Where is Xintian Ancient Village?

Xintian Ancient Village is the oldest village in Shaoguan, located in the hinterland of Wujing Town, about 38 kilometers northeast of Nanxiong City, Guangdong Province. Xintian Village has a history of 169 1 years since it was built three years ago in the Western Jin Dynasty. In ancient villages, there are many ancient residential buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the early Republic of China, among which the well-preserved buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties reach 1 1,000 square meters. Although most of them are Hakka buildings, they still retain many Central Plains styles, such as blue walls and tiles and mysterious cornices.

Nanxiong folk proverb says: "Xintianli comes first, then Wujing town;" There is Xintianli first, then Suichang County. " I have been to the hinterland of Wujing Town, about 38 kilometers northeast of Nanxiong City, near Wujing Street in the north. It has the reputation of "Nanxiong First Village, Nanxiong First Village and Guangdong Ancient Village". Anyone who recognizes Xintian Village will agree that this compliment is true. "Xintian" means "a newly opened field of hope". In the third year of the Western Jin Dynasty (365,438+05), li geng opened a village and Li Jinma carried it forward. After careful management by the ancestors of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it finally became a place where people migrated to Nanxiong.

According to the Qing Dynasty's Records of Nanxiong Prefecture in Zhili, Xintian Village was first named as "Xinxi": "Newcomer", that is, new development; "Stream" means that it is surrounded by mountains and waters. Zhenjiang is surrounded by Xintian Market, and Wujing Ancient Road runs through it. Xintian Bridge spans in an arc, with Tianguang Mountain as the ancestral mountain in the south, Baishiling and Huashan in the east-west arc, and a geomantic shrine surrounded by arched rivers in the north. Ten scenic spots in Xinxi (West Window Night Reading, South Cave Spring Tillage, Lianshan Twilight Drum, Linshui Xiao Zhong, Tang Chi Yuyue, Menling Songcang, Changhe Taying, Lu Guan Ma Si, Longqiao Zhao Xi and Kuige Morning Smoke) have superior ecological situation.

The red sandstone window is inlaid with round square holes, grass-rolled, ring-buckled, "_"-shaped, "Asian"-shaped, flower bud-shaped, and red sandstone inlaid with corners, which is particularly dazzling.

This composition is rare and can be called a treasure of cultural relics. The "Bamboo Swallow" plaque is extremely precious.

A pair of red sandstone fame stones are still standing in front of the door, and the bones are lying next to them.
