Highlights

Anhui Architecture


Hong Village's mirrored structures

This village is described as one of the Yellow Mountains must see areas. Partly for the preserved Ming and Qing architecture and the village layout that was recognized by UNESCO in the year 2000.

Ingenious use of elements of water, trees and gardens, and farmland produced a beautiful setting for the Wang Clan's daily life over many generations.

The village structures blend in with the natural setting that exhibit the wisdom of hundreds of years of village construction.

Many of the villagers diverted water via small canals into their court yards, turning their houses into garden settings.

Hongcun is an outstanding representative of Huizhou traditional local culture, building techniques and landscape design. It has historical, artistic, and scientific value.

Geomancy: The lay of the whole village was designed according to geomantic (feng shui) ideas. It looks like the shape of a cow to Chinese people. To prevent the spread of fires and to also water the plants, laborers built a water system according to the cow design in traditional geomancy. The village centers around "the heart of the cow", Moon Pond.

Chengzhi Hall


Wood engraving of Chengzhi Hall

Residences and sights to be seen in a tour include Chengzhi Hall that is known for it's engraved art. It is covered with gold sheet and painted with colors.

Southern Lake Academy

This complex is on the north bank of Southern Lake. It was built in 1814 when six family schools that were there were combined and rebuilt. The academy covers an area of over 6,000 square meters. The buildings are grand and wide.

It is a good architectural representative of the family academies of Huizhou. One of the interesting social developments of the various Chinese clan villages during the late Qing Dynasty era and in the early 20th century was the construction and support of "family schools" to educate the children of the large family groups.

By visiting it, you can learn something about the social life of that time. You can also see the artists paint there.

History

Hongcun was founded about the year 1100. So it has a history of about 900 years. Hongcun was first called "Hongcun (弘村)." "Hong" here means great. In the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, its name was changed into a synonymous homonym "Hongcun (宏村)." The exact same sound written with a different character means great, grand, or magnificent.

Hongcun is a village of the ancient Wang clan. The ancestral home of the Wang clan is Jinling. In the Southern Song Dynasty, they moved to Huizhou.
