No one who has been to Sanliao knows the “hanging wall patio”, which is the location of a famous Feng Shui building.
“Hanging wall patio”, located in the south of sanliaowei across the river from Yang Gongci of Zeng family, is one of the ancestral temples of Zeng’s long house, called “ruowen hall”, which is also one of the most typical Feng Shui cases in Liaoxi culture.
According to the old man, “Ruo Wen Tang” has struck the gate countless times on rainy days, and the more the thunder hits, the more prosperous the door is, the louder the thunder is, the more noble the talents are. According to the genealogy of the Zeng family in Sanliao, the famous national teachers Zeng Luoshan and Zeng Yongzhang came from this ancestral hall. Are you surprised?
It is said that the “ruowen hall” was built in the Ming Dynasty and was presided over by Zeng qiaoshi, a Ming teacher in Sanliao Zengwu village at that time. He deliberately designed the whole house as a strange shape of carp belly turning, so it is called “ruowen hall” with “hanging wall patio”, also known as “carp belly turning fish shape”.
If the architectural structure of “ruowen hall” is described by the word “strange saliva”, it is not too much. Now I’d like to share with you some of its most bizarre places:
First of all, the ancestral hall does not open the central gate but the side gate. It is said that during the construction of the ancestral hall, master Zeng Ming explained to his owner that opening the middle gate is bad for the long house, which will make the long house lose people. The owner said that the long house is the most filial, and sincerely asked master Zeng ming to find a way to prevent the long house from becoming a queen. Master Zeng Ming is compassionate and doesn’t have the heart to be an excellent long house. In order to save the long house, after repeated consideration, he suggested that it was best to open the side door, and said that there was a large flat in front of the door and a large pond outside the flat. Looking from a distance, there was a beautiful peak in front, which could not only seek good luck and avoid bad luck, but also be better for the long house, but also produce great scholars. The owner was very pleased to hear that the houses were good and that they could produce literati. Later, he also made a couplet in the hall: “the weather updates the continuous world, and now it still shines with humanity”, hoping that future generations can have more scholars.
Secondly, the ancestral hall is closed on three sides. The two rows of wing rooms on both sides of the ancestral hall and the back row of wing rooms form a rectangle, which closes the three sides of the ancestral hall. The corridor between the wing room and the gable of the ancestral hall is paved with pebbles, which makes the appearance of carp spawning, symbolizing the prosperity of people. The three wing rooms are so connected that they form a square house with momentum and scale.
Of course, the most distinctive feature of the ancestral hall is the “hanging wall patio”. There are two patios in the ancestral hall. The upper patio is in the middle of the upper seat of the ancestral hall, which is basically the same as the ordinary patio. The blame lies in the courtyard of the lower block, which is designed in the middle of the gable, where the gate should have been opened. This patio has only three sides, and the front is replaced by a wall. This is the most famous “wall hanging patio” in Sanliao village, which means hanging the patio on the wall. The gable on the other side of the patio is also very high. Looking from inside to outside, it completely obscures the line of sight in front. On this gable, two pairs of swallowtail walls are arranged very symmetrically. At the top of the wall, there is a sculpture called “Chi kiss” of fish body faucet. It is said that the ninth son of the nine sons of the dragon in ancient times was “Chi kiss”. It can swallow mountains and eat the sea. It has a great spirit. Therefore, people often like to use it to avoid evil spirits and suppress evil spirits when making animal head decoration on the roof.
The ancestral hall sits in the direction of Kun Gen and Shen Yin Xiang. It sits in the Xin Chou Jidu sub gold, opens the Jiamen and closes the Mao water hall. Since ancient times, the gate of this ancestral hall has been struck by lightning for many times, and after each lightning strike, the population is more prosperous, and there will be famous dignitaries. People in Liaoxi say that there is a stress here, which is called “the more thunder hits, the more carp seeds”. The consciousness is that once thunder hits carp, they lay eggs, symbolizing the prosperity of the population. Now, the population of the Zeng family’s house branch in Liaoxi is indeed very strong. There are about 3000 people in the long house alone.
“Hanging wall patio” is like a literary hall, and the lightning stroke is more and more prosperous. In recent years, many international masters of Yi ology and lovers of Feng Shui have come here one after another in order to see its true face and explore the essence of its architectural Feng Shui. As one of the classic Feng Shui cases of Liaoxi culture, the Feng Shui mystery of “hanging wall patio” actually has many mysteries.
