Visiting the Millennium Ancient Town - Wuyuan Jiangwan Travelogue43

Wuyuan Jiangwan, a national AAAA tourist area, is a shining pearl of Wuyuan, the most beautiful countryside in China. Jiangwan is a thousand-year-old town with a rich cultural heritage. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, 38 scholars, scholars and eunuchs were raised here; Jiang Yilin, a famous general who fought against the Japanese in the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Yichang, a doctor at the court, Jiang Yong, a master of the Qing Dynasty's Park Science, Jiang Qian, an educator in the Republic of China, and Jiang Zemin, a former general secretary.

Jiangwan Village was built in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties when the surnames of Teng, Ye, Bao and Dai gathered here to form a village called "Yunnan". In 1079, the eighth ancestor of Xiao Jiang, Jiang Enemy, moved into Yunnan, and his descendants gradually multiplied to form a large family, so Yunwan was renamed Jiangwan.

Xiaojiang Ancestral Hall was once described as the "best ancestral hall" among the 70 famous ancestral halls in Jiangnan and is one of the four most ancient buildings in Wuyuan.

The main hall of the ancestral hall is called "Yongsi Hall" and the two walls are dedicated to the portraits of Xiao Jiang's predecessors, such as the Han Chancellor Xiao He, the Southern Liang Emperor Xiao Yan, Prince Xiao Tong, Xiao Jiang's ancestor Jiang Dong and Jiang Yilin, the Ming Minister of Household Affairs.

The stone pagoda with four pillars, three doors and five floors is the namesake of Jiangwan village.

The stone pagoda is inscribed with "Jiangwan" by Jiang Zemin, the former President of the People's Republic of China.
