Introduction:

Speaking of the ancient villages in Jiangnan, I believe everyone is familiar with it. “Small bridges, flowing waters, and people’s houses” have long become the established impression of domestic and foreign tourists on the ancient villages of the ancient town in Jiangnan. Yes, among the many ancient villages in the south of the Yangtze River, we can see their similarities, and when we learn more deeply, there will be new discoveries and new cognitions. There is also an ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River in Tonglu County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It has a history of more than a thousand years. It not only has the architectural style and customs of the ancient village in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has a proud “drainage system”. The first batch of national 3A-level tourist scenic villages in Zhejiang Province, located in the 4A-level scenic Jiangnan ancient village group known as “the first village in the Southern Song Dynasty”-Shenao Ancient Village. In fact, among the many ancient villages in Tonglu, we are most familiar with the national 4A-level scenic spot Jiangnan ancient village group represented by the four villages of “Xufan, Huanxi, Dipu, and Qingyuan”. Among them, Huanxi refers to ” Profound Ancient Village”. For a long time in history, Shenao and Dipu were collectively referred to as “Shenpu”. According to local historical records, Shenao Village was gradually formed and developed when the ancestors of the Shentu family moved to Tongxi in the Southern Song Dynasty. It has been more than a thousand years. Because of its history, it is known as the “first village in the Southern Song Dynasty”. Among the many ancient towns and villages in the south of the Yangtze River, the main reason why Shen’ao Ancient Village is well-known is its unique drainage system, which has been featured in CCTV’s “Faraway Home”. Shenao Ancient Village, an ancient village built because it was close to the Jiaxi River, when the ancestors of the Shentu family were planning the construction of the village, the first and most important link was the planning and construction of the village water system. After a series of construction and improvement, the water system of Shenao Ancient Village has been built into an independent water supply and drainage system consisting of five levels of streams, culverts, open ditch, sills and ponds. The five levels of Shenao Ancient Village seem to exist independently, but in fact they are in emergency contact with each other. The 800-meter concealed canal runs through the entire village, and there is a notch at every other segment, which flows through the front and rear houses of each household, perfect The drainage system can not only fully regulate the ground and underground water resources, but also separate drinking water, domestic water and sewage, and keep the water in a flowing state. This not only reflects an environmental awareness of the use of water resources, but also solves the damage caused by streams and floods and groundwater flooding to the villages of Shenao Ancient Village in the thousand years of history. The Shenao Ancient Village, which is famous for its water system, is precisely because of the foresight of its ancestors. When the village was built a thousand years ago, the creation of such a complete water system also made Shenao Ancient Village free from floods and droughts in the course of the millennium. Infringement, so that the ancient village can preserve the most primitive style. Today, there are more than one hundred ancient buildings in the ancient village of Shen’ao, which has a history of thousands of years. The building area is about 40,000 square meters, of which there are more than 40 Qing Dynasty buildings. The architectural features and customs of the times. Among them, the important ancient buildings that are well-preserved and have a long history include Youxutang, Shennongtang, Huaisutang, Gongsitang, and Huaijingtang. These well-preserved hundreds of ancient buildings and a drainage system that has been used for thousands of years constitute the unique style and characteristics of Shenao Ancient Village, which also makes its reputation as “the first village in the Southern Song Dynasty” well-deserved.
