Journey through Shanxi Series (10) - Jincheng Imperial City Mansion
Within and beyond the high walls of the courtyard, the Qing Dynasty, through the changing and unchanging passage of time, is within reach. Through the cracks of loess and time, push open the door of the mansion, babbling: Look, the drama of Wuting Mountain Village has ended, but it still looks like a character in the play. Following its shadow, the mist is hazy, the wanderings are numerous, and it has been rolling in the world for four hundred years.
This middle road manor that has stood for four hundred years, heaven, earth, door, wall, four in one, sitting north to south, east to the mountains, west to the river, the architecture is square, the halls are separate, pay attention to symmetry, in the embrace of mountains and water, it condenses the essence of traditional Chinese residential culture. Douzhu Residence, Heshan Building, Tunbing Cave, Chen's Ancestral Hall, Shude Courtyard, Stone Archway, Zhi Garden, every existence that has been seen and touched, reflects the stories of the past. Perhaps it is because the old house is old and new, perhaps it is because every brick and wall is filled with the master's infinite ingenuity, perhaps it is the supreme favor of time, that makes me feel like I am in the mansion, as if I am Chen Xiang returning to the mansion, allowing me to pass through the door of time and space, to see the continuation of the family spirit, family prosperity, descendants prosperity, that is the fruit of the efforts of generations of Chen family members to uphold the ancestral instruction of 'being virtuous when poor, and benefiting the world when rich', and only those who live in it and grow in it understand the true meaning of the family name.
Born here, grown here, the loess nurtures us endlessly, the Yellow River nourishes us continuously. We are the children of this land, we deeply love this land far from the city, longing, yearning, because it is our eternal homeland.

The scenic spot is well preserved, the service is relatively complete, the May Day holiday, there are many people, but the scenic spot has done diversion measures, and there are many performances to enjoy. The imperial city Xiangfu is well-deserved, magnificent, reasonable layout, wrong height, and a recommended place.
2024.5.8 Huangcheng Xiangfu, it is not only a national AAAAA-level scenic spot, but also a 260-year-old official residence complex that has been through the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its total area is up to 3.6 10,000 square meters, composed of inner city, outer city and purple scorpion. This is the former residence of Chen Tingjing, the Minister of the Qing Dynasty! This Chen Ting Jing Ke Niu, a scholar and scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University and the third grade of Shangshu, the general reading officer of Kangxi Dictionary, and the lecturer of Kangxi Emperor's 35-year scripture! His residence is a place that any Qing emperor would like to live in! The imperial city Xiangfu complex is divided into inner city and outer city, full of traditional palace architectural style. The inner city was built by Chen Tingjing's uncle Chen Changyan in the Ming Dynasty in Chongxu six years (1633), called "Douzhu Keju", which sounds cool! The outer city was completed in Kangxi 42 years (1703), called "Zhongdaozhuang". The construction area of the entire Xiangfu reached 36,580 square meters, of which 16 M and 640 houses. One of the most distinctive buildings of the Imperial City Xiangfu is the river and mountain building, and its design is simply incredible! This building is a military defense fortress built in response to the flow of invasion. There is no square wood at all, all using masonry structures! There are no windows in the building, only three floors or more. I heard that this building can accommodate thousands of people for refuge! It is really an ancient circle of friends. Even more powerful, the river and mountain towers have hidden secret tunnels! This tunnel can help people move and escape, it is really a wonderful place for military design...
On May 1st holiday, I took my children out to play in Shanxi. The imperial city Xiangfu was a day trip. There were performances in the scenic spot. The children liked it very much. They also learned a lot of historical knowledge, historical figures, etc., to increase the children's eyes. Generally speaking, I am very satisfied. There are more people on the holiday. But the imperial village where the scenic spot is located is also beautiful.
Huangcheng Xiangfu, located in Yangcheng, Jincheng, Shanxi, Chen Tingjingzhai. It was a heavy minister in Qingkang 𤋮, a scholar at Wenyuange University, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce. It was given the drawings of the imperial city by grace. The entire imperial city Xiangfu is built on the mountain, with the help of terrain, building, small land, many courtyards, you need to follow the tour route to visit smoothly. There are too many tourists on holidays, other times are better, please explain the best, otherwise you can only take a horse to see...
This attraction is still worth a visit. The magnificent architecture and the family style of cultural heritage are worth experiencing. Every courtyard has its own characteristics, and there will indeed be a lot of thoughts after visiting. Be sure to ask a tour guide, and the flowers will come in vain. After seeing the Xiangfu, the other castles almost felt meaningless.
Jincheng must come to check in one of the places, it is highly recommended to come to see, I will come at ten in the morning, because there is a performance at ten o'clock, it is very solemn to see, tell Kangxi to visit the imperial city Xiangfu, his teacher Chen Jingting, to show the story of Kangxi dictionary, recommended to see, It is recommended to bring a tour guide to tell the story content of each place. It is a very meaningful place. I heard the requirements of the local people that have been continued to the present, and it is very shaken!
Golden Week must go early, it is best to arrive around 8 o'clock, otherwise it is difficult to park. Explain 130, wear headset, the whole process is about an hour and a half, do not go back, it is worth it. During the Chinese New Year, the gate was greeted at 9:30 in the morning. There were many people. You can take advantage of this time to visit the first, staggered peak.
