Shangqing ancient street

Shangqing ancient street: for more than 1000 years, the hardworking and simple Shangqing residents have been living by mountains and rivers for generations. Today, the ancient appearance of the ancient street is still the same, and the ancient style still exists. This ancient street is built along the river. It is about 3 li long, connecting the whole town from east to west. The street is paved with cobblestone and long blue stone in the middle. On both sides of the street are brick and wood shops, and on the side of the river is the unique building in Jiangnan water town - stilted building.

If Diaojiaolou is a major feature of Shangqing folk houses, then yanhemabu is another landscape and prosperous history of Shangqing. The ancient street of Shangqing Dynasty was built near the water. When the ancestors built their houses, they took into account the convenience of drinking water, washing clothes and even berthing ships. Every 20 or 30 meters, they vacated a lane and built stone steps with gneiss. The waterfront was built into a fan-shaped quay with long strips of gneiss. The workmanship was exquisite, beautiful, convenient and practical.

Let's take a look at the houses on the left side of the ancient street. Whether they are old or new, they are all lined up in rows facing south, but filial piety is not on a horizontal line. Why? This is called "pocket house". If the house is on a horizontal line, it is a "flowing house", then the financial fortune will be washed away along the flowing water. Therefore, when local people build houses, the corner of the house should always be highlighted to show that they want to keep their financial fortune forever.
