Is the ancient town of Chaji in Anhui interesting?

The more distinctive places are worth visiting.

Chaji currently has five business cards: Taohuatan Town, Jingxian County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province, which is a national 4A-level scenic spot, a national key cultural relic protection unit, a famous village of Chinese history and culture, the first village of sketching in China, and a traditional village in China. So far, it is the largest surviving ancient village of Ming and Qing Dynasties in China.

When I walked into the ancient town of Chaji, I suddenly felt closer when I saw those yellow and mottled city walls and the horse-headed walls layered on top of each other. In fact, as an ancient residence in China, whether it is rich in the world or famous, it is low-key and luxurious, hidden but not revealed. It is said that there are six schools of ancient architecture in China, among which Huizhou School is the first, and Huizhou School is the most important and common one among Huizhou Schools, and it is also the most familiar architectural school.

Cha Ji's "Cha" is pronounced as "zhā" because most villagers are surnamed Cha, and his ancestor is Cha Wenxi, who was also the secretariat of Xuanzhou and Chizhou in the Tang Dynasty. Because he had to go through Chaji when going back and forth between the two places, he saw that there were mountains around here, swift streams and fertile land, so he decided to settle here after leaving office. After Chawenxi settled down, Chaji gradually changed from a remote small village to a well-known big village. There are many celebrities in Chaji. In the Ming and Qing dynasties alone, there were 129 officials above grade 7 in Chaji village.
