The Jiuxing Fishing Village in Jiande is located at the confluence of the Fuchun River, Xin'an River and Lan River. The "Nine Surname Fishermen" include Chen, Qian, Lin, Ye, Xu, He, Li, Yuan and Sun. According to legend, they were subordinates of Chen Youliang in the late Yuan Dynasty. After Chen Youliang was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, some of his generals and their descendants were demoted to the Fuchun River area in Zhejiang, and were called "Nine Surname Fishermen". Dragon boat robbing brides and water weddings are both representatives of the "Nine Surname Fishermen" culture. The Jiuxing Fishing Village is dependent on mountains and rivers. The shadows of fishing boats are everywhere in the water and on the shore, which has become a beautiful landscape in the village, and the freshly cooked fish is even more delicious.
