Furong Village
Furong Village is located on the west side of Yongxian Highway south of Yantou Town. It is said that there is a high mountain in the southwest of the village with three protruding peaks, white and red in color, shaped like a hibiscus in bud, so it was named Furong Peak. There is a large pool in the village. Furong Peak is reflected in the water every evening, and the village got its name.
According to the "Chen Family Genealogy" published in the 10th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1497): "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, in order to escape the troubled times, the Chen family moved north from Yongjia County and went to the deep mountain valley along the Nanxi River. When I arrived at Furong Peak, I saw a belt of water in front of the place, Shamao Rock in the back, three dragons grabbing pearls, and four rivers returning to the pond, so I built a house and settled there. "In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan soldiers went south, and Chen Yuzhi led his tribe. He resisted the enemy Qin Wang and was trapped on a cliff for three years. Finally, he committed suicide because he ran out of ammunition and food. The village was burned to ruins by Yuan soldiers and rebuilt in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. In order to learn from his lesson, Shizu gathered the scattered pastoral villages into one village, and built one or two stone walls around the village, with blunderbuss holes in the walls, and seven village gates with different shapes in four directions. The village is square in plan and faces south. The village planning is based on the "seven stars and eight buckets" pattern. "Star" refers to the square platform at the intersection of roads, "Door" refers to the square pool at the intersection of water canals, "Seven Stars" are arranged on wings, and "Eight Dou" are distributed in the shape of a trigram. Roads and water systems are all combined and scattered "stars" and "stars". "Fight" to form a system. Its planning and layout is a metaphor that the village can accommodate the stars in the sky, and it is hoped that future generations of talents will emerge in large numbers like the stars. On the other hand, it highlights the purpose of "benefiting the war". Its star can be used as a command post during combat, and its bucket can store water, so that water can be used to defeat fire during war and can prevent fire attacks. Its actual functions include farming and reading, welcoming talents, respecting officials, worshiping ancestors, offering sacrifices, resisting enemies, preventing fire, regulating temperature, beautifying the village, etc. The residential architecture in Furong Village is full of characteristics.

He was recruited by the Zhou family as his son-in-law. , then moved about one kilometer east and built the current site of the house. The original name of the place was Cangdun, but it was changed to Cangpo to avoid tabooing Song Guangzong (Zhao Dun). In the second year of Zhihe of Song Dynasty (1055), during the reign of the fifth generation ancestor, the population was prosperous. It was divided into three sections: East House, West House and Maxi Garden, with ancestral halls set up in each area, and a large Li family clan was built at the entrance of the village. In the second year of Jianyan of the Song Dynasty (1128), the seventh generation ancestor Li Qiushan moved to Fangxiang. He had a deep relationship with his younger brother Li Jiamu, so he built a pavilion to watch his brother in the village and a pavilion to see off his brother in Fangxiang. The pavilions faced each other to welcome each other. In the fifth year of Chunxi reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty (1178), the ninth generation ancestor asked the national master Li Shiri to discuss the village construction plan. According to the Five Elements Feng Shui theory, two pools were built in the east to store water, and channels were opened around them to divert streams to control fire with water. Later, it was laid out according to the "Four Treasures of the Study". Bi Street and the tip of the pen point directly to Bijia Mountain in the west. There are two pools in the village. The east and west pools are named inkstones. Inkstone troughs are built with strips of stone on the edges of the inkstones. A large stone strip is placed on each edge of the two pools near Bi Street, meaning For ink, the square village is like a piece of white paper. Its planning and layout can be described as unique and profound. Between the two pools are the ancestral hall, Renji Temple, Dayin Palace and other waterfront buildings with dignified and beautiful shapes.
