Beautiful trip to Guizhou (six) - crooked ways - Ancient town of Zhenyuan 醉美贵州行（六）歪门邪(斜)道之 镇远古镇！

The ancient town of Zhenyuan lies on the Bank of Wuyang, surrounded by mountains. The river meanders through the "S" - shaped City, and there are a lot of ancient buildings, traditional houses, historical docks and so on inside and outside the city. Zhenyuan has a long history of 30 years since the king of Qin (277 BC) established the county since 2281. It has been Yuan Dynasty Palace and Qing Dynasty Palace for over 700 years.

Look at these ancient towers ! They not only reproduce the Jiangnan courtyard style, but also reflects the mountain building layout; the building is a perfect combination of wood and stone structure, visible small carved flowers Yuchong, big show they are bold write and draw freely as one wishes, the Ming and Qing Dynasties "Southwest will be" a true portrayal of the people live and work in peace, and show the financial access to the business philosophy of merchants. The perfect combination of the South and the mountain makes Zhenyuan's dwellings a wonder in the history of Chinese architecture.

Walking in the quiet streets, as if flying through the moment at that time.

How brilliant the Wuyang night! It seems as if people live in the colorful world!

Zhenyuan residential building in the most is "crooked ways". In the alley where the open road of the door never parallel or vertical alley with the hall is, but deliberately toward the door to a point of view, slanting to the streets, the so-called "evil" (oblique) road. Old residents said that this "crooked" and "oblique" is to comply with Sir Feng Shui said: "respect for the South" is a kind of wealth and money is not revealed.

The original houses now have changed into a restaurant or a hotel .

If you enjoy the ancient buildings of ZhenYuan town , you must not miss it. Living in the bustling city for a long time, occasionally come to share the antique ancient customs, you will feel that’s a quiet life!

Hope you like it and thanks for reading !

镇远古镇位于舞阳河畔，四周皆山。河水蜿蜒，以"S"形穿城而过，城内外有古建筑群、传统民居、历史码头等数量颇多。镇远历史悠久，自秦昭王30年(公元前277年)设县开始至今已有2281年的历史，其元代清代为道、府所在地达700多年之久。

镇远古民居把中原四合院的原型，搬到山上改造成山屋，吊脚楼、回廊等多种形式的山庄式院落。既重现了江南庭院的风貌，又 体现出山地建筑的布局; 这些建筑是木石结构的完美结合，小处可见精雕细刻的花草鱼虫，大处则显出挥洒自如的豪放，它们是明清时代"西南都会"人们安居乐业的真实写照，又表现出商人财源通达的商业理念。江南与山地的完美结合，使镇远的民居成为中国建筑史上的奇观。

走在古朴的街道上, 像是穿越了那时那刻。

舞阳河夜景，是不是灯火辉煌，变化万千，让人置身于炫彩的世界！

镇远的民居建筑中最绝的就是"歪门邪道"了。凡开在小巷道旁的各家大门绝不会与小巷平行或垂直，小巷也决不与大厅正对，而是有意地将门的朝向转一个角度，斜斜地对着街道，即所谓"邪"(斜)道。老住户们说这"歪"与"斜"是遵从风水先生的说法:"以南为尊"是一种富贵之相，又能"财不露白"。

原来的民居现在多变成了食府或者客栈。

喜欢古镇的朋友一定不要错过了哦。在热闹的都市生活久了，偶尔置身于古色古香的远古风情，感受那一片宁静吧。

希望你喜欢，感谢阅读！
