In the deep mountains of Mentougou in my hometown, there is an ancient village with a history of hundreds of years and still well preserved in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The village of Loudi is located in the deep mountains of Zhaitang Town in the mountainous area of ​​the west of Beijing. The pines and cypresses and the green trees are shaded, and there is a feeling of “Xanadu”. The village ancestors moved from Shanxi to the Ming Dynasty and established this Han family. The “ancestral hall” in the village records the font size of each generation. According to the 30-year generation, the village has a history of 500 years and was once a prosperous commodity trading inn on the Jingxi Road.

Under the village, the village is surrounded by mountains and surrounded by clear springs.

The whole village is facing south, and there are 76 sets of well-preserved courtyard houses and more than 600 houses. The structure is tight and patchwork. The architectural style of the courtyard houses not only the details of the windows, buildings and rooms of the Jiangnan water town, but also the momentum of the northern buildings. Stone wall mountain road, gate courtyard courtyard, shadow wall flower wall, can still see the fine work of the year, brick carving, stone carving, wood carving contains ancient national culture. The stone wall of Shi Lei has a profound culture accumulated in majesty, simplicity and peace. It is called "the Potala Palace in Beijing." The architectural decoration of the village courtyard in Loudi is very beautiful and rich in patterns. It is mostly a flower and bird that symbolizes auspiciousness. Before and after the gate of each courtyard, there are shadow walls and gates. Although the calligraphy and painting on the screen wall has been somewhat blurred due to the age, it still feels the charm of the past. The quaint farmyard will make you forget to return.

Excursions in this ancient village can also be enjoyed by its traditional culture. Under the shackles, the villagers have the incarnation of the gods of wealth, the Guan Gong Temple, the Niangniang Temple with the hopeful son, and the Guanyin Temple, which protects the Taiping. The villagers live together for generations. There are many moving legends in the village under the squatting village: the village was originally called "爨". The villagers decomposed the "爨" into the head of Xingzi, the waist of the forest, and the fire under the big characters, symbolizing the desire of the village to warm and keep warm. It is also said that the place where the Taijun Laojun alchemy was on the alchemy of the village, the source of the alchemy was down, so it was named "the village under the bottom." These legends reflect the cultural tastes and pursuits of the villagers.

The people here are gentle and nice, and they are very simple and have a sincerity. Most of the courtyard houses have become small farmhouses, which is convenient for people who come here to play.

Although the village of Loudi has lost its glory in the past, it has preserved the original features of the ancient village, making the people under the shackles endless and becoming a humanistic resource with cultural relics protection value and tourism value.
