Although there is nothing unusual about coming to Anhui, the horse-head wall building with white walls and tiles has a unique flavor in Hongcun, with green hills as the background and lake water as the ornament. Walking on the ancient bluestone road, the pool on one side is flowing, and the Huizhou architecture on the bluestone road leading to the horse head wall on the other side of the pool, under the traces of years, traces of yellow or green have appeared on the building wall, and mottled black ash has witnessed the history of the ancient village. Crossing the arch is the commercial area of Hongcun. There are shops and shops downstairs on the horse head wall. A tall ginkgo tree in the middle stands out in the plain scenery. Although the leaves on the high side of ginkgo tree have fallen off a lot, the ginkgo leaves on the low side are still golden. When the breeze blows, it falls off. Looking up, I found that it was ginkgo biloba leaves. The horse head wall under the blue sky seemed to be very high, and the antique taste came to my face.
Walking into the narrow alley, there are Huizhou buildings on both sides of Qingshiban Road. Almost every household has opened a shop, some selling local snacks, some selling handwritten gifts, and warmly greeting and tasting when passing by. Some villagers carry burdens and sell them on the roadside. China's hairy tofu and snakehead fish on the tip of the tongue are edible, but I think if you don't like curiosity, you should be mentally prepared before eating, and the taste may be a little unaccustomed. Nanhu Lake is one of the lakes in Hongcun. The calm lake reflects the Huizhou architecture on one side. The colorful bridge spans the South Lake like a rainbow, and people sitting on the shore sketch. In an instant, mountains and lakes, houses and people are integrated, and the ink painting of Yishan is slowly unfolding in front of us. There is also a withered lotus flower on the surface of Nanhu Lake, and the withered branches under the broken leaves seem to be more suitable for the immediate scenery.
Crossing the streets from the Huizhou architecture on the edge of the South Lake, not far away is another lake in the middle of Hongcun-Moon Lake, which is named after it looks like a half moon. The surface of Moon Lake is as calm as a big mirror. A circle of buildings with large white walls around the lake are reflected on the water, and the ground becomes a clear dividing line, separating the buildings on the shore from the reflections in the water. When we walked to Lake Yonumu, it suddenly began to rain in Mao Mao, and the distant hills were foggy. The shrouded Hongcun village is like a painting, not what we saw in other people's paintings before, but a true portrayal of our hometown. I suddenly understand why it is called the hometown of painting. Such a quiet ancient village with different scenery in four seasons is really like a village that only exists in paintings. Walking in an ancient village, maybe the next second I will become a figure in someone else's painting.
After I have been to Hongcun, whenever I hear blue and white porcelain in Jay Chou singing misty rain like sky blue, I will think of this ancient village in misty rain painting.
