Where are the ancient village sites in Wuyi area of Jiangmen best protected?

Liangxi Village, Tangxia Town, Pengjiang District, is an ancient village with a long history, rich historical and cultural connotations and relatively well-preserved so far. There are ancient buildings in the village during the Ming, Qing and Republic of China, among which Roche Grand Ancestral Hall, Guarding City Wall, Luogui Tomb, Wutang and other buildings are its representative works. According to the research of experts and scholars, in the first year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D.11year), a man named Luo Gui led 99 families with a surname of 36 * * * and moved here with his wife and belt. These immigrants brought advanced farming techniques and culture from the Central Plains and made great contributions to the development of the Pearl River Delta. Their descendants multiplied and formed the residents of the Pearl River Delta. It is estimated that the total number of their descendants exceeds 20 million. If you add the descendants who moved to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas, the total number is about 40 million. Liangxi is located in a ravine about 3 kilometers northwest of Tangxiaxu in Tangxia Town. It is adjacent to village committees such as Shafu, Hu Ling and Nanjie Center in the east (known as townships in ancient times), and borders Yayao Town in Heshan City in the west and north. Liangxi is a mountainous and hilly area, with Jiangjun Mountain as the highest. Mud River and Shahe River, two scenic spots in Heshan, flow here, with a river width of about 10 meter, and flow into Tianshahe River to join Xijiang River through Jiangmen City. Beautiful scenery and elegant environment. Liangxi is surrounded by low-lying land, and the countryside is often flooded. It is covered with grass, and the earliest people who built the village here called it "grass bottom" (that is, Beili Lane in Liangxi Village today). At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, people at the bottom of the cave began to build dikes along the Xijiang River to stop the inflow of the Xijiang River. The low-humidity land gradually dried up, and later generations turned it into houses and farmland. After the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1396), villagers called "Liangxi" according to the homonym of "cave bottom", which means "making good use of talents and making streams flow forever".

Liangxi covers an area of 8.33 square kilometers, with more than 500 households and about 1.700 people. It governs six natural villages: Liangbei, Liang Zhong, Liang Dong, Funing, Daheng and Beikan. The settlements are distributed along the slope in a ladder shape. There are 523 mu of paddy fields and fish ponds 10 12 mu, mainly planting rice, peanuts and red tobacco.

There are different opinions about the establishment of Liangxi ancient village:

First, the "Records of the Place Names of Jiangmen City" recorded that in the tenth year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty (1274), Xie ancestors moved from Nanxiong Zhuji Township, and then 97 Luo people came to live here.

Secondly, during the Northern Song Dynasty, a surnamed Xie in Nanxiong Zhuji Lane first came to Gongkeng to build a house and farm, and built a village called Xiekeng Village, which is now Chongrenli in Liangxi Village.

Third, the views of Liangxi people can be found in The Origin of Roche's Specialty compiled by Liangxi Village Committee. It is directly related to Luo Guiqiu's move to the south. Luo Guisheng was born in the first year of Yuan You, northern Song Zhezong (1086). In the first year of Gaozong (1 13 1) in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was more difficult for people to make a living because of natural disasters, land plunder and loss of food crops. So, your ancestors discussed with Tongli's surname and decided to move south, with Gong as the leader, reported to the counties and obtained customs clearance documents. On the 16th day of the first month of that year, your ancestors led a family of 97 families with 36 surnames from Zhuji Lane. On April 16, when they arrived at the bottom, Gong, a Mongolian, greeted them and set up an account in the county. He was approved to establish a household registration map.

When Luo Gui moved south, he took five sons born to the former Jin family to the bottom of the cave to marry the Tian family, gave birth to four sons, and adopted a nephew as a son, making a total of 10 sons. Luo Gui's family and their companions, in an extremely harsh environment, cultivated land to grow grain, cut off water around the dike, and worked hard for several generations, gradually building Liangxi into a rich hometown today, with famous ancient villages inhabited by Luo, Hu, Ye, Liao, Xie and other surnames. Today, three natural villages, Liang Dong, Liang Zhong and Liangbei, are gradually established by the Luo surname headed by Luo Gui and are the "core" parts of Liangxi Township, where there are many ancient buildings and cultural relics.
