Where is the southernmost point of the Zhejiang section? It is located in Cangnan County, Wenzhou City, and further south is Fuding County, Fujian Province. Cangnan is also the only county-level high-speed rail station in the country that has the right to launch high-speed trains. It can be seen that the location here is unusual. In everyone's impression, Wenzhou people are very rich. However, Cangnan was once a poor county in the country. Moreover, it has a large population and only one square meter of land per capita. In such a poverty-stricken county, there are still talented people. It has a large number of people and has the legendary hometown of No. 1 Scholar.
Xiangdong Village is located on the Jiangnan Plain, 18.7 kilometers southeast of Cangnan County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Xiangdong Village and Xiangxi Village were originally one village. It was first called Yingqiao West Fort. This is what I call the hometown of the number one scholar. Why do I say that? In the fourth year of the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiang Guifa, a martial arts champion, wrote "Huanghua Collection", and his grandson Xiang Bowen wrote "Yunlin Collection". In the 17th year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Xiang Hengzhong was elected as a civil servant. In the 21st year of Yongle's reign, Xiang You and his brother Xiang Lu took the provincial examination together. After that, during the Xuande, Chenghua, and Chongzhen years of the Ming Dynasty, Gong gave birth to Xiang Gen, Xiang Ying, and Xiang Ruideng. According to historical records, from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty in 1283, a total of 777 civil and military champions were born across the country. One champion was born in an ordinary village. This ratio is also very difficult.
Nowadays, the whole country is vigorously developing rural tourism, and here is no exception. Xiangdong Village has outstanding people, not only has a profound cultural heritage, but the environment here is also very comfortable. Xiangdong Village is surrounded by rivers, and the rivers in the village are winding. You can sit on a boat Visiting the village also gives you a different perspective.
The river outside the village is quite wide, but the boat price is very reasonable. A boat costs 50 yuan and can seat up to eight people. The scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is also different. On one side is the new look of modern villages, stone bridges and plank roads, painted murals, and some ancient buildings with preserved characteristics. On the other side, there is a rural atmosphere, farmland, fields, swamps and waterfronts, with from time to time. Waterbird leaps into flight.
In addition to being the hometown of the number one scholar, Xiangdong Village was also a famous handicraft family enterprise during the New China period. Xiangqiao Daily Products Factory was once the leading enterprise in the village. The plastic food stamps used by my parents at that time were produced here. , now renovated and rebuilt on the original site, it is now the village’s cultural living room, information and historical records museum. You can still see several such family workshops and factories when walking in the village.
The whole village is very clean and tidy, full of life. In addition to modern construction, it also retains some ancient buildings, old city walls, old archways, and house numbers from the Republic of China. Here you can feel the different cultural and architectural features.
The overall environment of Xiangdong Village is very comfortable. There is a fusion of ancient and modern, and a variety of cultures are mixed together. Different from the gentleness of the ancient towns in Jiangnan Water Town, it has the modern style of the ancient village, profound cultural heritage, and industries of the times. Changes, different ways of visiting.
If you are traveling to Cangnan by car, you might as well come here to see the outstanding people and experience the different cultural characteristics.
