Hongcun has beautiful scenery and beautiful ecology. The ancient village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, hidden in green mountains and green waters, and has the characteristics of a paradise. Along the stone road by the river, cross the "Peiyuan Bridge" and feel the beautiful scenery of the "Half Moon River and Half Moon Village". There are many ancient trees in the village, among which there is a ginkgo tree 1000 years old at the head of the village, which was planted by Hongcun's ancestors. It not only witnessed Hongcun's thousand-year history, but also is still full of fruits. Other rare tree species in the village, such as ancient yew and ancient camphor tree, can be seen everywhere.
Hongcun has a rich cultural heritage and well-preserved historical sites. There are Guangyu Hall built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Doctor Feng Zhi's Aiting Temple built in the Qing Dynasty, and Hui-style houses such as Dafu, Sino-Han, Dunsutang, Jishantang and Shantang. Looking at the whole building complex, it is magnificent, exquisite and spectacular, and the whole village is integrated with the natural landscape, which is really a harmonious situation of harmony between man and nature. In-depth, I feel that I have entered the palace of art. Its three carvings (brick carving, stone carving and wood carving) are beautifully carved, and the cornices of the gatehouse are upturned, especially represented by the Yutang of Hongshi Ancestral Hall and the Aiting Public Temple of Doctor Shih, which means that the atmosphere is unique, elegant and magnificent. There are two stone tablets at the entrance of the village during the Jiaqing period, one is "longevity and health preservation" and the other is "forever forbidden". Next to Hongcun Ancestral Temple, there is still a "tea rule for deliberation" set up during Daoguang period, which embodies the business principle of Hongcun people's "fairness and integrity".
Hongcun is the most legendary "landscape" in the world, where there are many long-lived old people. Zhong Ling here is very beautiful, with simple folk customs. Good local customs and special food and cultural atmosphere nourish people here, so most people living here are healthy and long-lived. It is not unusual for people to live to be 80 or 90 years old here. In history, people lived to 1 19 years old. On the gate of the village entrance, the four-character stone tablet of "Longevity Guli" written by Jiaqing Yu is still preserved.
In recent years, Hongcun, an ancient and beautiful city, has been awarded the titles of "Chinese Folk Culture Village", "Famous Village for Historical and Cultural Protection", "Longevity Guli-Hongcun Scenic Area", "Wuyuan Spring Ancestral Temple", "Provincial Popular Science Demonstration Village" and "Hongqi Party Branch" for its original ecological landscape and culture. Through several years of efforts, Hongcun's tourism popularity has been rising, and its good reputation has attracted a large number of tourists. Among them, Chow Yun Fat, the Hong Kong "film emperor", visited twice. He praised the natural landscape, human landscape and food culture here, and sincerely expressed his willingness to be a "Hongcun person" and envied the villagers living here.
