Xiangxian Middle School, located in the north of the center of Beicun, has a school history of nearly 100 years.

There is an extremely old carambola tree in Sanren hall, and the ancient houses with two entrances are well preserved. I went to Sanbaoxuan for a visit, and sold some exquisite handicrafts. The alleyway in Jinshili was also paved with stones, and Sanda Alley had a large flow of people.

The Zhennan Temple in Jinweili is located at No. 20 Anning West Street in Shawan Ancient Town. It was originally the ancestral hall (one of the branches) of the He family. At present, the ancestral hall has been transformed into the Yabai Art Museum in Huangyou Town.

The museum fits the heritage atmosphere of Shawan ancient architecture, displaying many woodcarving works by the famous contemporary artist Huang Youzhen.

There is a pair of couplets in front of the Anbai Art Museum in Huangyou Town. The first couplet: The cypress smell is full of butterflies and the dream comes to the strings of the pipa.

Sculpture, such an art that turns decay into magic, the dead wood comes back to life, and the dead roots come back to life, and they are alive with the carving knife in the hands of the root carver. Professor Huang Youzhen, an artist, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city,

Living in seclusion in the quiet and peaceful ancient town of Shawan, with the art of thuja in my heart, like a wild crane in the clouds, self-cultivation, self-cultivation, and creation with great concentration. The combination of life and art,

It is Huang Youzhen's initial foothold in the creation of cypress root carvings. He often travels thousands of miles to Daba Mountain, Taihang Mountain and other thuja producing areas, spending more time and energy than ordinary people looking for high-quality raw materials in the deep mountains, and even often climbs high mountains and cliffs, just for a top thuja. Through hard thinking and meditation like an ascetic monk and craftsman, conceive the layout, move the knife to carve, be meticulous, and see wisdom from the essence.

His works refuse to be rigid, but hope to become spiritual objects that infect and communicate with people. He pursues the unique characteristics of each work, which contains the author's decades of life experience and accumulated cultural heritage.

For more than 30 years, Huang Youzhen has been engaged in the creation, design, director, and production of animation and comics, and he loves clay sculpture, wood carving, and Chinese painting creation.

The gray sculpture of the hanging ridge lion in the Zhennan Temple, the wood-carved lion on Xigongliang, the special-shaped Dougong, the bird and the brick carving on the head of the head have all been preserved. There are two stone drums at the door. When I walked into the hall for a walk, a beautiful woman tried to open it Sound, but the website was down, and then I saw her go to make tea. I was the only visitor in the museum. I saw that in addition to sculptures, there were a lot of green plants in the museum, which showed that the owner is a person with a lot of sentimentality.

I walked around in front of Yucai Primary School and saw a huge old tree. Shawan West Village Yucai Primary School was founded in 1946.

The school currently has 12 teaching classes and 595 students. The school covers an area of ​​6,900 square meters, and the building area of ​​the school building is 4,638 square meters.

I saw a villa on the right side of Yucai Primary School, and there was a stall selling Spring Festival couplets next to the square. I saw [Huang's Ancient Architecture Encyclopedia] No. 31608: There were also people setting up a stall in front of Rushan Hegong Temple. to chat with,

Recently, the innovation and revitalization of Shawan Ancient Town has made use of the Rushan Hegong Ancestral Hall to build a new era civilization practice station in Shawan Ancient Town. This old ancestral hall has been "renewed" since then, from an "empty house" to a "popular hall". The concept of "group construction culture" has built this place into a "one-stop" group construction service place, which has served more than 35,000 person-times.

From modern city centers to centuries-old ancient towns, cultural venues have acquired new roles in the new era. The continuous improvement of the modern public cultural service system covers urban and rural areas, so that the profound history can be preserved and the innovative culture can be spread. Inclusive, a hundred flowers bloom. Shawan is promoting the comprehensive strength of the city's culture by using cultural people and shaping the city, building a model of culturally strong villages, constantly improving the height of civilized ancient towns, and striving to create a model of ancient villages and towns with rich culture.

The Rushan He Gongci Temple has also just undergone major repairs. On the left side of it is Kengweizhi Street. The outer wall is made of red yarn rock. I walked into another alleyway and saw more old houses and civilized households. Lost, this ancient town of Shawan is actually very big, there are some well-preserved ancestral halls in Luoshanli Street,

Luoyin Lane is quieter. There is a family in Yuelong Lane who planted firecrackers on the outer wall. I walked to Fuxiang Lane and found some dilapidated old houses. After walking for a while, I met a young couple. Watching my son playing, I went to the official alley and met two girls. The terrain here is very high, and there is a farming living hall next to it.

Shawan Ancient Town is also a place with a strong cultural atmosphere. In Shawan Ancient Town, there is a hexagonal tower with a height of only three floors, but it has the status of "Confucian Temple" in the local area. It is a must-see place for students to travel to Shawan Ancient Town.

At the same time, it is also the most popular scenic spot in the local area. Under the three-story ancient pagoda is a small square with flower ponds and stone platforms. Every small corner is exquisitely designed. Walking up the stone steps, the granite fence around the pagoda is covered with red ribbons inscribed on the blessing gold list, fluttering in the wind, and each red ribbon is written with a student's wish.

Wenfeng Pagoda is located at the junction of Beicun Guanxiangli and Buyunli, also known as Wenchang Pavilion and Wenkui Pagoda. It was built in the 60th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1721). Wenfeng Pagoda was once the highest point of Gushawan, and it is entered from Jinshili Lane, Anning West Street. The hexagonal and three-storey pagoda is not only a Fengshui building of Liugeng Hall of the He family, but also enshrines the statue of "Wen Kuixing", who was originally the god who must come to worship for scholars and children in the village to "Kai Dong Xue".

The He family, one of the four major surnames in Shawan in ancient times, lived and multiplied in Shawan. After creating wealth through the hard work and wisdom of the past dynasties, they vigorously advocated the emphasis on culture and education, and established scholarships with family funds.

The children and grandchildren who have achieved fame are ranked according to their grades, and they are given corresponding scholarships and land as encouragement, gradually making this a rich and famous town known for its "cultivation and study culture" for hundreds of years.

In ancient Shawan, before children entered school, parents would bring their children to Wenfeng Pagoda to burn incense and worship, and ask the teacher to open the pen to break the mystery, so that the students can experience the traditional virtue of respecting teachers and emphasizing teaching in the solemn and solemn ceremony of opening pens, and realize that they are My life has entered a new stage of learning skills and learning to be a person.

Procedures such as wishing. At the foot of Wenfeng Pagoda, there is a wall painting with the theme of aoyu. A group of cute little bookboys are dressed in traditional Hanfu, with cinnabar on their foreheads, chasing Aoyu and playing happily. As an important cultural symbol in Panyu District, squid is becoming more and more popular.

Shawan Ancient Town also launched a cultural and creative product - Aoyu embroidery stickers, inspired by the folk custom "Aoyu dance". Aoyu has the meaning of "being the best" among the people. As a representative of enrolling in an imperial examination, Shawan Ancient Town uses Aoyu in the form of embroidery on children's clothing, with peach and plum blossom belts, implying that they will gain fame and fame, and peaches and plums are all over the world (Xiao Guilai , Li Bo).
