Ancient village for a thousand years~ Dongyanzhuang Village

This ancient village in Shanxi has been around for more than 700 years, and now only the elderly are left behind, and the ancient houses are already in ruins. The trip to Shanxi has become a great pleasure for many tourists. Here they can see different scenery, whether it is ancient architecture or special food, which makes tourists linger. In Shanxi, there is an ancient village that has been around for 700 years. Now only the elderly are left behind, and the ancient houses are in ruins. This ancient village is Dongyanzhuang Village, located in Yuanping City, Xinzhou, Shanxi Province. Because it is located in the hilly area, as early as the Hongwu years of the Ming Dynasty, the Fan family moved from Hongdong to settle here. The village temple and the stage have almost become important buildings closely related to people's daily life in every village in Shanxi. Today's visitors to Dongyanzhuang Village can still see several ancient temples preserved in the village and two ancient stages. It is known that the ancient stage is a relic of the Qing Dynasty, presented in a west-facing east form, with a width of three rooms, and an eight-character wall is built on both sides. On the big beam, you can see the inscriptions repaired during the Tongzhi and Jiaqing years. Once prosperous Dongyanzhuang Village, with the passage of time, can no longer see the lively scene of the past. Now the tourists who come to Dongyanzhuang Village can only see a dozen elderly people left in the village and the abandoned old houses. It can also be seen that this place has almost become an empty nest village that no one cares about. The changes of the times have made the lively scene here no longer findable. The lively scene of the past can only become the history of Dongyanzhuang Village. Here you can review the bits and pieces of people's lives here before. And the painstaking efforts of these ancient builders.
