Guangdu Village, the most beautiful ancient village with humanistic landscapes.

Guangdu Village is an ancient village with a profound historical and cultural heritage and unique humanistic landscapes. 1. Geographical location: Located in the southwest of Xiakou Town, Jiangshan City, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, it is located at the foot of Songfeng Mountain at the junction of Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces with an altitude of 1052 meters, 13.2 kilometers away from the town, with an area of 19.99 square kilometers. In November 2008, it was merged from the original Guangdu, Dadangdi, and Chaijia three natural villages. 2. Historical origin: It has a history of more than a thousand years and is a blood settlement of the Mao family inherited from Qingyang. The "Qingyang Mao Family Tree" preserved by the descendants of Guangdu is the only archive heritage selected from the first batch of 48 national treasure lists based on the folk genealogy. 3. Cultural relics and historic sites: - Dagon Palace: Built in the 46th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1781), it was used for academies and private schools. The main hall is the eight-cornered spire Mercury Pavilion (Wenchang Pavilion), which can be climbed to overlook the ancient village. There are three rear halls behind the main hall, with murals and murals on the interior ceilings, beams, and walls, as well as three courtyard-style ancillary buildings. - Archway: There are two Qing Dynasty stone archways, both of which are two-column three-story models. The one on the north was built by Xu Zhen in the sixth year of Daoguang (1826); the one on the south was built by He in the seventh year of Jiaqing (1802). - Eight-thread hall: According to the genealogy, it was built by the eight sons of Mao Congyin at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Most of it was bombed during the Anti-Japanese War, and only the upper hall was preserved. The remaining parts of the sparrow and the ox leg are exquisitely carved, and the column base stone is also carved with patterns of flowers, birds, and people. - Mao's Ancestral Hall: Guangdu is connected with the Mao family in Shimen, Qingyang, Jiangshan. The ancestors of Guangdu named the two mountains in the village as "Qingyang Mountain" and "Xingyang Mountain" to remember that the ancestor Mao Xiuye was the descendant of Qingyang Gong Mao Yuanqiong, and the ancestral home was in Qingyang, and the ancestors of Qingyang came from Xingyang, Henan.
