Meaning of this artwork 

"Whispers of a Timeless Village"

"时光的呢喃 "

Visiting Shirakawa-go felt like stepping into a living storybook. Nestled in the mountains, the village's charm was undeniable. The gassho-zukuri houses, with their steep thatched roofs, seemed like timeless guardians of tradition.

The crisp mountain air and snow-covered rooftops created a magical atmosphere. Wandering through the village, I was captivated by the serene setting, with the gentle murmur of a nearby stream enhancing the tranquility.

A unique detail that stood out was the use of the village’s fresh mountain water. I noticed that locals kept their fish in open drains running through the village, a practical testament to the water’s purity. This charming tradition underscored the village's deep connection to its natural resources.

Shirakawa-go’s blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage left me profoundly moved, making me feel as though I had encountered something truly special and timeless.

参观白川乡就像是走进了一本活生生的故事书。这个坐落在山中的村庄，魅力无可否认。那些有着陡峭茅草屋顶的合掌造房屋，仿佛是守护传统的永恒守卫。

清新的山间空气和雪覆盖的屋顶营造出一种神奇的氛围。在村庄中漫步，我被宁静的环境所吸引，附近溪水的细语增添了这份宁静。

一个特别的细节是村庄使用的新鲜山泉水。我注意到，当地人将鱼放在流经村庄的开口排水沟中，这是一种实际的证明，显示了水的纯净。这一迷人的传统突显了村庄与自然资源的深厚联系。

白川乡自然之美与文化遗产的融合深深打动了我，让我感觉自己遇见了一些真正特别而永恒的东西。
