There is the largest and best-preserved village site of Qing Dynasty in Hubei Province.

In Hujiaying Town, Yunyang District, Shiyan City, Hubei Province, there is a remote mountain village by the Han River. From June, 2065438 to June, 2004, the Hubei provincial government approved and issued a number of provincial-level cultural relics protection units, among which the ancient buildings in this village became the typical representatives of these provincial-level cultural relics protection units. It is a frozen green ditch village formed by the merger of Sancha Village, Frozen Green Village and Laozi Village. In this undeveloped and unknown village, there are 14 ancient dwellings, 2 ancient temples, 1 ancient villages and 7 ancient trees.

Dongqinggou Village is located on the south bank of the Han River, with its back to the mountains and its entrance facing the river. Hanjiang River, from Baihe County, Shaanxi Province to Dongqinggou Village, is a unique water transport hub with wide waters and gentle flow.

On the top of the hill on the left side of the village, there is a temple-yangsi Temple. It was built in Qing Daoguang for three years (1823). The temple is made of blue bricks and tiles, simple and elegant, well preserved, and the door frame is made of stone, which is very neat. In folklore, yangsi is generally regarded as the water god of Taoism. Therefore, shipowners, boat people and businessmen who traveled in those years, in order to ensure the smooth sailing all year round and the safety of passengers and goods, must go to this temple to worship before passing by or sailing.

After entering the village, we walked not far along the ravine and saw this beautiful ancient building. It is praised by experts as the most exquisite and unique building "Niangniang Temple". Niangniang Temple was built in the light years of Qing Dynasty (1825- 1830). The upper part of the temple is a brick house, and the lower part is an arched passage made of stone strips. It is said that passers-by in the past had to pass through this arch passage to be inspected, rested or prayed for their children at Niangniang Temple.

Not far from Niangniang Temple is Ji Min Courtyard, which has a long history. It is also called the front yard, and the concubine's courtyard located at the back height is called the backyard. Ji Min Courtyard, east-west, is a quadrangle building with a total area of 235.2 square meters.

A few meters away from Ji Min Hospital, there is an antique zhaobi. Judging from the photo shooting, it just blocked the sight of entering the village. The location of this screen wall is very strange, but it is a pity that it is not introduced. I wonder what year it was made.

This dilapidated building is called Yujiyuan, which is a quadrangle building with a total area of 346.26 square meters and has a history of more than 200 years.

The most typical ancient building in Dongqinggou Village is this evergreen garden. The building is a five-bay single-entry courtyard, which is the best-preserved house at present and the largest house in the frozen green ditch. Different from other courtyards, the doorframe and pier of the main entrance of Qingchuang Garden are hard stone, which looks solid, beautiful and atmospheric, and the pattern is still clearly visible. Moreover, all the doors and windows in the building adopt the traditional wood carving hollowing process.

These old houses in Dongqinggou village are said to have been built by He's ancestors. According to legend, during the Ming Dynasty, the Ho brothers moved from Ruichang, Jiangxi Province to Banqiao River in Yunxi to do business and make a living on credit. After that, it gradually developed and became a famous aristocratic family in the Qing Dynasty, so it moved to Qianshan and Hujiaying in Wufeng Township and built He Manor here. This old house is He Jia Lao Zhuang, the old house at the beginning of He Jia's prosperity. The old house is built on the mountain, which is ladder-shaped, with simple architecture, mostly civil and masonry structures.

On the top of another ravine, Hejia Ancestral Hall was built in an open and flat place, opposite to a wide valley. According to reports, the ancestral hall was built in the fifth year of Qing Daoguang (1825), and the door was engraved with a "living road" plaque. Historically, it used to be an important place for He people to worship their ancestors, hold celebrations, implement clan rules, reward their children and grandchildren and entertain those who have achieved fame and fortune in the New Year.

According to experts, Dongqinggou Village can preserve so many ancient buildings, thanks to its backward traffic conditions and remote geographical location, thus reducing the damage of modern civilization to various forms of ancient buildings and remains in the village.
