Yingtancun

The standard name seems to be ancient village, with a bit of ancient meaning, today's China rarely sees this kind of stone-built village, especially in the northern winter, this kind of house everywhere is cold to think about. It is said that this ancient village can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty or even more, and many rebel leaders in the late Tang Dynasty gathered here to take the meaning of hero talks. But looking back at history, the trace of Huangchao rebels does not seem to be tossing in this area of Hebei. Folklores are so untrue that they cannot be trusted or surprised.

⛰️ I took advantage of the weekend and my friends came to a surrounding tour that said to go. This time we punched in the English talk about the ancient village. ▫️ As soon as I entered the village, there was a strong historical atmosphere on the face. There were many relics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which seemed scattered. In that era of no mechanization, I had to admire the ghosts and craftsmanship of the ancients. And the roads and houses here are all built of stone, and the ancient walls and stone bridges have a century of history, as if telling people about the changes of the years. ▫️ There are many simple villagers living in the village. I feel that it is far from the hustle and bustle of the city and full of cultural heritage. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise. It is really worth a visit! #Xingtai Tourism #Xingtai Surrounding Tour #Gucun #Where to go on weekends #Play Raiders #Xingtai Weekend Where to Talk about Guzhai | Millennium Villages | Landscape Villages #Travel Happiness Moment #Xingtai Surrounding Tours

Deep in the Taihang Mountain in the west of Xingtai County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, there is a red Shizhai Yuyingtan Village hidden. The ancient village has a construction scale of 4,500 square meters, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the river in the east, beautiful mountains and clear waters, quiet and pleasant, and has a history of more than 600 years. The 67 Qing Dynasty residential courtyards in the village were built on the mountains and rivers, with scattered heights and lows, with a typical ancient Taihang architectural style, and have been preserved intact so far. According to historical materials, Xingtai was once the territory of Huangchao and Zhu Wen in the Tang Dynasty, and Yingtan Village is rumored to be the camp left by the Huangchao Rebellion. Outside the ancient village, there is a mountain stream called "blood bath", which is said to have been named because of the war in Huangchao. During the Ming and Yongle years, a large family of Shanxi Road surnamed came to settle here, and the original name of the ancient village was changed to "yingpan". The Yingtan village wall, built in Qingxianfeng in 1857, is the most complete preserved village wall in China. At that time, a large number of victims came here begging along the road, and the ancient village's surnamed ancestors gave porridge for many days without compensation for the victims. The victims thanked them, spontaneously organized to help build the village wall and build a loft on the village gate. The houses in the village are built of two kinds of stones, mostly two or three floors of small buildings, due to the differences in terrain, layered, thousands of positions, is the best preserved stone village in Hebei Province, known as "the first ancient stone village in Jiangbei". It is worth mentioning that these Qing Dynasty stone buildings built on the mountain have no stairs in each building. You need to go out first, climb the slope, and then enter the house. Although Yingtan Village is located in Hebei, there are many differences with the customs of southern Anhui. According to traditional Chinese architectural theory, it is believed that the back door of the home is easy to run to attract thieves, and Yingtan Village not only has the back door open, but also the back door open as big as the front door. As long as there are people in the house, the front and back doors are large and the guests can be unimpeded. Locals laugh and talk, carrying a bowl can eat all over the village. The buildings in the village do not need bricks and tiles, all are built from stones and slabs, the roof is made of wooden beams crushed with stone tiles, firm and warm in winter and cool in summer, these old buildings have been through heavy rain and floods for hundreds of years, and they are still well preserved. Follow the "of" zigzag streets and lanes to the highest point of Yingtan Village, standing here overlooking the village's layers of stone roofs, especially taste. Located in the center of Yingtan Village, Guihetang is the largest number of houses in the village and the highest building grade. Guihetang has two springs, the spring in front of the door is like a line, the spring in the courtyard is dripping down, the dripping speed is fixed, and the dripping speed is constant throughout the year. There is a folk proverb from ancient times in the local area: "a drop of spring in the door, a line of spring outside the door, how happy life is, like a living god."
