Jiuhu Village

Jiuhu Village is a cultural tourism attraction.

In Jiuhu Village, there is a place called the "Wang Clan Ancestral Hall," which was the site of the First Farmers' Association of Huaxian County and also the headquarters of the Huaxian Farmers' Self-Defense Army. It is fittingly referred to as the cradle of the red revolution, as this was once the battleground where leaders of the peasant movement such as Peng Pai, Ruan Xiaoxian, Liu Ersong, Wang Fusan, and Wang Peng fought together.

Jiuhu Village is located beside Huadu Avenue, covering an area of approximately 1.5 square kilometers, with a population of over 1,100. The Wang surname is predominant in the village, and accordingly, its ancestral hall is of a notably high standard. This can be seen from the seven-tiered steps at the entrance, the remaining stone pillar carvings of "immediate noble rank" (a traditional motif), and the three-tiered architectural layout. Historical records indicate that the eleventh-generation ancestor Mingqing passed the imperial examination at the county level during the 33rd year of the Wanli reign in the Ming Dynasty, became a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) in the Guichou year, served as the magistrate of Fuqing County in Fujian Province, was later promoted to prefect of Changsha County in Hunan, then advanced to principal clerk in the Ministry of Justice, transferred to the position of senior official in the Ministry of Rites, and eventually rose to the rank of Left Chancellor in the imperial court — a position roughly equivalent to today's Vice Premier of the State Council.

The Wang Clan Ancestral Hall was established by Wang Qinggong. Its architecture has an antique charm, featuring high-quality screens, pillars, eaves, and bracket sets. It still preserves a large number of lime sculptures with distinctive Lingnan characteristics, along with calligraphy and paintings. There are also remnants of photos from the era of the farmers' movement and brief written records.
