When you walk into Anhui and wander in the depths of cities and villages, you will often feel the blend and accumulation of history and modernity, especially the ancient towns and old streets, all of which carry long historical memories. , telling countless touching stories. Tongling Langcun, with its long history and dazzling humanities, is an ancient village that interprets legends.
Langcun is located in the south of Jinhua Administrative Village, Datong Town, a suburb. This is an ancient village with a history of more than 600 years. It has beautiful natural scenery and rich humanities and history. As a provincial central village in 2017, Langcun began to create the "Five Ancient" landscapes of ancient handprint walls, ancient wells, ancient boudoirs, ancient wood presses, and ancient ginger pavilions.
There are many ancient buildings in the village. The most famous ancient architectural relics attraction is the ancient handprint wall. It is also the most unique attraction in the village. Tourists who visit must visit this wall. Last test for size.
Looking at the wall, the wall is covered with handprints, just like those formed by martial arts masters in movies and TV series. According to villagers, many ancient buildings in the village used to have handprint walls, but they were later demolished and rebuilt. Currently, only this house is still preserved.
On the city walls of the Ming Dynasty, there would be inscriptions engraved on the manufacturing organization, firstly to prove that the quality of the brick was up to standard, and secondly to facilitate accountability if problems occurred later. In ancient times, only bricks produced by Guanjiao were eligible to bear trademarks and other inscriptions. Bricks produced by Minjiao can only use their own fingerprints as trademarks. There are handprints on the bricks, just like today's shops have passed ISO9001 certification, which is a guarantee of quality.
On the large blue-grey ancient bricks, delicate handprints are clearly visible, arranged in an orderly manner on the wall, very much like those left by heroes practicing martial arts. Compare the handprints on the wall with your own hands. The sizes are almost the same. I have visited many ancient villages and towns, and so far I have only found a handprint wall here. It is very special and rare. I hope this ancient house can be well preserved.
