Cuandixia Village, a famous historical and cultural village in China, is located in the west of Beijing, 90 kilometers away from the capital. The village was built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and is the most complete group of ancient residential buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties that has been preserved to date. The ancient village was built on the mountain. Under the control of the north-south central axis centered on Longtou Mountain, 76 sets of exquisite and exquisite quadrangle houses are extended downward in a fan shape as the height of the mountain changes. They are flexibly arranged on a limited foundation in a radial form. The overall layout of the village is rigorous and harmonious, with orderly changes. From a bird's-eye view, it looks like a gold ingot. Cuandixia is also called Chuandixia. Before 1958, it was called Cuandixia. When simplifying the characters for place names, in order to make it easier to carve official seals, "Cuandixia Village" was changed to "Chuandixia Village". The "Chuan" here has no actual meaning, but is homophonic with "Cuandixia". Now, in order to restore the original Cuandixia cultural history, the village name has been changed back to "Cuandixia Village". A large group of quadrangle courtyards are located on the north slope of the ravine, following the terrain and undulating with the slope. The volume of the houses is not uniform. The wide land is high and open, and the narrow land is narrow. The building materials are taken locally, and the stone is used when it is suitable, and the tile is used when it is suitable. It is set against the green mountains and valleys, the beautiful sun and thin clouds, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, avoiding the glory of the imperial capital, a good place to take a break and calm down. The meaning of the word "Cuandixia" 1. According to the historical book "Shuowen Jiezi", "Cuandi" is interpreted as under the stove, the fence is raging, meaning to light a fire and cook. 2. The 1998 edition of the Commercial Press Modern Chinese Dictionary, page 216, records: ①〈book〉burn fire and cook: separate爨, separate and separate爨. ②〈book〉stove: hold爨. ③(cuàn) surname. 3. The "爨" under the "爨" is interpreted as the meaning of the stove. The character "爨" has 30 strokes. Those who can write it write it as a "爨", and those who can't write it write it as a "large piece" (meaning that all the strokes are connected together). In order to make this character easy to write and remember, the villagers made up a jingle: "Xing" (traditional Chinese "Xing") is the head of the character, and "Lin" is the waist. The big character is set on the bottom to burn the fire. The fire burns the forest, and the more it burns, the more prosperous it becomes. People's Home - Huanglingxi Village Huanglingxi was once called Huanglongxi. The overall layout of the village is in the shape of the "人" structure, with green mountains, green waters, and deep pools. The mountains and rivers here have nurtured dozens of generations of people in Huanglingxi. The local villagers, who were originally engaged in farming, are hardworking, simple, hospitable, and have preserved a large number of old traditional production tools and daily necessities. In today's reform and opening up and new rural construction, the village has started tourism with the theme of ordinary people's homes, opened fossil exhibition halls, production of agricultural tools exhibition halls, daily necessities exhibition halls, built a farmhouse canteen, and formed a red song performance team, so that you can enjoy red song performances and taste authentic farmhouse food while visiting. Come to Huanglingxi Ancient Mountain Village to experience folk life. Jingxi Stone Village-Shuangshitou Village Shuangshitou Village is located next to the Jingxi Ancient Road. The overall view of the village resembles a phoenix with its wings spread. It is named after a pair of huge stones in the ditch. The stone culture is reflected everywhere here, just as the song sings: "Stone mill, stone mortar, stone wall, a room on the top of the stone, a stone gate to welcome distant guests, and a bride in the stone house". There are many strange stones and wonders in the village, such as mandarin duck stone, sister stone, double hanging stone, and lover stone. Ancient music of military households - Baiyu Village is a typical military household village. There is a "Tianjin Pass" (also known as Tianjing Pass) one kilometer north of the village. Successive dynasties set up passes and sent troops to garrison here. It was passable in the past, but now it is all prison stone walls. The commander-in-chief and the historian sent troops to guard it. In the second year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty (1451), Tianjing had a main city, a fort city, and a government office for guarding the north gate. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were still "extra external commissioned troops to guard this place." According to the "Wanshu Notes", Baiyu Village is because no plants can grow within ten miles inside and outside the Great Wall. Therefore, soldiers were sent to burn the mountains for many years, and the cypress and elm trees in the ditch disappeared since then, leaving only the name of Baiyu (Baiyu) Village recorded in the book.
