History Guniujiang has an ancient origin in geological history. Its geological structure was formed in a long geological age, and after many crustal movements and weathering, erosion and other natural effects, it has created a unique landform landscape. From a cultural and historical perspective, areas such as Yanjia Ancient Village retain rich historical relics. The Yan family has thrived here for many years, and the buildings and customs of the ancient village carry historical memories. In ancient times, the residents here were mainly farming, and at the same time, they developed some unique local cultures. In the case of inconvenient transportation in ancient times, the Guniujiang area was relatively closed, which allowed some ancient traditions and cultures to be preserved.
