Encounter the ancient village of Songyun in Xiaoshan, the birthplace of Wuyi culture!

Huantan ancient village, located in Jinhua Town, Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, is a gathering place for the Tian family and is also known as the "hometown of Wuyi". Originally called Xujiacun (Tianle), it was named "Huantan" because Yue Fei drank the water of the pond and was happy when he marched against the Jin Dynasty here, hence the name "Huantan", and the village was named after the pond. Looking at Huantan in the ancient village of the Southern Song Dynasty, Songyun Huantan looks at Yueyuan. There are Yue Wumu Temple, Xieshan-style hexagonal pavilion, Huantan seven-corner well, etc. in Yueyuan. There is a bronze statue of Yue Fei in the temple, which is about 3 meters high and echoes the sitting statue in the Yue Temple on Beishan Street. The couplet of the octagonal pavilion in the garden is: "The green forest of Dayan Mountain is rich and the water of Huantan laughs at the source and flows long". The Huantan area is a must-pass for Yue Fei's troops, and it also leaves commemorative place names such as Yuezhucun, Niugao Village, Yuezhuling, and Niugaoling. The Tian family in Huantan donated land deeds, accumulated property in good years, used to help the poor and overcome difficulties, and the atmosphere of righteousness first has been passed down to this day. "Yicang, Yixue, Yidu, Yizhen, Yizang" are the five major righteous acts passed down by Huantan generations. Huantan Yicang was created by Ning Gong, and the family temple of the Grand Sima has righteous fields, and the grain produced is put into Yicang. Yicang also has a smoke-watching platform. If you see villagers without cooking smoke all day in the twelfth lunar month, go and check. Huantan has five private schools and book houses, and the literary style is prosperous. "Farming is the main duty, reading can honor the body", the Tian family in Huantan has always valued farming and reading, so there have been 133 court-appointed officials from Huantan Village in history. Although Huantan has good feng shui, in fact, the local culture also nurtures the local feng shui. In 1803, Tian Zunxian and his son Tian Xingyi donated to build a righteous school, named "Xianyi Book House".
