Nian Ba Du, a dream staying deep in the mountains.

Nian Ba Du, a dream staying deep in the mountains.

More than a thousand years of history and culture, architectural styles of five schools, 13 dialects in different regions, 142 different surnames. ...

Located in the depths of the mountains at the junction of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, Nianbadu is a thousand-year-old town with various cultures. With a long history and special geography, immigrant cultures from all over the country meet, merge and develop here, forming a unique natural and human landscape. Scholars call it a "cultural enclave", but for me, it has become a dream in my heart.

Five years ago, I had a dream trip.

Eight degrees, rising in the army.

The key to Fujian's seven provinces is the barrier between Gong and Zhejiang.

1 100 years ago, Huang Chao, the leader of the rebel army, went south and opened up the Xianxia ancient road in the mountains between Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Since then, the surrounding passes have been erected one after another, and wars have continued to break out. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, Nian Ba Capital has become a place where the military stationed troops and camped in the past dynasties, and it is a battleground for military strategists.

In 2008, the capital was prosperous in commerce and trade.

In later generations, wars gradually decreased, and the initial military function of Year Eight gradually declined. By the Qing Dynasty, this military strategic place gradually became a commercial artery. Merchant ships sailing back to Qiantang carried cloth and department stores in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, arrived at Jiangshan clear lake Wharf, and then turned to land, where they were carried by pole bearers to Fujian and Jiangxi. Native products brought from Fujian and Jiangxi also have to be loaded at clear lake Wharf through porters' poles and transported to Jinqu, Hanghu and other places.

As the first stop of goods transit in the past, the capital in 2008 quickly became the most prosperous commercial port in the three northeastern provinces.

In the heyday of Nianbadu, there were many shops, restaurants and inns, and the cobblestone streets were crowded. Businessmen who carry loads every day and stay overnight have been bustling and prosperous for hundreds of years.

Language kingdom. Hometown of surnames

Nianbadu used to be a trade post and a place where soldiers of past dynasties camped. Wandering refugees, retired officers and soldiers, foreign businessmen and handymen have settled here one after another, forming the intersection and integration of multiple surnames and dialects, forming a folk custom of blending North and South. Up to now, there are 142 surnames and 13 local dialects among more than 800 households and more than 4,000 residents in the township.

One foot across three provinces, different customs in the same town.

After hundreds of years of mutual absorption and sublation, nianbadu has formed a unique multi-culture. The same weddings and funerals have different forms of expression in different ethnic groups in ancient towns. Some girls, when they get married, want to hang a pig's leg on the man at the door and insert a knife symbolizing marriage, such as constantly cutting meat. ...

In addition, folk songs, paper-cuts, puppets, stilts, yangko, dragon lanterns, lion dances, dry boats and other traditional cultures are also very popular in the ancient town.

Ancient buildings in Huizhou, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Europe

Li Xun Street is an ancient street which is mainly residential. Taking it as the main line, the streets paved with bluestone are winding, including the Agricultural Expo Hall, Beibao Gate, Martial Arts Hall Gate, Guanyin Pavilion, Wenchang Palace, foreign goods store and Qianzhuang Temple. , and the old homes of famous families such as Jiang, Yang, Cao and Jin. High walls, gatehouses, murals, pavilions, white walls and tiles, cornices and arches are like a large-scale Ming and Qing architectural museum.

Fengxi Street, built along the river, is a commercial street with shops as the main body. There are dazzling traditional handicrafts along the Forbidden City, such as sculptures, murals, lattice windows, gold wire winding, paper cutting, snuff and so on. , has a profound traditional cultural heritage.

Stroll through the ancient town, touch the Fanghua precipitated by history, and feel its uniqueness everywhere. There is both the simplicity and comfort of "a small bridge with flowing water" and the majestic momentum of Jinge Iron Horse. Perhaps the combination of the two gives the town a unique charm.

Under the impact of today's commodity economy tide, the town has not gone with the flow like many ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but maintained its lightness and tranquility. Simple and natural, endless.
