Hongcun is located at the south foot of Huangshan Mountain, southwest of Yixian County 1 1 km. It used to be the only trading place of ancient Yixian in Beijing. The village covers an area of about 28 hectares, of which the area defined as an ancient village is 19. 1 1 hectare.

Hongcun was founded in Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (about1131-kloc-0/162), with a history of about 900 years. Hongcun was formerly known as Hongcun. According to Wang Jiapu's records, Hongcun was renamed Hongcun during the reign of Qing Qianlong because of its "expansion into Taiyi Elephant". Hongcun is a village dominated by the Wang family. Wang is a noble family in the Central Plains. Since the king moved south at the end of the Han Dynasty, his descendants have spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. Hongcun Wang was born in Jinling and moved to Huizhou in the Southern Song Dynasty. He is the ancestor of Hongcun.

Hongcun village is shaped like a cow, so it is called "cow-shaped village". The whole village takes the towering Leigang Mountain as the "bull's head", the green ancient trees all over the mountain as the "bull's head", the buildings in the village as the "cow's body", the rippling ponds and lakes as the "cow's stomach" and "cow's belly", the winding artificial water tunnel as the "cow's intestines" and the four wooden bridges at the edge of the village as the "cow's legs". Hongcun is only18km away from Xidi, and the climate is roughly the same.

Residential groups, especially the beautifully carved and colorful Chengzhi Hall, Jingxiu Hall, Dongxiantang Hall and Sanlitang, which are known as the "Folk Forbidden City", have deep alleys, antique shops beside Qingshi Street, towering old trees on Leigang, ivy stone wood and century-old peony that have penetrated into the walls of residential courtyards. The heavily guarded ancestral halls, such as Tang and Shangyuantang, and the Nanhu Academy, where 93-year-old Hanlin lectured on Liang's inscription "Scholar", constitute a perfect artistic whole. It can be said that one scene at a time can be painted everywhere, and it also reflects the profound cultural heritage left by a long history. By the Qing Dynasty, Hongcun was already a "metropolis full of fireworks and buildings" and is still the seat of Hongcun Town People's Government. In the mid-1980s, Hongcun began to develop a grid-like street system, which paved the ground with granite and passed through the artificial water system of every household, forming a unique water street space. The center of the village is centered on the "bull heart" of the Half Moon Lake-the Moon Marsh, surrounded by houses and ancestral halls, which is very cohesive. There are 158 residential buildings in the village during the Ming and Qing dynasties, of which 137 buildings are well preserved. The residential buildings in Qing Dynasty are not only beautiful in environment, reasonable in functional layout and elegant in architectural modeling, but also closely combined with nature to create a scientific and interesting living environment, which is one of the outstanding representatives of traditional residential buildings in China.

Most of the residential buildings in the village introduce Shenzhen water into the house, forming a unique "home garden" and "water courtyard" in the village, which makes the residential buildings in Hongcun create a unique waterfront residential model in Huizhou architecture. Hongcun is an outstanding representative of Huizhou traditional regional culture, architectural technology and landscape design. It has high historical, artistic and scientific value and is a true witness of Huizhou traditional architectural culture. Hongcun has been included in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO.

Back to the original building of the main hall, the brick carving of the gate and the archway pasted on the wall are beautifully carved. Located in the south of Hongcun, it was built in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty (AD 1607), and it is an artificial lake with an area of 20,000. The lake is in the shape of a big "bow", and the lake embankment behind the bow is divided into two layers. The upper layer is about tens of feet wide, paved with slate and pebbles, and the lower layer is planted with willows. There are Nanhu Academy, Wei Qingyu Bookstore and rows of ancient houses at the bow string.
