Autumn is the most comfortable season of the year. The most favorite season of the year is autumn. On this cool Saturday, abandon the boring work and rush to the quaint ancient town of Xiasi. Take an autumn outing.
Xiasi, a "pearl on the water" with a history of 600 years, the ancient town of Xiasi with beautiful scenery and profound cultural heritage attracts tourists. As soon as I entered the ancient town, the autumn wind rushed towards me along with the river water. The summer heat faded away, and the wind in the ancient town became extraordinarily cool, as if sleeping under a quilt with the air conditioner on at home. Just a few steps away, you can see the archway of Xiasi Ancient Town. This archway is an eight-pillar and three-bay archway in the Qing Dynasty. There are many archways left over from the five thousand years of Chinese history and culture, but most of the archways have architectural structures. Most of them are flat. The archway I see now is a rare and precious three-dimensional archway. It is exquisitely carved and well preserved. There are many exquisite humanistic stories carved on the beams and piercings on both sides of the archway. Animals and plants that symbolize longevity and happiness.

Follow the commentary guide to Lusheng Square. The center of the square is decorated with the pattern of the Miao bronze drum, also known as the bronze drum square. It is said that Qiandongnan is "the big festival is three or six, and the small festival is every day", so it is a place for people to gather and watch performances. There are many shops and ancient buildings in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China around the square. Han cultural atmosphere. I always thought that this small ancient town was just a minority-style thing, but I never thought that there would be a stage in it, which is eye-catching and has a special charm.
Six hundred years have passed, Xiasi Ancient Town has not been commercialized, but still retains the ancient architectural culture and simplicity. Even the building of the Public Security Bureau in the town still retains the architectural style of the Republic of China, and there are minority cultures on top of the building. Shadows, silver hats, silver horns, and silver decorations all combine with the architecture of the Republic of China without any sense of disobedience.
The most impressive thing is Yangming Academy. The tour guide inside explained the origin of Yangming Academy in detail. It turns out that Yangming Academy was established by Sun Yingao, a redisciple of Wang Yangming, to commemorate and continue the influence and promotion of Yangming Theory in Xiasi. This established Yangming Academy.
The ancients had the custom of "respecting the sky and cherishing characters". Unwanted manuscripts should not be discarded casually, but should be burned in the pagoda of cherishing characters. This is a kind of respect for characters and sages. If it weren't for the tour guide's explanation, I would have thought it was just an architectural decoration. Looking at the small stone table in front of the Zizi Pagoda, it suddenly made me want to go back to my school days and take classes in the classroom.

1808 Street is a literary street in Xiasi. Walking here has a close contact with the intangible cultural heritage. There are handicraft "craftsmen" and "inheritors of intangible cultural heritage" from all over the southeast of Guizhou, which makes Xiasi ancient town full of vitality. flavor of traditional culture. As an art student, painting is an ordinary thing I do every day when I was studying, but although the old artists here hold the brush and color like us, to be honest, I really got started with the seemingly simple gouache When I was young, I drew the same as the ones in kindergarten. Batik is often mentioned by the teacher when I was studying, but the first time I saw it was in Xiasi Ancient Town. The tool used by the batik master to draw wax flowers on the dyed cloth is a self-made steel knife. This steel knife is made of two pieces. or multiple thin copper sheets of the same shape, one end is tied to the wooden handle, the knife edge is slightly open and the middle is slightly hollow, so that it is easy to dip in beeswax for painting. Compared with us who hold brushes, this kind of painting is more This is the first time I have seen a pen, and it has opened up a new world for me to paint brushes.
