In the east of Guangdong Province, there is an ancient city with a long history and rich deposits - Huizhou. Here is not only rich in cultural landscape, but also hidden a unique ancient village. And the story I want to tell today happened in this ancient city full of mystery. An ancient village in the southern part of Huizhou, called Guanchang, is undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
One, the former glory of the election field
The election field, formerly known as Tai Keng Field, was built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty with a history of more than 600 years. This ancient village used to be one of the most prosperous trade and distribution centers in Huizhou, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, where merchants gathered and logistics were smooth, attracting businessmen from all over the country to come to trade. The ancient streets, ancient alleys and ancient houses in the village are well preserved, witnessing the glory of the past.
However, with the development of The Times, the prosperity of the election field gradually faded. Most of the young people in the village go out to work, leaving the elderly and children behind. The once busy commercial activities became cold, and the ancient village gradually lost its vitality. The election field, once the commercial pearl of Huizhou, seems to have been forgotten by time and is silent in the dust of history.
Second, the rise of Huizhou election field
However, fate has not forgotten this ancient village. In recent years, the Chinese government has attached great importance to the protection of traditional culture and rural revitalization, and put forward a series of policy measures. In this context, the election village firmly seized the opportunity, gave full play to its own advantages, and started a earth-shaking change.
First of all, Zhanchang Village took the protection and repair of ancient buildings as the starting point, and carried out a comprehensive investigation and restoration of ancient buildings in the village. The historical sites such as the simple blue brick tiled houses, flagstone roads, ancient Wells and ancestral halls have been properly protected, and the ancient village style has been recreated. On this basis, Zhanchang Village has also dug deep into historical and cultural resources, sorted out precious materials such as village history and genealogy, and provided rich spiritual food for villagers to inherit and carry forward traditional culture.
Next, the village actively develops rural tourism, with the ancient village as the carrier, holding various cultural activities to attract tourists to come to experience. Such as holding Huizhou folk culture Festival, food festival, painting and calligraphy photography exhibition and other activities, so that tourists can experience the folk culture and artistic charm of Huizhou region while visiting ancient villages. In addition, the election field village also encourages villagers to develop industries such as homestays and farmhouse music, improve villagers' incomes, and help rural revitalization.
Third, the road to the rebirth of the election village
With the joint efforts of the government and the villagers, the village has gradually gained new vitality. Now, walking in the big election village, as if through time, back to the bustling business center. The ancient buildings, historical sites and traditional culture in the village attract more and more tourists to explore.
At the same time, the village also actively expands exchanges and cooperation with other regions, such as cooperating with domestic and foreign universities and research institutions to carry out projects such as folk culture research and traditional skills inheritance, so as to further enhance the visibility and influence of the village.
The transformation of Zhanchang village is only a microcosm of many ancient villages in Huizhou. Under the background of rural revitalization, Huizhou region is actively exploring new paths for the protection and development of ancient villages, so that these ancient villages can be revitalized and become an important carrier for inheriting Chinese excellent traditional culture.
- Conclusion
After a hundred years of vicissitudes, Dazhan Village has successfully achieved a magnificent transformation from decline to rebirth under the joint efforts of the government and villagers. Today's Dazhan Village not only retains its simple historical style, but also is full of vitality for development. Every brick and tile here bears witness to the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation and tells the historical changes of Huizhou.
In the future, Zhanchang Village will continue to follow this road of rebirth, explore more cultural resources, innovate development models, and help rural revitalization. It is believed that in the near future, this ancient and vibrant village will become a beautiful business card of Huizhou region and even the whole country.
