马元古村,云峰深处的“活标本”

Old Village in the Deep of Mountains

在大别山腹地的安徽省岳西县黄尾镇云峰村,完整地保存着一个传统自然村落——马元。古建筑、古村落研究专家认为,无论从民居民俗,还是从生产生活方式看,马元都是大别山区农耕文化活态传承的典例,因其具备系统、完整、纯粹与可持续等特点而弥足珍贵。

The ancient Mayuan Village, is an exemplary case of the well-preserved farming culture heritage in Dabie Mountain. As one poem goes, " When seeking the traces of old times, I see big river running under the lush tree shadows, at the foot of the mountain stand a long-standing adobe, where butterflies are sniffing at the lichens on the worn-out walls made of black tiles and a pine tree safeguards the haystack piled up by the wooden bars."
