Pingnan Zhongtuan Ancient Village, Guangxi.

The history of Pingnan Zhongtuan Village can be traced back to the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (between 1523 and 1566 AD). At that time, the Xie clan moved from Nanxiong County, Guangdong to Zhongtuan Village, and reached its peak during the Daoguang, Xianfeng, and Tongzhi periods of the Qing Dynasty, producing many cultural celebrities. Almost all the villagers in Zhongtuan Village have the surname Xie. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, although most of the ancient buildings still retain the charm of the ancient times, apart from a small part that has been lost due to disrepair, the best preserved ancient building complex is the "Du Kun Mansion". This is the residence of Xie Xiong, the twelfth generation of the Xie family. He was awarded the rank of Qianzong by the Qing court for his military exploits and was awarded the construction. This shows that Zhongtuan Village is not only a village with a long history, but also a witness to culture and history. Its ancient buildings and the stories of historical figures have added rich cultural connotations and historical value to the local area. In addition, the ancient buildings of Zhongtuan Tun also provide valuable physical materials for future generations to study the social life, architectural art and family culture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
