Due to the traffic jam in history, Huizhou merchants flourished in the16th century, leaving more than 4,000 ancient dwellings with exquisite architecture and clear style, which were praised as "the artistic treasure house of oriental ancient buildings" by experts and scholars at home and abroad.

Xidi is 54 kilometers away from Tunxi, the seat of Huangshan Municipal Government, and 8 kilometers away from yi county County. The village is 700 meters long from east to west and 300 meters wide from north to south, with more than 300 households and a population of 1000. According to historical records, Xidi's ancestor was Tang Zhaozong Ye's son. Because of an accident, he left the folk and changed his surname to Hu, where he thrived and formed a settlement village. Therefore, the style of writing has been very prosperous since ancient times. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, some scholars abandoned Confucianism and followed Jia. They succeeded in business, built houses, temples, paved roads and bridges, and made their hometown very comfortable, magnificent and magnificent. After hundreds of years of social unrest and wind and rain, although more than half of the ancient houses, ancestral halls, academies and memorial archways were destroyed, hundreds of ancient houses were still preserved, and the basic features and styles of villages in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were preserved as a whole. Most of the houses in this village are built with black marble, and the roads in the village are paved with uniform marble.

Another ancient house in the village is "Dafudi", which was built in the 30th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (A.D. 169 1). Originally used for sightseeing, the six characters of "Peach Blossom Spring Man" were hung on the floor. Interestingly, most people nearby regard this building as the place where a young lady chooses her husband to throw hydrangeas in a costume drama, and now it has become the place where Xidi Village holds this folk activity. There is also an inscription "Take a step back and think about it" under the threshold of "Happy Land", which is insignificant and intriguing.

The water system of the village is designed according to the image of cattle. The clear spring is called "Cattle Intestine", which flows in front of every household, so that the villagers "do not hinder the distance of the creek road, and there is a clear canal in Jiajiamen Lane". After flowing into the moon pool called "Cow's Stomach" in the village, the "Cow's Intestine" is filtered, and then the house is bypassed to the South Lake called "Cow's Stomach" outside the village. The filtered water flows into the river bed again, which is one of the unique architectural arts of ancient Chinese villages. It attracted experts from Japan, America, West Germany and other countries to study it carefully.
