kuaizi directly, Chen Xing took out his mobile phone and took a photo and posted it in his circle of friends, saying: "Jiangxi's special dish, cold fresh chili peppers. As the old rule, friends eat first!" Then Chen Xing picked up the kuaizi. The child began to sneer.
It’s best not to add too much spicy food when eating noodles. Too much chili pepper will affect the taste of the noodles, but it’s different with noodles. Even if you add twice as much chili pepper, it won’t affect the taste of the noodles. It will just taste like Deliciously spicy.
There are more and more messages in the circle of friends. Song Shulan:\/I’m so horny and want to eat. I can come to you wherever you are.
Zhou Peng: I am moving bricks at the construction site, and you are traveling and enjoying spicy food. We are both bosses. Why can you live so well?
What are you eating? Send it to me quickly. @ Song Shulan, what are you doing with him? Come to me, your brother and I will take you to eat hot pot.
Chen Xing rolled his eyes at Zhou Peng. Song Shulan does have time now, she has taken a vacation. For Principal Zhang, this year's girls' high school was still completely wiped out, but this 'annihilation' refers to the fact that no one went to Qingbei, but there were many people in the previous school. Song Shulan often hid and secretly played with her mobile phone, but when she arrived In the end, after a brief period of surprise, I still picked up a book.
Sichuan Normal University, Longquan Campus. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. No matter, let’s eat first. I thought about shooting time-lapse before, so I won’t sleep tonight. I can sleep for two hours during the day tomorrow.
After finishing the meal, Chen Xing bought a bottle of yogurt from the canteen on the road and drank it while walking to the hotel where he was staying, his expression as usual.
He adapts very quickly to food from all over the world, even when he goes to Africa. Having just arrived in Jiangxi, Chen Xing feels that he can adapt to this kind of spicy food, and he can consider the effects of abnormal spicy food when eating in the future.
I went back to the room and took some thick clothes and two batteries from my backpack. That is to say, he doesn't have a tent, otherwise he would have to take one out, so he can rest and take pictures of the stars at night.
As soon as I walked out of the hotel with these things, it started to rain outside. The owner of the hotel was quite happy. Seeing that Chen Xing was about to go out, he reminded him: "Are you going out? There is a red warning for heavy rain tonight. I think you should stay in the room."
"Is there going to be a heavy rain tonight?" The boss nodded and said, "Well, it hasn't rained here for a long time. I heard that Poyang Lake has dried up this year. I guess it won't be able to withstand it unless it rains. I don't know what will happen next. Like. By the way, where are you going? If you want to buy something, we also have some snacks in the store, and there is a barbecue opposite."
"No need." Chen Xing was a little disappointed that he couldn't take pictures of the stars anymore. He still wanted to use his knowledge as an astronomer.
Other photographers had to rely on star maps if they wanted to take pictures of the starry sky, but he could just look up at the sky and figure out which stars were at which positions and what direction the starry sky would be tonight.
pity. Not long after returning to the room, it started raining heavily. The thunder was rumbling and the wind was strong. Even the villages in this mountain valley could feel the ruthlessness of the wind. The billboard outside the hotel was blown away in Chen Xing's eyes. Then he didn't know where the flower pot was or what it was. The tiles fell to the ground with a clang.
There is a saying circulating in China that after a severe drought there will be a flood. Disasters never come alone, but come one after another.
For example, this year's weather, if it were placed in ancient times, would definitely be another disaster that could be recorded in history books. How would they write it?
In August 2022, there will be floods after a severe drought in the south for three months. Will the victims be ignored?
