Xinguang Ancient Village | A rural ancient manor built by a wealthy family from the Pujiang region

The ancient architectural complex of Xinguang Village, also known as Lingyan Ancient Manor, is located beside Provincial Road 210. Coming from Tonglu, one can pass through Lüci, Maoping Village, Shishe Village, Xishan Bridge, Maling and other scenic spots. Initially thought to be just a stop along the way, the actual visit reveals that the scale and preservation of the buildings are surprisingly impressive. The manor's architecture includes Qiming Residence, Yi Valley Hall, Runde Hall, Dunmu Hall, Lingyan Academy, servant quarters, grinding rooms, study rooms, practice rooms, etiquette rooms, treasury rooms, horse stables, Mingzhe Garden, Guifang Pavilion, and nearly 20 other existing traditional ancient buildings, forming a complex with a total area of about 15,000 square meters. Its overall architectural scale is grand, with clear functions and orderly layout. Xinguang Village has thus been listed as one of the first batch of traditional villages in the country, reflecting the important value of its architecture. Lingyan Ancient Manor was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1738 AD) by Zhu Kebin, a wealthy man from Pujiang. Zhu Kebin, also known as Lingyan, was born in 1697. He started his business in Hangzhou and other places in 1735, dealing in timber, tea, and indigo dyes. After more than twenty years of prosperity, he became extremely wealthy, known as 'Zhu Millionaire', owning thirty-six manors, seventy-two ports, and the mountain forests from Maling to Lüci. After making his fortune, Zhu Kebin built the 'Lingyan Ancient Manor' next to his hometown Qianxi Creek, and also contributed to bridge construction, road paving, funding education, rewarding the excellent and aiding the poor, and disaster relief. From Zhu Kebin's life story, one can glimpse the significant influence of the gentry class on rural construction in the past. Yi Valley Hall is the central building of the manor, but the largest single building is the adjacent Runde Hall, also colloquially known as 'Twenty-nine Rooms'. As the name suggests, the building consists of 29 rooms. 'Twenty-nine Rooms' has now been developed into a cultural and creative market space. Although the products sold there seem mostly simple, it is quite interesting to see an old house in the countryside developed into an ancient street business. In summary, as one of the stops on the trip to Pujiang, Lingyan Ancient Manor (navigate to Xinguang Ancient Village) is well worth a visit. There is no admission fee, but it is slightly regrettable that some buildings are not open for visitors.

There are Yuanbaoshan in the south, Maling in the west and Lishui in the north. The ancient village was built according to the yin and yang Taiji, with the S-shaped water as the boundary.

However, in recent years, Pujiang has opened a creation base for tourism and entrepreneurship and the Internet. A large number of new star makers have come one after another, and various special activities have emerged one after another. Big, its popularity is even higher than Xinguang Village, so young people prefer to call it "the middle of the room." Into the Xinguang Village, the white wall and the tile, the ancient door pier, the high horse head wall, the thick blue stone road, the mountains and the mountains under the blue sky and white clouds intertwined with the taste of the new year. The ancient arches in Xinguang Village, ancient fish tanks and ancient lamps are rare rare sights. The ancient building of the village, Lingyan Ancient Manor, was built more than 270 years ago, with a total area of over 20,000 square meters. It is a legendary and colorful Jiangnan courtyard.

In Zhejiang, there are many Huizhou buildings in this ancient village. The horse head wall is the most distinctive part of the Huizhou architecture. Generally speaking, the horse head wall can be quickly distinguished. The old houses are such a one-in-one courtyard. There are many ancient buildings preserved here. The stone carvings, wood carvings, brick carvings and clay sculptures on the top are exquisite, and the wall murals are rich in content. is the largest ancient house in Pujiang, with 10 rooms in the north and south, and 3 rooms in the east and west.

There are a lot of college doctors' centers here. There are some very interesting shops. I like the things that are handmade. There is a kind of ingenuity in the inside. The things that are done by hand will always be more human.

Xinguang Village. At first I heard that I had to go to the village, especially at 40 degrees, I refused. The result was walking and leaving me fascinated. A little Hui style architecture, but this is not the point, the key point is that there is a college student base, a lot of small shops have a good taste. I like Yijianglan most. This is a cheongsam shop for girls who are big with me. Probably because I like tradition, I have a special liking for the old cheongsam. There are a lot of alleys here, and there are even big 28s leaning against the corners. There are very few opportunities that can be seen today. It is probably really a reminder of the old days.
