Wushi Village is situated in the northwest of Daji and lies in the higher northern part while sloping down to the south. In 2010, it had 1,280 mu of arable land, 2,112 mu of forest, and 1,147 mu of economic forest. The village comprised 16 villager groups, with a total of 984 households and 3,398 residents.

Located in the northwest of Daji, Wushi Village features flat terrain, fertile soil, a mild climate, abundant rainfall, and plentiful water resources. Most of its farmland is protected against both drought and flooding. Since ancient times, the area has been suitable for growing crops such as rice, sugarcane, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, local tobacco, and various fruits and melons. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1978, with the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy, the village established two century egg processing plants and one machine-made brick factory, developed “three-capital” enterprises, promoted diversified operations, and encouraged farmers to vigorously develop edible fungi, thereby increasing their incomes. The two century egg processing plants and one rice noodle factory provided jobs for over 600 people, solving employment issues. The lead-free pine-flower century eggs are bestsellers in the international market and are recognized as branded products at both the provincial and municipal levels. The development of these enterprises also boosted the local economy. Additionally, over 200 villagers went to Guangdong, Zhejiang, and other regions for business or work. With the progress of reform and opening up, the economy continued to grow and people’s living standards gradually improved. In 1994, the village raised funds to pave eight cement roads totaling approximately 6,000 meters, with a total cost of 2.8 million yuan, greatly improving transportation and convenience for residents. From 1992 to 2003, 400 new houses were built across the village's natural settlements. In 1996, a brand-new primary school teaching building was constructed at a cost of over 700,000 yuan, improving the learning environment for children. In early 2007, the 100-meter section of road from Wushi Primary School to Anbian Natural Village was regraded and paved with concrete. Streetlights were installed on all village roads. In 2008, the village committee mobilized residents to improve water conservancy infrastructure and transform low-yield farmland, expanding the drought- and flood-resistant area by 300 mu. In 2009, the community independently built a tap water system, providing clean water to over 300 households. In 2010, the construction of the Putian–Yong’an Expressway led to the relocation of 49 households covering 7,644 square meters within the village. The relocated households cooperated voluntarily, ensuring the smooth progress of the expressway project.

The vast majority of Wushi Village residents own color TVs, telephones, and modern furniture. It is a convenient place with good transportation, easy access to schools for children, and steadily growing incomes. Wushi Village has a long history, with historical sites such as Longchao Palace, Shanxin Ancestral Hall, Wushi Palace, Nigu An, and Shande Hall located within its boundaries.
