The terrain around Zhuge Bagua Village is like the bottom of a pot, which is low in the middle and gradually high around. Water from all directions gathers at the bottom of the pot to form a pond, which is the bell pool. Zhongchi is the core of Zhuge Bagua Village and the basic point of Bulie's "Eight Arrays". The clock pool is not big, but this pond has water on one side and ground on the other, just like Taiji in Jiugong Bagua Map, which is wonderful. With Zhongchi as the center, there are eight alleys extending in all directions, leading directly to eight high earth mountains outside the village. The plan looks like eight diagrams. Many narrow alleys are derived from alleys. There are thousands of families in the alleys, dotted with many ancient houses. The alleys near the clock pool are relatively straight, and gradually twists and turns when extending outward, while many alleys are connected vertically and horizontally, like a maze. When an outsider enters an alley, it is often easier to get in than to get out, and even get lost. Interestingly, the descendants of Zhuge Liang who lived in the village for hundreds of years did not realize the wonderful layout of the village. They don't know the shape of gossip in the "eight-array diagram". It was not until the relevant records were found in an old book that the mystery came to light. Now, as long as you climb the dirt mountain outside the town and look down, carefully distinguish it, the shape of the nine palaces and eight diagrams in the whole village will be fully displayed in front of you, and its wonderful and unique layout is amazing. 1993, Mr. Luo, the leader of the National Cultural Heritage Administration expert group and a famous archaeologist, made a field trip to Zhuge Town, and said that the traditional layout of villages and battlements in China includes irregular layout of mountains and rivers and square molding with symmetry axis. The layout of nine palaces and eight diagrams radiating from a center like Zhuge Town is an isolated case in the history of ancient architecture in China, and its great value is self-evident.
There are different opinions on why Zhuge Town is so laid out. Some people think that this layout is a copy of Zhuge Liang's "Eight Arrays", which was designed by Zhuge Liang's descendants according to the essence of Zhuge Liang's array law. This is not only a special commemoration of ancestors, but also a disguised preservation of Zhuge Liang's "Eight Arrays". Although Zhuge's descendants are not addicted to the struggle for power and profit, they have a strong sense of combat readiness. This layout is conducive to dealing with the invading enemy from all directions in the clock pool, which invisibly increases the assurance of winning. Wait, there are different opinions, and so on. Perhaps, with the continuous discovery of new data, this problem can be completely solved in the near future.
Zhuge Town is not only unique in layout, but also rare in ancient houses. According to relevant records, this town was built in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and later generations continued to build and transform it, reaching its peak in the Qing and Kang Dynasties. More than 200 ancient buildings of Ming and Qing dynasties have been preserved in the town, scattered in the streets and alleys of the town. They are primitive and antique. It is said that there are all kinds of ancestral halls 18 at the peak of the town, most of which are carved with beams and painted with exquisite craftsmanship. The existing Grand Court and Prime Minister's Temple are among the best.
For a long time, people after Zhuge lived in Zhuge town, forming some unique lifestyles, which were simple and interesting. Walking in the town, the whole town is no exception.
Most of the gates of residential houses are made of iron.
Zhuge's descendants inherited the fine tradition of Zhuge Liang, the ancestor of Zhuge Liang, who was diligent in learning, proficient in business, outstanding in people and talented in large numbers. According to legend, Zhuge Liang once had an old saying, "Be a good doctor if you don't want to be a good doctor", and Zhuge Liang is the first good doctor in the ages, and future generations can't cross it, so Zhuge Liang's descendants don't care about their career, but concentrate on studying medicine.
Zhuge Town was originally a famous historical and cultural village in Lanxi City. From 65438 to 0996, Zhuge Town as a whole was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
Nowadays, Zhuge Town has long been well-known, and many history lovers and tourists from home and abroad come from all directions, and the Millennium ancient town is full of vitality.
Zhuge Bagua Village, because of its connection with Zhuge Liang, the legend of the Three Kingdoms, has attracted many tourists at home and abroad with its unique humanistic and historical background. Zhuge Bagua Village is located in Lanxi City, Zhejiang Province, 7.5km west of the urban area/kloc-0. National Highway 330 passes through the east of the village, and the provincial highway leading to Longyou and Quzhou passes through the north. Zhuge Bagua Village takes Zhongchi as the core, forming a natural external gossip, and there are more than 200 well-preserved ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Zhuge Bagua Village is located in the mountains of Lanxi City, central and western Zhejiang Province. According to textual research, the village was built by Zhuge Liang, the 27th Sun in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty. It has a history of more than 600 years and is still well preserved. It is a new place for people to visit ancient times. The village is surrounded by eight hills, the distribution of which looks like gossip, forming an external gossip; The buildings and streets in the village extend in all directions. "Zhongchi" is located in the center, like the fish diagram of Yin and Yang in Taiji, and eight alleys radiate outward, forming an inner gossip.
Zhuge Liang's 14th Sun Zhuge Li (AD 952) sent an envoy to Yin Shan (Shaoxing) and later served as the county magistrate of Shou Chang. He died in Shou Chang. His son moved from Shou Chang to the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Xiqiao, Lanxi, and spread to the 27th Zhuge Master (1280). Due to the narrow location of the original site, he found Gaolonggang with unique terrain, spent a lot of money to buy land from Wang Xing, and built the village according to the layout of Jiugong Bagua, the ancestor of Zhuge Liang. Since then, descendants of Zhuge Liang have gathered in Sri Lanka to spread their melons. By the second half of the Ming Dynasty, a village with unique architecture, large population and huge scale had been formed. The layout and structure of the village are clear, and there are many high-quality halls and houses. The ancestral hall is large in scale and unique in structure. Wood carving, brick carving and stone carving of various buildings are exquisite in craftsmanship, luxurious in architecture and rich in structure. The total area of ancient buildings is over 60,000 square meters. The terrain in the village is undulating, and the layout of ancient buildings is reasonable, with ups and downs. Ponds in the village are sparkling, bamboo and wood are lush, and alleys crisscross. The village landscape is diverse and beautiful, that is, there are rows of ancient buildings and ancient commercial centers built around the pond, and the whole village has formed a rich and unified whole. Experts and scholars call it "a model of traditional ancient villages and ancient houses in the south of the Yangtze River". It is an ancient village with the best protection, the largest group, the most unified type and the deepest cultural connotation in China. 1996, Zhuge Village was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit by the State Council.
