There are many official roads in the village, such as Bagua, Taiji and Maisui, which are carefully inlaid with stone strips and stones to lead you into once prosperous places. Liancun, formerly known as Century Gold, is located in the southwest of Fu 'an 15km. Xue Lingzhi, the granddaddy, studied hard and became the first scholar in Bamin. He was praised by Tang Suzong for his integrity, incorruptibility and self-improvement, and named his villages "Liancun", "Lianshui" and "Lianling". Since then, the culture of Liancun has gradually formed an atmosphere, and under the mutual influence of cultural exchanges and the family origin of poetry and calligraphy in the village, it has finally become a grand view of talents in the village for a hundred years. From the third year of Daguan in the Song Dynasty to about 150 years in the first year of Baodou, there were seven scholars in Liancun 17, and an average of one scholar was born every ten years, especially this fifth son. Both father and son reached the summit, which was brilliant and lasted for a while. Looking back on that year, gongs and drums were loud, crowns were gathered, and villagers on both sides of the official road lined the streets to welcome civilian military commanders who returned home in gold clothes. What a spectacular scene.
Leave ancient houses, ancestral halls, ancient screens and ancient banyan trees for future generations to pay tribute to. The plaque hanging high in the ancestral hall, the exquisite wooden screen and the majestic stone lion sitting in front of the hall all tell the glory of this family. Knocking on the ancient hall, the wrinkled old man holds the wooden door with peeling red paint, and a solidified picture tells the vicissitudes of history. This ancient house, rebuilt on the former site of Wu Jinshi's former residence, has four big characters written on the front door, and only with such great ambition can such a legend of scholarly family be written.
The traffic in the building is so busy that chickens and dogs hear each other. Outside the village, an ancient city wall with a length of 1200 meters surrounds Liancun, with vines and moss traces, standing tall. In the past hundred years, with this stubborn attitude, it has defended the peace and tranquility of Liancun in the smoke of those years, so that Liancun's culture can be carried forward. The ancient pier outside the village was once a land and water hub and material distribution center for communication between northeastern Fujian and southern Zhejiang, and it was once prosperous. However, these have disappeared with the flowing water, leaving only cobblestone steps more than 5 meters wide and slowly extending into the stream, confirming the prosperity of the past "the combination of fish and goods in the sea, far away from Jianning County and near Tongxian Village".
It has passed, and what remains is this culture, this precipitation, and this touch. Even the village, the bright light that can't be hidden, still shines in the ruins of the years, which is fascinating.
