Inadvertently, I learned that there is such an ancient village in the downtown of Shenzhen, no prominent reputation, no gorgeous appearance, qinghuashe, carved fences and painted walls, simple, deep, low-key girl like deep boudoir, almost unknown, it is the ancient Village of Phoenix.

In shenzhen baoan district fuyong street at the foot of phoenix mountain, there was a national hero wen tianxiang descendants of southern song dynasty, has a history of more than 700 years old – the phoenix ancient village, village when the former fishing village in shenzhen has become a remarkable metropolis, phoenix ancient village is still like a good family, don’t get lured into a prosperous and noise of the outside world, and stick to quietly.

The ancient village impression

After working for a week and looking for a quiet place to walk, Fenghuang Ancient Village became the first choice

Getting out of the subway, we took a motorcycle taxi and got off at the entrance of the ancient village, passing through the noisy crowds, the noisy streets and the traffic lights with one person coming and going

Walking into the ancient village, suddenly quiet down, there are few people living here, streets and lanes reveal a rare quiet, as if there is an invisible barrier to isolate the noise of the outside world

Step on the SLATE, to feel the history of the old and years of deep

Alleys are the most common in ancient villages

Paths paved with green stone slabs run through the whole village, crisscrossing traffic

Shuttle in the alley, give a person a mysterious and thick feeling

As if to take you through time and space, you talk about the time track of reincarnation

There is not a whiff of commercialism here

Move to change scenery, originally impetuous heart, also began to calm down slowly

The ancient village has 69 Ming and Qing houses, 5 private schools and 12 public shrines

The houses are no longer inhabited, leaving only the rags left by the people who moved out

The iron Windows of the quadrilateral pattern were rusted, and the old clay stove was overgrown with weeds

People can only see in the dim head of the door here once prosperous, expensive gas

All kinds of ancient buildings can be seen along the way

Every now and then you can see a well locked by an iron gate

Once these Wells nourished the people of this side, and it seems that the figure of the residents drawing water can be seen beside the Wells

Old house, quiet time

Living in the prosperous city for a long time, I am longing for the quiet life of the ancient village

Enjoy this quiet place amidst ancient time

From beginning to end, just like one step skip a year ring, through the hundreds of years of history corridor, quietly feel the heart impact brought by the primitive

One wall

At the border of the ancient village, there lived a few families, and occasionally a few strands of cooking smoke, so that the whole ancient village added a bit of vitality

You can imagine, less than 100 meters away, is the bustling downtown, bustling and quiet, but just a wall between

Surrounded by tall buildings, a prosperous city scene

In the middle of the high rises, the rural lifestyle remains slow and chaotic

Just like a scar in a city, it not only brings security risks, but also affects the civilized image of the city

The disappearing ancient village

The ancient village building, which covers an area of 52,000 square meters, has been completely preserved in Shenzhen, a place where land is precious

But not every ancient village is treated like this

With the development of history and the change of times, the ancient city was gradually swallowed up by urbanization and formed a village in the city

The village in the city shrinks and eventually disappears on the map

Ancient villages give birth to culture and carry nostalgia

Once upon a time, Shenzhen was also an ancient village, where people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, full of earthly fireworks

But Shenzhen is so fast that people forget it was once a small fishing village, and it has been covered by the city before it has time to warm up its memories

Accustomed to the high-rise buildings in cities, do you still remember the appearance of ancient villages?

That is the memory of the appearance: green brick green tile, antique, full of years flowing, history has slipped traces

The old house, the quiet time, the homely place, it is easier for us to return to our roots

The city is the trend of The Times, and the ancient village is the accumulation of culture

Fenghuang ancient village, she seemed to remind us

Once in a while, slow down and listen to your inner voice and talk to your other self
