The most peculiar ancient mountain village in China

Daxie Village in Yuxian County, Shanxi Province is an ancient and quiet village. [White] The architectural pattern of Daxie Village is very strange. The whole village was built on a huge stone hillside. From a distance, the stilts with Jiangnan style are hung layer by layer, much like the classic southern mountain village. It was dubbed by the locals as "Potala Palace deep in the mountains of Yuxian County". Most of these ancient houses built by mountains are made of mixed materials of yellow mud and stones, and some are two-story buildings. They are economical, warm in winter and cool in summer, and beautiful in appearance. Every household is connected by winding paths with different shades.

The "three-dimensional blending" local architecture completely retains the ancient local traditions and folk customs, and embodies the perfect harmony between man and nature, man and mountain. At present, almost all the permanent residents in the village are old people. They are filled with a calm, self-sufficient and happy look, giving people a good impression of simplicity, leisure and indisputable. More than 50 small courtyards in the village are located on a whole boulder cliff, and more than 500 houses in the village are built on the mountain. Walking in this ancient village, you will feel that the buildings here have a strong Jiangnan charm.

According to legend, the founder of Daxie Village is a southerner. At present, all the residents of Daxie Village are surnamed Han. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Han's ancestors immigrated to Shahutan village not far from Daxie, and then moved to Daxie. It has been nearly 400 years. But Daxie had built this village before their ancestors arrived.

Han's ancestors learned about it from a brick carving unearthed in a grave in the village. The first person who built Daxie Village was Ma, a court minister and a southerner. Seven stone buddhas were found in a cave in Daxie Village, and they are still preserved in Daxie Village. The words carved on the back of the largest stone Buddha are still legible today. According to stone carvings, Daxie Village has a history of 1400 years.

The houses here have unique charm, the gurgling springs are warm and beautiful, and the wonders are all over the village. Walking into this big cave, you seem to have come to a paradise. There are more than ten floors in the village, which are dense and dense, with a drop of 100 meters. Hundreds of bungalows and caves with similar styles but completely different styles have been built according to the mountain situation. They are patchwork, dense, patchwork and row upon row. From a distance, their situation is very similar to the Potala Palace in Tibet, so they are affectionately called "small in the mountains" by photographers and donkey friends all over the country.

Standing at the entrance of the village, you can see all the houses at a glance. There are about 500 buildings, caves and bungalows. Most of the walls are paved with smooth stones, and most of the buildings are two-story and three-story buildings. The whole body is supported by wood, with loess and stones filled in the wall and blue tiles on the top. The front eaves are beautifully carved wooden doors with different shapes. All the roads in the village are paved with stone slabs or stones, and many steps were carved on the rocks by our ancestors.

This peculiar pavilion-style residential building truly retains the unique local ancient traditions and folk customs. Daxie village is a typical old village in Yuxian, where you can eat authentic Yuxian farmhouse meals and special snacks, such as red silk rice, jade noodles, buckets and so on. And 20 yuan can eat well and be full.

At present, there are only 17 people living in the village, the oldest is 86 years old and the youngest is 50 years old. The old people who live here are filled with a calm, self-sufficient and happy look every day, giving people a good impression of simplicity, leisure and contentment. Walking in the village, I met some old people who lived here. Most of them are over 65 years old, and the oldest is over 80 years old, but they are still healthy, and some are still doing farm work and housework. Han Shuangniu, 78, and his wife Liu Qiaoxiu, 75, run a farmhouse inn together. He said, "As long as I can take care of myself, I will be satisfied."

In the old and shabby village, time stands still. The same is true of 17 villagers living here, two cats, a dog, more than 30 chickens and more than 70 sheep. He charged tourists a night's accommodation in 20 yuan and a meal in 5 yuan, all made by his wife, mainly pumpkins, millet gruel, potatoes, radishes and handmade noodles. His wife, Liu Qiaoxiu, said with a strong accent, "I grow my own vegetables and rice without using any pesticides and fertilizers. I am very happy to see that people in the city like our cooking so much. "

17 among the villagers, the oldest is 90 years old and the youngest is 65 years old. Although they come from 10 different families, the feelings between villagers are like a family. They do everything together, such as doing farm work, celebrating festivals and worshiping their ancestors. Young people began to move to the city, and the old people who didn't want to move to the city to live with their children stayed. They take care of each other and are self-sufficient.
