我们之前去看项目地理...

我们之前去看项目地理位置的时候，因为所在位置都在山峦附近，所以有一条路是一直沿着往上爬的，途中会经过一个小型风景区。

这个地方因为是县里的风景区，等级比较低，感觉那些仿古式建筑做得也比较简单。在深山老林里能看到红砖黛瓦的老建筑，门旁的对联韵味十足。

而且在建筑物两边的门口，还被这里住着的人种了一些荷叶。不过这时候荷花已经谢了，只能看到荷叶。

建筑物里面陈列着当地的一些历史记载资料。比如说有《远安县志》这类书籍，记录了1979年到2005年的事情。

还有一些是当地资深历史考古研究者写的著作，其中最多的是《古建筑民居勘测设计图集选》。这本书挺厚的，翻开一看，不禁感叹传统古建筑的精妙之处。

其实现在大学里的建筑学和土木工程专业，讲的基本都是现代房屋建筑。像以前老祖宗的古建筑，那些榫卯结构和木质结构的技艺，基本上已经失传了。

就算建筑系里会讲到古建筑这门课，也基本上是草草带过，根本看不到对这一学问的深入研究。

感觉古代匠人们的心血正在慢慢流逝，这一点还是挺让人惋惜的。

这个小景区的门票不贵，只要10块钱，不过里面的东西确实不多。还看到有抽签的，抽一次也要10块钱。我们只是路过看了一下，我从来不相信这些，所以没去抽。

当时白天太阳很大，非常热。在那个阁楼里坐着时，明显感觉里面比外面阴凉很多，特别是把两扇红木门打开后，会有阵阵山风往里吹，这风特别凉爽，可比空调风舒服多了。我们同行的几个同事在这里小坐了一会儿，聊了聊天。上山容易下山难，一想到一会儿还要辛苦地爬下山去，就有点犯怵。

When we went to check out the project location earlier, since it was in a mountainous area, we had to keep climbing up a road, which took us past a small scenic spot.

As a county-level scenic area, it wasn’t very developed, and even the ancient-style buildings there looked quite simple. Nestled in the deep mountains and old forests, those red-brick and black-tile structures had couplets by their doors that carried a strong classical charm.

Near the entrances on both sides of the buildings, the locals had planted some lotus leaves. By then, though, the lotus flowers were already gone, leaving only the leaves behind.

Inside the buildings, there were displays of local historical records. For instance, there were books and materials like Yuan’an County Chronicles, which documented events from 1979 to 2005.

There were also works by senior local historians and archaeologists. The most prominent among them was Selected Survey and Design Drawings of Ancient Residences, a thick book. Flipping through it, I couldn’t help but marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional ancient architecture.

In fact, modern architecture and civil engineering programs in universities today mostly focus on contemporary buildings. Time-honored techniques like mortise-and-tenon joints and wooden structures, passed down by our ancestors, have almost been lost.

Even if ancient architecture is covered in architecture courses, it’s usually just a quick mention, with no in-depth study of this knowledge.

It’s really a shame to see the wisdom and skills of ancient Chinese craftsmen fading away.

The ticket for this small scenic spot was cheap, only 10 yuan, but there wasn’t much to see. We also noticed a fortune-telling booth where drawing a lot cost 10 yuan. We just passed by and took a look—I’ve never believed in such things, so I didn’t try it.

It was a scorching day with intense sun. Sitting in that pavilion, though, it was noticeably cooler inside than out. Especially when the two red wooden doors were opened, gusts of mountain wind would blow in, refreshing and much more pleasant than air conditioning. A few of my colleagues and I sat there for a while, chatting. It’s easier to climb up a mountain than to come down, and just thinking about having to struggle back down later made us a bit reluctant.
