Check in at Shanzhou Dikengyuan, I really learned a lot after watching.
Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles.
'An ancient village below the horizon, a living fossil in the history of residential houses.' You see trees but not the village, enter the village but not the house, enter the house but not the door, hear voices but not people, I really learned a lot after watching.
Navigation: Shanzhou Dikengyuan, after a scenic road, you will arrive.
The scenic area has a parking lot, convenient for parking. Parking fee is 10 yuan.
Ticket: 68 for adults, half price for children 1.2 meters to 1.5 meters, free for children under 1.2 meters.
Food: There is a snack street along the exit, and you can also experience the local special 'Shanzhou Ten Bowls Banquet'.
22 Dikengyuan are connected to each other, like walking in a maze. The courtyard displays folk performances and intangible cultural heritage displays, such as grass hammer printing, Shanzhou paper cutting, gong and drum books, Chengni inkstones, shadow puppetry, sugar painting, red song performances, Shanzhou special wedding customs performances, etc.
I experienced grass hammer printing and witnessed how the juice of flowers and plants is printed into a beautiful picture. It costs 20 yuan to experience printing and dyeing a small bag, and the price is not expensive.
I watched how the old lady spun a ball of cotton into silk thread, and the thread into cloth.
One of the courtyards has a mountain stove, the stove hearts are connected, according to the principle of hot air rising, nine stove holes are opened in turn, placing nine pots, and the stove temperature decreases upwards. The first fire of the mountain stove is the most vigorous, suitable for steaming and boiling. As the fire gradually weakens, it is stewing, stewing, and keeping warm in turn. The function is simply too powerful. Curious babies tiptoe to open each pot lid to see what's inside. (Of course there is no food inside)
Key points:
The Dikengyuan, also known as the 'Underground Siheyuan', is a unique local residential form of 'digging pits on the flat ground and chiseling kilns on the four walls'. The construction art has been included in the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
Distribution of Dikengyuan: It is distributed in Shanzhou District of Sanmenxia, Henan, Yuncheng, Shanxi, Qingyang in Longdong, Gansu, and some areas of Shaanxi. The Dikengyuan was mostly built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The earliest existing courtyard that still has people living in it has a history of more than 200 years and has been lived in by more than six generations. The building quality is simply top-notch.
Architectural features: The construction cost is low, the method is unique, the shape and decoration are beautiful, and the living is comfortable. The construction process does not cost a brick or a tile; in order to prevent rainwater from pouring into the cave, a seepage well is dug in the middle of the Dikengyuan for storing seepage rainwater; in order to prevent the accumulated water around the Dikengyuan from flowing into the courtyard, there are horse-stopping walls and green tile eaves around, and at the same time prevent people from falling into the Dikengyuan.
