【Historical Live Broadcast】Watching videos and being seen by our ancestors

[Once again I was shocked by the wisdom of the ancients]

[I thought Huangshan was completely destroyed due to continuous rainfall]

【I didn’t expect there was such a place】

【Because of the unique location】

【Reasonable design and super strong drainage system】

[Maintaining its usual appearance in the midst of continuous heavy rain]

[The entire village of Hongcun is a cow-shaped building, and the two century-old trees at the west gate represent the cow's horns]

[Yuesuma is a natural spring representing the cow's stomach]

[The ditches in front of every household are made of cow intestines]

[The houses representing the body of an ox form an entire village]

[For hundreds of years, Hongcun has not had a fire, has avoided wars, and has experienced floods, but it is still safe and sound]

[What’s even more amazing is that it can automatically adjust during droughts to ensure the normal life of the villagers]

[During the flood season, the water can be drained quickly to protect the village from being eroded by heavy rain and floods]

[It was Hu Chongniang, the wife of the Hongcun village chief, who proposed these designs]

[She used her wisdom and knowledge to design a complete drainage system for Hongcun, which is still in use today]

[After hundreds of years, it has been blessing future generations until today]

[Because of this, she became the only woman in that era to have her portrait hung in the Hongcun Ancestral Hall]

"You can tell from a guess that Xidi and Hongcun have a great drainage system. I've learned about it in history."

"I was really surprised when I saw Hu Chongniang's portrait. In my impression, how could a portrait of an ancient woman be hung in an ancestral hall? Later I learned that in ancient times men went out to do business, but she, a woman, supported a large family and managed the household business. What shocked me the most was that she was proficient in the Book of Changes. It was really amazing [tears]"

"Hu Chongniang, while her husband is away, she manages the family well."

"The tour guide said that women were not allowed to enter the family's meeting place before, but it was Hu Chongniang who changed it [tears] It was amazing"

"My scalp tingles after listening to this. My wise and charming female ancestor is really amazing [lick the screen][lick the screen][lick the screen][lick the screen]"

Other officials who are good at water management: This design is very practical!

I wonder if other places can learn from this? I feel like a lot of places need better drainage ditches.

I don’t know if the woman named Hu Chongniang is here with us. It seems like I want to go and discuss some water conservancy issues with her.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

After Hu Chongniang, who had just married into Hongcun, encountered the first flood in Hongcun, she began to have the idea of ​​building a drainage system here.

After finally convincing the Wang clan of her family and the village's highly respected Feng Shui master He Keda, she, who was already fully familiar with the village, began to rearrange the layout.

Although she had difficulty walking due to her "three-inch golden lotus" bound feet, she still endured the pain and accompanied Mr. He on trips to survey mountains and rivers and conduct field investigations and research when her husband was away as an official, just to obtain accurate data.

After ten years of hard work, we finally completed the overall design plan of bringing water from Xixi River into the village and building a cow-shaped village.

At first, some people in Hongcun did not understand her efforts, and some even sneered at her even if they did.

I feel that it is impossible for a mere woman to achieve such an achievement. It is obvious that it is just word of mouth and fabricated!

Until Tianmu released her story, the people of Hongcun suddenly became curious, amazed, and grateful towards Hu Chongniang, the "female designer" of their village. Although there were some individual voices of doubt, they had long been drowned out by the heated discussions among the public.

No wonder we had such severe floods in the past few months this year. The water level dropped so quickly, I thought it was a miracle from the gods!

How could gods have the ability to bring you good weather and harvest every year?

Even if you were a god's biological son, he wouldn't be so good to you!

I've never thought it was the village chief's wife who did it. No wonder I saw a woman hanging around here every day. I even gossiped about her. Now that I think about it, I'm damned!

Then you really deserve to die, you are such a bad guy, now you cursed the wrong person!

Hey, hey, hey, it’s all my fault for my bad mouth. I’m going to go back and slap her in the face and then take a gift to apologize to Mrs. Hu.

I want to go too. I want to go too. Mrs. Hu saved the crops in our field. From now on, the fields will not be flooded. What's the difference between this and the living god in heaven who controls the weather and harvests?

We in Hongcun have our own goddess!

Those who were so excited that they didn't know what to do ran to Wang's mansion to express their gratitude to the man who had done a favor to their Hongcun Village. They wanted to see the benefactor who had helped them.

Some people who have children often tell their children the story of Hu Chongniang, with the original intention of letting their children express their gratitude to Hu Chongniang.

However, by some strange coincidence, the women in the family gradually developed admiration for this intelligent wife of the village chief. Some even regarded her as their role model, inspiring themselves to become outstanding women like her.
