Notes on Xihua Village
Yunzhen, the abbreviation of Yungaisi ancient town, is located in Zhen 'an County, Shangluo District, Shaanxi Province. Yunzhen is about eleven kilometers away from the county seat, and there is a bus to Zhen 'an, which runs every 15 minutes. From Xi 'an to Yunzhen, there are three forms.
There are two routes to drive. One can go to Zhen 'an first, and then to Yunzhen. The other is from Zhashui to Yunzhen via Xihua Village. This road is under construction and will be open to traffic soon.
In the second form, you can take a train to Zhen 'an for about 2 hours, and then take a bus to Yunzhen. In the last form, you can take a bus directly to Zhen 'an at Xi 'an South Bus Terminal, and then transfer to Yunzhen. ?
Qian Jie Street.
Located in the Qinling Mountains, this town is named after Yungai Temple. Legend has it that many years ago, whenever a beautiful woman was burning incense, the monk in the temple pressed the organ, and the futon on which the woman was burning incense collapsed, causing the woman to fall into the underground darkroom. These poor women were softened by the monks in the temple.
The brutality of the monks angered the celestial performance, so lightning and thunder flashed, and the heavenly soldiers would descend over the temple, cover the temple with clouds and fight against the evil monks, hence the name Yungai Temple.

When I first came here three years ago, the town was still under construction, and now it is preliminary.
It's well built The ancient town was built in the first year of Tang Dynasty, and Yungai Temple and Old Street are located in Yungai Temple Street.
On the ninth floor, there are 18 halls and more than 1000 temples, which lead directly to the foot of Luxiang Mountain in Dongwan. There is a waterfall spring on the left and a white temple cave on the right, which is quiet and rugged and contrasts with the waterfall.
The old streets in the town are best preserved, with buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties and Huizhou style.
Qian Jie Street.
Old streets and old houses are built with their backs to green mountains and green waters. I like the style of the old street best. Two rows of houses are built opposite each other. In the center of Shiban Road is a small canal with a width of more than 30 cm. Canal water flows in front of every house. Because the small canal goes down with the trend, there is a drop every 1 meter, forming a sleeve needle waterfall.
The canal water is clear, there are wild small fish swimming around in the water, and there are also goldfish of various colors raised by some residents. Every few steps, there are domestic bonsai hanging on the canal, nourished by canal water.
This water is flowing, from the water in the valley of Qinling Mountain. "Ask where the canal is so clear, because there is flowing water from the source".
The town is built on water, which leads the water to the street. Water makes this town full of vitality. After dinner, residents sit in front of the door, listening to the gurgling water and chatting with their neighbors across the street. How close they are, this street is everyone's common yard.

Courtyard terrace
Walking on this old street, you can walk into people's homes. There is a family named Liu, and the old couple have retired. The pattern of this family is very old.
The entrance is the living room, across the hall into the yard. On both sides of the small courtyard are wings, and the tile walls are inlaid with woodcarving doors and windows. Small as the yard is, it is very tasty. In the center of the slate is a long and narrow patio, and the bottom of the patio is paved with stones. There are bonsai flowers in the courtyard, including potted yew, water lily and wanlian.
On rainy days, the rain on the surrounding eaves falls into the patio, nourishing flowers and trees. Excess water flows through the outlet to the small canal in the middle of the old street, and the water from the small canal flows into Hanoi.
Here you can see the circulation and flow of water. The original design of the ancient town was overall planning, extremely intelligent, natural and natural. I have been to some ancient towns, each with its own characteristics. Each one embodies the wisdom of the ancients and gives us infinite enlightenment and leisure.

Across the yard, I entered the back room, and finally the kitchen. Behind the kitchen is a small backyard. The flowers in the backyard are just decorations. Most vegetables are planted, such as beans, cucumbers, bitter gourd, eggplant, tomatoes, onions, small vegetables and so on. The hostess told me that these dishes have satisfied their daily life. Today, when people are worried about food safety, how much people like and envy this vegetable garden. Next to the vegetable field, all kinds of roses are in full bloom. It is a beautiful and grounded small vegetable garden.

There are also the Temple of Wealth and the stage in the old street. This temple, stage and temple are the spiritual territory of the ancient town people.

In the old street, many families have patios in their yards. The row of houses by the river is more beautiful. After entering the house several times, the garden went out to the river around the town. The river is fast-flowing, which is the spring water from the depths of the mountains. For thousands of years, the residents of Yunzhen have relied on the nourishment of mountains and rivers for generations.
