Gaoping Lianghu Village

　　Lianghu Village is said to have been established during the Tang Dynasty by families surnamed Guo and Tian. It was originally called “Two Households” and is the hometown of Tian Fengji, one of the three eminent Grand Secretaries of Gaoping during the Qing Dynasty, who later became the Governor of Zhejiang. The entire village is exquisitely located, with deep ancient streets, rows of historic houses, grand gateways, weathered plaques, and a simple, sincere folk culture. The village is also known for its exquisite "Three Carvings" (wood, brick, and stone carvings). Particularly noteworthy are the window sills and door thresholds throughout the village, all intricately carved with patterns of animals and flowers — a true masterpiece. Professor Chen Zhihua from Tsinghua University once praised: “Life should and can be created in such a refined, artistic, heartfelt, and practical way.”
