Xinghua Village Cultural Tourist Area

"During the Qingming Festival, rains fell heavily, and pedestrians on the road were almost heartbroken. I asked where the tavern was, and the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village in the distance." In the spring of the fifth year of Tang Huichang (845 AD), Du Mu, a famous poet and governor of Chizhou, encountered rain in Xinghua Village outside Xiushan Gate in the west of Guichi City, and wrote this poem "Qingming" that has been passed down through the ages and is known to women and children. In fact, it is not only Du Mu, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Li Qingzhao and others have left immortal poems here. From the 13th to the 24th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1674-1685 AD), Lang Sui, a native of Xinghua Village, spent 11 years compiling the 12 volumes of "Xinghua Village Chronicles". The book records all aspects of the history, scenic spots, construction, historical sites, poems and essays of Xinghua Village, and also describes in detail the 12 beautiful scenes of the ancient Xinghua Village: Pingtian Spring Rise, Santai Sunset, Baipu Lotus Wind, Xixiang Misty Rain, Tea Field Wheat Waves, Qiyun Pine Moon, Zhaoming Academy, Tiefo Zen Forest, Sangzhe Red Maple, Meizhou Xiaoxue, Huanggong Winery, Duwu Fisherman's Song. "Xinghua Village Chronicles" is the only village chronicle selected into the "Siku Quanshu", so later generations call Xinghua Village "the best village at the moment"! It can be said that Xinghua Village is famous all over the world because of a poem, and it is famous for a book! The currently open folk experience area is about 8 square kilometers, with scenic spots such as Tangcha Village, Shili Bridge, Huanyuan, Kuiyuan, Xiyuan, Baixingyuan, and water sightseeing. Here tourists can enjoy the beautiful Jiangnan landscape and experience traditional farming customs.
