      南方的农村,大部分家庭的院子后面或者侧面都会有竹子,一方面是因为南方盛产竹子,另一方面是南方人认为竹子可以给家庭带来福气,竹子不但四季常青、韧性强,寓意:“家庭地运势好,儿孙满堂。”
      不过有一点需要了解,就是风水学里,门前一定范围内不能种树和竹子。😁

    Good for you to experience rural life in Zhejiang. My grandparents left such a village in this part of world in their teenage years over 100 years ago. I visited the village about 10 years ago for the very first time. At that moment, I did feel in my heart that I have felt the pulse my root even though I did not know anybody and did not know where to go in the village. I tried my darndest to communicate in broken local dialect. Eventually with village storekeeper's help, I found the house my grandpa built for my great grandfather before WW2. Keep up and let us learn more about experience in such a village.

    Coming home late from work, exhausted. Swiched on the desktop. Here we have, my beloved Katherine, brought me yet again, a breeze of fresh air. All my trouble suddently seemed so far away......😋😍

    It looks like you may have some sort of gourd or pumpkin already growing there at 9:15
    Other things might also start to pop up if one of the neighbours was using the yard to grow things in prior years!
    Edit: There's a belief from India that considers soft rain when it's also sunny as auspicious! (Plus it also means there's a rainbow to be chased nearby!)

    Great video! 🥰 You are living your dream. Thank you for sharing it. This is something I did in my younger years, but in Spain. I am now learning Chinese and would like to visit China someday. It's such a beautiful country and the language so fascinating. Enjoy your life to the fullest and may you always have peace, love, health and wealth. ☺

    You are a few that speak English instead of Chinese in your VLOG. You are in a perfect position as a Chinese ambassador to the Western world. Keep it up, and I love your VLOG because you are so relax, honest, a natural!

    wow, when I first saw your channel you had about 18k subscribers and I loved your content. In one of your vids you said it was a dream of yours to live in a Chinese village and I never forgot that. Now seeing you actually made the move it very surprising and impressive! Wish you all the best and looking forward to your videos!

    Understand why you want to live in a place with such a beautiful view. Bought a house in Fuzhou, not in the countryside but sort of hidden away and got those mountain views 😊

    ❤ A Chinese version of “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Just be aware some season in southern China could be very humid, mold grew on everything. You need to choose rug with right material or maybe put a dehumidifier device in the room.

      Just dry it under the sunshine occasionally will be sufficient, just the old way my mom did.

    • @hangtuah888
      @hangtuah888 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a figment of your imagination. I am from Malaysia and the humidity is stifling, about 80% all year round. Yet things only turn mouldy if left wet and no ventilation. 😮😮😮

    • @jeffycmah
      @jeffycmah ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a reason why people don't use rugs. I also have a place in the rural area, threw out all the wooden furnitures and replaced with stainless steel ones.

    congrats on moving into such a beautiful village. what i like about this village it has mountains and water ( 有山有水 ). i live in the Canadian Prairie, a lot of places have no hills or water. it makes the place much less attractive. love from canada.

    I lived in a village of Hubei Province Shiyan City for 3 years. That was great experience in Liu Li Ping Village. People are living commun lifes. Help each other. Even for some needs they just exchange but not use any money. Great life style for living. Not a stressful big city life. People are merry everyday. 😊
