李坑村风光，江西省上饶市婺源县秋口镇所在。从婺源县城出发，约30分钟车程即可抵达。群山环抱，这里的古村静谧又安详。村口高大的牌坊镌刻“李坑”，进村一条清澈小溪如墨笔画中桥流水人家。
溪流是李坑的特色，街巷贯通九曲十弯，或明或隐，或宽或窄，唯一相同的是清澈见底：能游鳞鱼查水草叶瓣。一名农妇浣洗背影被涟漪开去，如一幅画。溪边古树荫凉，一些竹排像随意泼墨点。有水有桥，每座桥材因地制宜石、木、砖数十座，将民居揽怀中。
肩锹荷担过桥，是石板走赏景：徽派建筑层次感鳞次栉比；檐下灯笼喜庆味道；简易筏子吱呀摇过欸乃声声给古韵增添几分；青山雾气与跨桥相映成趣。在这里喝茶，每座小桥两岸茶楼，一帘幌、一桌、一壶、一椅便是一家茶楼的惬意。
李坑自古文风鼎盛，从宋至清仕官富贾百人，有“一门九进士六部尚书”盛事。这间巨贾名流留下的财富不仅是眼前的徽派建筑，更有与众不同的胸襟：高宅削角对邻影响，不让屋角过长，就像桐城六尺巷，让三尺又何妨？楹联写照这种胸怀：“世事让三分天宽地阔心存一点子种孙耕”。
朋友说这是江西代表的小桥流水人家，我恰好向往于诗意生活，便驱车前往。一望之下，小bridge、flowing water和people; sky and cloud; wall, brick, tile architecture. The villagers carry shoulder yokes and bamboo baskets on the bridges, stepping on stone slabs while admiring the scenery: row upon row of well-preserved ancient houses in a variety of architectural styles with layers of depth; red lanterns hung from the eaves add a festive atmosphere to the otherwise tranquil village scene. Simple wooden boats glide under the bridges, their creaking sounds blending with those of birdsong to create an enchanting harmony. The mist-shrouded mountains across the bridge complement its beauty.
It is impossible to visit Li Keng without drinking tea. Every pair of footbridges has at least one or two teahouses - one awning, one stone table, one teapot, and several wicker chairs - providing a cozy retreat for visitors to sit back and enjoy their tea amidst the serene surroundings.
Li Keng's fame extends back through centuries as a center for literary talent from Song to Qing dynasties when officials and wealthy merchants resided there in abundance. Today still visible are signs such as "Changrong Wan Dai" (Everlasting Prosperity) hanging above some houses.
The village's unique tradition is evident in its buildings which have been preserved over time. Each house reflects local craftsmanship in woodcarvings and masonry workmanship that reveals mastery over various techniques like intricate patterns carved into walls or subtle details adorning doorways.
From Ming Dynasty onwards residents built their homes along riverside paths where they could gaze out onto natural landscapes while working within these beautifully designed spaces inspired by traditional Chinese architecture principles called "Fang Shan" (Mountain Face). These designs showcase how nature can be harmoniously integrated into human dwellings creating perfect balance between functionality & aesthetics!
