AvonkingselyYutang Village, the "breathe village" growing in the foothills of Dabie Mountain, southern Henan Province. The green brick courtyard wall is covered with loofah vines, the carved door downstairs is stone milling and flowing, the century-old saponi tree supports the jasmine umbrella, and the lotus pond is like a jasper puzzle embedded in the tile room. There is no antique decoration here, only the bones of the southern henan houses with thatched earth walls, bamboo fences around the vegetable basket, firewood edges with snoring yellow dogs. Life aesthetics shine in the details: old stonesmiths use river pebbles to build wavy courtyard walls, village women in the stream to tie and dye blue cloth, autumn pepper corn on the roof spread oil painting blocks. The most moving place is the daily theater of the villagers - the children on the lotus pond trestle bridge chasing the children, the tea stall old man with the purple sand spout out white gas, the sunset will return the farmer's silhouette on the clay wall. When the smoke and the fragrance of lotus leaves porridge overflowed across the stone arch bridge, you knew what it was "sample of rural revitalization": the beauty of the hall, not in the exquisite specimen style, but in the pig humming and chicken crowing, in every moss, every scar, there is the warmth of time pulp.
