Speaking of the Eryilou this thing I'm afraid many people have not heard of, I started to see the name of the time is also felt very strange, but a look at the appearance of the know, it is estimated that many people are the same as the editor of the same feeling, the following small bureau to talk to you about the Eryilou is not good to play.
Er Yilou whereEr Yilou is located in Hua'an County, Xiantu Town, Dadi Village.
It is the outstanding representative of China's round earth building ancient dwellings, known as the "king of the earth building", "the treasure of the country" reputation, it is a grand scale, scientific design, layout, well-preserved well-known, for the national key cultural relics protection units. The "two Yi building" floor plaque has been included in the "Chinese plaque" book.
I was last year's National Day when I came here, can have the honor to leave footprints here, but also really want to thank a person, that is, my good friend Ms. Tian Tian. Because she brought me here, otherwise I would have stayed at home that day and slept until dark, and I would not have known when I could set foot on this heavy land.
When we arrived at about 4pm, we spent about half an hour outside the Tulou building before going in, so the sun was about to set when we took these two photos.
There is a plaza outside the Eryilou, about a hundred meters from its main entrance, constructed entirely of solid wood but partly raised above the water. At night it would be filled with people, some tourists, but more often the descendants of the Jiang family who had lived here for a long time. At one end of the square there is a large projector light that illuminates the entire Eryilou at night and shows a movie about the history of the building. But since it is a square, it is certainly not without the square dance sweeping the country, but this side of the accompanying music played neither the Phoenix Legend nor cilicili, but I do not understand, but people can not help but follow the jumping of the Minnan language. Looking at the crowd of smiling grandparents and children running around with small glow sticks, I was suddenly reminded of Mr. Ouyang Xiu's phrase "after dusk".
The Eryi Building was built in the Qing Dynasty in Qianlong five years (1740), for the "township drink Dabin" Jiang's fourteenth Jiang Shi Xiong built, covers an area of 9,300 square meters, sitting in the southeast towards the north-west, the outer ring of four floors, a height of 16 meters, the outer wall is 2.53 meters thick, with an external diameter of 73.4 meters. The whole building is a double-ringed circular earth building, divided into 16 units, **** there are 213 rooms. There are two wells in the open space of the building, named "Yinquan" and "Yangquan", forming a Taiji formation.
When we were about to enter the Eryi building to visit, suddenly ran over a group of grandmothers and aunts, at first a little afraid, because it is not clear what is the case, for fear that it is a taboo, in addition, we are not very able to understand the Minnan language. Until after a while to realize that the original is to compete to give us a tour guide, and finally we chose a from the beginning of the car with us for a period of time aunty.
Standing in the center of the Tulou, recalling the aunt's earlier introduction, I found that inside and outside have a Qiankun, and indeed the world is clear all learning. Auntie said standing in my place, clap your hands, the whole building can be heard, here before are the patriarch shouting place. There is a Chinese zodiac sign on the eaves of the door of each room, arranged in the order of the twelve zodiac signs. Since Auntie's family was in fifth place, we went in through the room with the dragon on the eaves, the wooden stairs looked old and would creak when stepping on them, but they were still sturdy. When we reached the second floor, we found that each household was separated by a stone wall and not connected, but each had a hall bedroom as well as a kitchen, and the layout was the same size. The third floor and the second floor of the structure is similar, although it is separated, but there will be a "zigzag" shaped sound transmission holes to section through. And also have a secret door for emergencies, but this aunt did not take us to see. On the fourth floor, you will find an ancestral hall for worship, in the middle of the ancestral tablets, on both sides of the master's chair is also placed on the official clothes, but the aunt said Mr. Jiang did not do official work during his lifetime, so it just looks like but not official clothes, and the real official clothes or there is a difference, the specific difference where the aunt also said, but I can not remember. Out of the ancestral hall, there is a corridor around the entire Eryi building, and the corridor are covered with glass tiles, listening to the aunt said that this is the government in order to protect the heritage and deliberately added to the. Every few steps there would be windows and bullet holes, and the windows would be designed to be offset upwards a bit, so that you could only see the outside from the inside, while the outside could not discover a single thing about the inside. When we walked to the main entrance, Auntie asked us to look out of the window and then explained that Eryi House was a feng shui treasure, the mountains in front of it were staggered to represent that all the families were observing the rules, the lushness of the trees and bamboo forests represented that the people were thriving and talented, and that the stream in front of it only flowed in but not out, representing that it only brought in wealth but not out. After seeing this, we went downstairs, thinking that if we hadn't had such an aunt, we would have gone in like monks in two feet - puzzled.
Since it has been half a year since then, and I have no ink on my chest, I can only rely on my starry-eyed memories to describe it.
From the Eryi building out, the sky is also dark, the stomach is also all a little hungry. Then the aunt took us to her home to eat, vegetables from their own door in front of the vegetable field now pick, chickens and ducks are also their own home raised, the price is quite affordable, should be considered so far in the tourist attractions next to the most enjoyable time to eat. After dinner, the aunt let us to her home a little rest, and then introduced us to their own tobacco, wine and tea, I tried each one, I feel pretty good, so I brought some ready to go back to give friends, and then found that the degree of praise is quite high.
Some of my friends have traveled here and the response has been very good. I analyzed the reason, may be because here and those as the day of the attractions compared to a lot less commercial atmosphere, next to the local people are born and bred and are older, compared to other places have a lot of human feelings, and the township government is also strong support for the development of tourism and provide a lot of subsidies, which is also a lot less utilitarian. So I personally think it's still worth a trip.
