In Xizhuang Town, there is a traditional village with a long history and rich culture - Liucun. Here, the ancient trees are towering, the ancient village is silent, every brick and tile tells the vicissitudes of history, and every wisp of cooking smoke carries the weight of culture.
Yanagimura, a name, a piece of history. Since the Yuan to Shun period, Liucun has taken root in this land. The village is surrounded by ditches on three sides, and the west is connected to the plain, forming a natural landscape painting. During the Ming Dynasty, with the establishment of "Sanyi Village", the village gradually prospered, and reached its peak in the Jiaqing and Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty.
Liucun retains 16 "Horse Gate Towers" and "Courtyard Houses" with the characteristics of the times, 12 of which are well preserved. Residential buildings are like the imprint of time, engraved with the culture and art of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Every courtyard and every wall carries the wisdom and sweat of generations of villagers. Those exquisite inscriptions and engraved plaques hide the "literary atmosphere" of ancient and modern times, telling the stories of diligence and simplicity, honesty and trustworthiness.
In Liucun, life is a poetic dwelling. The villagers have inherited the true character of hard work, simplicity, honesty and trustworthiness for generations, and their lives are simple and fulfilling, living in harmony with nature. In the second year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, the "Kangji Bridge" donated by villagers Hao Hongpao, Hao Hongyi and others is still standing, witnessing the yearning and pursuit of a better life by the people of Liucun.
Nowadays, the charm of Liucun Ancient Village has attracted the investment and development of Yushui Qianshan Company. In the future, it will become an important pole of tourism in the ancient city, ancient village and ancient village of Hancheng, become an intangible cultural heritage base, and build an industrial park. Liucun Ancient Village is ushering in the hope of a new life and is full of vitality again.
