What is the origin of Yueyang magical ancient village?

There is a magical ancient village in Yueyang, Hunan, which is called the first village in the world. What is its origin? We will unveil its mystery.

In Yueyang, Hunan, there is an ancient village called Zhangguying Village, which is located at the foot of Bijia Mountain in Weidong, Yueyang County. Everyone is familiar with Bijia Mountain, but not many people know this village. This ancient village has a history of more than 600 years, and the locals call it the Folk Forbidden City. The ancient buildings inside are well preserved, and the architectural style is designed according to the style of Jiangnan water town, mostly in Ming and Qing dynasties, which has high historical and cultural value. Visitors who like the style of Jiangnan water town can browse, and they must be very happy that you came.

Zhang Cun was named after Zhang. It is said that in the 1960s of 14, three geomantic gentlemen came to the foot of Bijia Mountain to look for a treasure trove of geomantic omen. After arriving at the treasure house, Zhang chose a prosperous place. The other two people, one chooses the main wealth and the other chooses the chief officer. Although it is only a legend, it turns out that the population of Zhangguying Village is very prosperous, and it has been propagated for 26 generations. Later generations named this village Zhangguying Village in memory of him.

Since ancient times, there have been many literati in Zhangguying Village. Local people respect Confucius and Mencius and attach great importance to the influence of education on future generations. They are all proud of reading and ashamed of being illiterate. Therefore, there are many talents from Zhangguying Village. However, according to historical research, there are more than 40 people who achieved fame in the imperial examination era, and there has never been a corrupt official among Zhang's descendants. It can be seen that his descendants are very upright, honest and clean.

After so many years of wind and rain, Zhangguying Village has basically preserved the original state of Ming and Qing architecture. The traditional buildings in the village are still inhabited by local residents, and the Zhang family has lived here for generations. With the progress of the times, many original buildings have been destroyed, but Zhangguying Village can still be preserved so completely, and it is also known as the most intact ancient village in China. Of course, Zhang people have worked hard for so many years, so tourists must protect the local architectural culture and not destroy it at will.
