Wannan Hidden Gem: The village is picturesque, with two national treasures of ancient villages

After revisiting the old places in Wannan, I have already skipped many popular tourist spots, and this unplanned visit to was not previously known, but it is very interesting. In addition to the mentioned in the previous article, there is also a national protected unit . Beian Village is an excellent feng shui treasure land, with the Mianxi River flowing through the village, facing the sharp peak of Longzhu Flower Mountain in front, with Longmen Tianzhu Peak to the east, looking south at Datian Temple, and to the west, there is the Guanyin Pavilion of Chishitan Mountain. The terrain is like a fishnet and a Bagua formation, with two small water ditches in front of the ancestral hall acting as the fish's whiskers, backed by the Lailong Mountain and the land dam, with excellent dragon veins, hence Beian Village is said to have 'thousands of stoves and tens of thousands of people'. The village is mainly populated by the Wu surname, who migrated from Wuyuan, Jiangxi during the Song Dynasty. The village has more than 100 ancient Huizhou-style buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, integrating the 'Three Excellences of Huizhou' - brick carving, wood carving, and stone carving. The ancestral hall was originally built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, rebuilt during the Qianlong period, and renovated again in the sixth year of the Daoguang era (1862), with a history of over four hundred years. The ancestral hall faces south with a north-facing orientation and is a three-section, two-hall style. The entrance hall is a Wufeng Tower, with a pair of large drum-shaped stones in front, side doors on the left and right, and door pins above. There are wooden lattice doors between the outer eaves columns, with stone lions carved on the column heads; The Ba character wall has Xumizuo stone carvings of lions playing with balls, elephants, Kui dragons, and other traditional auspicious patterns, with exquisite wood carvings such as camel humps, sparrow replacements, and barge boards under the eaves; The central hall has thick and grand moon beams and columns. The most amazing feature is the two groups of Yixian bluestone carvings on the inner railing boards, separately depicting ⭐'Panorama of West Lake' and 'Hundred Deer Picture'⭐, which are simple and elegant, refined and exquisite, and are a marvel of Huizhou stone carving, 🚵🏻‍♂️Address: Beian Village, Beian Town, She County, Anhui Province 🚘Navigation: 'Beian Scenic Area', free of charge ⭐Surroundings: Huizhou Ancient City, Yuliang Scenic Area, Landscape Gallery, Yangchan Earthen Building
