travel starts with photography

The shape of this village is really interesting. Looking down from a high place, you can see that the village is round like a millstone, dotted with emblem-style buildings with white walls and black tiles, and the houses of different heights are scattered like plum blossoms. It has a unique beauty that is different from other villages.

The outside of the village is surrounded by a circle of streams, and outside it is a circle of good asphalt roads.

The roads in Wuyuan are quite good. From the city to these small towns and villages, they are basically asphalt or cement roads.If anyone comes here and walks on a dirt road, a dirt road, or a small road, he has to think about whether he is going the wrong way like Chen Xing

But it's not wrong, anyway, he also came here.

"Who the hell built this?"

He was curious.

What does a village do to build such a circle, Feng Shui?

When Chen Xing walked to the side of the village, he realized that this place was not a circle surrounded by water, but only the side that Chen Xing faced before was round, which could be seen from another angle. It's a mountain.

That's right, if the village only had this part in the middle of the circle, then there would be too few people living here.

"Of course it was built by our ancestors." Said the old man in front of Chen Xing.

When Chen Xing saw him before, he was still weeding in the field outside, and then he and Chen Xing walked into the village one after the other, and when they heard Chen Xing's question, they subconsciously spoke up.

People who live here are used to seeing tourists from outside, so they don't have the xenophobic thinking like other closed villages.

In fact, Chen Xing was just talking to himself.

But he just picked up the conversation and asked: "Then uncle, what is the meaning of this repair?"

If the stream can naturally flow in such a circle, it would be amazing. Therefore, whether it is the village or the water, they are all artificially built. Now it only depends on the age of his construction and what is the significance.

"Meaning, Feng Shui, right?" The old man pointed to the village and said,

"Our village is surrounded by mountains, which can not only store the wind and absorb energy, but also gather precious energy here. It also means "there is a mountain behind", which can gather blessings and extend to future generations. Facing the water in front means "there is water in front of the hall". , Feng Shui pays attention to the fact that there is water in front of the hall is good, water is wealth, our ancestors probably hoped that we could get rich, hehe, this is what I said casually, it is not a feudal superstition."

Chen Xing smiled and shook his head.

The wisdom of Chinese people is very high, and sometimes many things cannot be explained by science.

Just like Chinese medicine, you may call it unscientific, but it can cure diseases, and in many difficult diseases, Chinese medicine is more curative than Western medicine.

Isn't medicine all about curative effects?

Therefore, even though Feng Shui is sometimes unscientific, it may have its own set of theories just like Chinese medicine.

"The old man understands this?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand, it's what the elders said, so I just listened and wrote it down, and listened to it as a story."

At this time, the two also walked to the village along the bridge. When Chen Xing saw a hotel, he parted ways with the old man.

I was delayed a little on the road today, and it was a little late to come here.

But still have to take pictures.

Because the architectural pattern here is really unique.

After putting the things away, Chen Xing went out with two lenses and walked towards the mountain where he came. He had found a good composition before, and he just waited for the sun to set for a while, and used the setting sun to realize his idea.

While walking out, Chen Xing saw a plaque on the road.

There are many plaques in ancient villages and towns in the south, some new and some old, but the one Chen Xing sees now is different. The plaque has the words "Loyalty and Unswerving". Judging from the quality of the plaque, it is definitely something that happened hundreds of years ago.

There is also a wooden plaque that is bigger than him and weighs more than a hundred catties, and it says Huangge Diaoyuan.

Huangge Tiaoyuan is not a simple brand.

Chen Xing saw a lot of brands in Chenjiacun before, including the number one scholar and the first class, and a sixth Jinshi... These are all representative of the Chen family's distinguished family demeanor and literati style for thousands of years, while Huangge Tiaoyuan is an official. It can only be owned after reaching the prime minister, which means to ascend to the position of prime minister and take over the power of the world.

This kind of thing is generally not written by oneself, but given by the emperor.

Don't you want to live if you dare to do this kind of thing?

Chen Xing saw that the surrounding houses were equipped with surveillance cameras to watch here, and there were still people blocking the entrance of the ancestral hall to prevent tourists from approaching, but there was no problem taking pictures, and some people even broadcasted live at the entrance.

He also looked closer.

Sure enough, I saw the introduction at the left door of the ancestral hall.

These two plaques are related to a man named He Ruchong in the late Ming Dynasty, and the plaques were also given to him by Emperor Chongzhen.Although that era may not be very good, it is not easy to be able to achieve the position of prime minister.

Another centuries-old family.

Amazing.

No wonder it used to be said that clans are prevalent in the south, and people in other regions pay more attention to clans and returning to their families.Chen Xing didn't quite understand it before, but now he understands the situation in these villages.

Looking for an angle to take two photos, Chen Xing continued to walk outside the village.

You can watch the situation in the village at night, but the sunset only comes once a day. If you miss it, you don’t know what the weather will be tomorrow.

This time in the town happened to be the rush hour for get off work, and the roads were generally blocked, but in the village, there was no sound of horns... He was thinking about living in the village again.

But it seems that it is not easy to buy land now.

Having found a good location before arriving, Chen Xing set up the camera on a tripod, and then sat down on a rock.

Wait, now.

Looking at the time, it was already past five o'clock, and Chen Xing was now waiting for the sunset to enter his viewfinder frame.

He is now using a symmetrical composition. There are mountains on the left and right in the viewfinder, making the flat land in the middle a U shape. This is a natural symmetrical composition.Then there is a circular village in the middle, and you can't see the back of the village, you can only see the circle.

The stream reflects the village a little bit, but not quite.

we can only do this.

Sometimes it is impossible to achieve a perfect composition, because you can't dig out the mountain to put the camera in, and you can't expand the stream to show the complete reflection of the village.

All the photographer can do is to find the right angle as much as possible.

But this is beautiful enough.

Generally speaking, this kind of terrain would be foggy, but today there was no fog. The sky above the village was very blue, and the clouds were very large, which made Chen Xing even want to go out at night to take pictures of the starry sky.

You can imagine what it would be like to shoot a night-time delay at the same angle now.

Mountains, villages, and water will definitely not change. Only the sky will change. The dark sky and stars are constantly rotating, just like a flowing curtain on the stage.

After drinking a little drink, I observed the sun that had not yet set in the distance.

Anyway, let's take a picture of the current scene first.

There are also tourists around who have been looking for angles. After seeing Chen Xing here, they smiled at Chen Xing and looked at the viewfinder of Chen Xing's camera.

"Hey! You can do it from this angle."

He quickly took out his camera and looked at it, but he couldn't take pictures of the mountains on both sides, and he could only see the edge of the village on both sides of the viewfinder, with a little bit of the river at most.

The tourist looked at the picture in Chen Xing's camera in surprise, and asked, "What is the focal length of your lens?"

"21." Chen Xing said.

"Is 21 that big?" He studied it again, and suddenly saw Hasselblad on the camera.

This is -- well, is this the difference between a medium format camera and a full frame camera?

He used a Nikon 24-70 lens, but it looks twice as small as Chen Xing's in the picture, and it really is what you get for what you pay for.

Chen Xing pointed to the road in the distance and said: "You can take pictures of the village by the river, the reflection and the sunset are also very beautiful, I think you can try it. But hurry up, the shooting time by the river is shorter than here It’s early on the mountain.”

He looked at the equipment Chen Xing was carrying, nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."

Young mages should listen more to old mages, and although Chen Xing looks young, this set of equipment is definitely professional.

The sun seemed to be setting faster and faster.

Einstein's theory of relativity is so good that when waiting for the sun to set, everyone felt that time passed so slowly.But the sky began to turn red, and when the sunset was in place, all the photographers who took pictures of the sunset here felt that time passed too fast.

Chen Xing is convinced of this point, anyway, he will not move anyway.

At this moment, there are at least seven or eight photographers on this mountain. Except for Chen Xing, there are two people who have not moved. They probably have found their most satisfactory angle and are waiting to enter their composition position.

But everyone else is running around hoping to win by volume.

It was more than six o'clock.

The sun has also reached the middle of Chen Xing's viewfinder, and now everything in the screen is symmetrical, and there is a symmetrical half on the left and right of the middle line.

There are villages and mountains in the stream, and the left and right sides are also symmetrical.

The sun was directly above, and the red color smudged the entire sky.

The sunset is really beautiful.

Chen Xing's stomach growled, and he took a photo he liked again, so he put away his camera and walked towards the village. As soon as he left, someone ran to his place to find a composition. He saw the symmetrical house and the right place The sunset, as well as those clouds, nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough, you can always find some fun in taking pictures when you go to other people's composition points.

There are fewer tourists in this village than the previous one, but you can occasionally meet them on the road, and the village also has the most indispensable commercial street in the ancient town.

After all, these villages don't charge tickets, so that's what they earn.

Chen Xing found a noodle restaurant for dinner.

He quite likes to eat rice noodles here. The rice noodles in Jiangxi are different from those in Sichuan and Guangxi, but the taste is still very good, very spicy.

Jiangxi rice noodles, if you say you want it spicy, they will really put chili in the bowl as if it is free of money.

This store is.

Chen Xing ordered a bowl of extra-spicy rice noodles... It's not that he has become particularly spicy, but that this restaurant only has mild, extra-spicy, and abnormally spicy.

Slightly spicy Chen Xing felt that it might be a little inappropriate. If it was abnormally spicy, Chen Xing thought about the taste of Jiangxi people and felt that he might not be able to bear it, so he ordered extra spicy.

By the time the dish arrived it was a whole bowl of bright red peppers.

Generally speaking, fresh chili is the hottest, but it is also the freshest. He knows that the rice noodles are under the chili.

Instead of eating with chopsticks, he took out his mobile phone and took a picture and posted it in Moments, saying: "Jiangxi's special dish, cold and fresh chili, old rules, friends eat first!"

Only then did Chen Xing pick up his chopsticks and start to smash the noodles.

It’s best not to put too much spicy on the noodles. Too much chili will affect the taste of the noodles, but the noodles are different. Even if you put twice as much chili, it will not affect the taste of the noodles. Spicy and addictive.

There are more and more messages in the circle of friends.

Song Shulan: /Lustful and want to eat, where are you, I can come to you.

Zhou Peng: I am moving bricks at the construction site, and you are traveling and drinking spicy food. Both of us are bosses. Why can you live so well?What are you eating, hurry up and express it to me. @宋淑兰, what did you ask him for?Come to me, your brother and I will take you to eat hot pot.

Chen Xing rolled his eyes at Zhou Peng.

Song Shulan does have time now, she is already on vacation.

For Principal Zhang, this year's girls' high school is still annihilated, but this "annihilation" means that no one went to Qingbei, but there were many people in the previous one. Song Shulan often hid and secretly played with her mobile phone, but when she arrived The last surprise period of time, still on a book.

Sichuan Normal University, Longquan Campus.

Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart.No matter, let's eat first.

I thought of shooting time-lapse before, so I won’t sleep tonight, and I can sleep for two hours during the day tomorrow.

After eating this meal, Chen Xing bought a bottle of yogurt at the canteen on the road and drank it while walking to the hotel where he was staying, his expression normal.

He adapts very quickly to food everywhere, even in Africa.

How long has it been since he arrived in Jiangxi? Chen Xing felt that he could get used to this kind of spicy food, and he could think about the effect of abnormally spicy food when eating in the future.

Back in the room, I took thick clothes and two batteries in the backpack.

That is to say, he doesn't have a tent, otherwise he would have to take one out, and he would take pictures of the stars while resting at night.

As soon as I walked out of the hotel with these things, it started to rain outside.

The owner of the hotel was quite happy. When he saw that Chen Xing was about to go out, he reminded him: "Are you going out? There is a red rainstorm warning tonight. I think you should stay in the room."

"Is there going to be a heavy rain tonight?"

The boss nodded and said:

"Well, it hasn't rained here for a long time. I heard that Poyang Lake is dry this year. I don't know what will happen next. By the way, where are you going? If you buy For things, we also have some snacks in the store, and the barbecue is opposite."

"no need."

Can't take pictures of the starry sky...

Chen Xing was a little disappointed, he still wanted to use his knowledge as an astronomer.

Other photographers have to rely on star maps to take pictures of the starry sky, but he just looks up at the sky, where the stars are, and what the direction of the starry sky will look like tonight, he will know immediately.

pity.

Shortly after returning to the room, it was raining heavily.

The thunder was rumbling, and the wind was also very strong. The villages in this depression could feel the ruthlessness of the wind. The billboard outside the hotel was blown away in Chen Xing's eyes. The tile fell to the ground with a bang.

There is a saying in the land of China that after a severe drought, there must be a flood. Disasters are never a single one, but come one after another.

For example, this year's weather, if placed in ancient times, would definitely be another disaster that can be recorded in history books.

How would they write it?

In August 2022, there will be floods after three months of severe drought in the south, and the suffering will be counted?
