In people's impression, the ancient village is a mysterious and romantic world. The feeling of being forgotten by the world stands proudly in the wind and frost of the Millennium, just like a kind of magic, which makes all the time stand still here, quietly waiting for each sunrise and sunset, and quietly waiting for the reincarnation of the years.
In the long river of years, ancient villages have become treasures in the history of Chinese civilization with their quaint architectural style and simple and kind folk customs, and have also become idyllic scenery that urbanites yearn for, warm and distant villages, and smoke from a market in Iraq. Jiagu village in Detianzhuang, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is such an ancient village. In Shuolong Town, daxin county, on the border between China and Vietnam, after a hundred years, there are two branches of stockade, Heiyizhuang and Qingyizhuang, which have a long history and last for a hundred years.
Shuolong Town has been an important border town since ancient times. Jiagu Village in Detianzhuang is the largest and most populous Zhuang ancient village in this town. Jiagu Village in Detianzhuang is also one of the best preserved villages with its own independent national characteristics in the smoke of history. Cross the bridge, the only access to the village, and go all the way in. The bamboo slips on the guardrail beside the bridge used to be defensive facilities, but now they are more decorative.
At the entrance of the village, 1979 is displayed in a simple stone house. The traces of that war, whether simple words or old photos, represent people's memories of that history. It also witnessed the importance of Jiagu Village in Detianzhuang as a rear base during the war.
In the ancient village, southern green plants can be seen everywhere, and the stone roads and stone walls hidden under the green trees all show the tranquility and elegance of the ancient village. Being in this picturesque paradise, many people will forget the years in the mountains and indulge in them for thousands of years unless the etiquette signs and common words marked by Zhuang and Vietnamese on the roadside remind people of the passage of time.
Most of the houses in Guzhai are two-story buildings, the lower part is used for raising livestock and the upper part is used for daily life. After years of wind and frost baptism, many houses have lost their original appearance, and the old exterior walls also tell people the vicissitudes of time.
With the change of time, the young people in the stockade have gone out to work, resulting in fewer and fewer young people living in the "Detianzhuang Ancient Village". What we see in the village are basically old people. Left-behind elderly people, guarding ancient houses and villages, live and chat leisurely in the sun every day, which is a quiet and peaceful scene.
There is a long-standing custom in the village that whoever gives birth to a boy will plant grapefruit in front of the door, and whoever gives birth to a girl will plant papaya. Over time, every household in the village is full of fruit trees, and the fruits are more fragrant when they are ripe.
The appearance of tourists breaks the tranquility of the ancient village. They chat with tourists from all over the world, wear their own national costumes, sit in front of their homes and show their ancient village folk culture to tourists, which has also become a daily leisure way for the villagers in the ancient village.
Detianzhuang Jiaguzhai needs to be savored carefully to truly feel the traces of history!
