A River Runs Through It
The village gate, stone wall, old house, ancestral hall and the pavilion are all
from the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), they are elegant and simple. Many
ancient Chinese poets and writers enjoyed visiting the river and contributed
lots of poems, paintings and calligraphic works on what they saw and thought
here.
Xie Lingyun (385-433), considered the originator of China's landscape poems,
visited all the landscapes in the county and composed many fantastic poems to
eulogize its beauty during his tenure of office in Yongjia, the county where
Nanxi is located.
Cangpo Village and Furong Village are the two most
popular spots for visitors.
Cangpo Village dates back to
the Song Dynasty (960-1279). And although hundreds of years have passed, the
walls, houses, paths, pavilions, temples
and pools in the village still retain their
ancient style.
