In order to further verify how many rooms there are in the ancient house, the village head brought seven or eight people, and used the traditional method of inserting incense to count, inserting a candle in each room, and that's it, and counted back and forth five or six times, or countless.

The counted numbers are different every time, and there is always a difference of two or three numbers.

The house structure of this ancient house is very complicated, some of which are large rooms and small rooms, once entering the door, the houses are connected.

Many darkrooms are scattered upstairs and downstairs like a maze, and if you are not careful, you will miss them.

In the end, the county's cultural relics department set a unified standard, and some storage rooms and small darkrooms that could not be lived in at all were not counted.

The number of rooms calculated in this way turned out to be 108 as the legend said, which is amazing.

And this also provides a basis for the statement that the ancient house is the secret contact point of the Hong Gang.

Because the 108 rooms may be modeled on the number of 108 heroes in Liangshanbo.

"Water Margin" has always been a model for folk gangs to emulate, and Hongmen is no exception.

Although there is a lot of fog, the ancient house itself is a building that reflects the highest level at that time.

This is also the reason why Chen Wenzhe built this ancient house at that time, because the interior decoration of this ancient house is still very artistic.

There are more than 30 patios in the mansion, the hall is spacious and bright, the doors and windows are hooked and gilded, and the beams and rafters are floating everywhere.

Even the nests of swallows wither into animals of different shapes, which are lifelike.

The bricks used to build the walls are specially made of small pebbles wrapped in field mud, which has good temperature insulation and is warm in winter and cool in summer.

The brick walls are built with glutinous rice mixed with lime, and painted through multiple processes, making them extremely slippery.

The main room, side room, horizontal hall, study room, miscellaneous room, workshop, kitchen and dining room are well arranged.

The wind and fire brick walls stand among them, and the drainage system is designed scientifically. It has been worry-free for more than one hundred years.

Walk out of the house, climb up to a nearby high place, and overlook the entire village. The huge boat-shaped house faces east against the water, surrounded by several ancient houses guarding it, which is quite magnificent.

This is a masterpiece in the history of Chinese architecture. It successfully uses the principle of wind resistance and heat insulation to divide the connected courtyard into several fire safety zones.

This large house with brick and wood structure uses a lot of firewood for heating and cooking.

This highly fire-prone hybrid has remained unscathed for centuries thanks to the use of firewalls.

Especially in the groundwater system of the house, a large amount of domestic sewage and garbage pour out every day.

But for more than 150 years, there has never been a sewer blockage.

All the patios in the house are dry after rain, leaving no stagnant water.

According to the old residents there, the sewer goes directly from the ground to the river below, but there is only a small gap between the ground of the ancient house and the river.

Why has it remained unimpeded for so many years?
People in the village said that after the sewer was built, two giant tortoises were placed in it, and they kept cleaning the dirt flowing from the old house.

Many children in the village have seen these two big turtles when they were playing by the river.

Of course, this is just a mythical legend and cannot be taken seriously.

However, it can also be seen from this how scientific the design of this mansion is.

As for modern urban design, many people think that foreign countries have done well.

...

In fact, good design is all around us, but it lacks national self-confidence.

It turns out that the precious wealth left by our ancestors makes us treat it as if it were nothing, and we are blind to see it.

Chen Wenzhe dare not talk about other ancient technologies, but in terms of architectural design, it can be said that there are many domestic designs that can stand out from the world.

For example, a piece of text that Chen Wenzhe studied when he was a child - Zhaozhou Bridge.

Thousands of years of history have kept this stone arch bridge intact and contributing to mankind.

Zhaozhou Bridge accurately introduced us to this magical ancient bridge.

It opened the door for us to understand the construction of ancient bridges.

Like ancient buildings, although there are many modern office buildings today, they cannot always replace the ancient buildings in our hearts.

The same is true for bridges. The newly built bridges have made great breakthroughs in terms of span length and construction environment, but they cannot replace the unique charm of ancient bridges.

In the whole world, there is no stone arch bridge older than it.

This is mainly due to the wisdom and sweat that the ancients put into building this stone bridge.

Despite such a long period of wind and rain, even the impact of earthquakes, floods and war artillery fire, it has not been defeated, and it still stands on the Ming River.

In fact, many ancient buildings are like this, such as the Guanyin Pavilion standing in the Yangtze River, which has been soaked and washed by the river for many years, and it has not shaken at all.

However, it stood still for thousands of years, but completely "disappeared" 60 years ago. This is the tragedy of Zhaozhou Bridge.

The last restoration was started in 1955 and was completed in 1958.

This is the eighth time that Zhaozhou Bridge has been repaired, and it is also the most comprehensive one.

Only a very small part of the ancient bridge has been preserved, and the rest have been replaced by reinforced concrete slabs.

However, because the structure and style of Zhaozhou Bridge are still modeled after the old bridge, although the appearance of Zhaozhou Bridge has not changed much, it is actually no different from a new bridge.

Due to the lack of the previous ancient charm after the reconstruction, some people feel that the new bridge cannot replace the ancient bridge that has been preserved for thousands of years, and questioned it;
However, there are also people who believe that although Zhaozhou Bridge has a new look, it does not affect its status and image in their hearts.

More importantly, what this bridge brings to everyone is that the superb architectural skills and architectural wisdom of the ancients are a very important achievement in our ancient science and technology.

So is the Zhaozhou Bridge that only has an appearance left, or the Zhaozhou Bridge that has survived the flood for thousands of years?

Can the reinforced concrete structure still support the wind, frost, rain and snow for a thousand years?

Looking at the design of modern cities, every time it rains, waterlogging is serious. Can we still have some confidence?
Fortunately, no one thought about restoring the ancient ship-shaped house.

The most important function of the preserved courtyard of this ancient house is actually to live comfortably, because until now, it has always been the best place to cool off in summer in the village.

At the hottest time of summer, the maximum temperature in the ancient house did not exceed 27 degrees, which was similar to that of an air-conditioned room.

Because whether it is a room or a courtyard in the ancient house, the architectural shape is an upright rectangular shape.

Just like the principle of a chimney, this structure accelerates the flow of air.

What's even more strange is that there are no mosquitoes in the rooms of the ancient house all year round, although the pigsty and paddy fields that are ravaged by mosquitoes are tightly surrounded by the walls of the ancient house.

Such a huge mansion, which symbolized the family foundation, has now become an ownerless house.

In the history of Zhouhu Village, there are few records of dignitaries.

Who made this luxurious mansion built in a small mountain village, and what secrets are hidden behind it?
Not only that, but there are many unusual features in this mansion.
