Tang model

ginkgo tree. More than 1300 years ago, the tree is still evergreen after many vicissitudes, forming the Tang model of "the luxuriant ancient trees of Tang Dynasty".

Tan Gan yuan. It is the most well preserved Huizhou style Shuikou garden in Huizhou area. It was built in the early Qing Dynasty. The pavilions and pavilions in the garden were built in the pattern of Hangzhou West Lake, so it is also called "Little West Lake", forming the Tang model of "the beauty of Shuikou garden".

The Huaiyin tree is the east gate of the Tang model. I will go back to the west gate of the scenic spot and take a bus to Tangyue memorial archway group and Baojia garden. Tangmo is 5km away from Tangyue memorial archway group and Baojia garden. You can stop cars on the highway. If it's 7 kilometers from Shexian county to Tangyue memorial archway group and Baojia garden, you can take No.2 bus in the county, with 2 yuan for each person and 30 yuan for a taxi.

There are seven archways in the archway group, which is the most famous archway in ancient Huizhou. The archway centered on the word "Yi", which was arranged from two ends to the middle in the order of loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness in feudal society.

Of the seven archways, three were built in the Ming Dynasty and four in the Qing Dynasty. The three Ming Fang are Bao can Fang, cixiaoli Fang and Bao Xiangxian Shangshu Fang.

The four Qing archways are Bao Wenling's wife's Day filial piety archway, Bao Shufang's father and son's good fortune archway, Bao Fuyuan's Day filial piety archway and Bao Yunchang's filial son archway. Each archway has a story. When Qianlong went down to Jiangnan, Tangyue village was once known as "the first town in Jiangnan for its filial piety.".

One by one, seven archways cross the stone road in the countryside, forming a unique landscape.

There are two ancestral halls beside the memorial archways. One is "dunben hall", commonly known as men's temple. The other is Bao's ancestral hall, also known as Qingyi hall, commonly known as female ancestral hall. Female ancestral hall breaks the old rule of "women do not enter ancestral hall", which is rare in China.

There are also some ancient buildings in Tangyue village, such as cunai hall, baoai hall, etc.
