Dajiangpu Ancient Village

Dajiangpu Ancient Village

Located in Dajiangpu Village, Jiangpu Town. In the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, the Kuang family migrated from Datun Village to this area and established the village. All buildings in the village face south, most constructed with brick, wood, and stone in a flush-gable roof style, covering a built-up area of 12,000 square meters. Five ancestral halls in front of the village border a large crescent-shaped pond, behind which residential houses are aligned, with the ancestral halls, residences, and study halls forming a chessboard-like village layout. The five ancestral halls all feature wok ear gables, have three bays and three entrances, and are named as follows: Nengyuan Ancestral Hall, Wuyu Ancestral Hall, Huai Shan Ancestral Hall, Leqiu Ancestral Hall, and Ju Xian Ancestral Hall. Nengyuan Ancestral Hall, located at the upper end of the village and known as Dun’ai Hall, and Wuyu Ancestral Hall, at the lower end and also called Dunben Hall, are the two oldest and are dedicated to the two ancestors who founded Dajiangpu Village. Huai Shan Ancestral Hall, named Dunren Hall, is adjacent to Xingren Alley, with a plaque inscribed by the top imperial scholar Lin Zhaotang. Transportation: Take a bus to Conghua Bus Terminal, then take a taxi or motorcycle to reach the site.
